Original Xbox molding
Locke141:
So I have a 4 unmodified original Xbox’s, I payed less then $30 for all of them. I have had them for a while and am now targeting them for my game room setup. I want to mod them all and give 3 of 4 to friends and family. It seems the xbox mod seen never went away and is still pretty active.
I’m looking for feedback on my plane before I get started but plane to update this thread to the end of the presses.
The current plane:
* identify the models of each
* remove all sub v1.6 clocks capacitors
* rocky5 soft mode all 4, assuming non are v1.6. If one or more are v1.6 I’ll use a Aladdin XT.
* TSOP flash all non v1.6, probably with EvoX F G
* install large HD
* fill the HD with original Xbox games or just use a pre-made disk image from a torrent
I want them to be mostly used for original Xbox games, emulators are not the goal but will probably be added. Pretty sure I have all the odds and ends for needed for the soft mode and installing a SSD.
Dose anyone know I if I use the Evox f g if I can just swop the hard drives? Or is there more to it when using a pre made Disk image?

If you install a bios that disables the DVD drive check, you can use Chimp to clone the hard drive after you have one set up the way you like. No need to hot swap, either. I've got a custom bios that disable that check and gets rid of the flubber animation.

Interesting. So I can get one all set and simple clone and move it to another Xbox.
Thanks

Ignoring shovelware I wonder how large a complete xbox collection would be. We are starting to get to the point where these older hdd equipped consoles could be completely archived affordably.

I’ve seen torrents that clams to be complete, there were almost 2TB.
