duox direct boots any unsigned codes without any swap and lets you play online without any external on/off switch. You start xbox with power buton and it will boot to evox dashboard/menu can you can launch games from there. Start xbox with eject button and its an unmodded xbox and you can play online with it.
You can also rip games on hard drive using dvd2xbox software.Insert game,hit copy and it takes care of the rest.Then you dont need the disc anymore you can play from hard drive.Any other questions send me a pm thanks.
