Xbox mod
clanggedin:
Some chips can can install a Bios from a flash drive if you have the adapter that converts a controller port to USB.
I believe the Xenium has that capability, but I'm not sure which others do too.

So how does the mod unit get its power from, if it was used with a flash drive?
I'm curious now.
You make a usb cable from one of the xbox's controller port (I figured that part out), then you hook up the mod chip to the usb cable and then the xbox is modded, right?
That's great, so now you never have to open the xbox and hardwire the modchip - like in the earlier examples already posted in this thread- so one could say its like a softmod? So the mod chip is portable too?
I don't see anything wrong with that. Heck you can unplug it and the xbox would be as normal as before. That's cool. My guess you could store XBMC in a spare partition or on DVD, when you have this dongle-type modchip attached, right?
That sounds better than opening up a xbox and changing its architecture

My god, Lloyd, you're obnoxious.
I said it once, but here it goes again. This thread is named "Xbox mod" That's the title of the thread. That means it's what shows up in the list of threads in the console section. It's six pages long. Does it occur to you that maybe . . . just maybe . . . Saint and all the mods are perfectly aware of the existence of a thread that might have something to do with *gasp* modding xboxes? Give it a ---smurfing--- rest.
Guess what? There's a thread in EE right this very second that is all about Chad getting a ticket for speeding. What? A thread about illegal activity? Call in the mods!!!
Even if modding an Xbox turns out to be technically illegal you have to be a ---smurfing--- ignoramus to not be able to wrap your head around the difference between modding an Xbox compared with modding a Gamecube or PS2. And, frankly, there are perfectly legitimate reasons to mod those consoles too, such as backups and defeating region lockouts.

No. That is not correct.
BTW, that speeding ticket was for going 25mph. I'm such a badass. :laugh2:
