How much advanced has it been done?What did I even just type?How advanced has the modding scene gotten?I have broken several broken xboxs with bad hard drives or DVD drives.Can I mod an Xbox to not need a hard drive and have it save saves to a memory card or somethingCan I mod it to not need a DVD drive?How much shit can I take out of this thing?
>>11053273Xbox needs some kind of internal storage to work, maybe you can get some kind of IDE to SD adapter or whatever. Maybe there can be some kind of sexy external power supply mod or something.
>>11053280external PSUs are never sexy, but I'll be damned if they aren't a drastically superior choice
>>11053363That's the thing, you can put them around the corner or something.
>>11053365exactly, and if it breaks, you can just buy or build another with relative ease.
>>11053273Considering how you are unable to look up this info yourself, I would guess you can't solder either so you are shit outta luck
>>11053375I can solder fine dude
>>11053384Recap your shitSolder modchipInstall cerbios
I've been trying to get one all modded up. First one I broke by being an idiot. Second one was just fucked from the start. Third one, just as I was done, I forgot to plug the cpu fan in and RIP toasty. Now number 4 comes in few days and I'm ready to just fucking finish this already, These systems have so many damn caps. And I have to install the ram chips so I can play the library in 720p and other benefits due to personal autism.
>>11053407You sound super competent. Conducting an Xbox genocide.
>>11053435Yeah it hurts man. I have two fully recapped boards, one of which is fully populated with successful ram, and they're both dead. I'll find some way to get the parts back out there in the end. I couldn't stop playing that first xbox I did, and I know I'm going to use the shit out of it in the end, so I just have to give it a final push. If I kill one more, I know it wasn't god's plan and I have to repent for what I've done
>>11053398Also get a IDE to SATA adapter and get a HDD with the size of your choice
>>11053273If your hdd is broken you are fucked, you need a modchip or read your eeprom to make a new hdd to lock it with your eepromIf you have a working virgin xbox, Endgame is for you
Would there be a simple way to just clone my box's HDD? I don't really want to mod mine unless I absolutely have to in the case of something like my disk drive breaking
>>11054219I bet FATXplorer could handle that on pc
>>11053273I bought one from goodwill, games will play, but i can't get to the dashboard or what you call it.
>>11054219the hdd is locked with a 16 digit key, so even if you clone it, you need to get the key to relock the new drive
>>11054651What happens when you power on the system without a disc in the drive?
>>11053273mine is TSOP flashed with clockcap removedi would imagine their are better solutions in 2024
>>11055782Maybe installing Cerbios to your xbox, but tsop is the endgame you don't need anything else
>>11055593Is there a way to format a locked HDD even?, last time I tried I couldn't
>>11055593Has anyone come up with a way to crack those?
>>11056162>>11056174You have to unlock it with the key using either a modchip or soldering wires
My fourth Xbox was "delivered" today except it wasn't. So I may have my 4th (effectively) dead Xbox. Will pursue the package and such, but just kind of funny and maybe a little scary at this point
>>11056485I mean on a pc, format the hdd to use it on another thing
