What have you done to your xbox?

I am going to install a 120 gig hard drive (still havent ordered it yet), and as soon as my mod chip gets in im going to put it in, i got the Xecuter 2.3B lite with solderless pogo adapter, and after that im going to start moding Halo, i am learning how to do some stuff now, but for now im only able to do stuff with Halo pc untill my mod chip for my xbox comes in.

[glow=red,2,300]I've done nothing to my xbox and i have had it for over a year, what are the advantages of chipping my xbox? Someone I knew connected there xbox to the internet and downloaded the games onto his speacial harddrive so he needed no CD's and could get games free. He ended up with over 100 games. [/glow]

I just bought a refurbished xbox for 130 then put in a 160GB hard drive and executer 2 installed works like a dream im still learning on more thing i can do to it...Does anyone know where i could download games from to install onto my HD?

[wraggster]

All games released for xbox (homebrew games) are made with microsofts xdk, so only iRC is the place to get em efnet #xbins

We dont support any downloading of commercial games in any way shape or form though

Was it easy to install the new hard drive?

I need a new dvd drive in my xbox
or reparing

I'm seriously thinking about getting a used XBox. Are the emulators top notch and can I play them online? That's the only reason I want the XBox: emulation & homebrew. Also, what's the recommendation on the mod chip route and how much do they cost?

[wraggster]

the emulators and homebrew are very good,if not excellent

online play im not sure about.

Xbox Modchips, i would get an X-Bit or a Xenium modchip but make sure you choose a reputable company.

i dropped in a 120 gig drive - i was thinking about putting on a LCD, but it seems a bit wanky to me.

apart from that i havent done any other mods

[xboxlord]

Im abit annoyed with microsoft, the rumors are that xbox games will not be able to play on the xbox 2.

I'll probably look for a mod so I can play either of the systems' games on the xbox 2.

Thats if they do a mod, if they dont, it will be my last xbox.

ah well, what can i say, the top 2 where for customers, and the bottom piccy are of my xbox, just shows what ya can do lol

cheers
