Topic: Anyone softmod their xbox?

I was thinking of doing this to ours. Might be fun loading up some emulators and stuff.

Good idea. A friend of mine modded his Xbox and now he has Doom II on it! I've seen Quake 3 Arena on the Xbox as well (the PC version).

Mine is.  But my friend did it for me so I am not sure how it is done.  I use my Xbox now primarily as a DivX/XviD movie player.

I've thought about it, and I found a really good tutorial at one point, but then it seemed like a fair ammount of work (in reality it's probably really easy) and I didn't want to track down the game neccesary to do it so I never bothered.  But now that you bring it up maybe I should look at it again.

Huh, found a tutorial here. Doesnt sound so hard. Just have to get an Action Replay, and I recently got a copy of Splinter Cell.

Interesting, that's a lot easier then the other one I found.  The other one required you to have Agent under fire, a memory card, action replay, and then to hook your pc directly to your xbox.  In retrospect, it was probably a tutorial for making the xbox an ftp or something which would require the softmod (I have no idea why else you'd want to directly connect it to your pc).

Maybe I should get on that then.

We used to hook up the Xbox to the PC just to use the PC as a server with XB-Connect. It's a better alternative to Xbox Live, i.e. it's FREE! It basically acts just like any multiplayer game you've ever played: start a server, join a server etc. And you just connect to it with your Xbox.
