I would definitely be interested. I have read about titan, Cerbios for larger drives. Does evo x bios have a 2TB limit?

Thank you. I will look around.

The LCD Mod is not something i really want, was trying to see if there were alot of differences in mod chips that work better with certain mods. I had heard about the LCD mod and that was why i was wondering. In regards to your other messages I would be interested in the other chips you have coming over. One question i would have about that is will there be the same complications with these chips you are getting from china similar to what i was reading in the mod chip section of this site where the labeling was wrong and flashing to those chips being a pain. This would be my first mod chip installation and i am trying to make sure that i am setting myself up to have a good experience with it. Honestly the only thing i am really looking for is the ability to have a large HDD with Most of the Xbox library(skipping repeat sports titles), the 128MB mod and the HDMI mod. I would really like to have the 1.4Ghz upgrade but i have been reading that is really complicated and i know that i wouldnt have the skill for that.

I have been lurking for a while and I am not sure what mod chip to get. I have looked at the spreadsheet and while it shows features of each I am not sure which one I should try and find. I also have been reading where it is hard to find some of these and there are some who are getting clones from Ali express. goals for my build would be install make mhz hdmi mod minimum 2TB drive for games 128MB upgrade I saw on the make mhz site there is an open xenium mod chip that is back ordered till Octoberish. Is that something people on here would recommend or should I look at something else? Are certain mod chips better with certain revisions of Xbox? Are certain other mods(LCD, 1.4Ghz CPU upgrade) better with other mod chips?

Was it something in the Army Men Series?

Thank you

Never thought to paint that but will have to try it. Any kind of paint you recommend works best for that?

I have downloaded all the DLC I could find for games( crimson skies, mechassault etc) I am wondering if it is possible to install this dlc with iso images of these games or do they have to be the HDD ready version of the game.

I can completely understand the cheaper hard drives. Another aspect I thought of was just time in general. We only have so much time in a week. I think it would be near impossible to have memorable experiences with all 800 something games. It’s good to narrow down the list for that reason as well.

Since cerbios allows for up to 16TB HDDs, does that mean we could be waiting 10 or 15 minutes for everything to populate on a drive that full. To bring it back to the original topic of the thread. I can understand wanting a smaller drive to reduce the amount of boot time. But if cerbios has some tricks up its sleave to make this faster would make a larger drive easier to deal with.

How soon do you think that will be available. I was going to go home tonight and download the HDD ready pack and this has me changing my mind

That does look pretty good. Ill have to consider doing the cpu mod. So many mod choices, not sure where to start. Thank you for doing this.

I keep seeing strange issues like the one you mention with windows 10+ machines. Makes me want to baby and hold onto all my old machines even more.

Thats amazing you were able to get so many to work. I havent even considered doing a cpu mod because i thought i wouldnt get alot of games to play on it. One i am curious about is how well does elder scrolls 3 morrowind work on it? I know you had listed it but wondered how much time you spent in the game after the cpu mod. I read that there are ways to mod morrowind for the xbox as well and i figure this cpu mod could help in making using a modded version of that game even better

Seems odd to not change out thermal paste or glue after this long. I am starting research what all i want to do to mod my machine and i know typically when working with old electronics generally you change that out. I havent removed the cooler yet but now i will probably leave it alone

Ill have to keep this in mind if i ever have this problem

This is a really cool project

I agree the online craze kind of started us down this path. I know the pitch back then was being able to play around the world would lead us to connect to everyone. Honestly i think it has done the opposite effect. I missed the days of the lan party of bringing your xbox and tv to someones house to have either an all night or all weekend gaming fest where you hung out with your friends. It was just because you liked to play the game and not trying to fill out some daily or weekly challenge. At my last job i worked with a group of guys who used to do that as well and we all reminised about what we used to do when we were younger. Rather than just talk about it me and another guy decided we were going to do something and we organized a lan party. 6 orignal xboxs and 12 people later we played star wars battle front 2, halo 2, crimson skies, mech assault 2. The amount of trash talking, funny moments, and victories was the most fun i have had in a long time. If you have a group of friends you can convince to do that, do it. The older people get, the less likely they are to do it.

I also went on a spree of buying accessories. Picked up the controller for steel batallion (dont have the game yet) because i found someone who was wanting to get rid of it. Got a driving wheel that i didnt know existed, got the two mad catz green light guns and probably the coolest one i found on ebay recently was a wireless controller for the orginal xbox, not the logitech one that most game sites have. This controller feels as good as some of the newer controllers and it was from a brand i had never heard of. Even writing this now i dont remember what it was called. Have to go look at it again.

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum and honestly to any forum of this type. I never really got into modding but have had the urge to do so now. Modern games dont do it for me. Either the constant attempts to take all your money, the games feeling repetitive, or beloved franchises being completely disrespected. I spent so much time complaining about games that i decided that i wanted to go back to a time when i actually enjoyed games. The orginal Xbox had every genre i could imagine and had many entries within the same franchise come out on it unlike what we see now where we are lucky to get one game in a franchise in a generation. Even though i played a ton of the original xbox there was so much i missed out on and i am looking forward to experiencing those things as if they were new. I am just glad i started my collection of games a really really long time ago and never got rid of them. Any good tips on where to pick up games where everything including the manual are intact but are not going to spend a fortune? Any recommendations on where is the best place to download games?

Just joined, i also feel late to the party but the original xbox was always my favorite system. I dont have 4...yet
