I'm glad to hear it you got it o kn your system, if I remember right, hitting the black button or the white button on the controler will give you the option to search by console.

Let me know when its unpacked and I will let you know what to do next.

I understand. I'm the same way. But I dont think I have ever seen one complete download.

I dont understand what OP is but here is the issue I am having. When I started xbox, I was always told that xboxhdm required an old computer running a special version of linux and it could only be done on old ide hard drives, not sata drives with converters. Now I hear there is a windows version. I still dont know if it needs an old computer and all the above mentioned specifics, plus because of the original mentioned conditions to make the program create a hdd from scratch is only 50%, that's why I used chimp loader. So what has changed over time to make xboxhdm a better program?

Ok you chose which version you want, and I can help you put it on your system. Download all the parts and unpack it and I will give you the next step. Is it possible you can explain xboxhdm to me, you seem to me more knowledgable on that program where as I know more about chimp loader.

I just checked it out, coinops ninja massive is 45gb where as coinops 8 massive is 88gb. Feel free to chose what ever you would like, but I would still stick with coinops 8 massive.

No, the last time I checked I got coinops 8 massive. I dont no what ninja is but generally if you want the most amount of games get am version that is labeled massive. There might be a coinops 9 out by now so if there us, get the coinops 9 massive.

It is going to take awhile, if you are downloading the correct version of coinops 8 massive, it should be roughly 88gb. It took me days to get my copy because it was broken up into 65 parts. Once it finishes, let me know and I will go on to the next step.

First what you need to do is google coinops 8 massive and you will find the official website. The download takes forever, so once it is started, sit back you are going to be there awhile.

It is not hard to do but it takes about 4 days to do so not only are you slowly transferring 88gb but your also stress testing your system. I can explain how to do it, if you would like.

If necessary, I have a version of the modding program that has the skins and all the important stuff. I can send you the file and you can reflash your xbox with it. I dont know if your dashboard has it but mine has dvd2xbox built in.

It's under the settings tab, and then misc. Tab, then skins.

I thought you got the skins working, because the skin you have now is not the default skin for me. Skins would be under misc.

That is exactly the version of dashboard and the theme I use and it works very well. I am glad you managed to get your system up and running.

Glad things are working for you and glad we can help.

I understand completely. IRS not made for that.

I haven't put a drive that big in mine, I just know it's possible. Then again you put the complete xbox original collection and the 90 emulators I have, you might fill a drive that size.

You want to know overkill, the xbox original runs on the xfat file system. That file system can be streached to the point where an xbox original can have a 3tb internal hard drive. 3tb makes your 500gb loom like nothing. 3tb is overkill x10.

Let's hope the drive last for awhile since the manufacture date on it says april 2009. That's a 10year old drive, in the technology world it might as well be 50 years old.

You will need to also go on YouTube and find a video that shows you exactly how to fold the cable so you can properly close the lid on the system.

Plus, you will get more life out of a new hard drive with an SATA to ide adaptor tha. An old 500gb ide hdd. Also you will need a long 80wire ide ribbon cable, I reccomend this one, I used this type for years. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F111758773275

Have fun with that, for me upgrading the hard drive was a real headache

No problem, I am glad we could help. Enjoy your newly molded system.

I thike nikeymike is the residential expert on action replay, I know the ins and outside if modding a system with a flash drive but my knowledge on action replay stops where his starts

If this is a personal computer, I right click the program and an option 8s run as administer otherwise, you could do that sharing program you linked me to.
