I bought an XBOX on a whim. I have never owned an XBOX and I just started reading through stuff on the consolemods wiki. I turned it on for the first time this morning and instead of the usual splash screen, it said ind-bios and then loaded into a blue menu. Blue Menu Details Lower Left: EvolutionX V+3935 Lower Right: Name: HeXEn Left: [hard drive info; four partitions; looks like it's a 1TB drive) Right: BIOS: Unknown; Kernel: 1.00.5003.67 I opened the XBOX up and checked for the clock capacitor as prescribed by the wiki. It has been removed. The area around it is a little corroded, but given that the XBOX isn't misbehaving, I don't feel compelled to fiddle with these bits. I forgot to look at the TSOP chip before I closed it up (mainly because I hadn't gotten that far in the wiki yet to know that I should look at it). But, there were no mod chips, so I think what I'm looking at is a TSOP-flashed XBOX with a custom BIOS called ind-bios. Goals I'd like to make this XBOX "up to date" by flashing/installing the latest recommended firmware and dashboard software. I bought an adapter that allows me to hook a USB flash drive up to the XBOX controller port. Is this enough to get me started?
