It's a used. drive but it's good enough for now I didn't pay that much for it and as it is money's tight at least for a month or so If it doesn't work I'll go the other route that you guys suggest Edited September 4, 2019 by Onknight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 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.

nikeymikey Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yeah but you can’t use the whole 3tb, you will only get 2.2tb or similar useable space so it’s really not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onknight Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) ya for me I have that 60 terabyte server When I am Tired of a game I could take it off via FTP . I have a copy on the server I am also doing some emulation but not a lot I'm not going to be using this thing to watch videos or anything like that because I have a media PC sitting right beside it This is strictly for games Edited September 4, 2019 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slycooper124 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slycooper124 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the softmod extras disc and reinstall Unleashed X Now I've got a ton of skins I'd like to make my own though even though what I've seen is very impressive I'm going to be getting a skin for the Xbox and I will give it a Detroit Lions theme by skining it in Oct Now I need to be able to find how to install coin-ops or something similar so I can play retro games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slycooper124 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slycooper124 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 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.

nikeymikey Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Isn’t the latest version of CoinOPS called “Ninja”???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 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.
