sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Mainly the titel says it. I git a 360 today (pls don't throw old eggs at me for that :D ) which included a 512MB and a 256MB MU and i wonder if it would be possible to get one of those working on an OG XBox. Looks like both have a 5 pin design so there can't be that much of a different (except for the little "spacer" in the middle)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Why i got my self an xbox 360 or why i want to if that would work? 1) I like consoles and was still missing an XBox 360. 2) Because i would like to now that because it could become usefull in case of softmodding if you just mod a pad to fit the MU in it or mod an old MU with a MU from an 360 in it. And it`s also easyer to get a 360 MU instead of a compatible USB stick or an original classic MU, of which i own one but hey, it would be still pretty cool of that would work. 3) Why not, right?

allteaglich Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I think with these instructions it should work with what you plan to do https://www.instructables.com/XBox-360-Memory-Unit-USB-Connector/ Edited October 7, 2020 by allteaglich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTeamScotch Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 It should work. Both the original Xbox and 360's memory units are just USB drives formatted to FATX. Just make sure to look up wiring diagrams so you're sure which wire goes to which pin (and that they're using the same voltage rating). By the way, if you're just looking to have a high-capacity memory unit on the original Xbox, consider modding a memory unit and putting a usb flash drive in it like I did. Here's my 4GB MU: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 It should work and to say you have done it would be good. I have also tested a PSP in USB mode and that works just as good as a memory card and there is also using a old Ipod and a rooted android as a memory card method I still have my original memory card with the 007AUF BIOS flash mod files that I can flash the TSOP with Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my 4GB MU: I have considered to do a USB stick mod but the problem is now days to find one that's working with the xbox. And because i have two of these XB360 MU, which came with the XB360 i bought, i would like to give it a go. I though anyone already has tried it so i guess, i will be the first here. 7 hours ago, SS_Dave said: It should work and to say you have done it would be good. I will try it it later the day and report back if the XB360 MU work but for now i need way more coffee. @allteaglich : Thanks for the link. EDIT: I see i need a voltage regulator for my plan so i need to get one of these first (Dave could you drop one on the carpet pls?). So i will order from mouser totay cause is also need some caps. And maybe a stuppid question. A simple resitor (which i have here) wouldn't work just to figure out if this works or not?

"SanDisk Cruzer Blade". 4GB is the largest size the original Xbox supports. I'm not sure if you can get larger sizes and just format it to 4GB, but I would recommend just getting a 4GB (or smaller) stick to be safe. Smaller size sticks are actually getting harder to find these days. Here's one on ebay for example https://www.ebay.com/itm/254732627087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
