i have a retal xbox, i haven't taken out one screw and i seem to have less probs then some mod-chip scrubs.
i have read the faqs.
need mod-chip? - ha! i got xbmp and xbmc and more to work on my hacked xbox.
most xbox retail dvd-rom drives can't read cd-r (which really does not make sense since game system as old as the sega cd can read cd-r copies of music cds, any cd player can.), my xbox reads anything i through at it, if i burn it correctly!
there is one thing i can't do, copy xbox games from the xbox's d drive.
why? i speculate that microsoft makes their games special multisession dvds, . frist session is iso9660, the second is xiso. that is why when you pop an xbox dvd in a pc, a video pops up telling you that you must play this disc on a xbox.
the xbox retail bios and mod-chips(actually a third party made bios that lacks all of microsofts piracy protection.)
ignores the first session, and reads the second session, where all the game files are.
since i hacked my xbox, evox don't reconize my bios because it is a retail bios. it won't ingnore the first session, meaning i only see the video file. how to i play retail games? boot the xbox with a retail game in it, so that the game loads before the hack does. it's exactly like booting from a cd on pc. after all isn't the xbox a scaled down pc?
