Modded Original Xbox System Review - Gamester81

[@TboneTenEighties]

I have 3. Two soft modded and 1 hard mod. Love them all. Great console.

[@Gamester81]

Nice!

[@jamesjr2550]

What's the difference between hard mod and soft mod

[@TboneTenEighties]

@@jamesjr2550 Soft mod is simply done without taking the console apart. Hard mod is done with opening / taking the console apart and installing a mod chip and flashing the bios using a program via computer / laptop. Many videos explain both methods.

[@Tyler16bit]

The original Xbox is in my top 3 favorite systems, and I actually have 5 different editions of it. I'd like to mod one just to see the capabilities, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

[@pizzagamer1080]

again another amazing video by John; Gamester81. Thank you for years of incredible knowledge in gaming! Love your videos, keep up the amazing work bro. Shoutout to Gamester81!!

My favourite console. It had the best FPS and Stealth games out of all of the 3 consoles from the early oughts.

[@vadergamer7722]

I love my modded xbox ...it has 5000 games and i use it with a x-arcade tank stick..pure arcade feel

[@Fraz001]

Putting in a new hard drive is the most challenging thing about the XBOX. I just put whatever I am into at the time on it.

[@316whatupz]

It is easier now with FatXplorer software. I used it to format my 1tb hard drive. Only thing is I had to unlock it with TruHexen 2021 (ripped into DVD and into my Xbox). Unfortunately, I found out about FatXplorer afterwards so I don't know if it can unlock HDDs.

[@Fraz001]

About the size of a coleco. I love candy!

[@Fraz001]

Who needs the internet when you can read comic books with the original XBOX.

[@mlgxxx808]

was original xbox only popular in north america

[@Super_Bros.]

It did alright but like GameCube it was a flop. Only really PS2 did well during the sixth console generation.

[@jakeplayzyt5220]

@@Super_Bros.the og Xbox wasn’t a flop, what are you on about? It sold 24 mil world wide.

[@brandonlehman7440]

been a fan since i was a kid, love your videos john. you're a big reason im a collector!

[@MidnightPodcastGaming]

Just bought my second modded OG XBOX 🥃

[@noneed4me2n7]

I still have a few of these kicking around with 2tb drives coinops 128mb ram upgrades and other goodies. Got an arcade tank stick with trackball and it plays all the older arcade hits so well. I even recapped a couple for long term preservation. Won’t last forever but I still drag them out now and then. Outrun 2 on it through an upscaler brings me so much joy.

[@vutusputus2784]

I bought one with 750 Xbox games preloaded a while back.im looking into buying another one with 950 games in it both have 2 tb hdd I wanted to use it for system link. Would you happen to know if this would work?

[@noneed4me2n7]

@@vutusputus2784 as far as I know that shouldn’t be an issue the consoles still work as originally. I haven’t done it myself so I can’t say for certain; maybe look for videos of people who have. Stuff from Modern Vintage Gamer and the like. If you’re asking because they are both modded I doubt that would be a problem either.

[@vutusputus2784]

@@noneed4me2n7 cool thanks for the info 👍

[@316whatupz]

My advice is to avoid softmods. I've had the software that runs the softmod corrupt on me randoming various times leading to a yellow ring of death. Either go with TSOP or modchip your Xbox to avoid this (I got mine TSOP'd).

[@tsize869]

Do you have a link? My birthday is soon

[@ThePorkchopExpress975]

i have the parts to add a hard drive so i can add my games to the hard drive but can never find the time to do it. i have a modded one as well through the splinter cell exploiot

Hey John , solid Review glad you enjoy an Xbox device , ,😸👍

[@Gamester81]

Thanks

[@wyldelf2685]

@@Gamester81 and thank you for collecting so many cool retro game consoles , you have awesome private game museum , 😸👍👍

[@darthv72]

Good vid. Slight correction. Outrun 2 is Outrun 2. Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast is a different game.

[@bdillmore40]

Softmod isn't permanent if I recall? So every time you turn it on does it need to be installed again?

[@qbertaddict1]

It is not permanent but it doesnt have to be reinstalled or exploited again if you lose power like some other softmods

[@Realizationatalltimehigh]

I have a modded Xbox ended up messing it up by trying to use online mode on doa and it patched the system. The games and emulators are still on the system. Not sure what to do. Good video Xbox is my favorite console as well.
