FWIW, you can softmod the OG XBox without *ANY* game. The secret is having a computer with a long IDE cable connection. You boot up the (open) XBox to a certain point--I forget which point, as I did this more than fifteen years ago--and then unplug the IDE cable from the drive while leaving the power cable plugged in. You can then plug in the PC IDE cable to the hd and power the PC up. At that point, you can do whatever you want to the XBox hd. How does this work? The XBox hd is normally locked and unusable EXCEPT WHEN IT IS RUNNING. By leaving it powered up while switching IDE sources, it stays unlocked. (In theory, you could damage either the XBox or your PC, though I'm not sure how, as long as both are well grounded.) Cheers! (P.S. Be sure to upgrade the default 40-ping IDE cable to an 80-pin one; you'll see around a 20% increase in data rate. Seriously.)

​@@coastaku1954Except that you will, eventually, have to mod them, particularly if the HDD dies. If you don't get the eeprom.bin file before it goes bust, you are in deep trouble. In the end, all Xbox consoles must be modded in some way or another. It's inevitable.

I had a chip soldered in mine, man what I would have done for a softmod back then. I went to Radio Shack and talked to the guy who worked there. He said one of the other employees knew how to solder so I came back the next day and talked to the solder man. He ended up coming over my house with his kit. I had the xbox opened and I pointed to the spots I needed the chip soldered to. He did his thing and it worked perfect. Fast forward 20+ years and now I could solder a chip in with one eye closed.

It’s crazy this is becoming popular now… One of my friends had a modded Xbox with hundreds of retro games back in 2007. Shit was dope.

[@rsnumber2]

I remember doing this back in the early 2000s. I used Mech Assault and had to wire my own usb dongle. I also revesered tthe process and got an early adapter to use an Xbox controller on PC.

[@doitallYT]

This sounds pretty similar to what I had to do, the first time I soft modded my system I modified an original Xbox controller by splicing up a USB mouse with it so I can plug it into my computer. This let me access the memory card slots with the action replay software and a modified driver so I could transfer the modified save over, tons of work but it was well worth it! 😁👍

[@rsnumber2]

What also crazy was this was part of XBMC, if I'm correct, which later became PLEX, which I still use, lol

[@doitallYT]

XBMC later became Kodi, which is still a heck of a media center! And now we even have custom XBMC installs for the Xbox, giving it a very modern user interface, check out part 4 and 5 of my modding series to check it out! 😁👍

I guess I was one of the cooler kids, I had to softmod my Xbox with a PC and a SID5 Babylon disc. I remember the laughs whenever I'd tell people that the easiest giveaway that it's modded now is the USSR showing up on the menu 🤣

[@theboxofdemons]

You likely didn't need to buy a flash drive under 4GB. You could probably just partition a bigger one as a 4GB or less drive as the correct format, and leave the rest unallocated, and that would likely be detected by the Xbox.

[@TheDaddyotY]

In my first time, I cut the wire solder a USB female port to it. It was the early 2000s; USB flash drives weren't available everywhere. I used my Nokia 6230i and connected it with the Nokia CA-53. Good old times.

[@doitallYT]

I did something similar back in the day: cut off the USB female port off a spare mouse, the end of a controller, used some modded drivers with XP to convince the PC it was an action replay, then transfered over the Splinter Cell exploit. Good time man 😎👍

Careful buying flash drives online. Some aren't what they seem. The drive will show 500 GB on it and while it's plugged in but in reality it's 3 GB. Basically before it's sold, they changed the display settings in the drive so it shows more than it actually is. I'm not a programmer so idk how it actually happened but you get the idea.

[@jasonk9002]

Assuming Microsoft hasn't done anything proprietary to change how FAT32 works on the first gen xbox, you shouldn't need a drive smaller than 4GB to utilize FAT32. FAT32 just won't hold a file larger than 4GB but the limited capacity of the drive itself may be larger. Up to 2TB actually. In my work I use 64-128GB flash drives constantly to boot from older machines to re-image them or even flash bios'. At least I'm guessing that's why you mentioned a flash drive smaller than 4GB because older hardware requires that format. You should be able to use diskpart within CMD/PowerShell or use a mac/mac virtual machine to format as "MS-DOS" which windows will see as FAT32. Someone give me a shout if any of this is incorrect for the first gen xbox because I love to troubleshoot and learn. I hope someone learned from this too c:

[@doitallYT]

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Heres an idea that 'might' help your FTP needs, I had to use this method for a while; get a WiFi extender that you can keep near the Xbox (or a mesh router), the only requirement is that it has an ethernet port that you can plug the console in to. Then, hook the Xbox up to it and connect your computer to the same wireless network, then you can FTP over WiFi without needing to mess with a dozen extra cables! Sure, its not a perfect solution, but I hope that it helps you out! Alternately, you can grab a spare router that stays offline that you can hook up near the Xbox in a similar configuration to the above, but then you only plug in the power when you need to transfer files. Also not a sophisticated method, but it'll work in a pinch!

[@engagedswitch]

@@doitallYT Yeah both of those are valid points I didn't think about a spare router but that would be a good way to do it cuz if you already have all the stuff on the laptop you can just set them near each other and let them do their thing over FTP I'll probably try that sometime when I have a little down Because I have no lack of spare routers laying around I do i t support for a living and I'm constantly buying random cables and spare routers just because I never know them for something And I'm also one of those people who keeps at least one ethernet cord in my laptop bag and never no one's going to end up going to visit family or friend and have to troubleshoot something if you know what I mean Thank you for this idea sorry I should have thought of it sooner and didn't Thank you for your content sir and I hope you're having a good day God bless you and your family God bless you Jeremy Scruggs

A) Checked the model? 1.0-1.6 are compatible with this mod, no checks needed😎👍 B) this one is a 1.6, good ol' gold caps! I understand they still tend to leak, though to a lesser extent than the other clock caps, so far it hasn't shown any signs of beginning to do so. I'd pull the cap if it was a 1.0-1.5, buuuut that's the problem with these ones, error code if I do 😅 soldering is unfortunately a no go to me due to visual impairments, but at some point I'll find someone with the relevant skills to swap out with new caps just to be safe 😎👍

@@doitallYT With your A, not what I meant but you hit the hammer on the head with B. Glad to see you are thorough. Subscribing now 👍

[@doitallYT]

OH! A) was for 1.6's? Or am I still off? 😂 Anyway, thank you for the sub! I want my systems to last for years to come, can't do that if they're drenched in acid! Stay tuned, I'll be sure to have more cool content on the way 😁👍

[@Zayshy]

I need to do this I miss jsrf and other great games on diff systems

[@FirestormDDash]

Hey if you plan on doing this Also dig into Insignia Live. Its a server redirect bringing back online Live for OG games. They got 64 games up so far. I dont even have a interest in moding the console, but playing mech assualt and star wars battfield online? Yes plz.

[@MatWilson2612]

It's much easier then this now - no longer needs the game or a working DVD drive! It's so much easier now.

[@doitallYT]

I actually covered that method after it drops, check out this video if you want to see it in action 😁👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boupoXeldrGnf80

[@chuckles1808]

You don't do the "push the button, time it, and hit the top of the console" trick? My favorite Xbox feature. I miss mine.

[@CuttinChris]

Used mechassault had so many games burned onto it thanks to movie rental stores and borrowing friends games. The good old days.

[@mvp9092]

I bought one off Ebay for $60 , best come up in 2022 for me

[@doitallYT]

Heck of a fine dude! Nice 😁👍

[@relate97]

Same just bought one for 60$ off Facebook and it has a blue ghost case xecutter2 chip inside think just the hard drive alone it came with was worth more than what I paid lol.

[@doitallYT]

DUDE, THE SCORE 🤯 I still have my X2 chipped system, though it unfortunately is now long dead 😥 still, awesome memories!

based little sister

[@doitallYT]

You know it! The other siblings were already setup with modded systems, now we have enough players for 4 system LAN parties 😎👍

[@lolcat]

@@doitallYT Halo 2!!!

[@doitallYT]

You know it! 💪😮💪 Thought admittedly, we do spend more time in Halo 1 playing 'bumper cars', the physics are so broken that it can lead to some pretty funny results 😂 more specifically, we've been playing Halo Covenant Edition because some of the levels are AMAZING for bumper cars, there are two that have high-rise bridges that you can fall off of which adds an extra layer of awesomeness 😈

[@senorbusyman]

I still have my Xbox modded. I can play burned games that I would charge $20 to burn for others if their Xbox was modded too. I can also save & install on my Hard Drive hence later it became a feature for Xbox 360

[@michael040990]

I used to rip the hard drive out in the preboot then plug it into my pc to write the mod to the hdd

[@onioncontrol]

You can build the adapter by just splicing a female usb to the male end of the controller plug

[@Penkino]

Mf what

[@KishoshimaDragonash]

I miss that menu system

[@ScyutsBlckCloud]

Buy old Xbox from childhood and send to you for full modding. Got it thanks for the info and mass respect to you bruv

[@mikeschneider9462]

I got an og Duke controller and my buddy modded a USB slot into the bottom memory card slot on the controller.

[@justinnormandin1498]

You know you can buy the belts for the disc drive really cheap and you can actually replace them with a pair of tweezers while the tray is open you don't even need to take anything apart but do not drop the belt or you will probably need to take it apart to get it out lol

[@doitallYT]

I really should order some of those belts, I've been sticking to the routine of removing it while the drive is open and cleaning off the gunk with a paper towel and Q-Tip with some isopropyl alcohol, works great for a few years but it probably would last longer if I just replaced the old ones 😂

[@korbenbutterworth3479]

@@doitallYT yeah eventually the old one will turn to goop it happens in cassette decks and reel to reel machines and it’s the worst thing to clean ever on my reel to reel it got underneath the lever mechanism for the playback controls and took 2 days to clean off

[@dahuchsi]

I'd prefer an originally modded modded xbox. Mine has an Xecuter. I think it still works. Ahh. This is awesome though, didn't know it became so easy.

[@lovelorn88nick]

I actually might use this method since i have Splinter cell. Got a usb to xbox cable and flash drive on the way. Ive heard you dont have to use a exploit game anyway though?

[@doitallYT]

You're right, there is a new method available! The ENDGAME exploit only requires a flash drive and adapter, it's really easy to pull off! Here's a video on the subject if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boupoXeldrGnf80
