Pirate bay has lots of Xbox torrents on an open tracker, but can be quite slow. However the torrents hang around a long time - http://thepiratebay.org/

Also Torrentsearch http://www.torrentsearch.com - hit and miss though and you have to register now I've just noticed.

FTP either in XBMC or UnleashX.

AFAIK There's only one GBA emu for the xbox, but I'm not sure as I've never tried any.

Dr PC_Arcade I, well a mate has an Xbox problem. He has a chipped Xbox - an old one - V1.0 (don't know what modchip is in it). Anyway he has had nothing but trouble with it with the solderless chip losing contact. After months of resetting and pressing down on the top to make good he eventually opened it up and upon removing the chip he noticed the track had removed itself from the PCB somehow. He did a track repair which works OK but still has poblems with the contacts not making correctly.

Well he's asked me if it's feasible to softmod it. I couldn't answer him as 1) the Xbox refuses to do anything without the modchip functioning and 2) the hard drive has been replaced for an 80 GB model.

Can this Xbox be softmodded with the modchip installed and working; and once done removed. Or is there anyway it can be done with the chip removed first.

This is a lot to ask you after all the help you've provided so far to everyone here and slightly OT I know. But tia for your thoughts. :D

1) Does the Xbox power up with the modchip removed? if so then you should be able to softmod, if it powers up and gives an error code, what is that code?
2) If the drive is lockable then yes, it will work fine :)

Yes to both of those questions although if you're softmodding with thte chip in, you have to do it a slightly different way

PC_Arcade it took ages to load and only once. Here is the only English left on the page (looks different to when I last looked a it.

Quote:
Well, that doesn't look like English to me, and my German is more rubbish than my French, so here's a broad translation of the French version, aimed at figuring out if the XBox is a 1.6 or not (Linux has problems with 1.6).

To find out, look at the serial number on the bottom.

It has this form: LNNNNNN YWWFF

The last two digits (FF) denote the factory it was made. 02, 03, 04 are okay. 06 is 1.6 (too new).

If it's 05, then it's okay if it's green transparent or a 'crystal pack'.

If not, then it gets more complicated. If the digit Y (see above) is 3 or lower, than it's ok. If Y is 4, and WW is 11, it's okay too.

If not, then it gets even more complicated, and it's 50/50 chance it's too new. Check the line number (L) and look at the table in the French version of this page - the date is week WW, year 200Y, so look up the version in the column for your line L.


Also here is link from that page to a PDF file which works OK:

Well my XBOX has just hung when I tried the Mechassault 'Run Linux' method. :(

What's the alternative softmodding procedure (ie I've had it open once to change the PSU so the warranty is pop anyway. :)

Yeah, that means you have picked the open traystate booting during the installation. PCA probably knows how to change this. I don't.

PC_Arcade help. Trying to mod another Xbox. When it gets to the point to do the UXE install it come up with a message that the MSDash is out of date and aborts immediately. I checked and it must be really old K:4034, D:4034 and in the dash there is no Xbox Live option or anywhere for network settings.

Do I need to update the MSdash first, if so how? A game? I tried a few originals I have and none them update the dash. Or do I need the Xbox Live disc?

Cheers!

What games do you have?

Of the 3 softmoddable games, 2 (splinter cell and Mechassault) have dashupdates on them, simply select live and the game will automatically update the dash.

ANY Live enabled should have a dash update on it, just select live and it should upgrade the dash automatically.

Or you could use the live disk if you have that.
