Xbox software mods

Inside you will find a bounty of candy and happiness. After you finish the candy you will see the gray ribbon cable, hidding underneath it is a single gold T screw, remove it. They sometimes are quite hard to remove, wiggling may be necessary. Then you can lift the whole black plastic HDD tray out. The HDD power cable is routed through it to make your life harder.

All Xbox HDDs must be locked in order for the system to boot. When the system is first powered on the HDD asks it for a a key. If the system provides the correct key then the HDD is unlocked. It will remain unlocked for as long as it's powered, and will return to a locked state as soon as it loses power. It's important to note that any loss of power will cause the HDD to relock, the system doesn't have to tell it to or anything. Luckily relocking isn't really a big deal, since the Xbox has the key to unlock it again.

If something goes wrong during the hotswap for instance the CD times out before you complete the hotswap you can simply turn everything off and start over. Leave only your CD drive as the secondary master. However, you will plug the IDE cable from the Xbox into it. This will require the Xbox and PC to be quite close. You'll want to practice the motion you'll have to do a few times with the power off.

Keep in mind you'll be doing this while everything is powered up and running, so there is a good chance you'll die. Also the HDD spins very fast while on, and in general doesn't take kindly to violent shakes, so try to remove the IDE cable gently.

You'll want to set up your PC to boot from CD. Also a quick note. Now that you are all practiced and ready it's show time. When you're ready you'll power on the PC, wait a second or two and then power on the Xbox. As soon as the Microsoft dash is loaded go into your soundtracks and play a song, as soon as it starts playing you can be sure the HDD is unlocked, so you can pause it.

Now your PC should be at the xboxhdm main menu, waiting for your choice. If the hotswap went well xboxhdm should load. If not it's a sign you've angered the mighty warlord Odin. Determine what you did wrong and fix it, least he unleash his wolves Geri and Freki upon you. When you are prompted you will enter "xbrowser", which will load the xbrowser.

This will let you navigate to your Ndure folder, and run your Ndure script ndure. This will launch Ndure, where you will want to choose option 1 "Install Ndure [Install only ndure files]".

Ndure will then mod your Xbox. There are 3 steps and it takes roughly 10 minutes. Often time errors will show up, I've had success with the "ignore it and hope it goes away" policy. The Xbox should be modded now. Congratulations you've brought glory to Odin's name. I'll take this opportunity to go over some Xbox basics so you can follow along. First up there are 5 partitions on the HDD. C: - default dashboard stuff as well as the mod, generally don't mess with C:.

D: - DVD drive. E: - This is the main drive where you will be installing apps and what not. X: Y: Z: - these are caches, each about MB in size, they are required to play Xbox games, and probably for a lot of the mod stuff too.

You won't mess with them. Generally if you put a bigger HDD in you put all the extra space in F:, leaving E: at the default size. If you are sticking with the stock HDD you will put everything on E:. Next thing is FTP. FTP is the best way to access the files on the Xbox, and is pretty easy to set up. Hit connect and it should work. If not you'll have to find a more in depth Xbox FTP tutorial.

In the end I used an old mb memory card plugged into a USB Card reader and that was detected and erased by the Xbox fine.

Secondly, the download link for the softmod installer was no good for me, I think it only has part of what you need. I googled for "Splinter Cell soft mod NTSC" and eventually found this site that had the files I needed and a little more detail on which ones to copy onto the flash drive.

Otherwise everything else is much the same, use Xplorer to "inject" the files onto the flash drive, copy them over to the xbox hard drive and then load up Splinter Cell or whichever game you're using and load the same game from the hard drive. Reply 5 years ago. Thanks for the update.. Is Splinter Cell absolutely required?

Would any of those work? I was able to pickup a boxed copy of Splinter Cell for five bucks from a store near me recently and I think it's the easiest one to find out of the three. How do I install the emulators and roms? Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Try this with modding xbox software very simple steps www.

Which Usb drives plus does it have to plug into the memory slot or can it just plug directly into the xbox. Idk if this is what I was looking for but I had this guy do something to my Xbox and he put tons of classic games.
