LoRd_SnOw Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) It's possible, but the box that needs the dvd drive will also need a mod chip. AFAIK, if it's the drive replacement is a standard pc dvd drive, it will only recognize burned games and not the original. Did some googling, you can find out more about it here: http://www.xboxscene.com/articles/dvddrive.php Edited April 16, 2012 by LoRd_SnOw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iq_132 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's a pc-dvd -> xbox swap. I'm talking cannibalizing another xbox.Screw it, i'm going to give it a try. lol *edit*Works fine. Didn't realize it was a philips -> philips swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69mustang Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) You don't need to have a specific DVD drive on the xbox as long as its from an xbox. They're not married to the motherboard like on the 360. It won't make a difference if the system is chipped or not either.

LoRd_SnOw Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If the drive is from another box, then no it won't matter. However, if 'pc-dvd->xbox' swap as iq_132 best illustrated, then yes a mod chip is required. Philips tend to be the norm, Samsung is quite the rarity these days. I will have to find one when I can, I want to do some experimenting with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iq_132 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 So I decided to work on CPS-3 for a bit yesterday. I've got SFIII2 up and booting, however, it runs at 1FPS for some reason. I'm going to have to investigate further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Only 59 more to go. Great that you got it booting. Is that on a stock 64Mb Xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iq_132 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 No, on the 128mb one. I'm planning on getting it going on the stock machine at a later date. I'm curious how it goes without the vmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
