Most N00b Question Ever...

[AntiWinner22]

Alright. I have $80. I am going to buy a 120 HD and a Mod for my XBOX.

 

1. What OS should I use?

2. What emulators are best? I mean, for EVERY console possible to emulate on the X

3. Which is the best Mod Chip?

4. Where can I get it for cheap?

5. Where can I get a switch for it?

6. XBL... Know where I can get some free codes for it?

1. There's really no OS unless you intend to put Linux on it. I think the correct term you mean is Dashboard. There are many types based on your preferences. If you wanna start out easy and have one of the most stable, get EvoX first.

 

2. I think the best ones are the ones done by X-Port http://xport.xbox-scene.com/

They're usually top quality and support many roms. Others like Snes and FBA (the original) are done by Lantus http://www.lantus-x.com/xSnes9x/default.asp

The only other one you'll need is MAMEoX.

 

3. I think the best modchip that's the cheapest is the X2.3b Lite. It does pretty much everything you need (unless you intend to do some programming for the Xbox, then get the Pro).

 

4. Try System-Mods.com or Modchipman.com. They are the only official resellers for the X2 in the US. If you need a reseller from somewhere else in the world, go to the official website http://www.teamxecuter.com/

 

5. The switch is built in with the newer modchips.

 

6. Not sure what you mean here, but if you wanna get on Xbox Live with this Xbox I would refrain from doing so. Microsoft has not only started checking modified BIOSes, but are now implementing Hard Drive Size checks as well (even though I'm not sure if they've banned anyone with this method yet).

editid my post out cuz Vermillion answered before I was done with my post.. and said basicly the same thing.

 

I'll just add to check the tutorials and forum at xbox-scene.com most every thing you kneed to know is there.

 

and that you can't get hacked emulators kawa-hex, n3oghost's fbax from the usual places.
