Titch's OG Xbox mod: IDE-SDHC, PSU swap, softmod, and more
- aspenmayer 6y agoThese mods are so much fun, and easy enough for determined kids, or adults. Takes me back to my MechAssault softmod OG Xbox, in which I replaced the dashboard with XBMC (now commonly known as Kodi, yes that Kodi[1]), and had to setup ftp to do most of that and the rest, including dumping my OG HDD encryption keys to replace the drive, hot plugging the OG optical drive to dump the firmware for that and patch it, re-assemble, and then add my network shares for network attached saves, game backups, etc. I almost forgot the part where I had to splice a USB extension cord to an Xbox controller extension cord, twice. Once to format the USB stick as an Xbox memory stick, and the other direction to transfer the MechAssault game save exploit to the Xbox-formatted flash drive with some Game Genie type software that is “free with purchase of the hardware” which you just made at home from spare parts. Xbox controllers and memory cards have been USB devices since forever. That’s a neat quirk, and potential exploitation vector. Lots of legacy code and edge cases, the specs (which one you want lol) are pretty dense reading. People make mistakes. Be safe while modding, on that note!
