so i found a xbox for dirt cheap yesterday so went ahead and bought it and today i ordered the executor 3 mod chip and a western digital 320gig 7200rpm drive. what im wanting to know is what bios's have you used and which ones work best. i plan to load the media center on it, the dvd2xbox and all the old school emulators and games. ill prolly store a few xbox games on it as well just for simplicity reasons, like doom 3, halo 1 and 2 etc... what do you guys recomend? im new to xbox. before yesterday i had never played one. lol.

I have mine softmodded.

williamb82 · 10-19-2009, 06:43 PM

i thought of doing that but since what i want to do required a larger hdd i figured id do the chip mod so id have more options. it wasnt that exspensive. $65 shipped for the chip with all install parts and $50 for the hdd. then again the xbox with 2 controllers and 2 games was only $35. lol

I always used a modified executer bios. Usually the latest build available and I would mod it to my likings.

Btw welcome to 2003.

williamb82 · 10-20-2009, 09:14 AM

i know its old but im not much of a gamer. and it was either break out all the old systems i have or get this and mod it and be able to play all the systems i have plus more on 1 machine. so this is what im doing.

**satanshatch** · 10-20-2009, 10:07 PM

think it's time to pull mine out and reload it. had an issue with xbmc.

IamSuprAwsum · 10-21-2009, 09:29 AM

I was told a couple weeks ago that selling my xbox was a bad idea. After seeing some of the cool stuff you can still do with them I tend to agree. Got rid of mine in the beginning of 08' though. Maybe its time to start looking on craigslist.

**satanshatch** · 10-21-2009, 05:10 PM

Looking for someone who can flash mine.. Aaron? Did you do yours?

Trky · 10-21-2009, 05:20 PM

I'll sell you mine chancey. It's already modded, loaded with xbmc as the default dash.

xbox's are cheap at the fleamarket. hadnt been to one in years so went with the gf to just look around at bigtop. saw it for $35 with 2 games and 2 controllers and all hookups. works perfect so figured why not. was going to wait till after i closed on my house but oh well. lol.

Trky · 10-22-2009, 10:53 AM

Gamestop has them for I think 35 or 25 or something. Hella cheap.

williamb82 · 10-22-2009, 12:02 PM

gamestop told me $50 with 1 controller and no games when i asked a few weeks back actually.

Trky · 10-22-2009, 12:25 PM

Huh. I bought one about a year ago for 35. Must have went up or been discounted when I bought mine.

williamb82 · 10-22-2009, 01:07 PM

idk. btwm, when you guys load the emulators for the old systems. where do you get the roms? will the roms for the windows xp emulators work on the xbox emulators? ive never done this before so dont know if they require any sort of strange format.
