So I found my old modded xbox...

[Scinta]

I recently moved to san diego for college and sadly I have only been able to play the games on my laptop so I have been bored out of my mind smoking weed and climbing coconut trees. But then my dad found my old xbox that he modded which has a PC HDD and lets you download old xbox titles on the xbox for free! I remember telling him 50 times that all of the games are gone but I decided to start it up and went to the launch menu...then came the list of my childhood Black from 2005 OH GOD THE MASTERPEICE THE VISION then there was Blitz the league my favorite sports game because it's like being the naughty NFL coach that gets away with everything lmao and you can also injure players in brutal x ray vision mode (MK 9 stole it from here but Blitz is still a midway title) then I found a couple other interesting titles like destroy all humans oh man what a wonderful game, what other game lets you have an anal probe? XD Halfe Life 2 is also on there and plays horribly...a couple other titles like dynasty warriors 5 ( ugh I wish I kept Stubs the zombie back when I was a kid) then there is one game I could never get to work called Dreamfall the long journey or something like that, looks awesome put crashes everytime i save lol. BUT, there is one game that made me get down on m knees and gleefully freak out in nerdgasm. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, FUCK YES and I still have all of my saves. I used to play this game so much I know where every card from the deck of 52 is to this day. Back when I played this game I seriously thought the soundtrack was trying to brainwash you with it's constant theme of being an indiana jones massacre. If y'all dont believe me I will post a video of me starting it up and playing any of the games I have and show you im not lying haha. I would recommend the xbox over the 360 any day of the week If I could go back in time I would have saved all of my games (mech warrior 1 and 2 for the xbox.)

What are your favorite games from back when it required 10 hours to beat the story?

could I get in trouble posting more about this? because I have discovered a megaton of info about what this xbox is capable of doing and it sounds like I am not alone with this kind of knowledge.

Why would you get in trouble? the console is 14 years old

You could get permanently suspended from Xbox Live on a console and account level. Additionally any permanent enforcement action on an Xbox Live account affects the remainder of any Microsoft services associated to the Microsoft account. So if you have ever signed into that console with say the same Microsoft account that you have your MS Office through if MS finds out you're using a modded console you may also loose access to Office as well as XBL. Additionally it is still a federal offense and copy right infringement to be have copied the base game data from the disc to the console (in any manner no longer requiring the disc to be played) as such could open you to risk of civil and criminal suits. Bare in mind that is a technicality and I've not heard of someone being charged for Xbox Titles before.

In order for these types of things to happen though publishers and Microsoft would need to read our forums XD (although MS may or may not monitor this forum as I have accessed it from my workstation in the past).

The live service for the Orinal XBox is no longer up, so I dont think Microsoft has anyway of monitoring it

The point im getting at is if I can trust people on here not to rat me out for basically giving you a guide on how to mod your xbox, I have almost all the info I need to know, the problem is finding the right type of software to download this, see my dad used an old fashioned ISO compresser that was non torrent based. Since he has retired that knowledge which was about 10 years ago I am pretty much on my own finding a way to get the proper software for my computer to be able to burn games directly onto the HDD inside the xbox not just simply downloading and burning a game on a CD (outdated system dropped since GD-ROMs IE Dreamcast)

I've got an original Xbox that I've been meaning to mod. Bought the Gameshark USB memory adapter and Mechwarrior to run a save game exploit, but it's just been collecting dust.

[Scinta]

nice, I still have both of my gameshark controllers one had little fans for the palm grips and the other was a really crappy wireless controller

The XBox Police are here, they're going to ban you!

[Scinta]

lol it's not like I need to log into my windows account to update my dashboard, the problem is finding a safe way to do it.
