LPC Mod V 2.0 and general startup questions
 

soon as my xbox is delivered, I'll have it chipped with the LPC Mod V 2.0 which I already have.

> I want to play backups on my system from cdrw and HD, which programs do I need for that and where to get them?

>I want to watch divx movies what programs do I need and where can I get them?

To play backups, all you need is a modchip. To make backups, you need flashfxp, evolutionX, and a network between a PC and you xbox. Also, not many xbox games can fit on a cd-rw, so don't get your hopes up too high when copying, cus the games are just too big.

To watch divX movies, you will need a program called "Xbox Media Player" (xbmp). That's it.

You will also need a program called Xiso to make the xbox iso images.

alright, thanks.

two questions left:

>How many games will I approximately get on the original Xbox HD?

>How long does it take to copy a game to the xbox from my PC and do I have to rip it first create an ISO and then burn it?

1. It depends on your xbox HDD. Right now, the xbox should have about 8 gig on it, and you should only use about 6 gig. So you can put 1-3 games on the xbox Hard-drive, depending on how big the games are.

2. Hmm, it copies maybe 1.3mb/s. So if the game is about 2gb, should take about 25-35 mins. If you play games off your HDD, you don't need to make an iso.

sounds good, thanks a lot for your help.

finally received my Xbox yesterday, do I need any program to start the games from the Xbox HD?

btw, is there any option to defrag the Xbox's HD and will that be neccessary at all?

you don't need to defrag the hard-drive. To play the games off it, all you need it an .xbe launcher. a program called "EvolutionX" or "boXplorer" can do that.
