I know what you mean...... I didn't mean about the mod chips thereselves.....
I'm talking about backing up the game....Since X-Box games are larger than 4.37 gigs they won't fit on a DVD-R....(without ripping)
I know people are copying them now BUT its harder to copy them than it is a PS2 game....
I'm with you on the soldering thing......I'm NOT soldering ANYTHING....Much less 30 joints......
