My First Xbox!!! Now What?!?!

[ajmi982]

WEll I finally got an XBOX. It is sitting next to me in all its glory and is begging me to mod it. I dont know what version it is yet but it is brand new from the store.

I have done LOTS of research and I have NEVER soldered before. Should i get an XBIT? Xecuter 3.0? Solderless adapter? another modchip that I havent mentioned??

this is what I want to do.... I want to watch backed up movies that are on dvd-r, listen to mp3s from HD, upgrade the HD to say 120gb, play video files from HD, play backup games, play games from HD, play emulation games (NES, SNES, GENESIS, PS) from HD, what do i NEED?!?!?!

PLEASE help, im so ready to tackle this and get to it. I have already done most of the above with my PS2 but now it is XBOX time. Looking for help, send some my way.

so... im reading on team executioner's website and they say themselves that the best way to mod is to SOLDER not to buy an adapter when they are talkin about a product they are going to release the Xdapt3r.

So...do i suck it up and try to solder? if i solder, then what is the best chip? what do i need and were do i buy the gun, flux, and yadayada??

sorry to bother, just excited and want to get to work modding.

well, i don't think team x-ecutor comes to these boards at all, so they won't mind.

Anyways, what version xbox do you have?
Soldering is a much better way to go, but if you have never done it before then you might want to practice. The solderless adapters sometimes slip out of place.

However, you can get a solderles adapter and use hotglue to keep it in place. That is probably effective.

More than likely its a 1.6 if its new out of the store..
Don't bother with the solderless adapter, or one of those solderless chips like the spiderchip. They don't have anything nice for 1.6s (due to the change in the lpc port)..

Next give me 100 dollars.. after that practice your soldering.. make a buddy who knows how.. or pay an installer.. I'm not an installer.. just give me 100 dolalrs.

I can't recommend a chip. But Quall is a super baby genius. Listen to him..

Either Smart XX 2 or a duox 2 is a good choice.
