Xbox 360 F.A.Q.
This will be update with time, the x360 modding scene is still an infant. If you have a suggestion then post it.

Are there any Modchips out for the x360?
Short answer, no. As of now, the only mods available for the x360 are DVD Drive firmware hacks. This does not let you play unsigned code.

What are these DVD firmware hacks I keep hearing about?
Hacks have been made to the xbox 360's DVD Drive's firmware. In lemans terms, this hack tells the x360 that the game is being read from an official xbox game disk.

However, only duplicates of an original xbox 360 game disk will play. This hack does not allow unsigned code to run. There will be a tutorial further explaining the process of copying a game disk in the future.

Are games better on an HDtv?
They may display better with a crisper image, but graphically they will look the exact same.

I heard that Xbox 360 Games are region free. Is this true?
Some games have been known to play on both PAl and NTSC systems. Unfortuntaly, this is not true for every games.

I want to backup my 360 Hard-Drive Saves, what do I need?
Well, the x360 HDD is Serial-ATA. If you do not have a Serial socket on your PC's motherboard, you will either have to purchase a Serial PCI card, or USB adapter. After you have connected the drive, you can use software such as Xplorer360 to manage content on the drive.
