XBOX hack

[Weedguru Higher]

Anybody know anything about the hack/mod to get an Xbox 360 to play burned disks?

hacks void the warranty

so i suggest only doing so if your warranty is already expired

I bought mine used so I guess I don't have a warranty?

if its a year old used then no you dont but do you want to buy another one once you do this? and while hacking can be fun playing online is a mistake cause it will get you system/gt banned

and well if you have alot of gs i wouldnt risk it XD

jcube is right.. hacking your xbox to do that will almost definitely get you banned from xbox live.. EXCEPT there IS a way, it's probably a little too difficult for you though..you have to update your cd drives firmware with one that doesn't detect the specifics of the files, but just reads the disc image

not worth it if you aren't really tech savy

The XBox is my daughters and we don;t have Xbox live...I think she's too young for it really. Was just wondering if I could save some bucks by using burned games

my brother modded his xbox, and it worked fine for him. there is alot of money to save, but if you get the dreaded red ring of death you're screwed. (but since you bought it second hand it might not matter)

Thats kinda what I was thinking...

Is there anything else this mod can screw up?

Or anything I can screw up doing it?

Will it still play 'real' games?

What is a sata port? Do all pc's have that? That's inside the pc on the motherboard right or could it be external?

Assuming I have the right ports, I don't have a cable like that....what exactly do I need?

Connecting the xbox to the PC to do that firmware thing is a one time thing right? Or wrong?

How do I find out what kind of xbox drive I have and what method to use for the mod?

[sugarstalker]

well, assuming you did it right, a modded xbox should be able to play original games. There are people who mod xboxes for a fee, and if you're not 100% sure on how to mod, that might be the best way to go.
