Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Awesome, dude! Here's my collection so far... https://i.imgur.com/g0a8VlR.jpeg COD Finest Hour is the damn greatest hits version because the seller sent me the wrong copy. They refunded my money and instructed me to keep the game, so that's good I guess. The second copy of MOH Frontline is actually ...

Re: Streaming music

edit: @Ziggy Your mixtape is still in the parent's SUV, and when a screeching millennial autotuned banshee or a horribly annoying commercial with chainsaw noises or bad voice actor in the background comes on, I can just ask if "Ziggy's tape's still there", and the music is agreeable to us...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Haha awesome. I assume I can basically play games from any region and obviously can play burnt games and load them onto the hard drive etc? There are some things that are dependent on the BIOS or the dash. For example, having a hacked BIOS doesn't allow you to FTP, but it allows you to install a cu...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

LOL, congrats! You have a hard modded Xbox, which is more desirable than a soft mod. Evolution X made both a BIOS and a dashboard, so you can have either or both. Looks like you have both. You have "M8" but the latest is M8+. You'd have to look at a change log to see what the difference is...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Awesome! Sounds like you're on the right track. About wiping the HDD, I'm not 100% sure. But I don't think it'll wipe your game saves. I think upgrading the softmod will do just that. When that disc installs the new dash, I'm pretty sure it'll just clean out any old dashboards and install the new one.

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

What is a crossover cable? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/znqZ_8j6342NsVj-a2bHGwQyclNQuwuYogBrL5wP7Rjm-Wi7LH5ozp2CF5sYycG1IBe83EdckAKfbC1fwEbm6xBnkTT3mn63Grnh2aU7L1xi48o_79WUlA With a normal Ethernet cable, each end of the cable is wired the same. E.g. pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and so...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Connecting my Xbox to my router with an ethernet will be a bitch, because it's about 4 miles away from my television. I have no idea how to get it online. I don't understand how to connect to it via FTP (I meddled with that stuff like a decade ago, if not longer, on other devices), and have no idea...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

This EvolutionX crap is shite. There's no options like the default dashboard has. Why the hell did people use it? I know it was an old mod, but this is garbage. People used this basic thing just to add games to the hard drive and pirate them? I've never used EvoX as my main dash before, I've only u...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Awesome! :D Some games probably have other differences between ports, for example the Xbox port of Soul Caliber II has Spawn as an exclusive character (other consoles have their own exclusive character). But just in general, most PS2 games are 480i while most Xbox games are 480p. This wasn't really ...

Re: Streaming music

That's just it. They are not investments. You are paying monthly to rent music. Same as streaming services for movies and TV shows. They can add and remove features and content as much as they want, and happily auto charge you for it each month.
