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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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.

Worth noting, I pointed my OGX to a public SNTP server to fix the time issue without a clock cap 8) I saw the ability to do this in various dashes, but I guess my preference is to always set the time locally. Those caps are like $1 so it's not a big deal. Thought I'd mention 2 other notable HDMI so...

I think it's really cool, but I don't know if I want one at this price point. I mean, it would be nice to have, and of course I like modding consoles. But I don't mind the death grip that my aftermarket pin connector has, And at $50, it's more than an impulse buy for me. I'd have to REALLY want it. ...
