I have xbox from 1.1 to 1.6 and alladdin xt to launch Slayers 2.7 to make TSOP. I will try. When I will make TSOP, will the softmod with xbmc remain working or I will have to reinstall it?

Hello, I have a 5 xbox original and only 1 with working DVD drive. Yes, it is a little shame) So, Is there any way to get rid of it? (maybe some sort of resistor like at freeboot 360 without drive to prevent blinking central green light) Cause I want to make a slim mod on few of them but without dvd...
