Help needed withe old chip-moded XBOX
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 12:41 pm
I recently buy a second hand OG XBOX. I don't know the model but I suspect one of the very first since the controller is the first edition ("The Duke").
After inspection I realize that the DVD drive is a Philips one.
Seller ensure me that this is a mod-chipped XBOX. Seller unfortunately can't provide chip type.
When I start the machine, even without holding the ON/OFF button for a few seconds as I read around, I get an EvoX logo (red-pink colour) on the upper right corner.
After that I get the normal MS dashboard.
My main problem now is I can't run games back-ups easily.
I try more than 7 different DVD brands, and only two of them (Maxwell DVD-R, MediaRange DVD+R) are compatible with SOME ISO's, not all iso's.
I burn for example ISO A to a Maxwell DVD and everything runs perfectly, later I burn ISO B but game doesn't run. Try different source ISO, still no success. Try ISO C, everything OK etc. etc.
So what I'm looking for is to get a Custom Dashboard in order to load backups to HD and play that games directly from HD and by-pass the unreliable DVD solution.
Is there any solution?
Can I get Custom Dashboard and If yes how? Where I have to strats? Any basic instructions?
Seller ensure me that Custom Dashboard is not an option, I need soft-mod to get that and since my XBOX is chip-moded is not possible to combine chip-mod & Custom Dashboard at the same time.
Any Ideas?
