A tenant in a house I own decided to leave some items behind when he moved out. Luckly, one of them was a modded XBOX.
So, being the type of person I am I bought some new cords and controllers. Plugged it in and off I went.
Here is what I do know or are pretty sure of. It is soft modded using SID 5 Splinter Cell exploit.
It has SID 5.11 Installer USB on it and also XBMC 360 as well as numerous games (ISOs and emulators)
Given it's age is it still possible to update any of the software on it? I don't think that I need to remove the soft mod (probably a bad idea) anyway).
I would like to remove the ISOs and update the emulators. Maybe even install a version of CoinOps.
Thank you in advance for any guidance and my apologies if I posted this question in the wrong area.

Great find
the best I found was an old seperates hi fi and speakers in a house move
Can you see what size HDD is in there ?
Look under system in xbmc
, then after that , do you have a laptop or pc available ? This is so you can ftp to the Xbox .

Re: Given a soft modded XBOX (now what?)
Yes, you should be able to update to the latest version. You seem to know your way around, start having a read through these first before you do anything.
- XBMC360 is probably just a skin, if it looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj63ljw7c2k
- Have a read on XBMC4Xbox Wiki - Installing XBMC to get an idea about how it all works
- [Video Guide] Update XBMC4Xbox Via FTP - one way to update
- Have a read at Rocky's Softmod Kit (keep that on backburner though until I move the thread in Xbox Modding forum for others to respond as well).
- Download the latest version from the forums (look for "Unofficial builds 3.5.1" 1st post or use the plugin in my signature to download directly on your XBOX)
- App(s): XBMC4Xbox Remote for Android | Plugin(s): XBMC4Xbox Installer
- Please donate to XBMC4Xbox project to keep it going, every little helps!

Thank you for the responses.
Yes, I can confirm that XBMC360 is just a skin and thank you for that information.
I am going to do some reading of the other links you provided to make sure I get a better understanding of what I currently have and what direction I want to go.
From my initial look at it Rocky's Softmod Kit is doable from my perspective.
Thanks again.
