Pro's & Cons of modifying the Original XBOX. Is the modification of the XBOX system legal? Yes completely.Īre we allowed to talk about piracy and other illegal matters? NO, read the damn forum rules, THIS IS NOT HERE TO ENABLE PIRACY. Otherwise everything else is much the same, use Xplorer 360 to "inject" the files onto the flash drive, copy them over to the xbox hard drive and then load up Splinter Cell or whichever game you're using and load the same game from the hard drive.Well by now some of you will know i am very fond of the big ol' OG I googled for "Splinter Cell soft mod NTSC" and eventually found this site that had the files I needed and a little more detail on which ones to copy onto the flash drive. Secondly, the download link for the softmod installer was no good for me, I think it only has part of what you need.

In the end I used an old 512mb memory card plugged into a USB Card reader and that was detected and erased by the Xbox fine. I found an ancient 128mb flash drive that was detected ok but that was too small for the exploit to copy on to.

I think everything I tried was probably too new (USB 3.0 drives) or too large. Obviously things have changed a little since it was posted but overall this was a good guide.įirstly, I struggled to find a flash drive that would be recognised by the Xbox. Just thought I'd add a comment as I softmodded my original xbox last night and used this guide as a basis. So crack a cold one and throw on something to pass the time (it was Hulu for me :D and yes i am in Canada, but i know a way around that ) ) This will take about 15 minutes or so as the files aren't simply copied, but 'injected' onto the thumbdrive. Now Drag 'N' Drop the four folders inside NTSC to the right hand of the X 360. It will identify the thumbdrive as Partition 0 (the thumbdrive has been formated by the XBox as FatX so your PC will not recognize it on its own). then start X 360 and go to >Drive >Open >Hard Drive or Memory Card. Don't! Install Xplorer 360 to the desktop and as well, extract the NTSC folder within the compressed folder to the desktop as well. when the PC identifies the drive, it will ask if you would like to format it. After this, simply plug that sucker into your computer. Your XBox will say that your thumbdrive is not working correctly and has been erased (i hope you didn't have anything valuable on it!). Make sure your thumbdrive is plugged into the controller or otherwise connected to the XBox. Boot up your Xbox without a game in the drive then go to memory.
