I want to Slimbox my Xbox, but first i need to make it run with the dvd drive unplugged, anyone know how to do that? I've read around a bit, couldn't find to much. Somewhere i read i need to flash it w/ Xecuter 3035 or something, but i don't want to mess up anything, I have a soft modded xbox running unleashed X. Thanks.
i have been trying to so the same thing and what i found was that you can only so it if you have a chip and then in the bios there is a check option with the DVD drive and you just have to uncheck it and that will allow you to use it with out the dvd drive
Yeah, i figured it out too thanks to some help. I don' t know if its worth it yet, maybe when I come across ALOT of free time...lol
Ahh the slimbox project is back. I remember when it was popular on Xbox-Scene, I never actually saw one in person, only various photos. Hate to ruin your hopes, but it cannot be done without a modchip, and if I read correctly you have a softmodded Xbox. Unless you can reflash bios to a softmodded Xbox, however I have not heard of that ever. Basically, the modchip you install has blank presets which you can flash. My Xecuter chip had 4 flashes. You would flash the appropriate bios to your modchip, then set that to boot. Then your Xbox boots without checking for the DVD drive. I also wanted to do this at one point, but my modchip fried my Xbox, which was unopened and in the original packaging from 2003. Talk about a waste of 100$ for a mint Xbox, then another 130 for a modchip and LCD screen, all with intent to make a slim xbox. You should ask if anyone here is selling one before you go wasting money. That is only my speculation. I did come across a bios diagram, easy to read and shows you which biops support no dvd check. Best of luck, enjoy your softmod.
