well u will need it modding yes!! except if its music on the cd then some media brands do work on an un modded xbox, but not many
hardware, u need a modchip, ppl have different opinions on which chip to use but just look around to find one that you want
You will need: 1. A mod chip 2. A downloaded Bios file 3. Dvd-rw or Cd-rw This will allow you to use dvd-rw's to burn games on. Most people however also get a new dashboard (screen that shows up when no CD is in the drive) for their xbox. To get a new dashboard you will also need to find a dashboard file, most commonly used is Evox.
Ta guys, Pain in the ass all this. Why cant things just work! damm piracy provention. How do I trasfer the BIOS onto my Xbox? how much is chip and is it easy to fit?
for the files go to my site: http://www.g4merzo1d.co.uk.tt chips range probs around £15-£45, dunno wat that is in dollars pretty easy to install, but if u cannot solder get sum1 who can!
