Hello everyone, I am looking for some information and advice on how to approach modding an old xbox 360 that I've come across. I am not familiar with Xbox 360 modding at all, and also seem to have run into a bit of a situation with the DVD drive as well, causing a double whammy, here.
To start, I have an Xbox 360 arcade unit, which appears to be identified as a Jasper according to the Xbox 360 motherboard identification (Power Socket). The current Dashboard is 2.0.15574.0
The Xbox does have a disc drive, however the disc drive not the one that came with the unit. The disc drive in this 360 came from a black first generation Xbox 360 Elite [that RRoD'd]. However, this disc drive has not been properly flashed to work with this arcade 360, and will only play DVDs. I do not have the original disc drive for the arcade to get the information from. The disc drive that came from the Elite is a Hitachi (Ver 0079FL).
So, given the above information, I am not sure what to do with the Xbox 360 unit and could use assistance on what I could do with it. I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered.
-Can I flash this optical drive to work with the arcade 360 unit (without the original disc drive? )
-Would I be able to flash the Xbox itself to play backups from optical drives or external HDDs?
-If I'm unable to do the above or the above two would be too expensive, should I sell the unit for parts, or is it even worth selling? If it is worth selling, where is my best bet?
