Does anybody even play the old Xbox anymore?

[mfpants50]

I played mine a lot (SNES games mainly) but the DVD drive is now broken and it won't boot.

I don't have $40 for a new drive.

I just sold my modded xbox, and now I'm £100 richer

I play mine everyday, I'm still playing Halo 2.

I got a US version XBOX cheap 'cause they tried to plug it into our 240V system and it doesn't like it. Got a spare Aus PSU from a mate, but never got around to getting a mod chip. Want to get the Xecuter X3, cheapest I've found in Aus is xecuter.com.au for AU$85+$5.20 shipping. Any aussies found it cheaper? All I want is Halo 1 & 2 PAL, just for multiplayer when my gf comes over.

I've already modded the back panel with composite video, L+R audio, PCM coax and toslink digital audio, component + RGBHV through a VGA connector, and a 4way DIP selector switch for the different modes. Screw buying the custom cables

I use it as a XBMC, but anyone knows a way to transfer files faster without opening the XBOX? Cuz FTP is getting very slow. Is it because of the HDD that comes with Xbox?

Try using Avalaunch and SmartFTP. It seems to go faster than XBMC.

i no longer play on the xbox, my main machine is my pc and then the ds, then the wii. i used to use the xbox as a media centre but now I don't and it's just sitting with a few games installed on a 130gb drive with some movies still on there, but it's pretty much redundant now. I kinda game my xbox to my half brother as he likes to play some of the older games

Okay, I just checked Divineo's shipping to Australia, US$11.99 for registered airmail and $59.99 for the X3 kit. With the savings, I was thinking about getting the X3 Pro switch (for US$9.99) to make it look pretty, but the black one is out of stock, only the green and clear crystal ones are there. I'm thinking about getting the clear one, would it look decent on my standard black xBox case? Or would the crystal green one look better?
Anyone need any LM1881 video sync seperators for making xbox-vga adapters/cables? I have four left over.

N64 isn't the best for Xbox, unless someone would like to point me to something that is 90% compatible.

I use the Surreal 64 emulator b5.

Clear would probably look better on a black box as it's see through it won't really stand out , the green would look nasty and stand out too much I think. Gotta say though , why not just softmod it? , this late in the xbox life along with the soft mods being so developed these days , it seems a waste to spend $60 on a chip , when you can achieve the same for free.

I still use mine a lot. Just picked up 6 games for $25

I need to get around to modding it one of these days though.

Softmods have never really interested me, they require purchasing games and memory cards. I like hardwiring things, as you can tell by my custom backpanel.

The X3 just has all the right stuff for me, and probably most people, too.

Yesterday i played Kotor 2 on it....
I still play a snes emulaotrs on it and mega-drive and sometimes MAME , i still prefer playing the xbox as an emulator because i don't have controllers in my pc ,and the xbox is in my room ,so i can play any time i want....
I don't like too the n64 emulaotr for the xbox,but one time i was really wanting to play Paper Mario for n64 ,so i used the xbox and the emulaotr to play ,of course it has some graphics glithes ,but it isn't something too horrible to not be played and i really enjoyed it..

I don't own one yet but recently bought two XBox Games (on a sale)
When I get an XBox I wanna install the Media Center and Emulators too. :-)
(Well for Media I have a showcenter, thats just great combined with a NAS)
