Posted by RandomThis is sorta off topic but my Brother Moded his Xbox and he used to play PS2 Games on his Xbox ROFL.
Posted by LuciferSorry, I only G.od-mod. :(
Posted by NecrololiconYou can mod your xbox for free. Why would anyone buy a chip?

Your brother is a liar. Emulation typically requires a 10:1 rule. The xbox is only a couple hundred megahertz faster than the PS2, certainly not 10:1. PS2 emulators don't exist for the Xbox, and never will.

Sure, you can mod your xbox for free, but the chances of you fucking up the job is 9 to 10.
But yes, it is impossible to play PS2 games on an xbox, not sure about your "10:1 rule," but I'm sure you know what you're talking about, right? :)

Softmods are pretty safe to toy with.
Posted by KoHUhh... no. Not really, actually. I have to be honest, soft mods are incredibly risky, especially if you've never done one before. Trust me, I know. From EXPERIENCE... of friends, family, and my own personal life.

Uhh wait, you're trying to tell me soft mods have a higher chance of breaking your xbox when you can back up the eboot and ef-rom files, and thus if anything goes wrong, completely wipe the harddrive? Opposed to soldering in a chip, which not only costs money, but will permanentaly break your Xbox if you do it incorrectly.
Right, that's logical.
Yes, I do know what I'm talking about regarding emulation rules. 10:1 isn't foolproof, but it's the basis on which almost all emulation runs. People don't try to emulate the PS2 on the PSP because it's nowhere near 10:1.

Who said anything about soldering chips? I just said they're the riskiest method of modding. That's great though, what you said about backing up and wiping the hard drive and stuff... But tell me, how would you exactly would you get the files onto the hard drive if you can't FTP to it?
Yeah, the rest is about the soldering thing were you assumed the only way chips can be installed is by soldering... yada yada yada.
For the rest: Okay.

Uhh, no, I said it's not the riskiest way because soldering is. Even taking in to consideration solder-free chips, soldering is still riskier than soft modding. I have installed soft mods a good forty times, exchanged harddrives and more, and never once had a problem. The only way a soft mod will have problems is if the harddrive does, which chips also rely on.
So considering soft mods only have the problem that chips also have, but without the problem of soldering or chip failure, they are easily the safest mod. I'm not saying they're foolproof, though- idiots are idiots, afterall.
Posted by Skitzo ControlHe's right, KoH, soft-modding is quite a bit safer from other forms of modding, specifically in modding where soldering is involved. Soldering, however, is not the riskiest form of modding. Any form of modding where you let another person take care of the work is the most unsafe, in many ways. They may mess up and you'll just be out of it, never see that person again, or they'll keep it and screw you over, or, they'll do what The Hammer's personal friend Brandon did to Dan:
Brandon modded Dan's Xbox for him. He installed all the proper programs, along with a game and DVD ripper, a media player, and, finally, movies. And, of course, these were college guys, so at least 40 gigs of those movies were porn. After installing all these videos, Brandon decided to play a joke on Dan (since Dan was fairly ignorant of the process and didn't know much about computers or anything to do with an Xbox). Brandon downloaded a video entitled "Splash," which turned out to be about 3 minutes of anime pornographic material with "special splash" shots, and then Brandon made sure that video would play all the way through on every one of Dan's games if he loaded them from his harddrive. Needless to say, everybody else thought it was hilarious, Dan was embarassed, and Brandon came away with a bloody nose.
Posted by KoHI totally forgot about this thread. So...

I don't recall my ever saying anything to do with solder-free chips, everyone knows solder-free is far easier than solder-required chips, this is common knowledge if you have any previous xbox modding history.
What I also don't recall is your replying to my question as to what if something goes wrong in the soft mod and you no longer have access to the hard drive? You came up with a few solutions but none to remedy the almost inevitable situation of where you're stuck with an xbox that doesn't even boot to the bios. How would you fix this then?
Only question here.

Hah, funny story. But I never said that soft modding was safer or more dangerous than soldering. Soldering, in my opinion, is the riskiest method for many reasons. I believe anyone who has done even decent research would concur this.

You have some real memory problems. As I said, soft modding is the SAFEST method, due to my explanation, which you left untouched and then went on about how you never mentioned solder-free chips. Guess what, it's relevant, since I'm showing how even solder-free chips are more risky than soft mods.
I did reply to what to do if you jack up your soft mod, which would require you to be extremely stupid, to begin with. I also explained that all of that can happen in any other mod, thus making soft modding the easiest solution.
9/10 error rate in soft mods is outrageous. I have 0/40, and I've done more than just soft modding. You should probably consider that maybe those nine times are user errors, not software errors.

Well... before you start getting all excited and start screaming because you think that I'm "stupid," you might want to actually review the posts before claiming that I have faulty memory. If you reviewed the posts you would realize the following:
My opinion that soft modding is not the "safest" method is purely that, my opinion. Due to previous experience I have come to hold this opinion so whatever "good" experience you may have had, I'm glad for you, but you're not me and I am not you. And what relevance does your "0/40" hold if you admit that:
[quote]and I've done more than just soft modding.
It just means that you've included possible solder and solder-free mods in that "40" (which I don't even know why you would ever need to mod 40 xboxs unless you were paid to do so), which is irrelevant to your cause due to the fact that since the beginning of this thread you've been talking about how only SOFT MODS are best. Stick with the subject and don't get distracted.
Quoted post: I did reply to what to do if you jack up your soft mod, which would require you to be extremely stupid, to begin with. I also explained that all of that can happen in any other mod, thus making soft modding the easiest solution.
Well, you did reply, this is true. But you didn't reply to my hypothetical situation that I asked about. And yeah... yes you did, you explained that "all of that" can happen in any other mod... but I have no idea how that helps you say that soft modding is the easiest solution.
[quote]9/10 error rate in soft mods is outrageous. I have 0/40, and I've done more than just soft modding. You should probably consider that maybe those nine times are user errors, not software errors.
0/40 is a realistic number if you've already been doing this stuff many times before, but I think you misunderstood my 9/10 statement.
I meant there's a chance of 9/10 that a first timer could screw up his xbox. I know I didn't say "first timer" initially, but then again if you think how this entire argument started... with a newbie at this sort of thing, aka.: first timer, then it might all come together. Anyway, 9/10 chance is not the same as saying "I screwed up my xbox 1 time out of 10."
Bottom line: Maybe soft modding is safe... for you guys. But I myself prefer solder-free chips with a mixture of, I suppose you'd call it, soft modding.
