hi everybody

got a chipped xbox a while back (stunning bit of kit - well happy with it) and a load of games to go with it.

now a mate of mine has got well jealous and wants to know how he can play my copied games on his normal xbox (black version - probably 2 years old - not the new crsytal ones). i know of the softmodding method and the chipped ones obviusouly - but wondered if there was a quick method for just playing a few copied games? ie like with pc games - get the game and install a crack. is this possible at all? could he copy the copied game to his hdd and install a crack or would you have to completely chip it/softmod it anyway?

also whats the best way to make copies of copied games? can it be done with nero with a dvd burner? just wondering cos a few of my mates want copies done of my collection?

cheers for any help in advance - its always apprecaited.

happy new year everybody!!

Nope, it has to be modded first.

To copy your games, put the game in the xbox and ftp in. Copy all the contents of the D:\. Use Qwix to create an ISO of the files you dragged over. Use Nero or DVD Decrypter to burn.

As the Games you have are already on Disc and already on copied media you can just use CloneXb to copy them with your PC. And as his xbox is older it would be easy-ish to chip it. I myself prefer chips to soft mod becuase i could never get the damn FTP thing working, and the chip has a swtch and a cool light :01: Its also fun to say to all your mates you opened it up and soldered shit to it.

I have like 20 friends who have brought an xbox and want me to chip it now :lol: every time i burn my own copy of a game i have to burn about 6 other copys for friends :P

thats what i wanted to hear peezy - cheers fella! i was hoping if you had the game on dvd already (like the ones you did me) - you can copy it as easy as a dvd-r movie - will save me a lot of time rather than ftp-ing across to pc.

got the ftp working tho which is cool - just wanted a quicker way of copying games is all. like peezy - i have to do about 20 copies of all my games now!

cheers all

Yes it is true, you have a good drive, he has a shitty drive. Burn it to a dvd disc.

actually ive heard the crytsal xbox is actually far inferior to the black ones. it was basically seen as a way for microsoft to produce the machine cheaper. theres no major differences in the retail versions ie the hardware is the same (hdd, dvd-rom drive etc) - but the motherboard and internal wires and mechs were produced more cheaply.

both versions are still good tho - so pick whichever you like the look or more i spose

then replace the dvd-rom with a better drive - cos the original is a right fussy bastard! and this way you can read xvid cd-rs!
