I know that there are places out there to get tutorials for this, but I figured I'd come to here to ask.
Can anyone post a detail tutorial of what i need(software and hardware wise) and how to softmod and xbox. No harddrive switching or anything, just softmodding it with the 360 looking dashboard(not sure of what it's called). Want to learn how so I can do a couple for my friends b4 Xmas. Before you ask, these are friends who aren't into the "next gen of gaming" one has an Xbox and one has a PS2. I got games and the Big Ass emu discs, I just need to learn to SM.
Thanks in advance :)

well good news, once you softmod your own, softmodding someone elses is a lot easier.
if you lived near me id just hook you up, since i have everything prepped for it already

Heres the tutorial I used

It's pretty straightforward. Warmasters right, I've softmodded quite a few of my friends xbox's since doing my own.

why don't they want a nextgen system but want the look of one? Personally I think thats alittle stupid. But its whatever I know from experience that alot of people can't afford 360s, or they just don't want one since you never know in a year they could release the NEXT BIG THING :O
-
I got bored with my 360 already and sold it. As soon as metal gear solid 4 came out I was like "son of a bitch!"
:D
I probably won't regret selling it till resident evil 5 comes out next year. But then, I'm no fan of first person shooters either.
-
It'd be nice if MGS4 came out for 360
-
Have you gotten to play MGS4 yet? Its freaking gorgeous!
-
it is gorgeous indeed
-
Hahah
It is.... but too much movie watching...
My friends beat it in less than a few days..
And they're usually busy...

That tut was rather long...I thought there was an easier way now. Just have the exploit(and other software) on your memory card and boot it up through one of a couple games(I hear Splinter Cell, and one of the 007 games work) do a couple button presses and boom, soft modded box.....guess I was wrong lol :)
-
It's really not that bad once you get going on it.
Burn the CD,
run the CD,
Hook your PC ribbon to the xbox HD,
finish running the CD,
done.

that all i had to do, but i had a modded xbox to get the files on my memory card already.

no you will regret it when MGS4 is released on the 360.
-
You must be joking dude, theres so many reasons why that probably won't happen. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but damn near.
I've heard MGS4 is right around 50 gigs, so theres a 5 disc 360 game right off the bat. I really doubt it's going to happen.

just like how MGS3 was on teh xbox right?
keep holding on to that dream
-
lol mgs4 wont be on the xbox ;D
-
how do you know?
-
Pretty sure.
-
how do you know?
it being said a thousand times not enough?
not to mention the last....6 or so MG games were exclusive to a single system, counting MGS3S and the expansion to portable ops.
-
I have been softmoding xboxes for quiet some time. Its extremly easy. So is the hd upgrade. Aslong as you backup your eeprom you're fine. I learned everything from www.smdepot.net
-
btw if I were to put a bigger HD into an Xbox, what type do I need to get? I know there are SATA and IDE drives and I think I read somewhere not to go over 200 gb unless I wanna deal with having to partition the drive.
-
IDE, any size (sub 500??? maybe)

from what I read the biggest ps3 game isnt as big as two DL DVDs

eh, heavenly sword is 19 GB
lair was 23 GB
resistance 1 was 17
so actually there are a lot of really big ps3 exclusives

you would need an IDE hard drive (750GB Highest, or 1tb but you would need sata 2 ide connector) And the hard drive has to be compatiable with the xbox here is the site where you can check if its compatiable or not: http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/
If locking = yes that means it will work

if you go above about 130 gigs you will have to partition a G drive, I have a 250 and it works out well, but I know somethings wrong with whatever I did, I have a 120 gig F drive and around a 110 gig G drive. it reads the games off of F drive but not G drive, but I can transfer them from
