Why, I'll be at camp
Pcb way?
nice
We have come so far
That had to be a advertisement img for a product the guy holding the soldering iron by the hot end of it, I about fell outta my damn chair omfg that was great!
at some point in Mexico arcade cabinets went from having a machine with every CPS1,CPS2 and NEO GEO game to having a OG xbox inside with a bunch of games and emulators, being a kid with those around was pretty cool
so they aren't arcades, just libraries of sorts... digital entertainment prostitutes even.
Relatable
Thats facts in yanga they have one with an xbox 360 and i shit you not it was just two games street fighter IV and forgot the other one but i was like wtf street fighter IV in the middle of the street 🤣
I also see those in a few Latino-owned Mom-and-Pop places in nearby Latino neighborhoods here in America.
Dude nowadays in Mexico they have JTAG 360s with modded dashboards and a HDD loaded completely with bootleg games. When I was visiting I played modern warfare, snipers only, 4 way split screen with 3 random kids who absolutely wrecked me. It was like a handmade arcade cabinet with custom themed skin on the modded dash. It was absolutely sick. Then I went next door and bought some high top Air Force Ones for 5 dollars. Truly a free country.
Super Mario 64 was always my favorite game to play on the original Xbox, so glad Nintendo finally decided to start porting their games to other consoles during this generation =)
Lmao same it was my introduction to Mario as a lil kid and so glad my dad gave me his old modded Xbox when the 360 launched, had smw and Mario 64 along with a bunch of other emulated games and regular Xbox games. 10/10 childhood for gaming
The coolest dads always mod their kids' consoles
Too bad we got the bad ending, where Nintendo kept making their games exclusive to their horrible hardware. :|
Alternate reality where Nintendo left the console market and went third-party instead of SEGA
@@jimmythegamer2231took the words right out of my head
Note: For as important as removing the clock capacitor on most Xboxes is, there is one very important detail that needs to be clarified:
You *don't* need to remove it on 1.6 revision Xboxes, and in fact, if you remove it, they'll stop working all together
I learnt that the hard way on my 1.6...
@@xdradt8463 Poor Xbox.
Thanks for this correction. I meant to add it to the pinned comment but I don't think I'm allowed to
By the time of 1.6 they had stopped using those black PowerStor caps, and good riddance. I even worked for a company that had a larger size of those in some old equipment, and they puked juice too. (I saved a few good ones for repairing old Xboxes... on a long wire away from the main board of course.)
What's the point of even having a battery in the console? I never understood the need. Who cares if it does or doesn't tell the time. Pure madness by Microsoft chedderheads.
My best friend has four OG Xbox's, I bring my little 14" component CRT and a case of beer over and we do Halo 2 LAN parties. Feels like 2004!
I’m one of those weirdos that likes physical media still, so I bought a replacement laser on eBay for the disc drive. It was about $20 and only took 30 minutes of work to get it installed. Very little soldering required, just some patience. Great to see the modding community is still going strong with this awesome console!
That's amazing. I might do that for my wii if the disc drive ever goes out. My wii has lasted very long but the disc drive is still going strong.
I might have to do that if my drive goes, I like physical media too. Is soldering hard and risky to someone who doesn’t know a thing about it though?
I also still love physical cds, dvds, and Blu ray disc's also
@@E3T7 Risky yeah, hard no. As long as your hands are steady you should be fine, just make sure you don’t accidentally touch any other joints than the one you’re working on.
I remember couple years ago getting my childhood xbox modded by somebody local to me and it was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. OG Xbox is absolute gold and is very underrated
Just the fact that Half-Life 2 runs on the Xbox at all is freaking crazy considering the console generation that was just before the Xbox. Imagine going from Resident Evil on PS1 to Half-Life 2 in a single console generation... (It's also the very same engine that still runs CS:GO)
Half Life 2 was essentially a next-gen game at heart.
Getting it on the Xbox would be like if you got GTA IV to run on the PS2 & keeping most of the visuals and all of the gameplay features.
It may run poorly but it shouldn't even boot up in the first place.
It has no right being on the Xbox but I'm glad they put it there anyway. Easily the worst way to experience the game, but it's probably the way that somebody played their first playthrough and it brought them over to PC eventually
If it wasn’t for the half life 2 port for Xbox, I wouldn’t have gotten into gaming the same way as I did since my parents never got me a gaming computer
It's crazy, but the source engine is VERY robust. All of the options in the options menu is just a little bit of what the engine can do to make itself run a bit better.
It could probably even run WELL... provided it was completely gutted for performance, but that kind of defeats the point of playing Half-life 2 for the graphics.
I'd argue that PSP is the homebrew king but that could be because I was deep into that scene
PSP, Wii, XBOX, 3DS. all solid as hell
Don't forget the PSvita as well. 🔥👍
@@lolcatWii is the softmod king.
I can crack that thing in my sleep.
Wii is also a homebrew king and vita and 3ds are getting there
I remember homebrewing my buddy's PSP back in middle school lol, throwing ROMs on that proprietary memory stick.
Point to note: that clock capacitor will make the board literally unrepairable because the cap juice causes corrosion very fast. Super important to replace it
iirc this doesn’t apply to later 1.6 revision consoles where they used a different capacitor that doesn’t have as bad of a leaking issues
you can repair the board if the clock cap luckily doesn't leak too bad (if you get the cap in the nick of time), maybe some minor trace repair will have to be done, if it goes past that, it's fucked.
man i'm so lucky my clock cap leaked just enough to corrode its own motherboard connection and stopped there, when i went to remove it there was only one leg connecting it to the motherboard and only a little bit of juiced motherboard
@@Fogolol still clean it up, the remaining yummy juice can eat up other bits of motherboard around it
@@servissop151 yeah i did clean it up using alcohol and a toothbrush, the console works fine. all that i need to do now is get a new DVD drive and fix the power button
My dad had a beefed up xbox with a custom case and 4 harddrives in it back in the day, and pretty much every retro game known to man! N64 emulation was kinda of fishy back then, but everything below it ran flawlessy! He still has it, he's looking to fix that capacitor ASAP.
Make sure the Xbox is a 1.0 through 1.5 model! I made the mistake of not noting that the 1.6 version does not need the capacitor removed, and it will cause issues if it's removed. Google "how to tell which original Xbox version I have" to double check.
@@BringusStudios hows xbox for emulation in 2023 most systems run fullspeed
I'd love to see pics of it, or a video. What was his solution to having 4 hdd's at once? What sizes are they? He may also have some dlc on there that needs archived. On the original MS dashboard, go to his gamesaves and look for green checkmarks or arrows, which indicates dlc. Old xbox's that have been stored since forever have the best chance at finding missing dlc.
@@bomb447sadly don't have physical access to it, haven't for a while. Was pretty cool though. By default it would skip the standard Xbox ui entirely and go to a custom games list, with decorated subcategories (all the sega games had a sonic themed bg, Playstation had symphony of the night music and visuals etc.). The console also had four little buttons on the front for switching which hard drive to use (it'd reboot the console into the selected drive). Could see them through the transparent red case, they looked like pretty standard sized pc hard drives for the era to me.
@Pacca64 it's a farmer xtender. They are very rare and hard to find now days. It should hold 3 hard drives not 4 tho. If he had a red xcm case, this xbox is worth a lot of money now. Rare.
MY DUDE
YOUR EXCELENT CHOICE IN MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS ITS OUTSTANDING
i loved every second of this video keep it up
Ty I've been going a little harder with the audio lately, love to see that it's paying off ✌️
@@BringusStudios that moment when you put the ace attorney music was so spot on
Even though disc media is trash; a fun party trick the xbox has is playing physical Sega CD (genesis addon) discs with a certain homebrew application (possibly just using an emulator. I was modding xboxes in 03-09 and some things are fuzzy.)
This is how i had played alot of my classics without busting out the CD itself.
For ease, nowadays, just emulate the games.. but still a fun party trick
As always, great video!
Fun fact I grew up with a modded Xbox. It's really cool, when you turn it on it always has the red ring of death but it works just fine. It has a disc that allows it to play NES, SNES, and Atari I think
I like the part where there's never another console like the original Xbox.
The Xbox came out when the hardware was just powerful enough to do useful things and yet was simple enough for security to be thoroughly defeated by modders.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who was deathly afraid of the og xbox boot animation and home screen when I was little lol. It feels so alien and other worldly, which I think is why I was so scared of when I was younger, defiantly the best home console ever made though. I have fond memories playing lego star wars and battlefront 2 when I was about 6.
They were selling an OG Xbox for $70? I wish we had deals like that today!
Yeah,it's called eBay
Just got one at goodwill mint condition but the clock capacitor with a duke and another factory controller and all cables with Lego starwars inside it for $60
Buy *For Parts* Xbox Consoles. On ebay for instance I bought a Lot of 5 of them for $60 and only one of them required any real troubleshooting. The BIOS was corrupted on one so I had to bridge some connections to force it to use another bios bank (Yes the older Xboxes had dual bios like modern PCs). The other 4 were just drives not opening and all I had to do was put the belt in hot water to rejuvenate them. If you don't want one to repair the keep an eye on FB Market as I frequently see OG Xboxs going for under $30
Got one that price at a flea market
I think mine was like $80 something and I got 5 controllers with it plus a (really really really bad) monster component cable and original power brick.
This is a certified homebrew moment
HOLY CRAP THAT MADAGASCAR MINIGOLF GAME
You have no idea what you've revealed to me. This is a sequel to the minigolf game in 102 Dalmatians Puppies to the Rescue that I had NO IDEA existed.
1:19: I appreciate the use of “I Am… All of Me” from Shadow the Hedgehog. If you have no idea what I’m talking about then this should jog your memory: “Where’s that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald?”
Got me an XBOX for just being a media center back in 2006, from my side it ever saw just one game, Mech Assault and after that its gigantic for the time 200 GByte harddisk got shoved full of movies i totally ripped from original DVDs i own. :)
Ngl, I want that disc on the thumbnail so bad lmao
Would be a fun novelty product
@@BringusStudios indeed
Man this intro story is like me getting to upgrade to a SNES from a 2600 or from that SNES to a PS1 because of the PS2 release...
I'm aging...
i remember going from the ds to the pc
I had just upgraded my hdd in my original childhood xbox this week, I’m having a blast
4:40 Lucky me, I had the 1.6 model Xbox growing up.
Which that version requires the clock capacitor (even if it no longer works) in order to turn on.
In this xbox Original's case, it has a gold clock capacitor that doesn't leak. It just swells up at the top of the nob and stays like that.
Still I might one day replace the capacitor with a new one (if I'm feeling bold enough).
Worth it for the experience but not really worth having a working clock cap in modern times lol. Clock cap only keeps time when unplugged for a few hours since to keep time it has to keep the processor awake (hence why its a capacitor and not a coin cell). Also when soft or hard modded it no longer asks you for the time and just syncs with the network
@@hiRyan329329
1.6 Xbox NEED the clock capacitor to boot.
And not everybody will install a bios that doesn't need it, v1.6 is different.
@@GoldSrc_ I never said to remove it. My comment was stating that replacing the clock cap is worth it for the soldering experience. Even if the 1.6 cap goes bad and doesn't keep time it maintains the bridge at least to boot, you just can't take it out as both you can the original commenter stated above.
The PS2 had a pretty good scene as well. Modern consoles are just specialized PCs or phones nowadays, so it's not nearly as interesting to hack at those.
The ps2 scene didnt really kick off until the ps4 was almost out though
The original Xbox IS a specialized PC though, just from its time
The original Xbox was actually architecturally closer to a PC than modern consoles.
A "PC" must implement things like a PIT and a PIC, and modern consoles, while being x86-based, do not implement these things.
IIRC the original Xbox implemented the full PC spec per Intel guidelines.
Too right, I loved HD Loader, I still have the original disc
8:27 note if you have the original system boot with softmod , YOU NEED A DVD DRIVE for the system to boot or you gonna meet a boot error screen , mine the dvd drive was dead and just put a regular dvd pcb work fine for me and can boot on unleashed perfectly
Not anymore! The endgame exploit allows you to softmod your Xbox without the DVD drive
So everyone keeps mentioning the various issues plaguing the original Xbox, but I don't know if my brother and I were lucky, but the only issues we encountered with our old console was 3 controller ports no longer working and some games being unreadable. Other than that, it still works really well. Though recently we bought a crystal limited edition OG Xbox from a local retro store and it feels like it's brand new.
OG Xbox was pretty much bulletproof comped to the 360. thomson dvd drives were the weak point
@@senna6547 So Thomson must be a terrible disc drive brand I guess?
@@SweetCauchemar it wasnt terrible, and I think the sammy drives had more issues
@@senna6547 Aah okay! 🙂
This was my early teenage heaven man, I played through almost every SNES game on the Xbox, almost every Genesis game, and then there was Ninja Gaiden Black which makes Dark Souls look like a game for pussies. God what a machine.
Ninja Gaiden was a true evolution for action games. Came out of nowhere and blew everything away.
if Half-Life 1 had gotten an official port to the Xbox it probably would've been able to run with all textures included, I'm saying this because the PS2 and Dreamcast can run Half-Life 1.
Yeah, definitely
I wonder if the dev compressed the textures any compared to the original PC version? If not, compressing would do wonders
@@ToaderTheToad yeah it probably would benefit from some compression
Even after I got a 360, the OG XBOX just has some magic to it. It was just so fun to play. Don't even know why.
Years latter? STill have 3 of them, and need to get rid of at least 2 of them. Along with my 360.
I don't really play games anymore. And I'm still trying to find the ultimate way to experience Grand Turismo 2 under emulation with all the mods you can do today.
Sad thing is? Even if I built my ultimate Xbox OG? I think it would get little use. Most of my memories were playing games with my family. That's long over. Oh well.
Damn that one hits home. Been wanting to wire up a USB port to the front of the case on mine but I'd have to sacrifice port 4, and I've been telling myself "but what about when I wanna play 4 player games?", as if that's going to happen ever again
😢😢😢😢😢
Reading both these comments hit me right in the feels
Dude i was too old for that Madagascar game but when my younger siblings were playing that mini golf game, I was hooked lol
Modding my Xbox back in the day is some of my best memories.
Optical media is history man. It's been a long road getting from there to here. It belongs in a museum.
Nice to hear someone else besides me say that they don't need to put a 2TB hard drive in their xbox and fill it up with absolutely everything possible. I have a 500GB in mine and it's plenty. Who would want or even have enough time to play through even half of the xbox library?
Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 are always used at the first examples for a console that "can emulate n64" because they always run smoothly when the rest of the n64 library will play at like 8fps. Same for the PSP, Pi Zero, etc
But physical media isn't bad, it's a vibe! Great video by the way.
I love the original Xbox port of Half-Life 2!!
plays at a solid 20fps, still fun nonetheless 🤣
Ok, I don't know if it was intentional, but great X360 joke.
"It's the hot new thing." Red Ring of Death due to overheating issues was going on at that time.
Dear Mr Bringus. Its nice that you took on the challenge of making an Xbox video. I know something about the Xbox, or rather, my Xbox I had that no one has ever touched on before. When I was a teen, I would be really lazy, and turn my Xbox on with a Snooker cue (UK sport device). I found out that if you repeatedly tap, and occasionally jam, the power on button, it would squeal. I used to show my friends. I have never known anyone to touch on this point ever. I have been meaning for a long time to dig it out and go for round 2 (or 38), but as you are an interesting person to watch, I thought I would share my hopefully interesting story.
What the fuck?
I was the same with my 360 i got mine in 2011 for my 6th birthday and i loved it i eventually did upgrade but i never got rid of it i still have it and play it today
My favorite 2000’s console, so happy you made a video
Now that you’ve covered the OG Xbox, I feel like you gotta make a video about the 360. I remember looking into softmodding it back in the day but it just seemed too sketchy. Hearing your take on it would be really interesting, and I’m curious if stuff like Sega Saturn or Dreamcast are playable.
The dreamcast can play burned CDs with no mods 😅
@@absynth8086 I think you responded to the wrong comment. I was talking about playing Saturn or Dreamcast games on the Xbox 360.
You don't softmod the XBOX 360 (unless something changed) you flash firmware to the DVD drive and it's super easy to do. The 360 can easily play Saturn or Dreamcast ;but flashing firmware to the DVD drive doesn't allow unsigned code, you have to JTAG the 360 to do that ;but is well worth doing if you can find a moddable console.
The original xbox is strange,
Its 23 years old, but i still love both Examples of mine,
Somebody modded the arse off mine back in the day, it says 2004 was the last proper use
3:49 hey I've had that drive!
Psa do not use conductive glue unless you want a broken xbox. Had a terrible experience when modding one years ago. But the Xbox is still a beast in emulation and I'm always happy to own one.
I got a used old Xbox for Christmas somewhere around 2007-2008. I still have it. Somewhere, I think I moved it up to the attic a few years back. The memories of that thing..
You forgot about Cerbios, XBMC4Gamers, XBMC Emustation, Insignia, XLinkKai and some more also you might be using an old build of Half Life X, the 64 MB version has working textures. You can also upgrade your 1.6 revision's Xbox's ram aswell.
Also Optical Media shouldn't be tossed, it's the last physical media we have that can be manufactured cheaply on a large scale, because we're all heading to the "every thing is digital and you own nothing" territory.
Can you send a link. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
@@bulazer9448 For what my dude?
@@FR4M3Sharma im sorry for not saying. For the 64mb version of half-lifeX
@@bulazer9448 It's in the hombrew section of downloadables in Xbmc4Gamers.
Love the fact we did an almost identical silver spray job on the xbox. I also has the xicuter 3 mod and lcd. So replaced it with an original.
I feel you on that I grew up with the NES in the 90's then got a N64 after the ps1 came out I never got a ps1 so I rocked the N64 until the ps2 came out got one of them and thought I was playing real life lol everything looked 100000 times better you could do so much more in games so many games had voice getting to see GTA 3 move into the 3D world for the first time was crazy. Sad games and gaming don't hit like that anymore. But I picked up a vita about a month ago and I've been getting that old school feeling about gaming again since modding it.
40seconds bro i feel this so much, i was still hyping the megadrive and 64 in like 2004 hahah, i had no idea what people were into by then, once i got an xbox it was modded for me right away and i still missed so much cuz then i was just oversaturated with games n content
I'm keeping my OG Xbox for life. 👊🏽🔥🇧🇷
My friend and I recapped and softmodded my Xbox a couple years ago. We didn't know about the TSOP method at all. I remember something about getting a key off the original drive (which I know I have backed up) and applying that to the new drive. Maybe it was Chimp? There was no hot swapping involved as I remember though.
PS3 is honestly the best console to mod it’s super simple thanks to multiple years of hard excruciating work done by many talented and experienced individuals
i Shelled out for a 128MB Pre flashed Mainboard that has been properly refurbished so i dont have to ever deal with the Capacitor crap again.... Paired it with a 1TB SSD and a Proper Component to HDMI Adapter and i was amazed at how good some games looked.
If you got a buddy who can solder you should shell out for the Stellar HDMI mod. I've done two of them now (one personal one for friend) and its well... Stellar (its pure digital so its like seeing the game through an emulator running stock res)
can it emulate xbox games?
Unfortunately no, it can play them natively at least!
Imagine
No, but it can run them natively
I’m gonna
Dude is a legend...🤘...bloody hilarious and informative at the same time...Nice one mate..Nice one..
when my dad bought me the original xbox when I was young it took us around 3 months when we accidentally discovered that it had n64 emulator built in 😂😂, that was my first exposure to nintendo and my god it was a traumatic experience going from banjo and kazooie to mario 64, they made me cry at night.
Pop OS sighted! Very nice!
Had no idea Kodi used to be XBMC until you said it and I’m like… that’s why it’s the same 🤦🏻♂️
God, I was never an Xbox kid growing up since I've generally always been a PC gamer. But after playing Morrowind I actually fantasize about wrapping my fingers around a duke pad and experiencing it through the Xbox on a bigass CRT.
Once full linux is usable on the xbox, I want to see a Steam Box
Pretty cool that they give you a Docker image for setting up SMB64. I have a homelab and love Docker but I’ve yet to actually see this use case.
That's a good thumbnail.
Cool now I feel old. Guess ill go yell at some clouds now.
3:34 had me crying LOL
I think someone loved the 360 so much they built a sleeper pc but the case was the housing from I believe the 360 arcade edition
I played on a GameCube from 2o14-2016 early 17 then I played on the 360 until December 2022 slowly over time leaning more and more abt the Xbox and the different consoles and the diff mode;s they had until I got my first Xbox 1 s and I still play my Xbox 360 to this day
My original xbox died a few years ago and I had to replace the 3 power supply capacitors, I checked all the others and they looked fine
I was a MASTER @ XboxHDM; I still have Compressed Eeproms in old server HDDs I just recently found.
My Pimped-out Xbox I made in 2k4 had a 750GiB Hdd Maxxed out; Had Access to an Almost complete US collection lol: Gotta find which Eeprom matches the 750Gig Locked HDD...🤣
Armed with my Dual Pentium 3 Win2k Server I had Everything: (IT Job after HighSchool, RePurposed a Ton of "Old" computers for Games)
Then a Killer Xbox Matching Pentium III 733Mhz MicroTower with 1 Gig Ram & 8x DL-DVD Burner for my On-the-Fly Modding!🔫
I get that discs are outdated but I will continue to fix my disc drive on my original Xbox until it is actually fried I have too many physical games now to want to get rid of them
I love my physical media too, the main thing to take away is there's gonna be a time when the cd fails. Never a bad idea to have em backed up atleast. Just my 2 cents
I used an OG Xbox as a media center for a long time until I jumped onto Plex. I even put in a modchip to install a 1TB hard drive, modified the drive tray to fit the SATA adapter with the full size hard drive.The mod chip was shit, sometimes I had to disconnect it from power and connect it to get the xbox to boot, so I had a pair of wires sticking out the side that were twisted together, and if the chip didn't boot, I undid the wires and twisted them back up. I would.....acquire stuff, FTP it over to the Xbox watch it, and if I liked it, I would put it on DVD eventually.
I got a 4tb cerbios running 93+ platforms on mine it was costly but worth it considering ive got a ps1 cals sic modded with a 2tb runnin a bunch of stuff and a fat ps3 running 1,2,3 and almost complete physical library of ps2 and 3 so thus being said of xbox was the way to go since its got some pretty good titles and a modded jtag 360 and a series X for everything else...
This actually sounds like a lot of fun
My Xbox 1.6 is mostly fine. Clock cap doesn't need to be removed. HDD is fine. Main board is fine. DVD drive belt is fine. However I think I sadly have a rare case of bad resistors on the control board of the DVD drive. It will throw a core 12 error after the boot screen. Sadly I can't find any replacement drive here in europe so my only option would be to take the drive apart and start testing and micro soldering resistors, which sadly I don't have any expertise in or equipment to do it.
I don't even have a Xbox, yet your voice is a nice background for whatever I am doing rn

AHA I get it. you played Pokémon Black and White music in the parts where your recording was in black and white
You don't need to remove the clock capacitor on Xbox v1.6.
But in the event that it's damaged, you have to replace it, not remove it.
"Your Wii U Can Play This (And Much More)" video when
I played heretic many years ago on the original xbox, I played the Quake 1, Quake 2 expansions and the remaster didn't exist at the time.. I also played rise of triad, duke nukem.. I always wanted to play Blood, but apparently they never ported it for xbox...
The Wii easily edges out the Xbox in emulation imo mainly because of its 240p output.
When connected to a CRT it makes NES, SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, etc. look authentic & sharp.
The Xbox is technically better for certain things like N64, but at this point there's much better ways to go about playing stuff like that.
I've never tried native 240p on a CRT with the Wii, been on the to-do list tho. I've heard it's real nice
@@BringusStudios Can confirm it's very good! Most VC games & homebrew emus support it by default.
It makes you feel like you're playing the real thing, especially if you use a NES or SNES Classic controller. Although since it's the Wii the video quality is cleaner compared to certain systems like the Genesis.
You don't need to pull the clock capacitor on the last revision. I believe it version 1.6.
Modded my xbox years ago and recently modded it again with a sata drive and with the new online method called Insignia. To be fair though I can't go back to those graphics anymore, lol.
Also the Rocky5 method is by far the best, why solder when there is no need?
my original xbox is modded since 2006 if i remember, and some time later i paid someone at the time to update and put that first version of the dashboard that imitated the dashboard of the xbox 360... and continues with that version until today, the hd his is the original one has only 10gb...
I always burned the games on dvd and played on it and I keep doing that, and one or another game I copied to the hd with that application on the xbox itself called dvdxbox or something like that.
I want to put a bigger hd, but if possible I just want to clone the old hd to the new one... is that possible?
It was because the OG Xbox that I really found out about emulators and dumping games
LOL i had the same silver paintjob in one of my classic xbox... original xbox is the timeless machine, you can even use google or youtube TODAY with that "2001 gamer pc" that is awesome, and overclocked one can play games and videos on 720p
Someone chucked an Xbox 360 at the IT place I worked at, it had a bad disk drive with some cod game in it. I got it working and everything, but just let it get thrown out without bothering to get the disk drive actually working. Should've kept it.
Also don't use conductive glue, grow some balls and solder because you'll only burn yourself the 8th time you do it when you get cocky and it's way harder to bridge a bunch of gaps and make a mess with molten metal than silver ink, especially since a cheap iron and solder is literally 1/3 the price. Makes for a fun skill and hobby too!
You're likely not going to catch your house on fire with a soldering iron. It doesn't get THAT hot. UNLESS - you have one of those cheap Chinese solder/rework stations. You know, that same Chinese model with 100 different China names. I have personally witnessed one burst into smoke and flames.
Don't know of any good fully homebrew games but Freefall 3050AD is pretty cool. Nuon game with xbox port planned but cancelled fairly late in development. MVG got the source and finished it a few years ago
I got a 1tb. ssd in mine now, which is cool. Pointless since it doesn't really make things load quicker. But it's quiet and way more reliable as long as I don't keep deleting and adding more things to it. Still really cool how that's an option
Try Cerbios
To elaborate on why they're recommending Cerbios, it adds a lot of modern functions to the xbox bios like a much better method of reading the HDD/SSD, it can finally go past the 3tb cap we have been on for a while and supports up to 16tb drives. But the main reason I would also recommend an upgrade to Cerbios for you is that you can properly play XISO files which is essentially all the games getting compressed down to about 1/3 to maybe 1/2 of their size allowing you to fit probably near the entire game library on even your 1tb drive
Also I believe it allows for much faster HDD reading depending on the drive and performance of how your particular Xbox interacts with the IDE ports

PS1 emulation is actually pretty good on Xbox. You just need to use the correct settings for each title. I have a video on my channel showing it in action.
5:47 I remember trying the hotswap method when I was like 15-16, 12+ years ago, this part gave me such nostalgia. Ended up locking the drive and giving up lol. Still have it somewhere, not sure if the drive issue is fixable without a backup image.
I think there's a tool out there to build a new HDD without a pre-modded Xbox nowadays. Never needed it tho
For me the wii u is the best retro emulation console. It's so much easier to softmod as well. Only thing I hate about it is you cant use legit gc controllers for wii games that have gc controller support. Which makes the wii version of maramusa not that great on a wii u lol. Though I guess eventually there will be mods to get every wii game with gc controller support working on a wii u like what we have for brawl or mario kart.
Can we talk about the fact that the Xbox looks amazing with a Black and Silver Two-Tone? I love the transparent xboxs a lot, but daaamn!
Thanks! I don't even remember when I painted it, it was so long ago. Sometimes the regular all black Xboxes look weird to me now since I see this one all the time
@@BringusStudios fair enough, i might steal the idea of painting it silver and black for mine, on top of softmodding it. The silver makes it look a lot more modern which ties into the video well to be honest!
8:15 YOU CAN DO THE HOTSWAP trick on a new pc, you just need an ide to usb converter
I shit you not, I successfully TSOP flashed a 1.4 Xbox in 2017 (twice!) with nothing but two bits of antenna wire, some scotch tape, and my lil fingietips pressing with the might of 14 dragons down on the board to make sure that flash chip was never gonna say "nuh uh."
I did solder that one and a 1.0 in 2020 though, and they both still live glorious lives.
8:51 finally someone that gets my taste in games
Wake tf up, new bringus vid just dropped
