X-Box MediaCenter [mods]

[Joffer]

I am about to buy a X-box, and I also want to mod(ify) it to support "everything". I want the X-Box to replace my (noisy) computer in the livingroom as my new MediaCenter.

I want to:

-Replace internal harddrive with 80/120/200 GB harddisk
-Be able to play DiVX/MP3/VCD/SVCD (Hopefully both from CD and Harddrive)
-Be able to play Original and backup DVD/CD
-Region free (DVD)
-BIOS upgradable (and easy to do)
-Full network function so I can transfeer MP3/DiVX/etc to the box
-ohh.. also play original/backup games

Probably some more too.. but its probably included in the mods like most of the stuff I just said..

What are my options? Which modchip/solution should/do I have to use?

You dont want an XBOX, you want a computer with XBOX built into it

no kidding


You won't be able to do all that stuff (if any of it) currently... sure EVENTUALLY you'll be able to but not at present. There was an article a few months back where an MIT student had hacked the security codes of the Xbox to where it could be made to do some of those things, but he never shared them so all the software and such is still locked.

The only thing a mod chip will do is allow you to play copied games (that you downloaded from the internet) on your Xbox

You can currently use your Xbox to play music from CD or HD

you want a PC with a Xbox like case.

Well.. I guess this wasn't the right forum to ask then.. cuz I know you can do all the stuff I just wrote.. At least there are ppl here in Norway saying they can do it.. (no I can't ask them, i don't know them.. just read it in the news among other places)

I want to:

-Replace internal harddrive with 80/120/200 GB harddisk Not possible, AFAIK
-Be able to play DiVX/MP3/VCD/SVCD (Hopefully both from CD and Harddrive) DiVX isn't possible yet, but there are teams working on software for that
-Be able to play Original and backup DVD/CD Should work fine
-Region free (DVD) Sure it's been done, but I haven't looked into it
-BIOS upgradable (and easy to do) Never looked into it
-Full network function so I can transfeer MP3/DiVX/etc to the box No idea
-ohh.. also play original/backup games The purpose of the things

Probably some more too.. but its probably included in the mods like most of the stuff I just said..
