Dont bother you will just end up f@*$in it up and most of the copied games are bad quality and crash all the time.

hmm, mine is chipped (the old way, with soldering) and all the games i have (dozens) are fine. my mate just chipped his with one that simply plugs into the board, then you have to network the xbox and change the operating system. basically any pc nerd can do it.

just look on google for XBOX CHIP mike, you will find a local chipper with a bit of seaching.


Mine has been chipped for 2 years, never had a problem with a single game, now download games myself and make xbox dvds with them . wouldnt have it any other way.

If a game i download is good, i will buy it. so i can play it on live

as you cannot play xbox live with copied games and the chip turned on



Will cost you about 40-50 quid mike, be sure to ask for the emulators too

Oh, and the solder mods are easy to fit if you're half reasonable with a soldering iron (1 annoying wire, rest are easy).

Real easy to do Mike, I've doen quite a few now and it can be done in about 20mins if you know what you are doing. The hardest bit normally is finding the BIOS code to flash the chip with so that it will run properly. This also means that the chip is upgradable if you buy the right one.

xboxs are fine when chipped properly.

My PS2 is chipped and have had no problems at all and they play everything.

Some chips allow this , a couple don't on certain versions.
Quite a few emulators around too.
