How to Softmod Your Original Xbox (working 2024) 

Now you might be wondering, what's next? How about getting started with some emulation! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M9_3zdtvp-Y.html

The OG Xbox is a classic! Many child hood memories there. The soft mod is dope. I soft modded mine a few years back with the Splinter Cell game.

Once I recap my recent eBay purchase (Xbox), I will be doing this asap! Great video and thank you for sharing it!

god bless you this took me 7 hours to work

OG Xbox is by far the coolest system to mod imo. Good stuff.

Nice bro :D

That futurama theme is badass lol

Thank you so much. and all these skins are so cool. I can finally play games from other regions too. Also can you please make a video on how to transfer music from pc to xbox?

Another great tutorial. The wifi repeater was sooo clutch. I have actually been wondering how I can connect my consoles ethernet, cause my consoles are not close to my router. The repeater doubled the speed of my filezilla transfers vs. being on wifi on my ps3! I have been sitting on a unmodded xbox for sometime and this video was the motivation I needed to get it done, thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial dude, was able to get it done in about 30mins using 007 agent under fire. My next goal is to upgrade the hdd.

I just tried the new Endgame method last week which doesnt even require the Sprinter Cell game or any game or dvd disk at all, just a USB flash drive with some special files on it. It's easier than ever now.

I used an iPod shuffle 4 gen to do this, was the only that works for me

Awesome video i just bought a xbox and successfully modded it thank you i am assuming you can only backup games and not play isos off a separate drive like the playstation 2

I soft modded my original XBox with Splinter Cell back on college but used one tne Actiom Replay memory card kit to get the save files on a memory card. Lost that memory card ages ago so know I can buy an adapter cable is great news. Not sure if my original XBox has succumb to capacitor leakage. It's stick on a box in one of my storage areas and getting to it would be difficult

I had 2 Xbox systems softmodded before but a problem persisted on both of them. One of them, the Crystal Xbox I had for a few years now, got the Error 16 message displayed on screen which is the Date and Time error code and considering the Crystal Xbox was manufactured in 2005, the clock capacitor would need to be taken out so it can bypass that Date and Time screen to the Dashboard. However, I got that Error I think because I tried to reset the Xbox back to default with the MS Dashboard and everything, basically uninstalling the softmod to make it normal again and the Error happened. The other Xbox I had that I softmodded was a 2004 Xbox. The clock capacitor's still in there but I haven't tried resetting the Xbox back to normal or anything, what it had done though last month was that it stopped turning on. I think something happened maybe with the power supply or something relating to it that it wasn't turning on anymore. So soon, I'll be trying to move that motherboard into the Crystal Xbox shell (along with the Hard Drive) cause I know that power supply still works and see if it will turn on. Do you know if there's an easy way of removing the clock capacitor if one hasn't taken a capacitor out of a board before? I'm sure just yanking it out with pliers isn't ideal. And if you're curious, I do have a 2002 Xbox that I use daily with the Chimeric HD cable and I'm keeping that normal (no softmod) so I can play the games just fine.

Nice Video, but how can I change the internal HDD with NKPatcher? 😊

Great video. Can I remove the extras disc iso off my xbox once I am finished? Limited on space until I upgrade the HDD

Do you have a tutorial on how to add Xbox games to the system?

I can’t get the FTP to work with the WiFi repeater I bought off eBay, any ideas?

can i also download mods? or cheats? for games

Just tried it with splinter spell nothing happens freezes

Is this possible to do with a hdd that is giving error 07

Any chance of a video about adding more HD space? Can you do it with an external or does it have to be internal? Thanks!

6:51 does all game files need to be deleted before Transferring the exploit files

First of all, thank you for your work, it must have taken a lot of effort to edit a dense and clear video like this one. Having owned and loved my Dreamcast, I chose the Xbox at the time to escape the Playstation 2 and its new world of mass-market gaming. 25 years later, I can see that I really did make the right choice. If you don't mind, I have a few questions. When it comes to changing hard disk, what are the constraints in terms of size or connection format, and do you know of a clear and precise guide like yours on this video? Second question, I live in France and have a PAL console to modify. You talk about a physical modification to improve the output definition of the video signal, can you tell me more? Again, if you can give me a link to a complete guide, I'd love to have it. Last question, I have another original xbox that I had modified at the time but some game images refuse to launch, I'm running Xecuter 2, is there a special method for certain games? RallySport Challege 2 is a particular problem. Thanks in advance for your help, I hope you'll have a forum to point me in the right direction and congratulations again for a job well done.

Hi again, why can't I change the video display to enable/disable 480p - 720p - 1080i on any types of video standard settings?

I did the exploit (with 007), went for the "I Understand" screens, the console restarted, I removed the disc, light now is orange on console, but instead of loading the new menus, I'm stucked in a black screen... Don't know what to do now.

could I just use a crossover cable from my laptop to my xbox instead of the wifi repeater? The xbox has a ethernet port so Im wondering if it would work

Can I soft mod Japanese Xbox with a Japanese splinter cell game using the same save file 6:32

My xbox doesnt get an ip address when I connect it to ethernet 😔

Can you Softmod without game disc use only flash drive?

is there any reason not to just use an ethernet cable to directly link my computer to the xbox?

Just out of curiosity, by doing this will you still be able to jump on that revamped xbox live? I believe its called "insignia live".

14:36 Goku is that you?

Damn. I literally just sold my copy of splinter cell. And a few other games. I really want to put like 100+ games on my original xbox. All on a usb. I have 2 dozen discs. Halo, Robotech Invasion, Republic Commando Etc. I recently saw my friend did this to his PS2 & i so want it for the xbox. Edit: So Question. Once its modded, can i just put digital copies of any game i want on my xbox? Like I wouldn't need to buy the discs.

I’m so dumb. I’ve done this before but this time I accidentally removed the disk before clicking ok, causing it to restart too soon while in the softmod screen. Now it’s bricked, only will boot to blank gray screen. I can get it to go into splintercell but will freeze 100% after clicking checkpoints. Guess I’m screwed?

Well luckily you can now softmod the xbox without the games for an exploit

Any video or site showing what these skins look like?

This is my first time modding an OG Xbox. How come the USB flash drive you recommend Is 512 MB? I'm not sure how big Xbox OG games are to begin with, but 512 MB is... not a lot. I'm only modding this so I can play games off of a hard drive/flash drive/whatever, because Xbox OG disc drives are notoriously faulty. I would like to have a bunch of games/mods/DLC packs/whatever on one flash drive/hard drive, but like I said, seems like the recommended flash drive doesn't hold a lot.

Does this method work for any version original Xbox

Where's my comment gone @BelowAverageGaming? I edited it, but can't find your reply to me about how you can unzip multiple zips at once as you did. Also, I can't find the correct Splinter Cell on eBay your video asks for "Stealth Action Redefined". The only one mainly for sale is called "Pandora Tomorrow".

هل يمكن تشغيل الألعاب المحروقة على Xbox

Does anyone have nimbus on their Xbox?

will softmod work on a revision 1.0?

can this process works for xbox one x?

is there no way to do this on a mac every video is using a pc

my dvd is bricked :< what are my alternatives?

This tutorial is now out of date, with the new "Endgame" exploit there is no longer a need for exploit games. Just copying the endgame exploit (and the payload) to a compatible USB, then go into the memory card in the Memory section of the dashboard, it will automatically run the tool. Though they haven't put it out for Rocky5 or any other modding tools just yet, the new Xbox Live service, Insignia already makes use of the new exploit EDIT: Rocky5 has been updated with the new exploit

There is an exploit that doesn’t require a game anymore

To soft mate it didn't work and nice one for copying that other guys thumbnails who does these videos blain or whatever his name is wayy better than you 🤣🤣🤣

I'm using a 2GB USB stick but when I get back to the Xbox after placing the files on it, it's still only showing the memory unit and not the saved games
