What your wanting to do is called "soft-modding," i'm not up on this, so try searching google or these forums, you will get a ton of info on how to do it.
Here's the process I used to soft-mod (software mod) my xbox and it worked flawlessly taking no longer than a half hour. http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=81712 For this process you DO need Action Replay, which you can buy in many places online for around $30 or maybe get lucky on ebay. The rest should all be in that link, hope it helps.
You CAN make an action replay out of your controller, by soldering/wiring a USB to the inside of your controller wires. It's a strenous process. Perhaps you should order an Action Replay online if you don't want to go through the struggle. Otherwise, there's no way you can softmod your xbox.
Don't know if this is the same guy I just answered in a different post or not but.... His xbox will only be used to transfer a savegame file that is needed to get evolution x dashboard running so you can either place files "softmodding" or flash bios "works better" IMO, anyways.. cya
