I have modded System. .. From there. I'm lost ( I HAVE SEARCHED)

I've searched around on the forum for awhile now and have yet to find the answer I'm looking for.

My roomate bought an xbox awhile back and it is modded.

He nor I know how i was modded. Soft or Hard

Is there a way to tell without cracking open the case.
I know its modded cuz halo 2 is on the hdd in french (um i don't speak french so it wasn't us)

I know is has Evolution X 393 that is all i saw when i start the system without a game in there.

I want to know how to save a game on the HDD. I don't want to copy it, just save it on the hdd so I can play it without having to own the game (friends game).

I've looked around in all the menus and i can't find anywhere to actually click copy.

Any help would be great. Anything you need to know.. ask

 

anyone know?

any info? someone has to have an answer.. cuz i sure don't

 

Get a Slayers disc or AID 3.0, the apps you want to install are on those, the automatically install them to your menu too!

 

Ok.. i only understood like the words.. A and THE.. other than that.. u lost me

i have no idea what im doing. its my roomates xbox, i know how to play games and thats it.. Now im no retard, you explain it to me and i will get it

what are you trying to say to get and why?

 

Well i found out i do have a chip inside the system. I called a friend, tried to help me out, but the only thing he was able to tell me is that..

i have a light on inside my system, so i do have a chip inside

but damn, i can't figure out how to copy the game to the hdd without hookin my computer up

cuz i can't get that to connect

 

Slayers or AID 3.0 are both Xbox boot discs! You can download them via torrents! Get one, I recommend AID and boot it in your xbox. A nice little menu will popup that a 4 year old can comprehend and install away!

 

Go to the EvoX dash, and go to settings or something, and try to see what kind of chip you have. It should say somewhere what is installed to the system. To copy games to the HDD, you will need a program like DVD2Xbox. You can get it in #xbins. Also get an FTP program like FlashFXP. Once you get all of this done, I should be able to help you more.

 

ok man

I have flashfxp dl, the dvd2xbox, and i can't find the chip your looking for.. i looked all over. i kind find bios stuff, but not make of chip

well maybe, at boot up it says xecuter 2 that may be it

halo2 is on there, but there is nothing in apps

i cnt get connect to my xbox, i've got it running thorugh the router, ive tried driectly to my laptop.. nothing

 

OK.. well i finally got into the FlashFXP

now what

 

Yep, Xecuter 2 is your chip! I have one of those in one of my Xboxs!

You need to setup your FTP...

Like I said though, get AID and this entire process will a lot easier. You can then have XBMC too!

 

i looked for the AID on for a torrent, i couldn't find it

what is it .. what is the other one

 

i have the dvd2xbox going onto my xbox (damn taking along time)

but i didn't find any file with a *.xbe or a evox

am i screwd.. can i upload them later or will i have to redo it?

no luck on torrent of the aid

 

In the file of DVD2Xbox, their should be a file that ends in .xbe. That is the DVD2Xbox, program that will be used on the Xbox. Just take the whole DVD2Xbox file from your computer and FTP it over. Did you make a folder in your F:/ like Apps or something? Cause you are going to need to make a folder called Apps in your F:/ drive, and then put the DVD2Xbox in there. Then you can go to your Dashboard, and go to Applications, and it should be right there.

 

ok.. i did a search in the dvdxbox folder i did *.xbe, and nothing came up.

I have a folder on the xbox called apps, i ftp'd the whole folder over (48 mb) and it don't show up on the xbox... do i need to find the xbe file to make it work, if so. where do i find it and put the file at

 

In the DVD2Xbox folder there should be a file named default.xbe. That is the .xbe file that you need. You can't just get that one file by itself, it comes with the DVD2Xbox software. Look for the default.xbe.

 

thanks guys.. i finally figured it out.. not alot of help from replies on here,, but working my way through it from searching my ass off!

but i got the right files and what not. i can't copy a game! sweet, got it to work. thanks

now for bigger hdd

 

Do you want to know how to get a bigger HDD? There is this website:
http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list

It will tell you of different HDD's that are compatable with the Xbox. What I did was went to: http://www.dealdetectives.com and searched for cheap HDD's. I got a 200GB Maxtor HDD, at Staples for 50 bucks. I then checked the website at the top, to see if it was compatable. It was so I just took out the old HDD, and put this one in. I then had to flash it. Once it was flashed, I put a Dash on it, and it works great. And I have a lot of room for stuff.

 

ya.. i was looking around.. i did find that site about compatabilty

but i didn't like whati was finding on installing a new drive..

maybe explain it to me better, or a good tutorial

 

This site gives a tutorial on how to Install a new HDD to the xbox:
