PAL Help

In a few days I'm going to China and one of my friends there told me they have Xbox games for $1.50 so I thought I'd load up.

My question is do I have to mod my Xbox in order to play PAL format games? I assume these games are PAL copied versions of originals.

I have never opened my Xbox, I don't know a thing about mod chips, I've never done anything on Xbox Live, I don't want to install a new harddrive or play ROMs, I just want to play these CHEAP games.

Could someone tell me what needs to be done ?

thanks

 

yes you will have to mod the xbox to play PAL games, sorry dude....

 

dont worry you can softmod its easy to do cost hardly anything and no need to open the xbox

it allows you to play backups (copies)

simple done in 5 mins flat and allows pal

 

thanks for the quick responses!

could you link me to a step-by-step thread about softmodding?

Okay, I can do all that--it's rather simple.

Just one last question:

So when I put in the PAL game it will automatically detect it as PAL and switch to play it then?

 

yep it will load like any other normal game...

 

Alright looking at this action replay its like $30

Instead of action replay can I use a XB/USB Memory Cable to transfer the Installer?

Can I also use USB Memory Cable to 'backup' my XBox's harddrive?

I've noticed the USB connectors are cheaper than Action Replay, and well, I'm a cheap person.

 

30 bux is cheap,you can do it the otherways but they are not 100%....
