Have you used this feature yet?

The time has come for the girls of Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball to be finally NUDE! No more teasers. Its just stars and hearts right now but hopefully they'll be replaced with the real thing soon :) Great job to all the contributers who made this possible and read this if you want to follow the super long thread. The patch and instructions can be downloaded at the New Uploads category in the Game Saves section. Enjoy!

Your pasting all kinds of things I have already read. Except the nude patch has apparently been updated with real textures. Have you payed that game? The Volleyball sucks but the game is alright. There is a big casino which is a little fun and the graphics are out of this world.

For all you ever need to know about the scene - go to www.xbox-scene.com.

XBMP is one of the coolest pieces of SW ever. It works so well. You mod your box yet?

Best Homebrew:
XBMP (although relax has problems)
XsnesX
boXplorer
evoX (obviously)
xcopy (not great but necessary for any modded box)

With these only you would have a crankin system.

MAME works pretty well, but has a few problems. I can't play a bunch of the new games with the Xbox's measily 64MB.

XsnesX is the only emu that supports state saving. (How can you emu without) And it is slick! Great Emu.

It's been low on my list though, since I've been so busy with my PC stuff. I don't even really have enough time for that. SUXOR

Once you read about the endless posibilities of a modded box, youll be adjusting that priority.

I'm...

... quite aware of the nearly endless possibilities of a modded x-box, but the thing is, I can do them all better with my PCs. The X-box is a toy, or at best a simple tool. I do like the idea of having all my cartoons in the living room, and all the other nifty bits, but it's really not that important to me, especially with the way I'm already set up. Also, with a few exceptions, I enjoy PC games much more than X-BOX games. I still plan to get a mod chip for my trusty x-BoX, but it still doesn't rank high. I also want to build something tiny based on one of those micro ITX VIA boards. Probably the top-o-the-line 933 with 5.1 audio. I would get one of those NLX notebook dvd/cdr combo drives, make a tiny-tiny little aluminium {[(TEE HEE)]} (I spelled it Brit style) case, and have instant movie, cartoon, 2D game, device in about one eighth the size of the X-box. Just a thought.

Well today I modded Beeephs XBOX. Damn D0 is small. Went pretty well execept for a few minor setbacks.

Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2003 5:31 am

Yes D0 was a major bitch. Did you do the top or bottom? I did the bottom (after trying the top 4 or 5 times the bottom proved considerably easier) and then taped it down. Is beeeph's a version 1 or 1.1 (1.1 has no solder so you can use the pin adapter without a solder sucker). You used an X2 right?

What's wrong? Little beeephy can't mod his own Xbox??? :D

Hey, I soldered red wire #3 while I was drunk AND stoned....beeeotch! And red 3 aint no walk in the park neither. Then kev forced me to let him do the rest...cuz he likes to solder...not because I was doing a bad job......but because he likes to solder

I did the D0 on the top. I did it twice, it fell off the first time. The seccond time was solid, i could even yank on it.

Beeephs was a 1.1, but it had the solder points filled. Some of the 1.1's are like that.

The problem we ran into was the HD jumper. I was told to use cable select, but it turned out to need to be on master. What brand of HD did you use? We used a maxtor, and it locked as easy as pie. Did you get your HD to lock?

Mine is a WD1200BB. Can't remember how I set the jumper now, but it worked first try. Did you use "xhdprepa"?

No I didn't lock my hdd. There isn't really any reason too, especially if you don't wire a switch (did you wire a switch?). I guess there is a program out now called "configmagic" that will do it automatically anyway. Let me know if you see that, I haven't gone looking for xbox software updates in a long time.

My biggest problem now is that I don't have a TV in my new place. So I probably won't be playing too much xbox here for a while. Sucks too because I want to finish Chronotrigger - but I have been playing it on XsnesX. errr :evil:

No we didnt put in a switch, but beeeph might do that later.

I used Slayers EvoX autoinstaller, worked pretty good.

No you didn't...

... Isonews guy. They totally made an example of him. Can you believe the sentence they stuck to him for selling items that people can modify their own hardware with? That is absolutely insane. Imagine you were some x-box chip selling dork-type-guy and they drop you in the pen. Yikes. :shifty: I imagine you'd look like this icon.

Pshhh....

Hey monkeys...

Just put the new X2 bios on my modchip.

Now with no HD size restriction, so I'm getting the full 160GB

Pretty cool eh?

Right on. I am rockin along on v4981.06 myself. Only got a 120GB. Unfortunatley I haven't had much time for xbox goodness of late. Good to see this thread come back though.

Everyone on here with a modded box is using MAMEoX right? How great is that software? Along with that and XPort's emus the xbox is the ultimate set top video game machine!! bwaahahahahaha!!

Hey I forgot to mention...

I got a sony 8x -/+ DVD writer!

Muhahahahaha.

I havnt really spent much time with the mame on xbox. From what I saw at beeephs, it looked like it ran out of memory on every game. Doesnt the xbox have like 32 megs or somthing lame like that.

Nice work on the DVDRW. I am sure that is being well enjoyed.

MAMEoX (very different form MAME-X) does run out of memory on a dozen or so of the newer NeoGeo ROMs (da box has 64MB which I think it shares a chunk of with the video subsystem) but MAMEoX tells you which ROMs it does not support for less forehead slapping frustration. However, Kawa-X does play some of the newer NeoGeo games (Metal Slug 5, etc.). I have not yet tried it with Landmaker, the one game that notably does not play in MAMEoX.

Interestingly enough, while I was looking for the above pic I found this.

Apparently Landmaker was released for Playstation as well!! Well then, if I can find that ROM then I can play it on XPort's awesome PCSXbox.

Gueux DVD Player by Yoshihiro

This is supposed to be a multi-region no dongle required DVD player for the Xbox, and it supposedly supports the Remote, unlike DVDX.

It has remote support, but it's horrible.

Play is enter, and arrow left/right are back/forward chapters. There are buttons on the remote that should do that( |< / >| ). 90% of the remote is not used, and there are features on the controller not implemented on the remote.

Better, but not by much.

Waah!! That is awesome! $60 for the bezel though.

This cool little mini switch will be coming out soon as well.
