Title: Xbox running coinops
Post by: Gogan on March 16, 2012, 09:43:40 AM: Anybody have any experience with running coinops on an original xbox? It's def something I'd like to do, but i suck at all this different emulation stuff. From what I gather, I'd need a modded xbox with a rather large drive.

Is there a specific mod I need to do? I guess I'd be in the market for an xbox as well as the mod to get this done. Any help guys?

A guy at the local flea market has made a living out of these things. He has a booth with a few of them running and you can basically get every game made pre-2000 on it. $100 a pop, I almost bought one a few times.

Last time I was there I told him if he could get DAPHNE running on it, he had a deal.

Of what? Worse-case scenario, you'll brick the Xbox. Which costs you what, $10, $20?
Just read a guide and softmod one. That's the whole point of a softmod, anyone can do it easily without having to actually open up the console and install chips or anything.

I was joking. I'm jus bad at modding and this setup seems all encompassing. I'm on the hunt for an xbox now.

Post by: SignOfZeta on March 17, 2012, 06:11:26 PM: Yeah, just buy one pre-hacked. The OG Xbox is an almost totally f*cking useless machine so most of them that are still operational have been hacked upside down and backwards at this point and they are always for sale. Check Craig's List.
