Do you have an old xbox that you bought years ago and played games on it for all of about 6 weeks? wondering what to do with it? well you could turn it in to a Media Center. that is what I did with mine, not only that you can put a bigger Hard Disk in too.
I have my xbox running with a 250GB HDD, have an F: for Music, Movies, Pictures etc.... and then a G: that I can copy my games on to! saves me having to find the Games when I do decide to play on it.
well if you want to know how its done then I will be posting up some links here as well as writing my on FAQ on how I done it.
one thing it is worth to remember is if you are swapping out your HDD do not bin your old one keep it as it is and put it in a safe place as that will be your fall back option! if you do not have that to fall back on in the event of any failure then you will be up the creek with out a paddal!
Rather than posting a complete guide myself to Hack your xbox I thought I would link you in to the one that I used:
Please note that no one other than your self can be responsible for anything that happens to your xbox
This hack uses the splinter cell game and loads the hack through the game save.
To put it in simple terms these are the basic steps:
- Copy the gamesave on to the action replay
- Copy from the action replay to the xbox using the xbox dash board
- load up splinter cell
- load the game called Linux
- then follow the on screen instructions!
- then once installed load up your new dash board and set the FTP details.
- then get a copy of the XBMC and copy the files across using ftp!
