My GameCube was modded to play US & Japanese games, and to display a different colored LED for whatever region it’s in. I taught myself how to solder when I installed the Afterburner & Stealth Dimmer on my GBA – twice! Once in my original GBA and once after the paint job that I did started rubbing off and I moved it into a new case. Just last month, I spent a few hours swapping hard drives from ReplayTV to PC and vice-versa, essentially upgrading my overall storage capacity in each one. Having an 80-hour ReplayTV is great (it used to store only 40 hours)… and having 200 gigs of storage in my PC is nice, but it’s already filling up fast. 😕
Well, since I’m probably not going to finish building the acoustic guitar that I started last semester (unless somebody reading this buys me a nice set of power & hand tools ;)), now I need something new to mod. Since I have an Xbox, I might as well do that. Using it as a media center is gonna be fun… especially with the ReplayTV to Xbox Media Center streaming capability that I found. 😀 So far, I bought a new 120 gig hard drive for it. Now I just need to get the chip, but the one I want is pretty much sold out everywhere I’ve checked.
When it actually comes time to mod it, I’ll be taking pictures and documenting everything like I usually do. 🙂 More to come later! But if you want some good videos of the inside of an Xbox, just check xboxgeek for some nice tutorials. 😀
