Some of you know I had my old original Xbox die on me a couple weeks ago super disappointed, I had just gotten a nice set of Logitech Xbox controllers green opacity ones, great deal also $40 for the pair, then I purchased an HDMI upscaler to work on my modern TV. The process was a bit more annoying then I could remember it being newer hardware is sometimes tricker with older stuff in the pc realm.
Anyway I had a memory card laying around with Sid5 loaded on it, found my old copy of splinter cell and a original Xbox for like $30 on Mercari (I believe is the name of the buyers app.) Anyway I got to load everything together and come to find out it was missing the installer.
So asking around I learned there was a method to use the original Xbox to female cable. Ordered one of those and without thinking about it I didn't realize memory card support was iffy when it came to this sort of stuff. So all of my memory cards were either too large or wasn't recognized.
After doing more research I came across a way of figuring it out. If you have a psp and a 4GB or lower offical memory card the Xbox will actually recognized it and you'll be able to plug the PSPs usb port into the original Xbox to format the memory card to FatX. Just be sure you have a good working PSP usb cable. I was bummed a little bit that it wasn't reading it as first and thought last second to change it to another usb cable and then magically it worked. The Xbox formatted it quickly and then I was able to load up Xplorer360 and go from there.
So it really was as easy as just transferring two files from the Sid5 installer by selecting the usb installer from the UDATA file and copying them over to the memory card on the psp. Then all you need to do is copy files onto the xboxs hard drive load your exploitable game and bobs your uncle you got a soft modded Xbox.
Now all I need to do is wait on a larger drive to come in and run xboxhdm to usb.
