legally i don't think you can pay anyone to mod your xbox.
i had insidious mod mine when i was at his house...it didn't take too long or look too hard...i was going to do it myself but i lost my action replay and, like you, i'm not knowledgeable about modded xboxes. the best i can do is suggest have a friend do it for you. or wait until someone writes a guide to mod your box in english.

hahahahahha did you just say legally ommg.

yes, you dumb fuc, because if there is a www.illmodyourxboxfor$50.com web site out there, LEGALLY it could be shut down

if you dont own at least 1 xbox dont talk in this thread

"Los Angeles store owner that peddled illegally modified Xboxes sentenced to six months of home detention, ankle bracelet and all"


thats prob the most un badass thing you could do to get home detention with an ankle bracelet.

i do own a box i traded joker my netbook for his box and 40 bones. and of course he can get somone to mod his box for him and you dont need to go to illmodyourboxyoufuc.com

legally im better.

Don't think they really care anymore. But when they were arresting people who modded box's it made a great intro for my Modtage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Johy-b4v5Xk)! lol.

Millions of 360s recently got banned but they didn't arrent anyone for those. Though they did arrest the kid who uploaded his copy of MW2 to the internet 2 weeks early... so he's fucked.

But yeah I don't think people care about original xbox's anymore, cause I haven't seen any services offering to mod them. Probably cause it's cheaper for people to just mod their own now.

but still. its illegallllll. can one of your friends slahs lan buddies do it? :))))

The hardest part of softmodding an xbox is probably getting the save file from your computer onto your xbox. You can either make or buy a cable that plugs into your xbox controller port and on the other end is USB female connector so you can plug in a usb drive, which needs to be formatted to FATX, and has the special saves on it. Pretty much after you get that save on the xbox and you have the right game its pretty easy to just follow the steps.

Maybe I'm being naive, but how is it illegal to modify a product that I bought and paid for? Yes, it would be illegal for me to own a store that sold them, because of copyright infringement laws (like in the article you linked) but actually modifying something you own does not sound illegal to me.

Now, the downloading, burning and copying of games is a different story and there are laws against it.

i don't know. :)
you can't LEGALLY put nos or other boosters in your car, can you?

[Waffle]

That's the law of the land. Not the car company telling you you can't and then getting pissed and coming after you. :)

There is no law against screwing with the innards of your electronics.

Haha I don't know I just googled it and I had insidious mod mine! I'm clueless but I try to be helpful :)

Okk so I'm really looking forward to lanning these maps more...Red Shift was my favorite.

[n3ac3y]

Thank you waffle, for trying to be logical:
People were modding and trying to make a profit off of it in high volume.

THAT'S what was illegal. Not modding in general.
(here's to wishing meg would stop talking so much about stuff she doesn't understand)

Moving forward though, anyone have an updated status on these maps?

[cOrPsE]

If you wanna drive up to MA ill mod it for you.

i was just trying to help pope-pistol get these maps. no one else posted, so i tried to help. i'm done posting about his maps until they're out, unless i post gameplays/walkthroughs. i was just trying to help people because insidious isnt posting about them as much as some people would like him to. not his fault, he's a busy guy.

Meg, I would be VERY interested in some gameplay or walkthroughs. I think the only thing I've seen of these maps are some screenshots and vague/crappy descriptions.

here you go :)
the walkthroughs are a little long...whatever, i had fun with it.

the maps look better than this. insid told me to compress the video, which messed up the quality.

[DocDeth]

So what is the status on the new maps?

I'm really excited that someone is building new maps. We had a LAN last night and it would be great to have some new maps again.

[Nastadon]

Hopefully very soon...

[meg(an)]

would you guys be interested in some gameplays? i think i capped the games of me and insid v. mudbone on the new maps. if you do i can convert and upload, if not i won't bother.
Mudbone doesn't know the maps, but still it's cool to see how we played it. i think we played everything but double take.

[MudBone]

haha yea...post 'em up. i'd be interested just to see 'em from your perspective. those games were so fun because we didn't run around them in split screen at first to get used to 'em, we just hopped right in and played. that made it awesome because it brought back the unfamiliar feeling of halo that i experienced on day 1 when you have no idea what is going on, where the portals take you, and some rooms look familiar and others are just random. fun stuff... :)

ill post them tomorrow or sat. yeah, i was wondering what it was like for you guys to play them. i'm just starting to get the hang of red shift and hotbox. did we even play levee or doubletake? i don't remember.

but red shift is soooooo awesome. you guys kept on getting stuck in invis area and i was always by ovy.

i'm gonna feel gay posting this cause i was hosting

[meg(an)]

due to popular demand (aka mudbone texting me)...

Red Shift Gameplay!!
mudbone-this was the 2nd red shift game we played, your melees are fucking ridiculous, and i wasn't warmed up.

my shot on the red shift gameplay is HORRIBLE


HOTBOX GAMEPLAY

NOTE: on my host, same night as the Red Shift series, i'm not warmed up & Mudbone and his partner didn't know the map. this is just to give you an idea of the map. also, there's an invisible wall by rocket spawn in this version of the map. i never capped this or the red shift game with the intention of posting it.


Redshift gameplay has had about 1800 views..was that video featured?

[HalasterBlack]

Is there anyway way you can post the hotbox gameplay on somewhere else? Gameroom tends to get very laggy.

[Nastadon]

Yeah there is something about the MLG Gameroom that lags videos after a minute of playing... should youtube those vids! Or Filefront so we can DL.

[FoileR]

the gameroom runs fine for me.. but i've noticed depending on what computer you're on/browser you're using, the buffing time can get real slow... just pause the video and let it load up or something lol

[Nastadon]

Oh videos load in seconds, but after streaming for a few minutes after it's fully buffered the video lags. And eventually gets so glitchy you can't even tell whats happening.

all true, the video literally gets choppy, even on my fios connection

[CYRiX]

For whatever reason gameroom's flash player just disappears for me...maybe I accidently adblocked it. Such a pain...

guess you shoulda got a mac :)

(and not saying that you're gonna make this argument, but someone always does: a mac CAN run XBC... lol)

[meg(an)]

ill upload both to filefront and post the links here

(and not saying that you're gonna make this argument, but someone always does: a mac CAN run XBC... lol)Why would I want to spend $1500 on something I could customize myself on a PC for $500? Plus, gameroom lags on both of my friends MacBooks!

Also, whatever the player is, it's in the blockable features in ABP. I had to disable my player for the gameroom to get the videos to show up.

[Nastadon]

Get Hotbox up to FF yet?

[meg(an)]

Get Hotbox up to FF yet?

ONCE AGAIN, i never capped this with the intention of posting it online...and it's my host...and i'm horrible. but whatever.
