These are just USB 1.1 with an extra yellow wire that carries a CMOS level hsync signal for light guns. Because the ports use the older USB protocol, they'll probably be useless for playing video or music directly from a flash device as the 12mbit max data rate is too low when you consider the guaranteed data rate may vary wildly within this range.

Softmodding

TSOP Flashing

HotSwapping

The hot-swap method allows modding via direct access to the Xbox hard-drive and it doesn't require any special hardware or specific Xbox software like "Action Replay". Here's what you will need to softmod with hot-swapping (taken from tutorial here):

  • An xbox
  • Access to your hdd. via hotswapping to a pc.
  • xbox hdm (Used in this guide)
  • Uxe complete (xbins)
  • knowlege with xbins, you are going to need it!!!!!!!

First thing you will want to do is read the 'readme' in UXE complete. Open the support folder in this package. For the sake of confusion, we will ONLY run 71-fonts-install.bat, then nkpatcher-06-install.bat. THIS IS COMPLETLY NECESSARY (note this is different for LARGER HDDs, refer to the readme)

Now open the Linux folder in xbox HDM. You will see a C, and E, folder among others. Open the C: folder and copy all the contents of UXE complete's 'uxe-c-replace' folder. Then open HDM's E folder, and copy UXE Complete's E/ 'root' folder to xbox HDM's E: folder. Now open the xbox HDM folder, and double click 'make-iso-win'. This will create an iso burnable to a cd with DVD DECRYPTOR (or another program that burns isos)

Now you will want to do gain acces to xboxhdm with the xbox hd's hotswapped to the pc. The first thing we will do is hit 1 then enter. You will see a penguin and a bunch of text. assuming you hotswapped correctly, type 'xboxhd'. it will ask you yes or no. and obviously you will say yes. Now its time to rebuild your HDD. If you dont care about your gamesaves or music thats on your hdd, go to 'rebuild xbox hd from scratch' if you do, go to 'rebuild xbox c partition' and after you do go to xbrowser and copy the root file over to the xbox's E:.

Now for the easy part!!!!!! Turn Xbox off, count to 5; turn it back on with no disk in the DVD tray. This should have booted to a black screen with white text. Go to the first option.

Congrats!! you now have a modded xbox. You will be able to copy games, play emulators, run unsigned code, and an endless number of apps.

Game controllers

These are just USB 1.1 with an extra yellow wire that carries a CMOS level hsync signal for light guns. Because the ports use the older USB protocol, they'll probably be useless for playing video or music directly from a flash device as the 12mbit max data rate is too low when you consider the actual data rate may vary wildly within this range.
