Opening up a new old stock original Xbox! Microsoft released the system nearly two decades ago, and with that anniversary coming up I figured it's as good a time as any to set it up and play some games. Plus I needed to check on the clock capacitor, so yeah. OG XBOX TIME.

Saw this on my feed and I'm thinking about making a side table or something out of one.

Thanks for sharing, most definitely going to watch!

I haven't done any homebrewing on the Xbox OG. But i recently took it out and did some emergency surgery to take out the capacitor that can render it completely useless.

I never played the Xbox OG on an HDTV back then. So i connected it via component cables and played Dragon's Lair 3d at 1080p. I was blown away at how well it ran the game.

I recorded the game at 720p but I assure you it was at 1080p.

It’s awesome indeed. OG Xbox and GameCube were my favourites of that generation.

Microsoft knew once they dabbled with the Xbox they had no other choice but continue making consoles, Bill Gates picked up the phone and said “how can we compete with Sony and Nintendo”.

I found out that the only way to transfer saves between two Xboxes is to use a memory card. That is sucky.

I need to transfer saves to this newer model I got a while back.

Are they not softmodded? If so it's only a case of FTP'ing into them and copying the TDATA and UDATA folders.

My 360 elite broke. The disc drive will not read discs.

I just went ahead and bought one of those special edition blue 360 Es on eBay as a replacement. They are actually at a decent price.

They were the last 360s made.

How else would you expect to transfer something between 2 consoles?

Well, I thought there would be something bigger than an 8MB memory card. Maybe the save files are really small. I don't remember.

 

[Krathoon]

Of course, XBox memory cards are $20 now on eBay. Bullshit.

If it's the Xbox 360, go with cloud saves.

Eh? It had more hardware performance and forward-thinking GPU features than either PS2 or even the Gamecube, plus built-in HDD, built-in broadband ethernet, MP3 music rip functionality, etc. Tech-wise and library-wise it's clearly a fantastic system.

I agree overall but it launched nearly two years after PS2 so that's pretty natural.
