Thread: Any advice on promoting my actual xbox 360

I have covered an actual xbox beginning from side to side a failing hdd, so what I was hoping to be known with is be capable to I set up a larger hdd containing an extra Os say linux so I can use the xbox as a media server just. I may choose not to re-install the actual OS only presently to write in excess of it with linux.

Extra than to substitute the drive you moreover necessitate to set a chip, reflash the original onboard xbox bios. Or you may softmod it, which means functioning with the actual system and loading linux same to an app remember there is simply 64mb ram to play by forget flashplayers/fresh browsers and a custom 766 cpu so answer decide to ever be disappointing.

You element in the expense it really is not worth the consequences, unless you have covered a surplus idle hdd floating approximately and a box 1.0-1.3 which is easy for flashing the on board bios chip. The initial thing you be guessed to do in various event is drop the drive locking information beginning from the eeprom.

I use 12 as a cluster box situate me a home computer with the purpose of sets to facilitate form element by as much power. Extra than then the full in excess off again I have covered and been messing considering beginning from side to side "supercomputers" for rather at the similar time as at present, and apart beginning from the 2 I have covered as media centers in the front room and bedroom it was the most great use I may think of for the spares which came from my business doing repairs and manners a little number of years back.

I even guess most of them make a excellent media center for beneath the television. And they decide to accept network streams as well. The issue most of them are up versus at present is they have been obsolete for ages so the bits and bobs you require to do anything with them have become scarce. If it is a 1.0-1.3 I may go down the TSOP flash road and inaugurate a custom bios straight on the hardware.

I do not believe look so numerous self destruct, distinctively beginning from side to side XBMC as a dash on a locked drive and chips are difficult to get and costly. Extra than than I be capable to buy 2 boxes for. If you have covered a spare ide drive floating approximately and a well before edition or description I may say go for it. Through what they price if you screw it up there really is not anything to lose.
