    Hi, I was just wondering if an Xbox can be modded with just a CD. My friend can mod his with the CD but his tsop points(or something) are soldered.
    Thanks

    Yea would need to use an savegame exploit and also have the two solder points on your xbox mobo soldered to allow the TSOP (the onboard bios chip) to be flashed (over written) with a hacked bios.
    Only problem with this, is that if you just enable the chip for writing and flash a hacked bios, you cant easily return the box to the orignal bios.
    But, it seems that most people who really wanna use Xbox Live have already got a 360 so shouldnt matter.
    Google it

    No, as kerbdog stated you need some sort of mod (soft or modchip) to do this.

    You could glue a CD over the xbox jewel on the case, or wedge one into the ventilation slots, or load the dvd tray with a slice of brennan's hi-fibre bran....

    IMPORTANT!! The xbox has to be very hungry before it will accept bread (especially the hi-fibre stuff needed for the mod) so you'll have to starve it of discs for at least a week before attempting that mod. Also, if you have a v1.6 xbox you'll having to put all the clocks in your house into reverse in order to 'trick' the xbox.

    it is possible to mod it using a save game exploit afaik.
    Remember reading it off a modding site only a week ago...
    damnit, where was htat.

    Probably do have to do the little bit of solder thing. best bet is to get a solderless mod chip.

    You can mod using a gamesave exploit, the problem is getting the gamesave onto a memory card in the first place, I've soft modded my own Xbox tho. A PSP in USB mode with a modified cable can be used as an Xbox memory card.
