The original Xbox is a phenominal little machine.

In this post I will go over my journey of modding my own personal xbox.
|

Feel free to follow along, but this is mostly just a recollection of my journey for the sake of writing it down.

## Softmodding the Xbox
|
||||
There are a couple of directions you can take when it comes to modding the OG Xbox.
|
||||
I will be exclusively *softmodding* mine, as if I were to solder anything that is required for hardmodding it, I would
|
||||
at best brick the console and at worst burn my apartment to the ground.
|
||||
This mod _does_ require purchasing some hardware, namely:
|
||||
|
||||
- **An xbox (male) to USB (female) adapter.**

- An xbox (male) to USB (female) adapter.
|

These are increasingly difficult to find, so if you tend to drag your feet on projects like these (like I tend to)
|
||||
buy it now! Or you might have to make one yourself.

|

- **An older USB stick.**
|
||||
|
||||
The Xbox will reject most modern USB flash drives - it has to be a fairly small one (I used a 4GiB one), and no, you
|
||||
cannot just set the partition sizes to be small, the hardware has to be old.
|
||||
|
||||
- **A DVD burner and some (writable and blank) DVDs.**
|
||||
|
||||
This is mostly just to burn a single DVD with the softmodding tools on it. I think you can buy pre-burned discs, but
|
||||
if you have a DVD burner (generally just a good doohickey to have), it's much easier to just use `xfburn` to burn the
|
||||
disc yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
### Software
|
||||
I am using GNU/Linunx, but all of these are also available on Microsoft Windows - I haven't checked if OSX have these,
|
||||
but I wouldn't be surprised.
