In this instructable I will be trying my best to take out the stress and frustration of many people who want to softmod their original Xbox in the year I found trying some of these other tutorials slightly aggravating because: 1. No one responded to my questions and many other peoples questions as well 3. I hadn't done a softmod before this, and there were many things that the tutorials would assume I knew that, unfortunately, I didn't 4. So, using this instructable I hope to keep the Xbox sofmodders up to date, and also be able to help people out.
Good Luck! Here's a list of things you will need. Many of these items have alternatives, and I'll do my best to list all that I know: 1. As soon as I have time, I will make a instructable on how to make a homemade one, because that's what I did, using an old rockband usb hub from my wii 2. A PC I hope this was obvious with internet connection. The 2A, 2B, etc will be the programs you will want on your computer: Some of them are 30 day trials, so if you aren't planning on soft-modding right away, I would hold off.
An IRC client. An Original Xbox with an updated Dashboard. My Xbox had an old dashboard from being stored up in a box for a while, so I had to borrow a newer game I got Unreal Championship 2 from a friend and then, with or without an internet connection for my xbox, simply "try" and access the multiplayer interface.
It should update for you from there. To check your Microsoft Dashboard model, simply go to settings, system, and let the xbox scroll to the bottom. There should be a in your D: drive if it is up to date. A copy of 1 of these three games: Splinter Cell The Original, it can be a platinum hits version, but make sure its the original game I Went with this one because many say its the most reliable Mech Assault Original Older version of Agent Under Fire 5.
A USB Drive. This one is tricky. There are some drives apparently that do not work with the XBox. I got lucky on my first try, picking up a little SanDisk Cruzer Edge 4 gb Drive that worked great see picture above but most of the lists are really quite out of date in terms of what is actually being sold in today's world.
This part is also a little weird for some. This is simple, Links are provided off this site due to size for this install, and the only long part to this is the copying of files at certain points. I have done this myself and i must say that this was a no-brainer! If you can't get that, the Original Mech Assault, or an Older version of Agent Under Fire, as most of the newer ones will not work. Boot up your Xbox without a game in the drive then go to memory.
Make sure your thumbdrive is plugged into the controller or otherwise connected to the XBox. Your XBox will say that your thumbdrive is not working correctly and has been erased i hope you didn't have anything valuable on it!
After this, simply plug that sucker into your computer. Install Xplorer to the desktop and as well, extract the NTSC folder within the compressed folder to the desktop as well. It will identify the thumbdrive as Partition 0 the thumbdrive has been formated by the XBox as FatX so your PC will not recognize it on its own. This will take about 15 minutes or so as the files aren't simply copied, but 'injected' onto the thumbdrive.
So crack a cold one and throw on something to pass the time it was Hulu for me :D and yes i am in Canada, but i know a way around that ;. Once the Files have completed injecting onto the stick, you can now plug it into the XBox. You will want to access the Memory section of the Dashboard, then select the area where the thumbdrive is recognized in the case of my install, it was Controller One.
Now this will take a while again to copy, so its good to have something to do. This should take about ten minutes blame the USB 1. When this is done, exit all that then remove the thumbdrive. Now load your Game and on to the next step! Ok, no worries the long parts are past us, as the files are now on your hard drive! Boot the Game now hit start to skip past the opening. Go to the Start Game Screen, and select the "Linux" profile.
Anyway, i hope this helps you somewhat.. Enjoy and thanks to Michael Brim for the tutorial and screenshots. Org Official Article. Browse Tutorials. Latest News.

What this mode does is puts the Xbox into a controlled error 16 state. Don't be alarmed!. In this mode every game is loaded under the softmod, what this means is IGR on all retail original games and never needing worry about losing your softmod again, though with my softmod that's a moot point.
