Ok so im curious is it possible to mod an xBox 360 using a virtual machine of Windows XP in VMware 6.0? So far ive gotten everything to work im just stuck on how to get my VIA card working in the virtual machine.

I believe the card will only be recognized by the natively running OS. I don't think there is an option in VMware settings to allow such a thing as a SATA card.

it should be possible as i remember a few mac users saying they got their console flashed by running xp in bootcamp or whatever it is, so i dont know why you couldnt do it with vmware.

With BootCamp it runs WindowsXP/Vista natively on the hard drive VS. VMWare is a virtual operating system so it probably won't be able to detect devices connected to the PCI slot.

No problem. :)

I know some Mac users running WinXP with bootcamp used USB to SATA I think. I'm not for sure on a actual Mac desktop what SATA chipset it would have.

there has to be some pci sata card for a mac that has the via 6421 chipset you would think.
