Hey all I have been checking out some videos from

http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/39872/Preview_Xbox_Mods.html

and I am so amazed.. WOW... I WANT.... anyways that stuff seems to be pretty old so I want to see what stuff I should get now and also ask some questions. First all I really want to do is to be able to copy xbox games.

This is what I am thinking about getting so far:
Modchip-----XECUTER 2.6 LITE CE PLUS SOLDERLESS ADAPTER (Is this chip good? I was wanting this one over the Xecuter 3 just because its cheaper, or is the Xecuter 3 really worth it? Also Im not sure which version of xbox I have because I havent checked yet, but I bought it 2 years ago so its probably a newer one, either way the Xecuter 2.6 lite comes in two diffrent connection for 1.6 or 1.5 under)
Dashboard-------From watching the videos at g4tv I like the EvolutionX, or is there somthing better?
Copying program--------Xcommander (also from watching the vids on 4tv)
Harddrive----------Maxtor HD (size undesided, but looking for cheap way or no harddrive at all)

So is this stuff good? or is there better stuff to get? like I heard of Px hddloader and DVD2XBOX, which copying program is the best?


Now for some questions:
-is it posible to copy xbox games with a computer on a DVD disc and if so what do I need to play it on the xbox? because harddrives are pricy and if I can simply burn the discs instead then I would rather do that. So if I burn the games do I just need the mod chip and Evox?
-I want to get the Xbox media center program, so I will probably need Evox for that and then can I run the media off of cds?
- on the chip info page it says, "Preflashed with the Linux FLASHBIOS Cromwell BIOS. There is 2 different BIOS's on this CHIP check both banks especially if you have a v1.6B!!"..... SO what is Linux FLASHBIOS Cromwell BIOS anyways?

here is the link to the ECUTER 2.6 LITE CE MOD CHIP:

So, if I can burn Xbox games onto DVD Discs, does anyone know how to do this? Or is it as simple as creating an ISO file then burning it with nero? also I have seen xbox images on sites like torrentspy, so I can download those and burn them too? THIS MOD CHIP STUFF ROCKS!!!!!

Where can I get EVOX and what is the latest release??????? I have seen it on torrentspy.com but there are no seeders.

Sorry for SOOOOOOO many question but this stuff is really confusing to me. To all those who offer some help, THANKS A TON :)

ALSO I heard of some slayer disc thingy.. is that a program like Xcommander?

Is installing a mod without the solderess adapter hard? Because I can get the same mod chip but without the solderless adapter for $20 Cheaper. And as you can tell I dont like spending alot of my money (I got a expensive Hobby, GUITAR PLAYING so far coast me almost around 2 grand and Im just a 17 year old kid :) with only a stupid paper route.

Mod chip without solderless adapter:

This one also works on all versions of the xbox. Its 3 A.M. right now and I am too sleepy to go out to the garage to check.

ONE MORE THING.. does anyone know a good canadian mod chip store??? I dont like paying Duties.

Hey, I was just lookng around and was reading about soft modding. Is soft moding a good way to go? because I dont really want to buy a new harddrive. Then again I might be able to find a second hand little 30GB HD or something. *$&#*$^*#^ Im so confused And if I softmod I will need to buy a Xbox memory card, probably easier to buy the mod chip.
