Xbox is a true legend of a console!!
One of my favourite consoles still to game on. Xbox and the Dreamcast are two machines that really feel like arcade quality gaming!

Rocky5 is a living legend. He’s still doing so much for the scene it’s ridiculous, the dude doesn’t take a break...even when he says he’s taking a break.

Thank you for the video, the XBMC-Emustation downloader error is due to you building the source and being in the US.

I have fixed this as of 5 mins ago, so there should be no issues building the source and the versioning being done correctly.

"previous owner was a gamer it seems"

> absolutely shocked

You and Mario inspired me to get an OG Xbox when I moved to the states from the UK (left my old one back in England). I'm reliving my childhood and it is amazing how well so many of the games have aged and how smoothly many of the emulators work! Keep spreading the word mate :)

I look at these videos like I'm gonna do it lol.

Excited for your take on the ps4 and 3ds. Keep creating such good content.

This is my absolute favorite console...I wish we had something similar happen with a modern console. I don't know if that OG xbox scene can ever truly be experienced again. When the floodgates blew open on this thing, it was like nothing seen before. I'm so happy to see that development has continued over the years on this little guy and that there have been a lot of really cool developments since then. Don't forget to remove your clock caps everyone! If you see an Xbox in the wild that hasn't been opened, snatch it up - if only to crack it open to remove that damn cap! Save as many of these consoles as you can!

This makes me wanna dig out my old Xbox this brought back a lot of memories for me.
As soon as I heard you say Mech assault I got a big smile on my face

Loved that machine! In 2005 I couldn't afford to build a HTPC, but the XBOX was just $150. I have owned many over the years. Eventually the slow ethernet speeds made me say goodbye, but it warms my heart to know that folks are still getting what they can out of this machine.

I can't explain what's so fun about these old Xboxes. I still mess around with mine from time to time. Installed an SSD a couple months ago, and I can attest to the still-active community - they were there for me when I ran into some noobie problems. Great video as always.

OG xbox is still my favourite modded console of all time. It just feels so good. Wii is pretty good too, you can get a wii with a broken disc drive and make it work ( with iso on usb) with just an sd card. I technically got mine and modded it for free using an sd card from an old camera.

[offperception]

I'm only guessing but the reason why it performs so well despite being so old, is due to the fact it has a dedicated GPU that handles a lot that the CPU couldn't pull off by itself.

[sabbathtribute]

Absolutely true. I've had one for 10 years plus. Fully loaded with classic console and arcade games. No HDMI, but looks great using component cable. I still like it best overall..better than raspberry pie

After owning an Xbox and having it chipped when I was living overseas, and using it to this day without ever going through any challenges... I finally picked up a spare and Softmodded it following your tips. While there were some hiccups, it works like a charm! Thanks, now I just need to replace the HDD and the fan and it will be better than ever!

Thanks, I really enjoy your videos!

Just like the Commodore 64... The Computer system that wont die.
I am a C64 kid, grew up playing on it, and I see games in 2021 being developed by Home Brewers. It makes me really love that system.
I still have my old C64 and I kept it in pristine condition to this day :)

[MrMario]

BIG LOVE for the shoutout, my dude. Much appreciated!

Also, I know of MechAssault on the Xbox but... MechWarrior? 😁

[MT-fleb]

I remmeber doing this back in high school and customizing the music, sound fx and background... Great console though

[garethreece]

Found a £25 one in a pawn shop the other day and couldn't resist. Still got some games on the shelf from my old one and sorely tempted to give this a try at some point.

Coupla things I just gotta say: I was watching what the tech community did to help out Austin when his house burnt down, and you stepped up, and gave him a lil heads-up he was appreciated. Everything you guys did brought a manly tear to my eye.

Second of it, I got 5 of these original XBoxes, mostly working, so any help in a soft-mod direction would be great, since the modchip scene seems to have died.
And Austin was SO overwhelmed. What you guys did was LEGENDARY :)
