Soft modding

Is it possible to soft mod my xbox without the memory card thing for the game saves... also without the games that you need.
Cause I don't have a memory card or any of the required games.

And another question, Where would I get my xbox chipped and how much would it cost to get it chipped?
I live in South East Queensland, Australia.
If that helps.

Thanks people.

To answer the first question, no you need ARMAX, one of the required games, and the softmod game save. As far as where to get your Xbox chipped in Australia, I'm not sure on that one. I came across this page which has a number of installers in OZ and their contact information:

Mod Chip Installation & Repair Australia PS2 Wii Xbox 360

Here are a couple more:

PROFESSIONAL XBOX MODCHIP INSTALLATION - BUY XBOX-INSTALL » Products » XBOX » Modchips » Quantronics Australia Online Store | Wholesale and Retail

xbox mods Sydney xbox mod chips xbox mod chip xbox Melbourne australia

Hackers Hardware Australia for the best in PS2 and Xbox modchips in Australia. Aladdin Advance Xenium Smart-X Xecuter DMS3 xBIT Magic modchips mods Australia

My personal recommendations for a chip are the Xenium Gold, Xecuter 3, or SmartXX. They are very high end chips with a lot of useful features and safeguards. For budget chips, the DuoX series is pretty decent.

To other mods: remember modchips are 100% legal in Australia, no need to close this thread.

I contacted the one from the Sunshine Coast and he said $90AUD for a DUO-X2 GS modchip installed with Evolution-X dashboard and software.

Anyone think that is a fair price? I had a browse on one of the links you gave me(thanks for them) and I came across the Duo-x2 costs $20AUD for it... but you had to install.

Comes out to $83 USD. Well, it seems a bit high, but not unreasonable. Considering how versatile a modded Xbox is, it is definitely worthwhile imo. There are emulators that for almost every system up to the PSX, and Xbox Media Center is amazing, plays video, audio, and image files in virtually every format.

Ohk, Thank you. Also, does it have a on/off switch if I were to use Live? And how certain are you that this chip will work and last a decent life?

Hi, I'm wondering if you do installation of modchips for the Original Xbox.
Regards, Rhys

Sounds good man. If you are comfortable with the guy, I see no reason not to do it. A modded Xbox is still the coolest thing going.

Wow, i am glad i live in the US. The DuoX2 chip i got was like $10. I guess if you include shipping both ways and the install it may come close to $90 so i hope all that is included as well. The dashboards and software are free anyway. All you would need is either AID (Autoinstaller Deluxe or Slayer). Then again mine was done by a friend so i probably got an awesome deal fom mine.
