Hey All,

Well, its been 1 whole year since me and n1tro starting modding for the GTA and abroad. God knows how many mods we have done! ;) Just wanted to update this thread to announce a special **FREE** giveaway that we are going to have in appreciation for all our past RFD members who has spread the word about us.

www.mad-mods.com (our site) is going to be giving away ten 10gig Seagate hard drives randomly to anyone who post in our giveaway thread (do a search). The only rule is one entry per username. We'll let the contest go until 3/12/04 so sign up and maybe you'll get something for nothing!! We'll cover the shipping cost of send the HD to you too!

You can upgrade the HDD to any size, a 60 Gigger will do fine.
The Modchip/bois supports all makes and sizes upto 138GB.

Zackweed,
how much you'll charge for the combo (mean including the xBox)
I'm interested to have a linux and entertainment machine.
Would it be possible to have 2 HD (req'd physically swap probably) 1 for linux and the other one for the e-machine
Which Linux have you tried (if any)

I don't have the old premods anymore. I will be selling the new premods at $430 because I will make sure that it has the new samsung dvd drive. These babies read cd-r, cd-rw, dvd-r, dvd+r, while the older ones only reads dvds and "may" be able to read some cd-rws.

As for the HDD swaps, ya, you can swap between the 2 hdds... just have to prep the 2 drives.

I have tried the linux live so far and it works great. I haven't tried the mandrake one yet(don't want to sacarfice my 72GBs)

brought my 80gig and my new xbox over, he modded it without a hitch

i asked questions, he answered them

very professional

we chilled a bit and talked at his house while he modded my xbox

seriously, if u are in the market for a xbox mod, go to him and only him, its cheap, it works and its great

come on, u spend 80bux for this mod and its more than worth the price of 2 games itself

oh yea jimmy, got a friend who is interested in gettin his xbox modded as well now, i told him to email u or add u to his msn

Wow.. that sounds like a wicked deal!
I wonder though, (and forgive me if it's not kosher to ask this here).. where is a good place in T.O. to buy dvd backups? I want to investigate that before I toss down the money for the chip ( although having xbox media player would make it all worth it..! )..

leonk
Mar 20th, 2003, 10:27 AM
I've been looking EVERYWHERE for backups, but alas.. they don't exist.. (Something to do with Microsoft being an north american company.. so just like you will not find Windows XP backups on sale, you won't find game backups on sale).

On the same note, I got a version 1.0 with a phillips drive inside of it, and it's been a PAIN to find compatible DVD-R discs to be used with it!

The only ones that work thus far are 1X Princo and 4X Ritek.. But Ritek too expensive and Princo extremly "bad" discs..

Anyone know where I can buy silver top 1X or 2X Ritek in Markham??

e-mail me: leonki@yahoo.com

Hey there.

Both mod chips have the disable switch to load the original bios.

Therefore you can go and play XBLive.

It should be legal though as long as you don't include the hacked bioses or the evolutionx dashboard since they contain copyrighted code from MS.

First of you shouldn't be thread crapping in other people threads... I see that you are doing it in other peoples as well.
Shame on you!!

Next issue, Mod chips are not illegal in Canada. There is nothing wrong with installing modchips. It's just like adding extra hardware to your computer or modding the dvd burner to burn at 2x instead of one.

Chips are just additional hardware that can enable you to do additional things... like load linux... That is the service that I am offering and there is nothing wrong with that.
Now if the user decides to do something else beyond that, then I cannot control their actions.

look more carefully before falsely accusing people, where else did I thread crap? and yes, the modchips are not illegal but if you include the evox or x2 bios or the evolution X dashboard- they are illegal because they contain copyrighted code from MS.

Maybe a wacky question, but here goes...

Just got a NEW xbox last week, with new (and waaaaaay) better control pad. IF I mod this one, what are the chances that a). something's gonna go wrong requiring warranty service and B). that I can find a place to fix any potential problems since warranty won't cover it. Oh, and c). does the xboxlive switch require drilling into plastic?

Sorry with the late replys, have been busy at work for a few days.

Fish Tank, I guarantee my work. If you worried about warranty issues, although when you get your xbox modded the warranty is voided, but if you didn't know, it only had a 90 day warranty anyways. You can always check out my work from XBOX-SCENE (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act=ST&f=29&t=35267) for a brief overview of the MANY satisfied Customers.

So Mad-Mods are *highly* recommended! It was worth the 40 min drive! There are closer modders, but these guys know their stuff, inside and out.

I've dealt with Duke and he does a great job with all his mods and he's very client friendly. I've brought about 4-5 XBOXes to his office already and all are working great. If you are in the market to get a mod for your xbox, he's definitely the go to guy. :cool:
