Thread: Ebay xbox options

I have been looking for a cheap xbox for a while. I just got a working unit from ebay and began exploring my options.

The unit is an arcade with HDMI looked through the drive hole and found white wires. I assume Benq. The dash is 2.0.7371.0 From what I have read, borderline for jtag, and I would have to read the first bit of the nand to find out for sure.

Here is the Issue, I had planned on just flashing the firmware on the xbox that I got. I dont really feel comfortable with my soldering skills for this project. I could practice but I'm not really sure its worth it for me, due to how I play.

The xbox for me, is just to "run people over" in gta4. and a few shooters, but I have never played online.

Does anybody think I am making a mistake by flashing the drive without taking the extra step to see if i could jtag it>

I have seen the few lists of what you can add with the jtag. Mame/emulators..... I have a standup cabinet I built for that. the only thing that is making think twice about it is the possibility of XBMC coming to the 360. Will it happen ???? I just dont know.
