I will tell you that I know how to hack the hardware and get all the juice. Mainly what we do is turn it into a media center, but it also will allow us to play isos of the games console.
Some things we can do after following this tutorial are:
- Access and view videos, photos, playing music from shared folders on the local network.
- Transferring files from / to the console's hard drive.
- Rip DVDs into a shared folder or hard drive, including movies, games and data.
- Watch videos on Youtube on TV.
- Read news from RSS feeds through Internet.
- View trailers of the movies release on Apple Movie Trailers on TV directly.
- Check the weather is going to do in our city.
- Watch DVD movies on the console without needing the remote (although I've bought according hand for 7 € and the truth is that for the media center seems very interesting)
Required Elements
First of all we will see that we need to perform the procedure, I recommend that you succeed all before so you will avoid anything because Remain stuck in some way because of something you have not you.
- Xbox
- Original Splinter Cell (it can not copied, nor neither Pandora Tomorrow Chaos Theory)
- Action Replay Kit: a memory card and a unit that allows the pc via usb plug, so load the software on the console, I shop online for about 40 €, a bit pricey, but if you open the console is best.
- Crossover cable to connect your PC to your console and load the software once hacked, or router to be able to plug it.
- Software for the process (Softmod.Installer.Deluxe.v2.0.Xbox-Hq.rar)
- XBMC (Xbox Media Center, XBMC-2.0.1-FINAL-FAT-T3CH.rar)
Once we have all that we are able to make the whole process should take no more than twenty minutes. So get to work.
Steps
First, unpack the Softmod.Installer.Deluxe.v2.0.Xbox-Hq.rar. Now we have to copy the files SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.NTSC.Xbox-Hq.zip and SID.Splinter.Cell.v2.0.Xbox-Hq.zip found inside the memory card . To do this we must connect the USB cable to PC and install the Action Replay software Kit
To add we have to drag both files to the paragraph that puts MEMORY CARD. Although only eight megabytes fit both perfectly.
Well now we go to the console, the pc time we have done, then come back with. We connect the memory card into the command section and go to copy files.
One item that cost me a lot, once accedeis to mind, that you copy out the option you have to press "Right", but you only delete menu appears.
Running the exploit
Once you have done and are ready to perform the exploit, so we put the cd that Splinter Cell on the console and into the game. We go to section profiles (profiles in English).
You will find that apart from your profile / s will appear again called Linux (and not). We loaded and then click on "save point" (checkpoints), not in levels (levels). And then when the show begins, the exploit will do what you have to do
This menu will allow us to hack the console, this time even if you do not panic you can even turn it off and save it to continue collecting dust. If you are brave and decide to continue to ignore me then, but first of all we must take precautions, we should make a backup of the original Microsoft dashboard, just for precaution. This "Create MS Backup".
Then click "Install Softmod" which will allow us to run unsigned code on the console, for example games isos. Finally, "Intall UnleashX. The UnleashX is a dashboard, menu for us, as amended allows us to do many wonderful things, basically games, applications, emulators and best of all, red. Now restart the console, and get ready for magic, you should leave the home screen and then your UnleashX menu.
Now we'll configure the network to access the console via ftp to transfer files and so really what interests us is really the XBMC. For this we are going to System-> Setting-> Network.
Well we're close. Only two little things, assure you that in the "FTP server" says "Enable: Yes" then you have to configure the ip and mask according to your network, or if you are going to connect directly to a pc (most common on the other side) then you create a network, putting him 192.168.1.2, 255.255.255.0 and the xbox 192.168.1.3, 255.255.255.0 and ready to pc.
If you do ping 192.168.1.2 from the PC should answer the console. Finally we have to install an FTP client to transfer files. The better question is whether FlashXP, is to pay, but has a demo that allows us to use thirty days, and serves us very well.
For connectors from FlashXP, F8 and write in pulsais ip address 192.168.1.2 and user name and password xbox xbox as long as you have not changed in the console.
You should come out connectors and various partitions of the console. Let E / Apps / and that's where we'll enter the XBMC. Unzip the file XBMC-2.0.1-FINAL-FAT-T3CH.rar, we entered into the folder and see that there are a couple more in and some file, you only need to put XBMC. The transfer to the console, in E / Apps / as mentioned before, in such a way as to E / Apps / XBMC. When finished transfer, reboot the console and re-enter the applications and UnleashX we see that we leave the Xbox Media Center, as option, clicking over and ... tatatatachan !!!!!
We already have the console, ready to give cane for at least 5 more years, and that without that we can play all the games that we go down.
One detail, as I said at the beginning of the article, to benefit the XBMC need to have Internet access. Anyway, even without internet, but having a local network, if we can see the files stored on other pc's easy.
Configuring XBMC is pretty straightforward, so I leave it in your hands, however there are many pages with information on the subject, but that escapes from the reason of this article.
