WARNING: modding your xbox will VOID YOUR WARRANTY and may lead to the CANCELLATION OF YOUR XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT if you attempt to connect to xbox live with a modded xbox.
=================================================
I am still (amazingly) seeing a lot of folks asking about modding their XBox, so I wanted to add some links in one thread so everyone will be able to find them without making a hundred posts, especially in areas that have nothing to do with the XBox versions of the games.
And for the record, you DO NOT need a modchip to mod your XBox. You can do what is called a softmod instead.
1. You need to read these tutorials:

2. To follow along with the above tutorials you will need a download called: Softmod.Installer.Deluxe.v2.0.Xbox-Hq.rar
This rar file contains the files you need. In addition, you will need a game that has a linux installer on it.
To locate Softmod.Installer.Deluxe.v2.0.Xbox-Hq.rar you will have to either Google for it, or use xbins to download. Here's a tutorial for xbins:

(You may be able to find it on a newsgroup too. Just search for it on one of the XBox newsgroups.)

READ THE TUTORIALS FIRST!!! (I really cannot stress this enough.)
If you come back and post a message about something that is covered in the tutorials, then that only shows me that you have not read the tutorials and I will be less inclined to assist you. I took the time to read the tutorials, so should you.
Modding your XBox should not be rushed, and it's not that hard. I did it, so can you. But you have to do a little research and reading first or you will seriously mess up your XBox!

To all of the other XBox modders: feel free to add in what I am sure I forgot to cover ;)

FOR YOUR INFORMATION #1: Model files will not work on the XBox. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. They just won't - no matter what someone else may tell you. Any other files should with a little finagling. But no, model files will not work. Don't even try them. Your XBox will hate you for it. :lol:
FOR YOUR INFORMATION #2: Module files, or any mods that place files outside of the Override folder in your XBox files, won't work. Module mods are those like ORD Mandell (
http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=136575) and outside files are those like wav files, etc...
FOR YOUR INFORMATION #3: the Override folders for KotOR 1 and KotOR 2 for your XBox are:
KotOR 1 - E:/TDATA/4c410003/Override/
KotOR 2 - E:/Games/Star Wars KotOR II (OR SWKotOR II OR Whatever it gets named)/Override
If there isn't an Override folder in either one of these directories to start with, then you will have to create one and FTP it to the XBox.

HTH! :D
