Hi,
Anyone know of anywhere UK where I can get a modchip.
Its just that my steel battalion disk is getting a little scuffed and I
want to run it from hard disk before it gives up the ghost and results
in a rather expensive joystick

You could get the disc descratched for £2 at Gamestation etc

Otherwise you could just softmod the xbox for free.

Hi,
Yep, the problem with disc repairs is that they are not always
successful. I've had the odd one where the centre hole edge cracked
which fubars the disc.

I'll have a look around for doing a softmod. I guess xbox live isn't an
issue for old consoles now at least

Given the price of 2nd hand xbox's I'll see if I can get one to
experiment on.

Thanks

Strugging to find a complete torrent available. I guess its just the age
of xboxes that its hard to find the right software. I guess I'll just
hunt around until I can find a premodded one

Google xbins, you can get an auto connect piece of software, they may
have it on the irc chan server.
