Chipped/ flashed X Box 360

[Marky_1979]

Hi guys,

Iv found this site and must admit im very excited at the prospect of having the version of Pro Evo iv dreamt about. Im reading the threads and trying to get to grips with how its all done.

I have an X box 360 and need to know a bit more about this flashing/ chipping process.

I have a few reservations as I have an x box live account and a shed load of games I love playing online if I get my x box flashed does this mean I can no longer play online? will I lose my achievement poins and current x box live functions ie Market place downloadable content etc??

Im not bothered about pirate games all I want is this PES patch I prefer to buy my games and credit the hard work put into the development of these fine titles.

Can you please advise as I dont want to ruine my x box or live access or get banned for life by Mr Gates.

Many thanks

Marky

you can go online with orginal discs but not with backups or you will get banned.

Thank you for the reply in relation to the hard drive flashing can I still play all my original games I take it that once the drive gets flashed it enables back ups to be played on the system.

And once this is done it is the only way to play Pro Evo 2008 with a moddified version of the game with certain elements edited with a patch enbeded in the original games code?

If I wanted to get my hard drive flashed are there places I can send it to be done in the UK? and will getting it flashed mean that one day microsoft will create an update on there firmware like the once recently to counter act it and therefore make my xbox useless?

Still very new to all this and dont want to risk all this just to play a sweet looking Pro Evo dispite how cool it looks.

I'm going to get my 360 flashed as i have 2 now thanks to my original fucking up and having to get a new one for gta 4. luckily i got the 3 red light so Microsoft fixed it up if your looking for a place in the u k to get your 360 modded Google bowlers it's a computer market held every sat in Manchester and they will mod your 360 for ya.

a shit load of my pals got theres done there as for pro evo patched this is a little more complicated involving a lot of ripping swapping adding files ect but theres plenty of threads on the subject and most people will be willing to help.

http://www.computermarkets.co.uk/showlist.html heres a link for that computer market only ever been once myself so if you do go just have a look around ask about someone in there will point you in the right direction.

Mate I live in Derby and noticed on that site that there is a link for Derby. Who do I ask and what do I ask for? Is it a matter of bringing my x box 360 down to a car park market and saying flash my hard drive? Or do I need to go to Manchester?

Plus if I get it flashed will I still be able to use my x box exactly the same as I do now with online downloads and x box market place etc...?

i would think that all the places offer the same services what you'd be better off doing is just going down there to the one nearest to you, the one in manchester is massive there was a stall selling 360's modded before so you'd have to find the 360 stall.

after the 360's flashed you can do every thing as before but you can play backup's just wouldn't chance playing a backup online or microsoft will have ya balls . I'm getting mine done in 2-3 weeks if you can wait till then I'll let you know what the score is if you have to leave your xbox or if they do it there and then and how much it costs.

 

[Marky_1979]

Yes mate that would be great im coming up to Manchester in about 6 weeks or so i could get it done then. If you get a contact name or number that would be helpfull. Cheers

 

[greeny]

will do.

 

[Marky_1979]

Just so I know when are you thinking of going to get it done?

Also does anyone know where to get the altered versions of PES 2008 with all the new faces kits, music and layout? I see that some people have video clips on you tube.

Marky, Ive also been looking into this too, I also live in Derby (off Ashbourne Rd) and really would like to get PES 08 as ive seen it on Youtube.

There is a website for Ghost2fitter that you can contact, Ive not been able to have time to look yet but will let you know all the info.

I think gettin it modded is a straight forward process, its the bit after that with regards to pacthes that sounds very very confusing.

i have got modded xbox 360 and i play online with copied games and i also download stuff from the marketplace and i have not got banned,just when you download copied games you have to check if its stealth patched meaning that the game is suitable to play online without getting banned, you can check if its stealth patched with this following applications osx360 a application for mac osx leopard which can burn 360 games and can check if its stealth or for the pc you can use xdvdmullter,but i prefer osx360 for the mac

ok..sorry to bother you lads, but ive got an xbox with 3 red lights hanging around the house, my wee bro got an elite and i just havent got around to ringing xbox to fix old one

im extremely interested in the prospect of flashing my xbox, i would rather let someone experienced do it, but as i live in the middle of nowhere il have to do it myself

im just wondering once i flash my xbox, and download the patch for pro evo, do i copy the pro evo disc? then burn a copy and put the files onto that disc or do i burn the files straight to original pro evo disc?

also im not sure what patch to go for, if anyone could possibly hook me up with the best available patch, i would be more than grateful.

i would also like to ask people for their advice, is it worth flashing the xbox and patching pro evo? is it easy to do yourself? time consuming?

cheers
