Niode is correct it's not an actual video recording, it just saves data on what happened in the match. When you play something in the theater, the data is fed to the game engine which recreates everything in realtime.

So, the saves are pretty small, just start recording stuff.

It failed because it was released around the same time as Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and the geniuses at Ubi put all the marketing effort towards PoP. Then they got mad when it didn't sell and within weeks it was in the bargain bin.

Yes you're correct the model 1 has the oval buttons, easy to spot and stay away from those.

As for the model 2s there is no reliable way to tell what CD board it has without opening it. Just make sure it has the round buttons and hope for the best.

This guy has got 'em but yea at that price like Niode said it's probably cheaper just to get a new one.

It will run original xbox games, but I think you need to patch them or burn them a special way. They also have to go on a dual layer DVD which is sort of a waste. You won't be playing them off the hard drive like you could with a modded xbox 1. If you're banned from live and don't care about online ...

Unless the modder who worked on your 360 did the JTAG hack or installed a cygnos/similar, he flashed your DVD drive which may or may not have involved an actual mod chip. If it's JTAG'd you don't have to worry about Xbox live for much longer because they can easily see that and will ban you almost i...

Hope you're up for it because the PS2 mod is a doozy. Good luck.

As far as the switches go the first one should be obvious, enable/disable the modchip. If you boot the xbox with the switch set to disable it should work just like an unmodded xbox. Protect/unprotect allows you to prevent the BIOS chips on the modchip from being flashed by accident i.e. you can only...

The question is how handy are you with soldering? If you don't have much soldering experience I wouldn't suggest jumping straight to the PS2 mod. It's no joke and will kick your ass - depending on rev you have to solder to very small pads, vias, and IC legs. Someone else suggested FreeMCBoot which I...

There's a bunch of bad rips of Panzer Dragoon Saga floating around. The one I got that worked perfect came with some kind of md5 or other checksum so you could check each image file. I don't think it was BIN/CUE either. Look around I'm sure you can find it.
