there is no official vga adapter for the original xbox

there are unofficial ones but they arent common, you can get break-out boxes that handle lots of different inputs and outputs

that is probably your best bet

Im probably going to get it chipped or softmod it cause XMBC would be rather handy indeed, only thing is I aint exactly sure how and what I need etc.

So erm anyone got any ideas ;)

Ive got an executor 2 and its great. Fitted a 120GB drive (easy) and install evolutionx and XBMC which is great. Have used it for the last 5 years to stream from my PC and its been great.

They hard to fit?  And does the Executor stop you from playing with xbox live?

Not a huge issue if it does cause most of the time I cba with multiplayer games, but its always best to be able to do these things just in case.

yes and yes ish...


Ive never fitted a chip I had someone else do it but from the instructions Ive seen and stuff you need to be damn good with a soldering iron.

Xbox live - I believe your ok as long as you fit a switch to turn the chip off and then lock the hard drive back to the orginial settings (there is a program to do this) I think your ok then. People - help me out with this as Im not certain.

That was the situation when I did mine but that was a LONG time ago and things might have changed since then.


Oh - and I have never needed or desired to go on Xbox live. PC for online stuff, Xbox for media center and "Ahem" perfectly legal backups of games I already own...

Ive softmodded quite a few xboxs.

5 mins and no real risk.

I didnt want to open my xbox up and im not all that hot with soldering so it was the much easier choice.

I turned on my xbox for the 1st time in ages the other day (dont use it since i have my 360) because i fancied played some fable while flatmate was using the TV in the living room and when I went to download the patch it told me my xbox was banned from live... Dont remember that happening, must of forgot to disable my chip at some point :(

Oh btw everyone, if you want to see my and rivkid adding switches and new HDD to our Xbox click here. Rivkid wanted to be different and add something new (and v. stylish) to his xbox :P oh and yes there was beer involved.

You can get solderless adapters called the Xapt3r, designed for Xecuter modchips.

Though personally Im going to try the softmod route.
