Hey look, another softmod video! For several years I've been asked to make a softmod tutorial for the Original Xbox, it looks like the time has finally come to create and release one! This modification will not only allow you to preserve your Xbox (allowing you to remove the clock capacitor, back up sensitive files, etc.) but will also unlock access to a whirlwind of upgrades. Some common upgrades being: storage upgrades, emulation, playing your games from the hard drive, XBMC, and much more.

This softmod can be performed without ever taking a screw out of your console! All you need are some modified savegame files, a method to transfer them to the Xbox's hard drive, and a game to utilize the modified gamesaves. This used to commonly be done with an Action Replay and a Xbox Memory Unit, however with that software being a bit of a rarity I thought it would be useful to make a guide utilizing a USB flash drive.

Keep in mind that the Xbox is a bit picky with flash drives. I cannot guarantee compatibility but in short: try to hunt down the smallest, oldest flash drive in your possession. Many flash drives 1 GB or smaller should be fine. With this, Xplorer360, and a Xbox to USB adapter, you can format the flash drive appropriately and transfer the needed gamesaves from your computer to your console! Another solid alternative method I have used is transferring the saves to a Memory Unit via FTP on another modded Xbox, however this tutorial is assuming you only have one, completely stock Xbox available to use.
