yes you can softmod without an action replay its called hotswapping.

there should be some videos on youtube to take you through the process of hotswapping.if you dont wont to do this either then you should go down the modchip route if you or soemone you know are comfortable with a soldering iron that is.

or maybe someone in your area offers a modding service.

Okay i got it!! I used another modded xbox and loaded the softmod to the xbox mem stick and did the transfer.

So Now I have my new modded box with nothing in it. So How can I start loading the arcade games (coinOps) ect ect. Do I just FTP the box and load the apps strait to it?

yes you just do it by ftp or you can use the dvd drive to burn files onto your xbox with your dashboard file explorer.

I think iI need a newer dashboard. The one I happened to load looks kinda old. It is (Microsoft Evolution X) V+3935

What is a good one to use to make it look like (Arcade Style)Also i dont see " File Explorer" on the xbox menu.

well personally i go with xbox media centre with the rapier skin,i wouldnt call it arcade looking but it looks nice and i set up xbmc to boot straight to the emulators on boot up.

you can use evox to ftp files to your xbox hdd.also there is different skins you can get for evox

I got a NEOGEO MVS-2 at auction for 300.00 mint condition...original monitor and everything

 

 

Then I got one of these...

You need the Xbox to JAMMA adapter at the bottom...Then just wire your speakers through an amp...I made it so everything turns on with a wall switch.

 

Then you get UnleashX dashboard and use the "scrolling wheel" design and make it have all your FBA-XXX roms launch directly with video preview...you can customize further by changing your loading screens to black to give it more arcadey feel...also I took retail games like Capcom Vs. SNK and Marvel Vs. capcom for Xbox and hex edited the Default.xbe so that instead of flashing "Press Start" durring the attract mode it says "Insert Coin"...Its just cosmetic but when the attract mode for these games is running now it looks exactly like the arcade attractt mode!

 

After you get everything set up you can go back into Mameox or FBA-XXX and set it to safety mode so that no one can mess it up...these options were added specifically for us cab owners!
