So I'm trying to mod my unupdated original Xbox to play both Xbox games and retro emulate. I have Halo 2 if I need to offline update if the file isn't available, but what do I do next? The hard drive is one of those 50k+ blocks ones (unlocked I've been told). Looking for whether to hard or soft mod for noob.

Any mod will remove your ability to connect to the Xbox service. If you are able to connect with your gamertag, it's going to be the security gateways monitoring just how modified your console is, so that it can be bricked.

My bad I said xbone in the thread title but I meant I'm working on an original xbox.
Aware of that. Moot point because xbl went down for original Xbox 2 years ago. Not sure it it still let's you update, but all game servers went down then. I was just talking about like playing swkotor and stuff if I wasn't emulating. Guessing I'd need to partition or something for what I want to do

I'll be monitoring this thread too since I have an xbox that I'd like to do the same with

Ahhh, I follow.
IIRC, the original Xbox is an Intel Celeron 600 with a modified GeForce MX something, and like 256MB RAM. That'd be cool, good luck.
Also, if you can get ahold of an AMD JTAG device for an Xbox One / Xbox One X, you can unlock the boot loader and install whatever the fuck you want.

Been years since I modded mine, use Ndure and XboxHDM so you can stuff a 250/500GB HDD in there or something.
Huge pain in the ass to get it initially set up, but once it is, XBMC is amazing. 3 second boot, and you can start doing whatever you like. Used it as a network video streamer for years.
