    Do you remember all the problems the author had in getting the book out. No one wanted to publish it and look inside an xbox taboo by Microsoft......

    I never modded my system, but the book does cover a lot of general topics in regards to how these things are encrypted and so forth. Good overall reading for anyone interested in electronics in general. Particularly well-suited to those who are looking to undertake a small project like building a supergun arcade system, etc.

    hehe i think i have the same book in german but it looks a little different but it was a nice reading and the author covers the xbox a little deeper then just a 1-2-3 step tutorial on how to put in a mod chip
    some thing like they checked out the bus-system of the xbox i found very interesting maybe you all know your xbox to the last conductive strip on the circuit board :-D

    The author did great detail on the xbox hardware and background on subject matter.
