So, a while ago I attempted to mod my v1.0 xbox with some ram chips I bought off aliexpress. Everything went perfect, but when I went to boot it my xbox fragged( no bridges and full continuity). I removed the chips with a hot air rework station and put the project aside. I then became convinced that my ram was fake after looking at the rather shotty markings on it. So I contacted our residential electronics guru Bad_Ad84. We discussed the occurrence of fake ICs which only furthered my suspicion. I recent bought some new ram chips from a different retailer and installed them. To my glee it worked perfect the first time. So my question is what can I do with 128mb of ram and what games benefit from it?
You can install the Chihiro game Virtual Cop 3 and have some light-gun* action at home not all buttons are mapped so you'll have to resort to using a controller! :'(
Chihiro, MAME, XBMC. The latter two are better run on platforms other than the Xbox these days, so that leaves us with a short list of arcade titles. If I were you I'd probably start with Outrun, which iirc had better textures than the retail version - though I couldn't say wether they were better than on the PC... There's probably a few retail games that now need to swap a bit less, but I doubt the difference will be too great. If that's what you're looking for though, you could also try replacing the HDD with an SSD. edit: oooh yeah, unsurprisingly there's also a stack of prerelease versions of various games around. the debug executables may or may not require the extra ram - in any case, you should now be able to run all of teh betaz. enjoy.
Ghost Squad .........drool , i used to watch the Arcade Machine running in demo mode after work about 10 years ago and it was awesome. When i got the WII version i was quite disappointed , half frame rate and lower res textures.
