How to Softmod Your Original Xbox with a Flash Drive | Rocky5 Xbox Softmodding Tool USB Tutorial

Time to revisit Xbox softmod installations! This tutorial has been updated from my previous one to utilize Xbox Softmodding Tool by Rocky5, without a doubt the best softmodding package out there. Xbox Softmodding Tool cleans up a lot of the backend processes, fixes what many previous softmods did not do correctly, and is by far the most stable, easy to use, and feature rich softmod setup out there! 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 tutorial also involves burning a Extras Disc DVD which I absolutely recommend doing, but it is completely optional.

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.
