Ok well there 2 routes u can take:
1) Hardmodding -- get a modchip and a copy of aid 3.1 and ur set but dont cheap out on the chip cuz u could pay later on.
OR
2) Softmodding -- get a memcard or action replay for the xbox and get the softmod files off of xbins or aideluxe.com and whichever exploit u chose (splintercell, mechassault, or 007 somehting) and the game for that exploit. _________________

Thankyou Robzzombie for responding.
I don't plan on going cheap at all.I checked out both sites you gave me,I am amazed at how much there is available for customizing xbox.I never knew this was so big.I have one single objective here,..to learn what I need to To vamp up this xbox as high as it can go so I can play Elderscrolls lll with as many mods as possible.I want to do this the very best way possible regardless of cost.
Is it possible to load the entire game into a better hard drive so all I have to do is turn on the machine and play?That would be so cool.
I am sorry for being soooo newbie,Its hard to read the threads and not understand what Im reading.If you or someone could give me newbie steps..LOL..please...step 1...step 2...LOL...I am thankful in advance.

well here is how things go , 1 you can softmod it quick and easy less then 10 mins once you have all stuff required
2 you can hard mod it and be able to do everything
now both will give you everyting excep that a chip has a little bit more of a control over things but the most common things can be done on a softmod , such as upgrading the hard drive so you can burn your games and kill loading time watch dvds w/out the remote play classic games such as nes snes n64 sega etc etc and fianly you can have your softmod intact and still beable to play xbox live safely without being banned
theirs alot more stuff that both softmod and chip can do but this is the most common things that are possible evenly on a chip and a softmod
the rest is upto you to decide to go with a quick fast softmod that can almost do as much as a chip can or a complex more time invoment just to have some more stuff to work with on the xbox _________________ |FTP|Useful Links| softmod vs hardmod questions

Thanks XBOXHQ4LIFE for that info.I just got back to my computer.
So..with all that is needed for a good soft mod installed would I be able to burn Elderscrolls lll ( a large game ) to my hard drive and install mods created by the modding community for PC to my xbox?

before being able to fit any big size game and upgrade your hard drive you first just go to gamestop and buy an ar kit ( action replay kit) and 007 auf ( agent under fire) NON platinum edition and then come back to the thread.

nope, mods are not allowed. But you can get either 007 auf, the original Mech Assault, or the 1st splinter cell. Remember wich ever game you get CANNOT be platinum hits, it has to be the originals!
As for your question about playing Elder Scrols, You will probably have to upgrade to a larger hdd, then u will need a program called DVD2XBOX, that will rip it to your hdd and is freeware.
Now im just gonna throw my opinion right on in just because lol.
ok Softmoding is really good and a little unstable, but god for beginners.
A chip is by far the BEST way to go no matter WHO YOU ARE. There are solderless chips uot there so all you have to do is look at a pic and place the wire(s) where they go and ba bam. Plus with the chip its ALOT easier to replac the hdd, basically with a good chip the the Xecuter 3 CE you can straight up put a hdd in WITHOUT getting it ready 1st and formatt it all at the same time.

softmodding is simple as hell too...and so's making the bigger drive...takes about 10 mins longer than chip is all...and has to be lockable
i havent had a problem with my softmod yet... _________________

see youngwolfe theirs several options softmod oviously being the EASIEST and fastest . chip is a bit more hassle even with a soilderless BUT it does pay off after time .... also keep in mind the prices for the chip. _________________ |FTP|Useful Links| softmod vs hardmod questions
