I used to chip original Xbox's WAYYY back when (this site was an incredible resource), but I guess I've been away & out of touch with the mod scene long enough to be considered a noob again. My main driver for chipping was to put in a big hard drive and store my owned games onboard with a launcher to keep from having to carry all the discs around. Tried poking around the various boards to catch up on the latest news, but there's an overwhelming amount of stuff here. 2 primary questions to get started again:
1 - Late in its life, X360 introduced the downloadable games feature but I still have a ton of disc based. I remember at some point certain dashboard updates would patch out ability to do any chipping. From memory, I *think* I have a phat Jasper but I'll have to confirm. Do the latest and greatest chips now work regardless of firmware rev, or is it still limited?
2 - Ditto question for Xone. Every single game I own for it was purchased via M$ download, but I'm interested in possibly chipping for homebrew apps. The "old school" gamer in me would love to be able to play some of my legacy PC RPG's via DOSbox & things like that. Would also be super cool if someone developed an app to run the original Xbox disc games too, although Microsoft themselves may do that since they adopted a built-in X360 emulator.
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to diving back in the mod scene.
