I swore to myslef years ago that i would never buy an xbox soley becasue of my hate for M$. However, in a moment of sheer stupidity i bought an xbxo to play shenmue 2, and a crystal xbxo no less.

Heres the thing, I wanto tbe able to play jap terriitory games without having to open up my machine (mine is a pal machine). I remember reading a while ago that someone had claimed to have cracked the boot strap on the xbox in a similar way to that whcih was done for the dreamcast. It was intended to be used to boot linux i believe.

I was just wondering if there was any more progress made on this boot disc or is ther any way apart from modding my machine to play imports. (im not interested in backups)

Cheers

with Xbox the mod chip is the only way...

some games out there are dual region, JP SF Anniversary Collection & JP DoA Ultimate come to mind. MS leaves that option to the developers
