Nice job.  This is next on my list.  I have 2 modded Xboxes from way back when (both have MAME).  My first has a mod chip and a 200GB HDD.  The second is soft modded with the original smaller hard drive.  Which mod did you use for yours?  If you used the soft mod method, did everything fit?

Again, nice!

Also, forgot to mention.  Do you have any footage of any trackball games working with the tankstick mod you posted earlier?

it works just like a trackball lol.. sry man had to say it.
Works with centipede and missle command no prob.
the only time its buggy is when you are looking at the list of games and accidently hit it.  it will start scrolling the list slowly even if its not moving.

No prob.  The only reason I asked is because people have been trying to get trackballs (or mice keyboard combos) to work with the Xbox for ages and there's usually issues with it.  Also, by not connecting the yellow wire on the USB do the rest of the controls work on the Tankstick?  If so then what's the yellow one for?

Any input on the which mod you used for your Xbox?

I forget what the yellow was for.  but i know an xbox controller uses true usb. 
So just the standard usb wires get used.
I do the mechwarrior/splinter cell exploit then install unleashX . after that i use chimp to do the hard drive.. finally 80 gigs of coinops.
ill try and get a vid of the trackball working.

Yeah, I'm running UnleashX too.  Hmm, it's been a while since I've modded mine.  Haven't heard of chimp.  How easy is that to run?  I used to use Slayer's boot disc to get everything on...
