What You Should Know About Xbox Mods

By Esperanza Witt


Xbox mods are still popular despite the newer machines on the market. Since the modification of games consoles can be difficult, many people choose to send their machines to one of the companies with expertise in the field. If performed incorrectly, DIY modifications can result in damage to the motherboard circuits.

A popular modification involves the installation of coloured LEDs in the game controller ports and another is to change the eject button's colour. These changes are purely for aesthetic purposes, but one which causes the eject button to flash when information is being transferred to or from the hard drive may be useful as it allows the gamer to see when there is any hard drive activity. Other changes to the console include coloured or see-through outer cases.

A more practical modification is the installation of a larger hard drive for greater memory and more storage space. This can also be achieved with multiple drives for one machine. The extra space is useful for saved games as well as for increasing loading times. Without modification, a hard drive is only able to be used with the console that it was made for but drives can be unlocked to make them compatible with other machines.

Some cables can be modified for installation to the hard drive. These cable mods can increase performance speed, making game play and loading faster, by allowing the machine and the drive to communicate more quickly.

Modchips are essential for the use of certain modifications. Like all electronic devices modchips have evolved; from the early versions which needed lots of wiring, to the latest ones which can be fused straight onto the motherboard. These devices disable the built-in restrictions of the machine.

The advantages of modifications are greater memory, and a more spectacular appearance. However, some changes can affect your warranty. Anyone contemplating the use of Xbox mods should consider whether the changes they wish to make are both legal and in keeping with their warranty. Read more about: xbox mods
