Title: What a Softmod IS
Post by: Kyla666 (zzk2001) on August 02, 2005, 09:21:22 PM
Ok i'll try in the Best way i Know how to explain what a Softmod is

A softmod is a SoftWare where you install it on to the Xbox HDD and then use a Bios Loader to run the Software Insted of the Xbox's OS With Softmoding you well never need to Open your Xbox (Unless you want a bigger HDD)
and with useing a softmod it's close to 100% idiot proof Just as loog as you Back up C: , E: and the eeprom

C: = your MS dash or (aka) Xbox OS
E: = your Save games
eeprom = Key (well need to Unlock and lock HDD)

things you should Know:

Softmod And a Exploit are the Same thing just dif Name
Now alot Of hard core Modders that Use Modchips will keep saying a Softmod or Exploit is BAD
Thats not even close to the Truth lets compare the Two

Softmods: close to 100% idiot proof Just as loog as you Back up C: , E: and the eeprom

Modchip : One Wrong slip Of a Very Hot soldering Iron And Bye Bye Xbox

Softmod: Even if you did not Backup your C: you can stell get your Xbox Back  (Wow)

Modchip: have to open Xbox then install a chip that May not even work cuz you installed it wrong

Softmod: Takes 10-15mins to install With Krayzie Ndure v1.1 installer

Modchip: Have to go looking for Right Bios to flash

OK i am not going to keep on  Putting  down Modchips Cuz thats not right

Modchips: Easy to install bigger HDD

Softmod: Can Now Boot to Live Safe Dash (aka) Daul boot Live

Modchips: Can be Truned On or Off for Xbox Live  But some chips are getting Bannd

I can go all day with the Ups and Downs with Softmoding And Modchips But it's just a War that No side can win

I hope this has Helped in anyway (update) if need be

Or add Any Info that May help in explaining a Softmod  Plez no Post about Softmods suck or Even Modchips they are Both Very Good tools in the Moding world  remember Most ppl who made Modchips Made Softmods =)

ARE WE STILL TRYING TO ANSWER THIS AGE OLD QUESTION!!!.....

my advice to people new to modding xboxs , JUST DO IT! It will be the best thing that has ever happened to you or your xbox.. especialy when you get xbmc running on that bad boy :)

it is a very simple thing to do (softmod) and the risk of messing up your bOx is very low, i mean you have to try really really hard to sKrew up a softmod (and for those of you whom have skrewed a box up.....
SHAME ON YOU!)

*NO WORRIES... THERES ENOUGH LOVE AROUND THIS PLACE TO GET ANY XBOX RUNNING SOFTLY :)*
