b) The original version of 007: Agent Under Fire or the Platinum Hits AUF with the Serial #: 1448517 (NOT 1448527)

The SID files for some apparent reason ALWAYS select NTSC as the default, regardless of what you select! Anyway, both Slayers and AID contain a program called 'Enigma Video Switcher'. Use this to correctly set the region. You will need to select the wrong one, then the correct one for it to accept the changes! I have added the 'Enigma Video Switcher' boot CD to the Software page (found at the top of this page), simply download, burn to disc and insert into Xbox!

There are many different ways to mod an Xbox. Which you choose will depend on how much you want to spend and how reliable you want the mod to be. You can TSOP flash, softmod, or install a modchip soldered or solderless. If you get your Xbox modded from someone, it's important to ask them HOW they are modding your Xbox to ensure you don't get ripped off. TSOP flash: overwrites your MSbios that is on the motherboard. Functions exactly like a modchip.

You can play on Live with a modded Xbox, but you have to be extremely careful not to trigger one of Microsoft's bans. As soon as you've gone on Live, Microsoft records two numbers, your EEPROM id and your Hard drive serial number. If any of those change afterwards, they'll know you've modded your Xbox and ban you good. Therefore, if you're planning on upgrading your hard drive, then don't go on Live until after you've performed the mod.
