You dont need a mod chip.

p1ng so your saying those CDs can be readable? If so, then I just need to get games that are less than 800mb in size eh?

[J_iceman]

actually 100 mb. I thought that with xbox- they are dvd quality right??

and if you use dvd -rw or cd-rw, the disk will turn corrupt, might was well stay with the cd-r and dvd-r!!

100mb? huh the size of a CD is way more than that

Well my xbox for some reason can read anykind of burned cd but it cant read some games. I would wrather have it read games then cd's.

Xbox cannot read burned games, unless you have a modchip, like me.

Do you need a DVD burner in order to burn the xbox games or do you just need a cd-rw and a mod chip?

[J_iceman]

100mb? huh the size of a CD is way more than that yeah your right its actually 700!!!!! mb. and yes you need a dvd burner ans spiecal software to copy games... unless its for the playstation (the first one) which only requires regular cds (700 not the 650mb)

Im probly going to get Evolution-X mod for my Xbox, so I can make games(simple ones) with the XDK then using FlashFXP to run the game on my Xbox

No. Thats just for music.

Doesn't modding your box let you not be able to go online?

[p1ng]

Only if it detects the chip. Most of them have an on/off swith, so as long as the chip is off, you can go online.

Yea, mine has a switch. When I want to use xbox live, I'll just switch it off. However, you can still use XBox Connect, (http://www.xbconnect.com/) or Gamespy Tunnel(don't bother) to play games online, which can sometimes be a better experience due to more titely woven communities.
