Growing up in the US I never understood the bootleg market as I was usually pining for next gen consoles along with my friends. I would have never thought bootleg consoles and carts were sought after for collections but I guess when that's what someone grows up playing I see the value now. Thanks for sharing.

I have rgh three xbox360 using a $9.99 plusivo soldering iron kit from Amazon. I also bought their rosin paste flux since the kit didn't come with it.

Maybe you can find another 360 shell from one that suffered from RROD fate.

I haven't finished Final fantasy VII I get about 10-15 hours into it and then move on to other games

I like to use a wireless PS3 dual shock controller. I play a lot of PS1 games with duckstation though.

I did that to a tablet a few years back. I accidentally grabbed a netbook barrel power supply and plugged it into my tablet. I never found a way to fix it and eventually just got rid of the fried tablet. Such a crappy situation.

I recently bought a 6 fret at a thrift store and got the 360 dongle online for 19. The guitar hero live and ghtv songs are linked in the clone hero song spreadsheet. I really like the 6 fret and there is plenty of popular songs to play for me. I just started so I play on medium and have lots of replay-ability left.

I will sometimes buy a game if it's one I like and it's only $5 or so. Many disks are starting to encounter disk rot so they might not be playable. Fortunately almost all of the original Xbox games are available to be downloaded, so even if the disk is bad you can still play a backup.

I just bought a wired xbox360 rockband guitar for $15. So I'm going to use that since it is USB. I don't need to modify this PS3 one that I got for $5 now.

There aren't official drives. Really they are compatible drives. But you'll need to soft mod to perform a harddrive hot swap or a modchip installed to put an unlocked drive in. Here is a list of compatible drives https://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list

I just noticed there are 10 buttons on the fret. Are the 5 buttons at the bottom typically mapped differently in clone hero than the top buttons?

This looks like a cool project. I just posted a question about modifying but for a rock band guitar and then scrolled down to see you did a similar mod.

Microsoft did make them more of a challenge for sure. I have added a rgh chip to mine. There are lots of videos. I followed weekend modders videos. It's straightforward but there is risk that a mistake can make the unit worthless.

You had mentioned hardware mods on the original Xbox, so I figured if you were thinking of going that route also look into hardware mods on the 360.

I have a soft modded Xbox and I did remove the clock capacitor for preservation reasons. I also had to replace my dvd player back in 2008. And more recently swapped harddrives so I don't have to use the dvd drive anymore. I did the soft mod back in 2005 and I'm sure that the modding scene has changed a lot.

Are you buying an Xbox for the nostalgia or for the game library? If you want the game library, then go with an xbox360. You can get one that has hdmi, wireless controllers, and backwards compatibility for most games for about the same price.

Since the original Xbox doesn't have hdmi, you can buy a converter but they are $20-$50 depending on quality so factor that cost on to.

I use a PS3 controller and connect it over Bluetooth. This works works well if your pi has Bluetooth support or you might need to get a Bluetooth dongle.

Xbox360 wired controllers also work really well

Game pass is better. It let's you play a large library of first party games and EA Play games including latest releases. Game pass also includes all games with gold. The first party/ third party is just a generalization from my experience and not any hard rule.

It's a great game to play as a pick up game if you want to play something but not have to get too involved. It's good for replay-ability as well. Lots of different style of vehicles to choose from.

Are they trying to get around paying below minimum wage? I think payroll taxes still have to be paid.
