I did the audio exploit for my brother, and altho I did add a large HDD I used my chipped box to do that. As far as getting the stock XBox HDD running the exploit, shouldnt he just need to get Mordens Gamesave to the mem card which he can do with an Xbox controller, USB cable spliced with the controller, some drivers for the PC, and the MS Mem card. After that, he can load up the game, then game save, then Evox, and FTP any files he needs over. Isnt this a much easier way to do it then the Hot Swap Method, or am I missing something?
Edit:I only paid $8 USD for my mem card a Wal-Mart. Already had a USB cable around, and figd if I have the game, then I can do it for friends just as easy. Seems like such a headache to do the hot swap.
I look at the time and bitch factor. If I can save my self alot of time and alot of bitching by spending $30, its worth it to me. lol. Hotswap compared to mem card time wise, 2 mins for the mem card way, how many hours have people spent over the hotswap?
