Title: Hook Xbox DVD Drive To PC
Post by: BlueMnky on June 15, 2002, 03:11:00 PM

I dont know if this has already come up, Im sure it has,
but why not hook the Xbox DVD drive to a pc using the xbox ATA
cable?? same cable right??
Just open case of xbox, leave power plugged into xbox motherboard,
and disconnect the ata cable from HD and plug to PC.  And try and
rip games to your local HD??

Maybe im late on this?!?  Any thoughts??

So, is there anything more to ripping games than just hooking the xbox dvd drive to your pc and reading from it?  What about drivers?
