Think I missed something also...flew right over my head!....wait yeh he is right, you still have to enable this process to work inside the Xbox itself.

Should have my Mod down tomorrow or so it seems using the standard Xbox supplied mem card with a switch at the top.

I quote from my original post:

"I liked the idea about adding a reset switch to your game controller, and I followed the great tutorial put out by the Xboxmod08 team for modding the internals of the Xbox for this to work."

Notice that I stated that I modded the "internals of the xbox" you still have to cut the yellow wire inside the Xbox on port one and jump it to whichever point on the video connector on the motherboard to make this mod work. Follow the tutorial for putting a reset switch in your game controller for the instructions on modding the Xbox, which you can find in the tutorials section of xbox-scene. I figured this mod out so that I could use any controller I wanted, with the modded memory card of course.

Ah ok...will check it out, thank you very much.

Excellent Find....Very well done.

I must say, I find it very hard to believe that M$ conveniently place an extra wire in the controller. Which so happens to be used by memory cards too. Out of curiosity, has anyone completed the reset switch project (Controller or Memory Card) while testing the XBL service? Maybe the headset or the encrypted memory card uses that wire for something.

hOLA: hey
hOLA: sup
Patrick: Hello and welcome to Xbox interactive online chat support! How may I help you today?
hOLA: whats the yellow wire for?, i asked this question earlier and the guy freaked out, and hung up on me, what kind of service is this?, anyways, ive cut an extension cable and say that there is a yellow wire, so i cut it, since i know it was extra, and everything works fine still
hOLA: the wir ethat even goes to the mem card
hOLA: like i thought it still works perfect of course, but my question is will there be a functionality for this in the future, or is it just to confuse or whatever
Patrick: I don't understand why you would willingly cut this wire.
hOLA: because im a technician, and i go by logic, and use logic, and that yellow wire isnt logic
hOLA: hello?
hOLA: same thing like the other guy, do you ahve an answer?
Patrick: Then if you're a technician, then you would know cutting wires and altering parts of your Xbox without checking any form of schematic or consulting the Technical Support department first is a rather precarious way to damage your equipment.
Patrick: If you want the answer as to the use of that wire that you've cut, you'll have to consult with our Technical Support department.
hOLA: what is this by the way then?
hOLA: gaming support?
Patrick: We're here for general (pre-sales) Xbox questions, game release info and some Xbox.com site navigation.
hOLA: ooohhh, should have known you dont knkow anything because of that, thanks btw, and sorry!

GTac01 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 23, 2002, 10:25:00 PM »

danm, theyr all the same robot, they say the same stuff and are trained to stop talking to you after you say you painted a heart on your xbox, since thats a modification, and its totally forbidded by god. They also take forever to copy and paste the same lines of text they always use, you gotta see how lowng they take to tell you "please call costumer service" i ha dthe feeling the quire was jacking off while i talked. They suck, i just wanna see what the famous technical info number will tell me.

GTac01 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2002, 10:28:00 PM »

Yes, but 6 posts in a row? You could of easily made that into one post. Your discussions with XBCS were useless for us to see anyway. It wasen't informative whatsoever. I'm not trying to take anything out on you but I see spam no matter what forum I go to. It just drives me nuts.
