Becareful when moding it, you could really mess up your X-Box.  And also if you dont use the right mod, some mods will be detected if you play on X-Box live, and then they will ban your Box from there server, FOREVER....

Personally, I wouldn't mod my xbox, but i'm looking into modding my controller a little bit :p Led's etc... anyone know where to find this?

Moding your controller huh?  Make sure to post a picture of that when your done, that seems really interesting.....

That doesn't have anything about the controller mod on it... :dodgy:

what I think i'll do is hook up the led's to the vibration, so that when it vibrates the lights turn on and off, but what I want, is so the led's go around the controller, and when it vibrates the go around it, i'll try and demonstrate in paint :p

Someone went to the level of modding there controller for Halo so that when the Rocket Launcher Reappeared, a little LED would light up... some people... *sigh*

RE: Xbox Moding by Pr0xY on 09-29-2004 at 01:28 PM

Oh I see, thats really cool.  I wonder if you can do that with a Playstation 2?

Of course you could, its merely the use of led's attached to the vibration, it could be done in any rumble shock pad.

And if you're talking about the rocket launcher thing.. then of course its possible, you just need to be super smart or something :D

you better know something about electronics, or those leds wont do much....especially if:

No i don't know how i will do that bit yet, i saw it on a controller mod somewhere, i have to set up a crazy circuit thing that comes out of the back of the controller :sad: its going to take me ages, but i'm going to get an old controller to try it out with first :cheesy:

You'll need a soddering iron for sure, and if you dont know anything about wiring/electronics then I suggest doing some practice tests on something.  Draw the whole thing out too, so you have a step by step process to follow, so you dont forget where you are and mess up.

That isn't what traxor wants though. The links only provide a circuit where the leds are run in a predefined pattern. This is totaly something different (and easier) then what traxor wants...

But it does give a nice idea of what traxor is facing. In other words, reading a circuit-diagram and building it with components he never heared of and with no idea how things actually work.... eg:
quote:
We use opto-isolator (TIL198) to separate our circuit from the rest of the computer system.
......
If you choose some other color for the leds, remember to calculate right values for the resistors


Remember that those night-rider mods in those links are easy, eg: they use only 2 or 3 IC's, and they run on a constant power supply, traxors idea will not have that, it will be variable. Traxors idea is much more like a digital VU-meter (<= major tip ;))

no offense traxor ;)
I hope you will be able to do this mod, it can be great fun. But indeed: practice... practice... practice... ;)

this might be of interest before you attempt to do anything:

I have a soldering iron, two actually lol, actually ones a soldering gun, and it has a cool led torch on the front so that you can see what you're doing... I do know some things about electronics and wiring.. I will practice on an old controller first of course ;)

thanks for the help, i can seriously use it, and if I need any help, do you mind if I pm you at any time, cause that would really be excellent, i have a lot of course work recently, so I need to have more time on my hands.

And of course theres no offence taken, I might try out the idea on a playstation controller first, but i need to look at the circuitry in both of the controllers, just to see if they're similar or not. If not then... I really don't know
