Whats the easiest way to get my US xbox to play JPN games, I dont care about running linux or emulators or anything, I just wanna play this copy of shikigami no shiro that I bought. I remember hearing something about being able to use a glich of somesort in 007 nightfire to update the bios without even opening the unit up? How does this work?
The 007 Agent Under Fire exploit allows you to flash the built in TSOP (bios chip). But, you still have to open the system up and solder across atleast 2 sets of points (might be more - depends on revision of system). This allows the TSOP to be flashed.
You can find a ton of info on it
HERE @ xbox-scene.com.
You would still need to have access to a modded XBox, so that the special exploit file can be copied to a memory card...or have someone copy it to it for you.
I have used this method to flash the TSOP on my first Gen, release day XBox and it works great.
