Unecessary Files
« on: February 24, 2003, 06:56:00 AM »

I backed up one of my games to my new HD.  I was planning on downloading my other games but I want to be sure I dont waste HD space.  The 1st game was Splinter CEll and it occupies over 6Gb.
Which files should I delete to conserve HD space?
Where can I get info on which files can be deleted for different games? ;)

B) As I don't have a DVD burner, I spent 4 months, screwing around with getting all my games down to 700MB, since I upgraded to a cheap 80gig HDD I have more time to play the phucking games instead of stripping them.

Replacing the HDD is piss easy, there are dozens of tutorial around.
If you don't mind completely destroying your xbox case like I did, I can provide a tutorial.for you with a 4x HDD switch that will cost you under $40US
currently ive got a 15gig + 20gig + 80 gig setup.

Where did you get that and what does it do exactly? I see that it's a controller port, but the connection cord is what confuse me..  :)

It's a stripped down Xbox, I gather, with a custom case.  By the looks of it, the storage devices appear to be in the PC case and the core of the unit in the stripped down box.

Its a $5.00 jiffy box from radioshack, with the xbox sockets, cut out and super glued onto the base of the jiffy box (mini-me), the cable coming out of the mini-me is a 25pin printer cable with the centronics bit cut off.

Have a look at some pics/info I put on this  POST
It may clear it up for you.

My mod was never designed to be pretty, but at less than $50 for a 4way HDD selector (AV isolation switch $19.95). and a 4 port 1.5 metre game port extension, I reckon my mod shits on all those pointless neon light mods getting around, (no offence).
