You'll have to search around using Google Shopping. I actually used a 2GB iPod Nano for this.
Wait, so can I use my 8gb 3rd gen iPod Nano to Softmod my Xbox?

I always used this method when I was soft modding them.
I had a sweet Xbox with a led screen and a Xecuter chip.
Oh those were the days.
I still have a Xbox memory unit and Splinter cell though.

The Hard-Modded Xbox's were so epic. I need to get one of those sometime if someone is ever selling one in the B/S/T haha. I have my OG Xbox that is softmodded but having a hard-modded one with the screen or maybe an XDK would be nice.

over $100, there was one what was a good deal but I had to pay for shipping from the UK and that to me was way to much
Yeah, that's not really worth it these days. Were they selling it on here or elsewhere?

Where do you find these USB's? Most of the compatible ones have been discontinued.

I actually used my 2gb iPod Nano for this myself. As far as the USB's go, I'd say try eBay or Google Shopping. :smile:

So my xbox formatted my usb to FATX. However when I plug it into my computer and open Xplorer360, it says "could not find FATX drive to open."

Are you using the Xplorer360 included on the first post in this thread?

i got it to work now. For whatever reason, Windows 7 wouldn't let Xplorer360 read my USB. Moved over to Vista and it worked.

Hi, I'm new, and I have a question. I recently got an Xbox at goodwill, and it came preloaded with softmod files, though they haven't been installed. I have everything I need to softmod it, except a working USB drive. I'm having trouble finding any from the list of compatible ones. Id rather use newer softmod files, such as the latest version of XBMC4XBOX. My question is, is there a way to do this without a flash drive, such as installing the softmod that's on there, setting up FTP, and transferring the new mod files that way, then installing them over the current install? Or does anyone have a compatible flash drive they'd sell me? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
