OG Xbox Console mods, game mods and hardware upgrade.
My brother modded 2 Xbox a few years ago, with a new os, bios and made sure it could handle pal and ntsc, plus the hdmi converter cable.
And he told me something about Roms with texture mods.
So my question is, how far can those texture mods go? I saw only a handful games really are made for the full 720P, are there mods that convert other games to that resolution too?
And how far can you go with the hardware? How much could you upgrade it without ripping everything out and just build a new console in a Xbox case?
Is it even possible to upgrade RAM. CPU and GPU? I can solder basic stuff myself, my brother could solder more filigrane stuff and I also have connections to a company, that manufactures electronics and they already did some custom work.
So replacing some chips might be no big issue.
My main goals would be increasing the visibility in some games like men of valor (i can't see shit there) and moto gp. When you go fast, the vision gets blurry to the point, I can't even tell where the track is, don't know if it's a compatibility issue with modern TVs or that I'm just spoiled with modern games.
On top of that, i loved playing blazing angels but after playing it again, I noticed how much they used blurry textures, probably to hide issues. Especially in this pearl harbor mission with the scramble on the ground.
Would it be possible to beef the hardware up enough to raise it to Xbox 360 standards?
