Project X-Deck for Xbox

17th January 2003, 6:14pm
Project X-Deck is an IC controlled IDE switch for Microsoft's XBox entertainment system. Once completed it will allow a gamer to switch between the original hard drive and up to three other internal drives while maintaining the XBox look and feel. This will also include an option to switch to a secondary DVD drive. Finally it will include a communication port that will allow for mod chips to access the drive switching automatically.

Planned features:
  • Manual/Automatic switching between up to 4 hard drives.

  • Manual/Automatic switching between 2 DVD drives.

  • Built in switching for today's mod chips (Disable/Enable & Flash Protect/Unprotect) If the Mod chip is disabled then the next boot will set the Original DVD & Hard drive as active.

  • Attractive enclosure that matches the XBox's current look and feel
