I decided to remake the (very bad) FriendTech video i made back in 2015 as i didnt feel like it as very good. I hope everyone enjoys this update. Have a great week!
-
I don't do a whole lot of modding or emulation, but for some reason this stuff just interests me to no end. I love this channel.
-
imagine a modern console being this user-serviceable. that's the dream right there.
-
Great to know KODI has its roots in the Xbox modding scene. I love it. It's so amazing that nowadays it can run on a Raspberry Pi 3B powered by one of the TV's USB ports
-
Then in 2013, Microsoft went too hard with making the Xbox a all-in-one media center....
-
I made that patcher! Weird to see in your video, but I'm sure there was a dreamX patch on xbins that was more suited to that particular xbox? That's where I got the idea.. I did have a patch for the GTA games for 1.4ghz aswell (they had some extra codes in there) but I never made the executable it was just a bunch of hex values
-
Not used my Xbox in years and never knew about the clock capacitor problem. Thanks to your video I've now removed it and the Xbox still works great, thankfully only a tiny bit of leakage. Booted straight back into xbmc! Brings back some memories! Great channel!
-
Watching the Xbox getting cleaned is weirdly satisfying
-
I somehow completely missed this video when it went up lol. I do find the "they should have focused on the media player aspect, too focused on games" quote amusing given the Xbox One's launch
-
Denatured alcohol can also be used to neutralize the leakage from the capacitor, and is much easier and cleaner than mixing up baking soda and water.
-
This thing is awesome, I had only heard of these upgrades but never knew about what Friendtech did. Do you remember the pricing on these?
-
I've learned more about the original xbox from you than from any other source, and I've been an xbox fan since the beginning, and have owned a modded original xbox for about 12 years. Most of this stuff I didn't even know existed, yet somehow you not only know about it, but own it, and know all the ins and outs. You are a treasure to the gaming community, sir, not just for vintage stuff but modern as well. Please keep up the great work. I look forward to your videos every week!

"tempatures di not go much higher than 130 degrees" me, and European: NO WHAT THE HELL THAT IS HELL ON E- ... Oh right fahrenheit, I can wipe the sweat.
-
Thanks for telling about the clock capacitor! I've got 3 original Xbox consoles that will get a checkup due to this!
-
For anyone else accustomed to the graphics of the PS2 half-life console port, that must be the most god damned smooth I've ever seen Half-Life one on a console.
-
One thing I noted when you listed the machine spec is that if you could install Windows 98 on it that would be pretty much perfect for the level of hardware as standard.
-
Your channel has quickly become one of my favourites. I absolutely love the modding/emulation talk, especially the Xbox. Takes me back, that's for sure, though I screwed up and didn't back up the Xbox Dash like a noob so i'm permanently on UnleashX. To this day I haven't figured out how to get the old dash back, as well as the modded dashboards. Ah well, it was a learning experience way back then.
-
Nice! I had never heard of the friendtech upgrades, but I did increase my ram. These look awesome!
-
"Too focused on the games." Wish we could say the same about games nowadays.
-
Great video. You can still buy an upgraded original xbox from N64 Freak by the way if this video has you intrigued. I think he's the only person still making them though.
