Microsoft Xbox

Good news everyone, car boot sales have started up again, and at the second one I went to I spotted a box with an original Xbox on top, so £25 was quickly exchanged, and the box went straight to the boot of my car



The box contained a mass of cables and Xbox related paraphernalia, but no games. At this point I had no idea if it was even working



Anyway, here's the top and bottom, it's as you would expect



Front and back, four controller ports, an eject disc tray button, and the momentary power button. The rear has a standard C7 (fig-8) power lead, video out and a network socket



And the sides, which are just vents



I have two advanced SCART cables, not sure what's in the box though, the TV said RGB on it's on-screen info panel



And a normal composite video lead



A Duke controller




And two S controllers, I only got two detachable connectors though



It works, I wasn't expecting it to




Holy moly, it would appear this is a modded Xbox with some games installed, I have tried to show you all the games in the photos above



An old version of XBMC (now Kodi)



That's a somewhat "interesting" test screen for the 50/60Hz switcher



It can play DVD's from all regions, I am in region 2, so that's the only discs I have, but they play fine



Playing with different skins

Trying out some of the games, here's Sonic Heroes



The Simpsons Hit and Run



Project Gotham Racing


Unrelated stuff that was in the box



Some random cables



An Xbox360 composite video lead and a Kinect



A Xbox360 power pack



And whatever this is
