The Sixth Generation was my most nostalgic generation and its the only generation where I owned every major console Playstation,Gamecube,Dreamcast,and Xbox.
The Xbox was my favorite of the four and I was wondering if anyone else here has memories of or still owns this console.
I would also like to know your favorite games on the console.
My list would be:
1. BattleFront 2
2. Halo 2
3. KOTOR 2
4. HALO
5. GTA San Andreas

Have you installed XBMC OP? Are you aware of the leaking battery capacitor design fault that is causing them to break down if it isn't fixed.
My favourite exclusive games Are
Halo and Halo 2
Fable
KOTOR and its sequel
Jade Empire (made by the same guys as KOTOR and quite similar)
JSRF
GunValkyrie
Lots of multiplats are just downright better on xbox. The Splinter Cell games in particular look much better (Which matters when you have to hide in the shadows) and have more levels. I think every sixth gen console is worth owning though and they can all be picked up cheap except the GameCube and since the Wii is basically free at the moment and plays gamecube games that isn't a problem.

Only XBOX is worth owning actually, and even that not for long since there's real progress on a proper emulator finally. Everything else can be perfectly emulated already.

To be fair dreamcast has maybe 5 exclusives worth playing and they're emulated well enough.

Good console, definitely superior hardware to the ps2 even if its library was lackluster by comparison.
Reminds me I really gotta finish customizing my slimbox. All it needs now is copper heat sinks and a new paint job.

I would still consider it worth getting a DreamCast considering I have seen them for like twenty euro and games are free. Awful controller aside (and I love the Saturn 3D controller) it was a great system. Then again emulation is only going to get better.

I am a dumb wiz but that was why I played console so I wouldn't have to do all that.
I liked all the games you mentioned as well and what I liked about the Xbox was how good it looked at the time and the 2nd controller was alright.
Star wars was the reason why I bought the console in 2003. Did not care about halo until I played it and was one of the best games of my life its tied with Halo 3 as best Halo.

I preferred the original controller but my only complaint about the console is how flimsy the controllers are. If you don't open your xbox and take out the battery that powers the real time clock it is literally going to dissolve your motherboard. XBMC is incredibly easy to install and lets you play pirated games and emulators. I'm kind of pissed at myself for not picking up a copy of Steel Batallion back in the day. I forgot to mention Ninja Gaiden when I was naming exclusives.

>If you don't open your xbox and take out the battery that powers the real time clock it is literally going to dissolve your motherboard.
It's not that caustic, it won't dissolve the board. I've purchased two used units that exhibited the worst degree of corrosion and at worst the acid ruins a couple traces directly underneath the capacitor that are connected with the circuit powering the power and eject buttons. Yeah, remove their dumb factory aerogel capacitor, but any damage is not catastrophic and is easily fixed by soldering a couple bridges onto those traces. While you're at it, solder in a new clock capacitor. I have a 50 farad one, it keeps the clock running about 12 days.
BTW I've always wondered why the factory clock capacitor runs out after four hours but the similar size battery in my slim ps2 holds the clock settings for like two years unplugged despite them having equivalent operating voltages. Does anyone know where the difference lies?

think I might make an ultra slim xbox like a couple of those famous console modders did, like slim ps2 size, except without ripping out filter capacitors like those idiots did
it's dumb how they never even tried making the factory psu external

where the fuck did my post about installing coin ops go? It's legit the best thing I have on my original xbox. It even comes with a bunch of Xbox games like Black and Panzer Dragon Orta in the massive pack.
I would say it is Microsoft's most least offensive console. Came before a lot of the crap that ruined games wasn't around. Besides their online service and some paid DLC things were for the most part kept to a respectable standard for the relationship between consumers and the companies. I do really appreciate this console though, it was good. I'm hoping the emulation scene for it takes off since it deserves better in that regard.
As for favorite games I do not want to rank them but I liked Fable, Ninja Gaiden, the Halo games of course, Morrowind, the Kotor and Battlefront games and the Splinter Cell series mainly. I never played as much games for it as my PS2 so I did miss out on some underrated gems like Otogi for example. I also get that most of those games I listed could be played on other platforms. Still a good console and if I had to pick its absolute best must play games I would go with Ninja Gaiden Black and the Halo games. Serious high praise for Ninja Gaiden though. It might still even be the best hack and slash action game at least in my opinion and even one of the best games ever made. Itagaki was great and its a shame what Tecmo did to him.
I would like to mod my consoles one of these days.

I tried playing both otogi games, they're on my xbox. I don't see why they're praised, the gameplay is really dull and linear. Maybe someone can explain this to me? It's just a man swinging a sword at monsters.

I was always somewhat fond of Kingdom Under Fire. It's also pretty much one of the few XBOX titles I ever played and it's a console exclusive at that. My father would occasionally rent an XBOX for both me & my brother to use from the local video store because we were too poor to buy one outright and I have fond memories of playing both KuF, and a couple other XBOX games (like Conker, Ninja Gaiden & a bunch of random Star Wars titles, like Republic Commando, and that one Obi-Wan centric game). Anyway, it's essentially just Dynasty Warriors with a medieval fantasy skin, but being able to command & direct a few squads of soldiers while you're hacking up hordes of enemies, added a bit of a strategy layer to it, which was a somewhat interesting gimmick.

As an aside, it pisses me off to this day that SEGA hasn't taken the time to port Jet Set Radio: Future off the XBOX to the PC, or other consoles. I've never played it, but I've heard how much of an improvement it was over the original Jet Set Radio, especially in the controls department. The original Jet Set Radio is fine & all, but having to constantly fight with the shitty/floaty controls really put a damper on the fun factor. I still finished the PC port and thought it was okay, but there was certainly much that could've been made better, which is why I'm still interested to check out Future at some point.

Hmm, I guess that's true. Then again, SEGA could still decide to port it to contemporary hardware in the future. There's also the possibility that emulation for the XBOX itself could improve making it possible to play/experience through such means as with an emulator. At the end of the day, besides JSF, there's really no particular XBOX exclusive games that remain, that stand out to me and most of its library in that regard is pretty underwhelming.

I can think of a few you'd probably like if you tried them, like breakdown, phantom dust, metal wolf, the mechassault games, some others….

My old xbox from 2002 still runs like a dream while my xbox 360 red ringed nearly 10 years ago. Anyway, the games I enjoyed the most were:
Halo 1 and 2
Red Faction 2
Pariah
Splinter Cell games
Battlefront 1 and 2
Republic Commando

>banking on a game company resurrecting old cult games is dreaming
Well, they resurrected the first JSR. Clearly the could do the same for JSRF at some point.
>this is even more unlikely than sega resurrecting a cult game
Not necessarily. There's nothing impossible about XBOX emulation, at least technically speaking. Someone just needs to do it. Lack of interest is the main issue.
>I can think of a few you'd probably like
Hmm, I see. Aside from Mechassault, I've never actually heard of the rest you mentioned. They all look quite interesting, I must admit. Especially 'Breakdown' & 'Phantom Dust'. Having said that, I'm sure physical copies of them are quite rare & expensive at this point, so here's hoping for the emulation thing to work out. I'm sure someone with the know-how will get off their ass to do it eventually, since, again, that's basically all that's required.

I wasn't actually, but I suppose that's an option as well. Couldn't be any more difficult than jail breaking any other console, I assume. Even so, I still have faith that the emulation thing will pan out. Aside from my eventual death being a factor, I'm in no rush. ISOs' of these games are readily available online, so it's not like they'll ever disappear, at least in regards to eventual emulation becoming a reality.
In addition, the original XBOX seems like a rather sturdy console. I'd imagine they'll last longer than you think.

Yes, that's true. it could certainly take a while to work out the kinks in it, assuming anyone ever gets started.
For anyone wanting to get stuck into it right now, buying a physical XBOX and then modding it to play ISOs would be the best option, no doubt.
Also, just so you know, but 'Phantom Dust' & 'Metal Wolf' are both available on PC now. Again, just 2 less games that the original XBOX actually has to its own. Even this >>47341 wizzie's list, and others here, are made up of games that can just as easily be played on PC, which are themselves superior versions at that.
Really, if any console deserved good emulation support, it's definitely the PS2, given the copious amount of exclusives it has that it will never see a PC release, ever.

And ps4 and xbox 3.
Wtf. How is that possible? Did they edit out the presidential seal? Because the law against unauthorized usage of that is the reason they weren't able to sell it in america.
Anyway, so what if they've been ported? I guess that's great to anyone who wants to be pragmatic. Pump 'em and dump em' with the rest of the impulse purchases streamed to your wizbang 5TB 10th gen console or 50 core PC. It totally kills the spirit of the thing, though, and goes against the purpose, I think, of this thread. It's basically an anti-xbox thread at this point.

Well, fair enough. At this point in my life, I guess I'm just more interested in the games than the console itself. Even so, in my first post I expressed my own fond memories of the XBOX as a console, so perhaps, in some sense, I should've just left it at that. Didn't mean to derail the thread, or whatever.

Gamecube to me marked the downfall of Nintendo as a cutzie family friendly entertainment system. If they were going to go with downgraded graphics compared to the rest of the game systems they should have gone with cheaper games and a larger library, but Sony always kicks their ass with the size of their library and xbox just pulls what ever is popular from PC. The closest they would get to sponsoring independent game development was for a shitty flash game, but what do you expect from a people averse to risk.

The first Battlefront is my favorite game of all time. I still play it every once in a while, i just can't get bored of it.
Was watching footage of 'Crimson Skies: Road to Revenge' the other day after I recalled playing it for a bit as a kid. Kinda boring to watch, but it still seems OK, I guess. It's been so long for me that I honestly can't remember whether I actually enjoyed playing it or not. Still though, it's an original XBOX exclusive, so just thought I'd post about it. In my opinion, too many people in this thread have posted tons of games that can be played on other platforms and I'd like to see more games that are actually unique to the XBOX itself. I realize people's nostalgia for having played multiplatform games on the XBOX is a thing here, but that's really just super boring and generic stuff. Would ideally like to see more exclusive games that, to this day, you literally can't even play except for on the XBOX, since it's more interesting.

there's a decent number of xbox exclusives, the one that still stands out most to me was phantom dust, the gameplay was a little irksome but the story was morbid and worth it
it's all about a cosmonaut returning from being trapped in a black hole's event horizon, where due to some black hole physics 10,000 years passed on earth, in the meantime science went awry and now the planet is a lifeless dust bowl, it's basically about extinction and "last man" depression

Thats why I said softmod it. No more region lock and you can run the game from the HDD.

iirc you can reflash the tsop and that's more stable than a soft mod, it just takes bridging a couple different spots on the mainboard and burning a disc with Slayers or some equivalent , if you know how to solder anyway

Hey everyone :) . I also have an OG xbox 1.6 crystal edition console with xbmc.

yeah but it stretches parts of the picture
there's also more stuff from the games on the screen in 16:9 than there is in 4:3, xbox's native output is 4:3, so how is that happening?

haven't turned on my custom xbox in a couple years, I cleaned it out tonight (there was even a spider web inside) and plan on installing those max payne games, they look pretty ridiculous but fun
I hope the thing still turns on, it's 20 years old this year

ordered a composite to s-video adapter for my xbox this week, some people say they see no difference in video quality but it was just $5, anyone here have experience with s-video on xbox?

Same, and I bought a 360 just for Halo 3. When I had finished playing the games, I sold my consoles because I played the singleplayer enough times to be satisfied and the friend who used to have me over to his house for multiplayer moved away and my friend group splintered. That one friend moving away sent my social life into a tailspin and turned me into the permavirgin I am today.
Now I can't play Halo without reflecting on the sad trajectory my life took after I no longer had friends with whom to play Halo.

yes, it's not a big deal, just solder a new one in, if the acid eats some traces you just fix them

I own many versions including a 1.6, the clock capacitor is not bigger, it's only a different type.
>The capacitor in the older versions can leak onto the board and make the traces corrode.
We've heard this like a dozen times already. Just learn to solder and fix the traces/replace the capacitor or don't even bother buying one of these consoles to mess around with, seriously. The clock capacitor is the least concerning potential hardware problem given the age of original xboxes. If you buy one its disc drive will almost guaranteed be useless and need a special hack performed on a desktop computer disc drive. The PSU mosfet may explode or already did. The factory hard drive is almost guaranteed dead and you need to modchip the board to install a new HDD. Sata HDD? your sata adapter will probably wind up incompatible btw. Other capacitors may be dead. The list goes on. You gotta be a fairly adept modder to even mess with the things these days. But all anyone ever talks about is the clock capacitor.
