I haven't followed the console hacking scene for years but Team Xecuter has been around since at least the original Xbox. Back then they always said "this is only for home brew" to try to cover thier asses. So I wonder if these guys were were doing this on their own.

They deviated away from that many years ago. They’re brazen with the switch advertisements and playing bootlegs.

I remember using the xbox and the xecuter modchip to run XBMC on there before it was KODI. It did have the ability to copy games to the hdd.

DVD2Xbox wasn't written by TE, nor was it a function of their chip chips.

I still have an original Xbox with the Xecuter chip soldered into the front of it, also running Xbox Media Center. And it still runs.

It has an SNES emulator with hundreds of games, a lot of music from the 90's, and about a dozen Xbox games on the internal HDD.

Will never get rid of it, I'm pretty sure there aren't many left in existence.

My xbox with my xecuter chip is a family treasure. I ripped all my xbox games to the hdd. My kids have never played a console beyond the xbox. They've never asked.

I have an Xbox with Xecuter 3 and the four-line front-panel display. At some point the modchip and front display stopped working and now the Xbox boots like a retail unit. One of my projects on the shelf is to go in there and fix it

After all theres a copy of topless-modded DOA Beach Volleyball on the hard drive to greet me once I get around to it

Well I still have mine.
