RE: Xbox softmodding

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had to read that 2 or 3 times before it "clicked" but I
understand
now... :-)

So that implies that the disk *IS* locked uniquely to a specific xbox
(by its EPROM). In principle it sounds like a fairly straightforward
process though, - just depends on the exact procedure I guess... - did
you have a tutorial to follow when doing this?.... How difficult was it
in practice? (any "brown trouser" moments?)

Cheers.
