How to Replace TSOP on an Xbox

Xbox 360 consoles are distributed by Microsoft Corp. and manufactured with TSOP memory that can be edited to play backups of Xbox 360 DVD games. Flashing your Xbox&'s TSOP is easy and free to do, requiring only a freeware program and a screwdriver to open the 360&'s case. Editing the 360&'s TSOP will require approximately an hour of your time. You will need to download a free TSOP flashing program onto your computer.
