How to Softmod a Xbox With Ndure

The Xbox video game console can be modified to perform functions such as saving games and using programs created by other Xbox enthusiasts. Modifying (or ̶0;modding̶1;) the Xbox can be done without having to open it up, although any modification to its operating system voids the Microsoft warranty. You will need to use a computer to download the free Ndure modding program, along with a memory card transfer device and a specific Xbox video game disc. The ̶0;softmod̶1; does not require any mechanical or electronic skills and can be accomplished within two hours.
