AFAIU this is not appropriate and won't work for the newest versions
of the XBox. (Version 1.6b) The newest versions of the XBox have stuff
in the System BIOS that defeats the software mod tricks. Beyond that I
don't have immediate access to the appropriate games anyway.

This is only true if you completely disable system BIOS and/or change
things on the XBox disk partitions. My hardware mod allows me to make
a choice between system BIOS and hardware mod BIOS at boot time based
on which button I push on the front panel. I intend to clone the XBox
system partitions on a larger drive which will ensure that this isn't
an issue. (Not that I care much, but anyway...)
