Changes

Softmodding an Xbox is... involved(unless you use the hot-swapping method, which has no special requirements apart from a PC with PATA interface). You need a few pieces of equipment that may be hard to come by (i.e. an Action Replay), several programs, and a suitable PC environment to go from start to finish. To make things easier, you should ensure that you have everything you need before you get started. You should also be comfortable with some technical tasks, such as using an FTP client, adding/removing and setting jumpers on IDE HDD's, using command-line programs (nothing too complicated), and accessing xbins (see the next section).
