A little about Xbox Original
Date of issue
Xbox - game console, developed and manufactured by Microsoft. For the first time went on sale on November 15, 2001. This is the first independent performance of Microsoft on the game console market after a project to develop a version of the Windows CE operating system for the game prefixer DreamCast. Microsoft Xbox directly competed with Sony PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube. The heir to Xbox was the xbox 360 prefix and later Xbox One. Initially, the console had the name DirectXbox to emphasize the use of the DirectX API console. When the console was first announced, the name did not like the companies that bought the right to sell. With the help of an Internet survey among users, 20 options for the new name were formed, among whom "Xbox" won.
operating system
An operating system for the Xbox game console is a very much changeable Windows 2000. During adaptation to the game console in Windows 2000, a lot of code has been changed (in the part responsible for working with file systems), so the operating system of this game console cannot be called belonging to the ruler Microsoft Windows. Specialists call it "Xbox OS". [3] However, a member of the Garry Trinder console developer team in its post in the appropriate blog, briefly gave an explanation that the Xbox operating system was developed "from scratch" and only some APIs from Win32 are introduced into it.
Hardware
Xbox has become a popular gaming prefix containing a hard disk used mainly to save the state of the Games and for files loaded from the Xbox LIVE service. This made unnecessary use of memory cards. Most games also used a temporary caching disk to accelerate the game download. Some games also support such a function as "Custom Soundtracks" - the user can install in the game playing its music files stored on a hard disk, instead of standard, built into the game. Although Xbox is based on a PC architecture and running under the trimmed version of the Windows 2000 core version, the console has a number of differences, including optimization to use for games, as well as restrictions made to ensure that the user cannot use the prefix invertible methods. The same scheme (PC as a basis and trimmed windows) was used in the entertainment system Tandy VIS.

You have houses chipped or soft mounted Microsoft Xbox Original. You downloaded the image of the game from this subsection. However, do not know how to record the game, what would she play on your favorite console? Do not worry, now I will be painted in detail one of the options for recording the game image. To do this, we use the universal ImgBurn program.
Depending on the size of the gaming image data, you must select the discs of the desired format - CD / DVD / DVD DL +/- R (DVDRW use is extremely not recommended, their use will reduce the drive resource at times), depending on the manufacturer of your console drive manufacturer. Dicks are worth buying high-quality not to plant a laser head. I recommend using Verbatim and TDK brand blanks.

We are waiting for the end of the record, after which we happily play with friends.
