shalanna. . . right, I got that last Christmas to play on hubby's Xbox so I could do karaoke. Thinking it would be fun at parties. I had it working, to some degree, last year, and bought about $40 worth of songs in their .KRK format at $2 per song, which didn't seem so bad. But the microphone volume is too low. You have to SCREAM into the mike (which does not make for a good nuanced vocal performance) to get any sound on playback. Does anyone else have this software? I also wish there were some way to transfer these songs back to the PC, with or without the vocal track, so we could use them some other way. They're really just WMA files with a vocal track that goes on top. What it needs is some kind of pre-amp for the mic. I think you can buy those microphones with pre-amps, but (1) they might not plug into the controller, and (2) they cost over $200, mostly. Whew.
Anyhow. I thought I'd try to get that working so we could use it if we have people over during the holidays. All the forums seem to have stopped having posts back last year. Maybe it is now a has-been format. That means I'd REALLY like to get the stuff off that xbox to use elsewhere. Got some great SoundChoice and Chartbusters accompaniments that really sound nice. Just can't USE them. Grr!
(If I could get to the E: drive on the xbox itself, I could copy them off. I don't have a modification chip, so that's not going to work. Is it?)
We now return you to your regularly scheduled noshing.

If you have one of the newer ones though you will need the mod chip. I dont really like the mod chip becuase it still has some protection over you system as where the first editions did not.
Lets say if you had the mod chip and you wanted to copy a game from on of your friends on to the hard drive, this would f-up your whole system becuase the game more then likely has some kind od copy protection...if you were using one of the very first xboxes how ever there would be no hassle getting the game on to the box.
If you have any more question ask me and i will ask my boyfriend who knows everything about modi xboxes.
