DVD Rom Replacement on XBOX

[Cool007]

 


Okay, I am planning to change the DVD-Rom drive on my xbox; can someone tell me which DVD Drive should I use for the Best Results?

What brand should I replace it with?

People mentioned the Pioneer 106. There was a site that you can do a complete replacement, I forgot where, it was a pioneer 500DM or something like that.

You can hookup a secondary DVD rom to boot CD-Rs, I assume almost any decent DVD rom drive would do.

To do a complete replacement of the original, it has to be a specific one. I am uncertain if it still booted the originals.

not all dvdroms work with the xbox. i know the artec 16x dvdrom works great! you can find it on pricewatch for around $38 shipped.

i got a pioneer 106 in mine, outside the box, just sat on top of the original drive...it's easy enuff swapping over to use original xbox drive for original discs then, cos _no_ replacement pc dvdrom drive can read original discs...they can only read/play backups

i believe the liteon works well too, but if u got a dvd drive in ur pc?, why not give that a try!...just set it to slave and plug it in, i don't think u can harm anything if it's not compatible?...

Any Pioneer & Toshiba Drive works

the 106s works a treat
