Here is where to buy the eeprom reader and 3 discs. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Xbox-EEPROM-Reader-Writer-Repair-Faulty-Console-HDD-/140521532676?pt=UK_VG_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20b7bc6d04#ht_2129wt_905 If for some reason you don't get the disk with Pony Prog and LiveInfo, go to this link http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/xbox/tools/eeprom-reader-software-tools-pony-prog-liveinfo/ You can sign up as a free member and be able to download the file.</pre>The plain text file "Links.txt" makes me think that this video game from YouTube video ID MlUleIMGx_k (alive in 2021). I would have read Links.txt earlier but I was worried about Windows 7's anti-malware software deleting my modding files. I think I bought the 3 CDs and the EEPROM reader sometime years before 2020. Apparently I got the following data: * "1st" CD: "Star Wars Battlefront II [Xbox].iso" * "2nd" CD: "Emulator Disk.iso" * "3rd" CD: "Xbox EEPROM Reader (Guides & Supplemntary Software).iso" * Note: "eeprom softwares.7z" is not an ISO, so I guess this .7z file didn't come from an optical disc. Also, file "eeprom softwares.7z" seem to have about the same data as "Xbox EEPROM Reader (Guides & Supplemntary Software).iso" Properties of the binary file and the non-binary file via wmic, dir, exiftool, and ffprobe: <pre>G:\Games\4.

On the original Xbox, the hard drive and the motherboard are paired to work together and the EEPROM holds the key to this. So if either the hard drive or the motherboard needs to be replaced or the EEPROM gets corrupted, you can use this reader to resolve the problem. You can use virtually any IDE drive to replace your existing hard drive so if you have an old drive lying around gathering dust, give it (and your Xbox) a new lease on life." identifier from two pastebin.com paste IDs (Fb61uF32 Fb8dXRGJ) found at https://archive.org/details/pastebincom-pastes_2014-05-30 eng Internet Archive HTML5 Uploader 1.6.4 Xbox; original Xbox; photo; human; spoken English; video game; video games; hardware; disc; optical media; optical disc; EEPROM reader; EEPROM; YouTube; from YouTube; www.youtube.com; youtube.com; MlUleIMGx_k; YouTube video MlUleIMGx_k; r11---sn-nx57ynes.googlevideo.com; googlevideo.com Reading Original Xbox eeprom with a eeprom reader leedusmcclein@gmail.com 2021-03-29 03:08:54 2021-03-29 03:08:54 [curator]validator@archive.org[/curator][date]20210329030923[/date][comment]checked for malware[/comment] sound color deemphasize
