....but I can't say how well, or even if, it works.

It would probably be simpler just to get a PSOne. They're not
expensive.

Or mod your Xbox, which will make it much more versatile than a PS2.

Um, a modded Xbox can't play PS2 games.
And from what I understand it can't play PS1 games either.

A PS2 can't play Xbox games either, and he wasn't even asking about PS2
games.

However, a modded Xbox can play PS1 games. Your understanding is wrong.
See http://www.xbox-scene.com/software/software.php?page=em...

Scroll down that huge list of emulated systems available for the Xbox,
and take a look at PCSXbox. Certain aspects of PS1 gaming are actually
better on a modded Xbox than on a PS2. Specifically, the PS1 emulator
allows save states and includes a built-in memory cheat engine. Controls
can also be fully customizable for those games that don't normally
include that option.

As you can see many games don't work.

With a Fat PS2, a SlideTool&SwapMagic set, and DVD Loader disk you can
play all 13,000 PS1/PS2 games. Download HD Loader Free and you can put
all your PS2 games on the PS2 HDD.

Then you're not familiar with Krayzie's softmod installer. I've
forgotten the underlying scheme that it uses at this point, but if
you're *sincerely* interested I can find that out.

See above.

It's true that you cannot use Live with the soft mod in place.
Uninstalling, however, is not difficult nor time consuming.

I've done dozens with no difficult at all. That is not to say that
there could never be any problems, but I'm willing to rate that as a
small percentage at this point.

I do agree with you, that PS1 emulation is better served by buying a
PSTwo. They are an inexpensive solution that comes with lots of benefits.

Is this different than the old "pointless" mod where you use the audio
glitch? I've heard of it but you can't play backups or software.

If there seriously is a way to softmod the Xbox, and it doesn't require
an already modded Xbox, then I'd be very interested. but only if it
allows for imports.

Yes.

Searcht the usual places for Krayzie's soft mod installer. There are
others that use basically the same scheme (UCE, maybe,) but I can vouch
for the reliability and useability of that particular kit.

One thing that you will need is a copy of Splinter Cell (or perhaps one
of a few other games) so that you can initiate the installer through a
save game exploit.

If you want to swap to a larger hard drive, having a hard-modded xbox at
your disposal will be the easiest way to go. Since, however, it sounds
like you're interested in running "backups" -- that probably won't be an
issue.
