P> Have an old 20 GB HDD from my old phat 360 setup to run my BBS under a
P> Raspberry Pi Zero W. Had to replace the laser assembly & replaced the 20
P> GB with a 500 GB Western Digital drive with a hacked firmware AND the
P> original Xbox partition to run Xbox games.

That is a project I recently considered.  Never had any interest in gaming
consoles unless they can be hacked.  I still have (but no longer using) three
original XBOX consoles - all modded.  They have all the games on the local
drive and also run XBMC.  I used to use them to watch TV before they were
replaced with PCs.

I also have a PS3 that is hacked.  Once I finished the hack, I lost interest in
it and it sits in the closet.  I got the PS3 for free from someone at work.
Their kid said the blu-ray drive wasn't working so they were going to throw it
away.  I told them no to toss it and bring it in, as I didn't care about the
blu-ray and wouldn't have used that anyway.. :)

There doesn't appear to be an XBOX 360 emulator that works well, so I might get
one and hack the firmware.  Hopefully I'll have the time soon to put together
my retro-gaming setup using MAME or something.  I recently picked up 1TB of
ROMS and images for this.. :)
