bast is the man, listen to him.
lemme add that TSOP flashing is also a cool free alternative. all the power of a modchip for people that don't wanna buy one though you'll need lotta knowledge, time, bit of skill and some extra (cheap) tools..sometimes. this is best only for pre 1.6 boxes, though.
i used to roll TSOP only, till i had to get a modchip for live(couldn't split/install switch). softmodding is easy and free too, and i'd recommend it to newbies easily. there's no way you can go wrong...unless you can't read and follow simple instructions :lol:

edit:
bottomline, if you want a standalone emulation machine, then get an xbox. it's cheap, easy hacking, and many emulation options. we all have a dreamcast, and we've all played around with dreamsnes and the like, but you know those just don't cut it! even a stock xbox with its 8gig harddrive is enough for emulation freaks. <- another thing, you don't have to shell out $$$ on an extra harddrive if all you care for is running emulators! and if you don't mind playing off disks, then you never have to upgrade your harddrive.

later!

I usually avoid recommending TSOP flashing since this is the one that CAN be screwed up pretty easily and end up in a dead Xbox... whereas softmod mistakes are usually very easy to recover from IF you manage to mess up in the first place.


yeah its like I been saying stock Xbox HD is PLENTY for emulation... DC emulation is only for the non-picky or for people who only want NES and SMS (blatant exaggeration but you get the idea)

Hook your PC up to your TV (or don't) and hook up a real good controller (if your too poor for a controller and have a GP32, it makes a good controller, or if your like me, a keyboard does the job just fine).
