Talking about the 23-year-old Xbox console, if you still have one around, you can easily tweak it and mod it to your needs and desires, by using a memory card, all due to a newly discovered exploit, called Endgame.

The exploit doesn’t require a game or a functional DVD, and it can be easily deployed using a memory card. It is compatible with all the versions of the original Xbox Dashboard. You could use the exploit to hack your original Xbox and make it compatible with modern softmod solutions. 

However, you should also be aware that you could potentially lose all the data from the original Xbox in question, so you have to consider the risk before implementing the exploit.

But, as you can see, there is still new life to be found in the original Xbox console.
