UngodlyAudrey🏳️‍⚧️<p>I didn&#39;t realize just difficult it is to find decent flash drives under 1GB until I went searching online for one to use to <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/softmod" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>softmod</span></a> my OG <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/Xbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Xbox</span></a> for online play. I rolled the dice on a pack of five that people in the Amazon reviews had mixed success with. I do have a bit of trepidation about this; I&#39;ve never done anything like this with one of my consoles. The setup for <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/Insignia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Insignia</span></a> seems easy enough, and I have a few friends who either have done it, or are interested in trying it.</p>
