Yesterday a divine miracle happened and a wild Xbox360 S phased into reality in my apartment. What cool and neat things I can do with it?
Unlock it to install any game you want for free
Buy Guitar. Play Guitar Hero & Rock Band. Enjoy.
Buy Kinect. Play Dance Central. Enjoy.As far as I know, there is Clone Hero homebrew.
I used to have full rockband set and an jtagged phat console. It was epic!
I also own rocksmith cable with pc version of the game. Hope I can use it with Xbox too.
Play Skate 2 and enjoy the soundtrack that I believe is the reason it never made it to PC
Halo 3, and black ops 1 zombies were my favorites. Halo reach and ODST are great. We also used to play Left 4 Dead 2 at LAN parties
Those are all on PC though (BO1 PC port kinda sucks)
Get a copy of Lost Odyssey
Get a drill bit, and slowly drill through one of the IC chips until you can install a new operating system. I fucking love the kamikaze hack
i really like the delidded image that shows that the “combined chip package” shows that it’s literally just two chips in the same package
I think it still requires firmware flasher that costs a hefty sum.
Hack it.
That is what I am up to. Not sure what is the best way to do it yet.
I always use the guides at consolemods.org worked for my PS3 and PS4 and 3ds
abadupdate + aurora dashboard
Play games with it?
I was going to go with make pasta with it… but this might be a better option.
Play old Minecraft and Forza Horizon 1 and 2. There are lots of good games for the 360.
There are bunch of good games for it. You could also mod it and look into homebrew and emulators.
I am specifically looking into modding. Is there anything cool I can do with it besides ABadAvatar? I am planning to expand storage to 1TB SSD. Drive also can be flashed but it seems to be super expensive to get flashing tool for that.
Also, if I go ABadAvatar route, is there a way to lock xbox into autobooting directly into Aurora without waiting for ABadAvatar to perform unschackle?
If you want a mod that persists, you’d need to do a hardware modification called the RGH exploit. It’s doable on an Xbox 360 S, but you need decent re-soldering skills to pull it off. I haven’t done it in years, but it sounds like ABadAvatar could make the process a lot easier than it used to be.
I possess soldering skills so that is no issue.
I been reading and things are confusing for me. Some say that I only need 2 wires to run across the motherboard and run ABadAvatar. But if I read ConsoleMods wiki, it seems that I need a programmer. I have ordered rpi pico for this and will dive into it once I figure out the process.
I know things have changed since I last did an RGH setup, which is probably where the confusion comes from; things are changing even though the scene was most active 10+ years ago.
I imagine you don’t need a NAND flasher now that ABadAvatar exists, but I could be mistaken. The process used to be, at a really high level: solder the NAND flasher/dumper, dump the original NAND, solder the RGH timer, then flash a NAND with a good timing profile for that console.
I don’t know the program names anymore, but a buddy had his 360 homebbrewed with emulators and that was a good time
Ninja Gaiden 2 is calling.
Split/Second holds up.
A certified, bona fide banger! I am lucky having it in Steam.
I know you’re wanting to mod but you gotta get The Orange Box and play that
I have heard servers for xbox TF2 are still there. Man, vanilla release-era classic TF2 gameplay 🤤
Soft mod it and install emulators on it
