Hacking Best way to mod a 360 in 2021?

[godreborn]

don't recall which drive is in mine. it's probably a wd drive, since that's almost all I buy.

btw, if you're going to install an hdd in a phat 360, be careful about the eject spring. it tends to try to go shooting off when you open the hdd caddie. iirc, it's sandwiched between the button and this other piece shaped like a bat (both plastic). I don't know how it is with the slim (if they use some sort of enclosure) as I've never owned nor seen a slim in real life.

I just remove the eject mech, slims just connect directly to the hdd sata connector, if you're good you can get a 2.5 hdd in it without any sort of special case, if you aren't planning to remove it often

the phat hdds piss me off, because they're just a glorified 2.5" hdd inside a caddie at triple the price.

Yeah they gave up on that with the slims, now it's just a 2.5" hdd in a nice plastique shell

I probably won't ever buy a slim, but I might get a series x some day.

Get a Trinity, only slim I'd recommend, otherwise get a falcon or Jasper

my two jtags are falcons. never had a problem with the one plugged in. it's still plugged in in fact.

I still want to know if a slim could be jtagd after a CPU swap with zero fuses, technically it should be


Jasper with 0 efuse booting

I sold my Xbox One and got a Gaming PC, and now Microsoft puts practically all their exclusives on PC so no reason to ever buy Series X for me. However I will always keep my RGH 360 still tons of good exclusives on it, I have almost 450 games on mine.

I have almost 800 with the almost complete xbla library, but only maybe 15 xbox 360 games and 3 xbox original ones. I also have 3,400+ indie games.

Why not more 360/Xbox games? Lots of good ones.

I'm a huge rom/iso collector but I never got into having complete sets of a console. I just choose the games I like even if I have only a little bit of interest in them. I have no need for crap like Madden 2008.

You don’t need the enclosure for a slim. While yes it helps get the hdd in place with a little precision you can just slot the hdd in normally and have it sort of “floatin”
