The day has finally come to hack an Xbox 360. After being interested in the idea for a while I was finally convinced it was time with the list of Xbox Live Arcade games that have been delisted to open up a 360 and set out to hardmod the system with the Reset Glitch method.

Moding/hacking I had this person try and sell me a hacked account Nintendo DSI for $160 and I told him straight out I don’t buy hacked systems, especially for that price and I said straight out if I buy I would only pay $60 and he was freaking out and told me it’s a thing now I just said not my thing so if you really want me to buy it would only be $60 to days later he messaged me and sold it to me for $60 but then I turned around and gave him $100 he asked me why because he didn’t understand. I said straight out. You treat me right I’ll treat you right that’s why it says $60 in the beginning. And because he understood that’s why he was willing to sell it to me for $60 and the reason why I gave my hundred is he did take his time to work and get it right no he didn’t get $160 that he wanted, but he did get what I thought his service was good for so when it comes to 100 and over no thank you it’s not worth it. I don’t care if it a thing or nostalgia

[@holy_lettuce]

I have a modded 360 and just recently modded my OG Xbox for playing Halo 2 online and man it has been a blast this week!

[@systematicallyshocked]

How’s the Halo 2 scene? I have a modded Xbox but I haven’t checked out anything online yet. I used to play it all the time back then but don’t play online anymore since last gen. It’d be cool to check it out back on og Xbox, I figured the people there are people who actually want to have fun.

[@holy_lettuce]

@@systematicallyshocked it’s been a ton of fun on Halo 2. Feels like a crazy bit of nostalgia and me and my buddy found matches on Team Slayer consistently. We won about 2 matches and some people you can tell have been playing non stop since it’s online again. It’s free to play and the process is relatively simple to play on live through insignia. Adding friends works again as well as sending voice messages and voice chat it’s been a chill experience and no cheaters of course just people wanting to relive the glory days of Halo and Xbox. I highly recommend it as it’s the main reason I’m playing my OG Xbox right now

Soldering is actually a good thing to practice. You get better with time and when you can get better tools you can get to do many difficult things. I manage to install an X-Station on a PSX, and believe me, it's not easy AT ALL.

[@SlugMoisture]

It’s a pricey in terms of mistakes but very worth it

[@SWRoyalFlush]

I suggest taking a board from like an old remote or something and practicing on that. Also not sure what you’re into as far as games go, but I cut my teeth on a custom hitbox style controller for fighting games a learned a lot from that experience.

[@sethswanson3469]

I did this exact mod back in Oct last year. Its totally worth it if use a 2Tb drive cause you'll be able to put 250-400 games on it.

[@ahsanvirk130]

Is the 2tb drive compatible with the old Jasper models...?

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e No, it was modded when I bought it. I updated it to the latest dashboard, I installed the hacked OG Xbox compatibility, I upgraded to SSD and I configured it all from scratch myself though. I'll tell you, transferring over 500+ games was a pain in the ass and took its sweet time.

[@majorgear1021]

I doubt it. They probably bought a modded 360.

[@Tinfoilist]

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e It was RGH-modded before I bought it but I did buy the SSD separately and I configured it all myself though. Transferring all those games and ripping 100+ of my own game discs was a chore I hope to avoid ever doing again. It took forever.

[@jefferygrantham5582]

I have a Phat Falcon that I RGH3'ed for my kids and for nostalgia purposes. Reliability on boot can be hit or miss, but I find that when the TV is on and set to the correct input before powering on the 360, it seems to work more often. I have their TV set up to allow HDMI CEC so that they don't have to search for inputs using the remote. So they typically turn on a console, then the TV just comes on and goes to the correct input automatically.

[@espressomatic]

360 doesn't support CEC. Xbox One doesn't support CEC. Xbox One X doesn't support CEC. Series S and X didn't support CEC when first released. HDMI handshake might be the issue you're seeing.

[@jsteezus]

@@WeneedaplagueExactly, you dont get pushed out the womb with these skills. I was selling 10-15 jtagged Xbox’s a month (before slim model came out)before that I was hosting 10th prestige lobbies. I learnt how to tag an Xbox when I was 12 cuz I wanted to be in 10th prestige lobbies but said hey let me learn It myself.

[@coastaku1954]

If you love your 360, you'd keep it stock. Enjoy it's limitations, if you had a device that could do anything, where is the fun in that

[@systematicallyshocked]

It’s also dependent on how much you think it’s worth doing. Meaning what will you actually do and play? If there is a large library you’d want to get to then go for it, why not? Don’t look back later and say “man I wish I…”, but if there isn’t a ton and you’re happy stock, that’s also cool. Lots of 360 games are still inexpensive. I buy physically still for 360. But if you’re too worried best bet would to find a cheap 360 somewhere and work on that so you feel more comfortable not messing up your own. Trust me, I don’t have steady hands worth a heck, but I was able to solder (a different console). It’s not as worrisome as you might think, and once you get the hang of it, it becomes more natural.

[@billydelacey]

"I used a cliché video title format in the current year. Here's why."

[@DeadlestSpartanGroup]

One of my favorite things from X360 was the indie game section. Games like Castle Miner Z and Murder Miners was xbox 360 for a lot of us

[@MrGarryGrey]

I kinda want to buy a second 360 to mod it and keep one "legit". Still have an account with tons of delisted games (I even have Simpsons Arcade demo on my account, which can still be redownloaded, all those files are still on Xbox servers. I regret never buying the full version, didn't expect it to get delisted so quickly), NFS MW 2005 probably the most rare digital game I own, and other valuable stuff that I don't want to lose access to, as well as an option to earn achievements and play online. With store closing in July, I'm planning to buy a lot of digital-only titles and move to retails discs.

[@bababooey9251]

Didn’t realize the pico was able to do this now. Appreciate videos like this, got a new project now!

[@Wilbure]

Taping very precisely around PLL before trying to expose it can save you if you were to slip as it might save you from cutting through the trace that is right next to it. If you cut that trace it's all over and the system is dead unless you do a trace repair. Also advisable to heat shrink around the resistor in case of shorting against the shield. If you destroy post 1 you can recover by tapping in on the otherside of the board with a postfix adaptor. I don't think there are alternative points for the other three unfortunately. Trinity is the easiest install, early corona not too bad either.

[@josh_wink]

I've been thinking of doing this for awhile and the Pico flash method you did with pins is actually very smart. I may have to try that!

[@urmie]

Any chance you do a video on must download 360 games that are not BC before the store gets shutdown in June?

[@jaycornu3351]

i really wish i could do this myself now, there are alot of games you just can't get anymore and id love to play them again the way i did back in the day, even some that weren't released in Australia properly would be nice to get too

[@Spoiler647]

I missed the boat on getting a lot of legacy Xbox 360 Arcade games before they were delisted because of licensing issues like the TMNT arcade game, the remade Turtles in Time and The Simpsons Arcade game so I would love this.

[@karlmee1234]

7:34 I used a fibreglass pen to remove the silk screen on mine. I was paranoid I was going to slip with the exacto knife and cut other traces or knock small components off the board if I did slip

[@EliteC64]

Used this exact mod method myself a month ago with my Corona and added a 2tb internal drive, so much content to go through after the mod not just games but collecting all Avatar items and gamer pics as well as each games DLC and title updates 😅. Also @ 10:37 ripping discs is alot easier when you use Auroras GOD disc extract script found within Auroras script install section.

[@SirJohndill]

Freestyle Dash has an option to insert the disc & start copying the disc contents without highlighting all files, it's an older custom dash I personally think it looks nicer than Aurora.

[@chtps3]

Nice video! I want to mod mine too now! Is it straight away replace the lens with exact same one or does it needs calibration? Never tried it before 😁

[@Flexondascene]

I picked up a RGH back in January of this year and I've been having a blast playing games from my childhood and games I never got to play. It's been a fun couple of months!

[@bronzin1445]

If there were any softmods for the Xbox 360 that DIDN’T require physical modification, I would do so in a heartbeat. Granted, soldering isn’t THAT difficult but you REALLY need to know what you’re doing. Half-assing it isn’t an option, it has to be on point

[@DammitJeff]

Modded 360's were always so fascinating to me, I had like 3 friends growing up around 2008-2010 that had modded Xboxes and I remember seeing their custom interfaces and thinking "man, I want one of these". The hardware modifications is what always held me back though. 😅 I have a bit more experience now with hardware mods though! I might have to give this a shot eventually.

[@randybobandy9828]

Back in 2008 you couldn't mod an Xbox if it was updated past the blades dashboard. So anyone who went on Xbox live made it impossible to mod it ever again until many years later when they found a new method to mod them.

[@johnodaz1273]

Great TechWave Video Jon(SW). Defo too much for me too do lol. Definitely a brilliant Mod, especially for the Xbox Arcade Games alone.

[@davidcohen9016]

I just re-did mine a few weeks ago as well. I hadn’t touched it in years and decided to format and start from scratch. A lot of the DLCs are hard to find now. But yes, XBLA is the main highlight of hacking it

[@Tinfoilist]

@@AndyTolly123 You have to find and download DLC packs separately, transfer them over and then activate them using homebrew software (can't remember what the specific software is called).

[@Patrick77001]

[@VIRACYTV]

You can absolutely dump the discs like normal. You go into the plugins section, I think, then you download the app for dumping 360 games.

[@chr1998is]

I modded mine a few years ago. Hardest part was the NAND read/write. Installed a RGH chip and works great, boot cycle is low as well.

[@lilkuz2005]

Aurora has scripts in the menu to rip games, you don't have to do all that manually. You also don't have to have all your xbla and og Xbox games showing with your 360 games. Using the bumpers on the controller can switch what types of games you want to play. You also can setup title updates if you want to get online with it.

[@jayrue239]

I don't remember having to use a chip when jailbreak the Xbox 360 and I did a bunch of them. It was just wires and resistors. Sure, there were manufacturered ribbion type circuit boards that you could buy, but that was just to make it easier. I always used cat 5 cable wire and resistors on all different versions of the Xbox 360.

[@sokoloft3]

The phats are just as good. It depends on which motherboard revision you get. Ideally you get a tonasket, not a xenon/zephyre. As you said though, RGH 3 is extremely hit or miss on phats, so you want to do RGH 1.2 using a mod chip. I've used coolrunners on both my tonasket and xenon (xenon got all new capacitors and is the good gpu). You can also use dirtypico to flash the mod chip timings. The trinity slims are the easiest to RGH tbh.

[@insultobot]

Can you still take it online? How about local system link with XB1 or XSX?

[@44davewright]

For those new to board level work, a little hot glue is great on wires left in place. Hot glue comes off with isopropyl too

[@CageSideLondon]

Easiest Mod I found and done personally was to flash the disc drive, and then download ISO files and then patch the games, and finally burn via ISO Burn on DL discs. Definitely a good mod which was also simple by probing the drive.

[@randybobandy9828]

It all depends. I had 2 modded Xbox 360s back in 2008. First one was just a DVD mod that made it possible to play burned games, that you could play online with. The second was a jtag modded Xbox and it had custom backgrounds,homebrew games, the ability to have all the Xbl arcade games for free and you could also run all your disc games off of a external hdd. This was NOT ok to go online because you risked it getting banned and if you updated the system it would unmod your Xbox because you needed a Xbox that still had the blades dashboard since the firmware updated a patch to stop xboxs from being jtag modded. Unfortunately it got RROD and I havent bothered to fix it but I want to at some point.

[@cameronnewman9208]

Dev mode is amazing!

[@KingSora909]

Stupid question but I was wondering why haven't they done this with the newer Xboxes yet by putting the music player that was on the 360 the new Xboxes the one where you can rip music on your 360 and then it would be installed on your Xbox 360 so if I insert a disc I can rip the music onto it and it would show all the names on there of each song that's one thing that I don't understand why they don't have that on the newer consoles for the series X because honestly I thought that was the coolest feature for Xbox 360

[@ChfHappySack]

Doing the RGH 3 mod is the ultimate way to preserve and play xbox 360 titles. With subscription services and streaming being the norm, soon you won't be able to purchase/own games, only rent them indefinitely. I for one, want to own my games FOREVER. As it should be. Mark my words, the gaming industry as a whole is trying to create a monopoly. They're already a good chunk of the way there by making the Series S and PS5 digital.

[@espressomatic]

The trend is everything being released for Windows. PS and XBOX are PCs. There's little to nothing custom about them other than security so Sony and MS don't lose their shirts selling the hardware below cost.

I'm hoping that eventually, a soft mod method is discovered

[@Klynch111]

I feel if there was a way of soft modding the 360 it would have been discovered long before now. considering we have had 2 gens release after this, it would have been out already. I do have my og Xbox soft modded and it's great. Would def love to be able to do it with my 360 but I don't have any tech knowledge to solder etc

@@Klynch111 you're probably right, but I'll hold out hope

Ninja blade was one of my favorite 360 games. Have it there and on steam. Not perfect but a fun game.

Guys give me advice. I have a rog ally. But i was gonna buy retro consoles. I want to condense my set up. I already have xbox sx and ps5. I was gonna buy a wii, wii u. Gamecube. Ps2, ps3, psp, ps vita, 2dsxl 3dsxl, xbox 360. And og xbox. Which consoles can i skip? Me and my wife are into gaming and really love the classics all offer

I prefer original hardware too, and using mods to load backups of games to play them. I’ve had too many problems with emulation so I stopped even trying that!

Seems the Xbox 360 is still one of the most complicated consoles to mod. Ninja Blade is a fun game. Definitely comes across as a Ninja Gaiden clone, but not quite as good. Better than NG3 though.

I'm not up to the mod so I just bought a jtag modded one for like $150ish USD on eBay. Well worth it. So awesome. Aurora is super clean and easy to use. Awesome system.

There’s a lot of old 99 cent 360 games that I would play again there’s a game called (I made a game with zombies in it) but probably wouldn’t be able to bring back Gotham City imposters because it was only online

[@ancientwind1]

could I do this with a raspberry pi 4 instead of the pico?

Still love my 360 and kinect bowling

TLDR: I recommend the Xbox 360 Elite over the Slim. In terms of which 360 model is best for modification, here's my experience for what it's worth. I've modded two 360's, a Slim and an Elite. The fat elite has a Jasper mobo and the Slim is Trinity. I tried to set them up as similar as possible and from my experience the fat old girl is better than the slim. It runs far cooler (I changed the thermal paste in both), and therefore quieter. Although the slim has quieter fans than the fat, they obviously need to run faster to keep it cool. Aurora dash loads faster and runs more smoothly on the fat, and I also had some difficulty getting some XBLA games running on the slim due to security checks. This might vary for other people and perhaps I set things up wrong on the slim, or maybe that matches other people's experience.

Jaspers have actually proven to be more reliable than slims in more recent years. afaik the eDRAM wasn't made as well and is starting to go bad on some of them, which causes E82 (E74 for slims).
