I've always been surprised with how small the 360 modding scene is. It feels like the end-all be-all system for modding. A powerful system that can emulate most OG xbox games pretty well seems like the xbox og plus. Hopefully it'll become more popular in the coming years.
I think if someone ever found and published a softmod, it would bust the doors wide open for a modding scene. It's just that soldering is too high of a barrier for entry for too many people; not only is it a new skill you have to learn and practice in advance, it also means you can't just mod it with stuff lying around the house (e.g. an SD card or flash drive).
RGH 3 improves things in that it lowers the cost and greatly simplifies the installation, but I don't think the scene will ever be as big as the Wii/PS3/etc until there's a no-solder solution. Maybe one day someone will find one...
The PS3 is much easier to mod and can play PS1/2/PSP games + its own library of games. So, that's the 7th gen system of choice for most console modders. (except the Wii of course). The 360 just doesn't really offer much over the PS3 for people who want to mod.
pretty sure it doens't emulate OG Xbox but runs those games natively
@@CrocoDylianVTit does emulate. OG is x86 whilst 360 is PPC
Probably because laughing stock consoles like the Wii U and 3DS are in super high demand and have some really powerful albeit immature CFW. And can both play 3 generations of games natively (AGB, DS, 3DS, GCN, Wii, WiiU) and emulates the others handily. 360 is very hard to mod unfortunately and doesn't really have these features
I can only hope that the 360 Marketplace closing next year means that more people will work on creating a softmod for the 360. I don’t exactly fancy taking apart my 360e.
Same here im almost tempted it do a send in to get it modded
Lol, in your dreams buddy
@@parknich081actually one can in deed create a soft mod for 360. How ever the hyper visor is the problem hence why soldering is still the most effective way of modding the 360. … the soldering bypasses the hyper visor and the keys to the console.
@parknich081 you think people cant find a way to softmod? people will do it lol. it takes time but people will
@@TylerTMG I feel like they would have by now so I've kind of given up hope on it. Then again the ps2's dvd hack came up 19 years after the ps2's release so who knows.
Something to note is, because you were already RGHed you could pull the nand and reflash entirely through software before tearing it down, bypassing the extra soldering.
If only you could remove it it easlily
Dude i was gonna say i don't remember RGH being this easy, and ofc hes fucking leaving shit out so he can have his clickbait title
@@seadffsa I mean, the RGH itself is still 2 wires, you just need something else to flash the chip.
@@tOSdude how does that fucking change anything? You can’t make a one step title if it’s not a fucking one step project that’s just fucking bait
@@seadffsa OP was just suggesting an easier method since Matt already had his Xbox modded, but Matt did it the hard way, and did all of the necessary steps that anyone just getting into RGH3 would have to do. Don't get mad until you actually understand whats going on. I do still agree its a clickbait title though lol.
I just wanna say, this could absolutely have been a main channel video. I'm glad I subscribed to the bytes channel to not have missed it!
Thought it was until looking closer. Huh
It's interesting seeing the 360 running outside of the case. Not something you see very often.
I recommend ticking the optional box for usbdsecpatch when flashing back the modified NAND at the end (so not at the xell install step but the one after that). Lets you use unauthorized controllers. Everything from DIY arcade controllers to any third party controller (e.g. 8bitdo, gulikit) with an xinput mode and you can even use the Wii Guitar Hero guitars if you get an adapter for them, then use them to play Rock Band. You can also set your disc drive to play movies (not games) from any region instead of just the region you're from in one of the deeper settings areas, so I started doing that as well before flashing, though admittedly I've never taken advantage of that feature.
Can this be used to connect modern xbox controllers to it? I got an Xbox One controller to turn an unmodded console on but it doesn't do any more than that
@@Mr_Lesbian I don't have an Xbox One controller to test with but I have an Xbox Series controller and it sadly did not work without an additional adapter. You can use a Mayflash Magic NS 2 set to Xinput mode and then connect wired and then it will work. There are probably other adapters that would work too, but I tested with that one specifically. You can also use these adapters to make something like a DualShock 4 work.
From what I can tell you just want something that pretends to be an Xbox 360 controller when you plug it in, and with the controller security disabled it can't tell it's not a real one. Luckily that's already how a lot of third party and custom controllers work on PC.
holy crap thats awesome to know especially for the guitar hero controllers!!!
Would be interesting to see if it supports stuff like Nacon PS4 Controllers (Many of their controllers use XInput, despite being a PS4 controller)
not that it's hard to update your flash using xell, but there's always some risk to doing so (say your power goes out or you flash a bad image). done it enough times to feel "safe" doing so but we get wanting to do it right the first time :P
rgh3 is fairly easy to perform, but take it slow, dont rush and just be aware of what you are doing, be careful with you iron placement, use flux and good leaded solder wire, use a nicely small tip at a higher temp (325 C), and just be careful.
Then it’s not fairly easy
@@itsjuankit isn't easy or hard it's sort of meh. What is hard is having patience to do it.
@@palehound1100 That really depends on your experience.
I've heard some horror stories of people trying to mod their 360, because they just didn't have any experience of using a soldering iron.
I remember my first RGH success, it was the morning of Christmas Eve 2013 and it was weirdly one of the most confidence boosting experiences of my life. Ten years later and I now do some really cool stuff with Pi’s that I wouldn’t be able to do if I never wrecked 3 xenon’s and 1 corona before getting a successful corona. Still works and gets played regularly for Skyrim.
I was hoping you were gonna show the new pi pico RGH but this one’s better. Gonna try it later.
Pico rgh is real bad in terms of boot times and reliability. It only works on 1 motherboard revision and nobody is working on it. The only way it can be a good alternative is when people work on it and make it boot more reliably and add more motherboard support, and even then it would only be usefull on phats because rgh3 can be real funky on them
.
Sounds like me but with the og Xbox I still have but doesn't boot to xbmc or Kodi as they call it now. Funny how it went from softmodding software to every damn platform out there. I knew I found gold back then. It was streaming before streaming was a thing. Man those were the days I learned so much. Never messed with a Pi but I want to now
My RGH 1.2 had good boot times, but recently it started to take longer to boot. I've planned to resolder the chip and clean it to see if it makes boot times better again, so I'm glad I came across this video because I'm gonna get rid of the chip and do this. Great video!
If its a phat, keep the chip and use the latest method for RGH 1.2 V2. Same boot times as RGH 3 when you get the timings right, which doesn't take long at all
If Slim Trinity do RGH 1.2 V2 with a matrix chip if Phat do RGH 1.2 with a coolrunner
did you do it? how did it go? I have a coolrunner chip and it takes upto 15 min sometimes to boot
@@grady8658why the RGH 1.2 for Trinity? Does RGH 3 not work for it?
Just last week I did RGH3 on my own Corona 360. Installed a 2tb HDD and added loads 360, XBLA, and OG Xbox games on it. I absolutely love it.
How ?
@@carlmorgan688I mean bro basically showed ya in the vid without showing if you really pay attention 💀
I have always wanted a modded 360 ever since I was a kid. I'm glad you talked about the difficulty at the end, because this video made it seem relatively easy at first 😂
Right there with ya. I did an og Xbox with soft mod n a mech warrior disk
Ive never been an xbox guy but i got a deal on a jtag 360 and it changed me
Yes & u can buy them for 40 bux im certanly gonna get a few
@@mikejett2733 if that were true then I would have already
Being an RGH installer years ago, this is absolutely an amazing find! I'm surprised the scene are still finding new ways. Time to get out my RGH installs & convert them. 😁
If you want to save some time converting an RGHed console to RGH 3, just use the existing retail NAND dump to build the RGH 3 XeBuild image and then install it with Simple 360 NAND Flasher via USB. That way you just have to install the RGH 3 wiring, and you're done
I came here to say this and I would definitely recommend doing this over an external flasher for those who don’t want to solder additional wires or those who don’t have a flasher because they purchased their console premodded.
Watching this 15yrs later after going through JTAG mod on my 360. Cool to see that the scene is still trying to make it easier to mod the 360.
There is a pinhole right where the small xbox 360 sticker is. Sim eject tools can pop it open. Makes it a lot easier.
I super appreciate how concise you made the video. I know a lot of youtubers want to get extra ad rolls for extra revenue. You gave us all we need to know and the links to the really technical aspects. You should make a yt short for it too. you start pumping those out and you can grow this second channel alot. cover some of the stuff that macho nacho studio shows, but make it in shorts format and you should grow quick. thanks for the content. I already have an RGH3 360 but if I run across a cheap corona, Ill prolly attempt this mod myself, Im far from the best solderer, but Ive done the LCP rebuild on 1.6 regsboxes a few times, so getting a 360 under my belt would be cool.
Very cool! I used to make and sell RGH consoles over a decade ago. Very interesting to see folks still advancing and simplifying the process. I saw this hit my feed. I had to click it because I could not believe a two wire mod. Very interesting to see after all these years. If only it was 2011 again.
Love your modding videos and retro tech restorations
This video gave the motivation I needed to mod my 360, this two-wire setup (plus the NAND solder points) is not easy, but is simpler than using a glitch chip, I used a Raspberry Pi Pico for NAND write and it worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot for the video! 👨🏻💻
I keep wondering if this console is really impossible to softmod, or if no one has ever tried hard enough.
I do these mods, the title makes it sound easy, only 2 wires! but is anything but easy lol. Great video
Octal published several tutorials regularly since two years ago. The best method for the rgh 3.0 is to use voltage regulators at 1.2v so there's no chance of the gpu or the hana frying each other.
Man! I remember opening my Xbox 360 slim up, to mod gta 4 via hot swapping. I was 12 years old at the time and had no clue how to connect wires to a motherboard. Man time sure flies as I’m 22 now. Thanks for the video!
I actually did this on my Trinity model a few weeks ago (took a total of 2 weeks to get it done, as I had to keep taking breaks to think and relax when something wasn't going right). I ended up actually accidentally soldering the wire to the wrong pin that you scrape the silkscreen off, and took so many days trying to troubleshoot to figure out why I was getting a red ring of death. I also ended up tearing the socket out of one of the pins (I think it's the one closest to the corner) and ended up needing to patch a bunch of wires to re-complete the circuit that was damaged. All in all though, once I figured out my mistake I got the xbox put back together and my Frankenstein-esque xbox that needed to be resoldered multiple times finally started working. The xbox gets a little warm, I might need to redo the thermal pasta again lol.
I'm liking it Matt. I'll surely be ordering the parts and modding my X360 once my I have a little more experience from soldering kits.
a new mattkc video after a tiring day is just so refreshing
For anyone reading this, the pins below the CPU, diagonal circled set of pads he soldered too.. if you plan on attempting to do any kind of RGH method be VERY delicate with that pad in particular.. it will cause an INSTANT RROD if the trace is damaged or burned.. also @MattKC i would recommend toning down the heat on the iron you where getting pretty hot on that pcb
This might finally convince me to actually mod my 360 😅, im not great at soldering yet, but this might be good to try
Same here. Waiting for enough courage😅
Nice inside into XBox modding. For me, who never owned any console in youth, running a PC emulator like Xemu or Xenia does the trick just fine. Of course saving old original hardware is always great :)
Always wanted to mod mine as a kid but thought it was too difficult. Had no clue it got this easy.
Cool. I had a modded Xbox 360 back in 2009. Unfortunately it red ringed. It did give me a chance to test out allot of games however. Kind of like game pass does now. I've considered doing mods on more of my consoles. I did softmod my PS2 just for the fun of it. However I generally end up collecting allot of games at the end of a generation so I have all the games I would have played on the system had I modded it. Except emulators of course, but I have that covered on PC :D
For the difficult side of the case where the label/warranty seal is, there is a pinhole in the plastic case behind the label you can push a bent paper clip through to pop the second clip. This has made opening slims so much easier for me. You just have to run your finger/thumb over the label to find the intention and puncture it first with the paper clip. It’s smooth sailing after that.
I have to say I love the Video. Great explaining all around! I've modded 50+ 360s in my time and just felt like I needed to share my 2 cents.
Sadly not all 360 models accept RGH 3 that readily, but the Slim Models are usually a good bet. Depends on which one you got of course, if you got a late Corona Revision, the Post Point on the Board will not be there, because Microsoft wised up and put it under the CPU. You will need an adapter to solder to that clamps onto the CPU and punches a small needle into the new point. Also the newer models (The 360 E) are not moddable, because the Winchester Board is built pretty much bulletproof. Best 360 to Mod currently is a very early Corona or a Trinity Model (the first Slim). They accept the RGH 3 almost all the time and you can use a Raspi Pico to flash custom Firmware on them.
Some older Models like Zephyr are a major pain in the backside to mod, they will still need a Modchip to work, if they work at all. If you want an older 360 to mod, try to get one of the very latest models like Opus or Jasper, they are usually a safe bet for RGH 3. You can tell the older models apart by the power plug on the console, if they have an HDMI Port and the Manufacturing Date on them.
I wouldn't bother with an Opus. Jaspers are really the only phat consoles worth modding, or maybe a Falcon. RGH 1.2 V2 is recommended on those over RGH 3, too. Glitch chips can be had for less than $10 these days, but you do need a JR Programmer or equivalent to program the timing file
@@Harmonic14 An Opus IS a Falcon with no HDMI afaik.
@@safetyzone2962So a Falcon V1 would be fine?
can you check ur slim mb revision using software if u have already rghed xbox?
asking cause u cant check it by power supply plug like phat ones
You're wrong on the E, there are a fair few Corona E models. I had one. The 500GB is definitely the Winchester, not sure about 250, maybe some are, mine was definitely not.
My corona is rgh 3 and it boots up literally instantly every time. I love it. My old falcon jtag was cool, because I liked the look more, but this thing runs so cool and boots instantly.
Wow, the simple elimination of the reset board is huge savings! All you need is a JR Programmer! Neat!
I also recommend using a small coax/uf.l cable (from an old laptop for instance) to shield the signal. It really does help making it super consistent.
you don't even need any specialized programmer, you can program it with a $10-15 raspberry pi pico (which you can then use as a modchip for a gamecube if you want, since you only need it to program the 360 initially then remove it)
@@coopercummings8370If you don’t mind taking forever you don’t even need that, just a computer with a parallel port.
This video made me finally look into modding my 360. Didn't know about RGH3 was a thing, and is well within my skillset to install. I didn't want to rgh since it can be fiddly with timing. My rgh3 system is pretty much instant boot.
This also made me learn how small and disjointed the scene is
Wow! I had no idea RGH3 was a thing. My RGH consoles all generally instaboot but I may have to try this out for some fun! Thanks.
I still have my RGH modded Falcon model Phat 360 with a Coolrunner-ii CPLD I installed 10 years ago. When following the forum suggestions I came across someone who used an old coaxial cable to connect CPU reset wire and got good results. I did the same and was surprised at how fast it booted compared to what others had experienced. Still boots to this day on first reset still going strong over 15 years since manufacturing despite being one of the cursed original model, though I did replace the Xclap with washers and bolts, unlike others I spent extra time getting the correct sized nylon spacers and didn't bend the motherboard with excess force.
Seems pretty easy, Ima have to try this. Thanks for the video
The case is actually pretty easy to take apart if you know what you're doing, there's a good video about it from Josh Davison (aka that guy that works on jrunner). Also the resistor is there because pll (that small point under the cpu that you had to scrape soldermask off) isn't designed to take that much power. Resistor is not needed as the power is there only for a couple of miliseconds but it's better to be safe than sorry.
I did this whole modding process like 8 times and by the end taking them apart was fairly quick/easy, but at the start I had just as much trouble as him even after watching tons of videos. You can see where the clips are, what they look like, which way to pry, but for whatever reason it just wasn't working out at first. It was like trying to recreate a magic trick. It's like you need to learn to feel it in your bones before it starts going well. I also found that once I managed to get past the clips entirely and look at them closely in person I was able to understand a bit better how they worked. It's tricky when you're doing it blind at first. I also had a couple 360s I worked on that were pretty gross and were probably held together tighter with years of gunk in the seams which doesn't help. I then took the chance to clean all the case parts in a big sink since I had things apart anyway.
@@SoundToxinWhen I started I also had some issues but if you practice enough you'll be able to open them no problem
Grrr. Your video made me remember my 360 phat days... i used to buy very cheap ones that were RRoD, then reflow then with overheat, and then use the JTAG hack on them... was fun!
So today i bought a cheap Trinity slim, one i never owned, and i will try the RGH ! Thanks Matt!
I did enjoy this one. It was exactly the right length
After watching this i went on ebay and got me a 360 slim 😅 hope this one doesn’t end up collecting dust like the PS3 ss i got for $40 (incl 2 original controllers) after watching a video on how to install HEN on it.. it seems that the jailbreaking is the interesting part for me these days, not so much gaming itself 😢
Update: console arrived, did the hack, but broke something when assembling the heatsink 😢 that X-clamp is the worst. The console would show some image on the TV and then glitch out in blue or red squares. I assumed i had cracked the solder under the CPU somehow. After watching one tutorial i decided to try reflowing with a heat gun and lots of flux. And it worked! 😄
Now I am afraid it will crack again if I put the bracket back on and screw it down. The front USB ports are sitting quite high because the bracket is bottoming out. If I screw it down, the tension would be really bad. I am thinking of leaving it with no bracket, or modifying the bracket somehow. Decided to delid the cpu, temps are around 60C while playing…
Haha man that last sentence is so accurate it hurts
I used to have a 512mb Jasper Jtag before RGH consoles started getting popular. I absolutely loved that thing, I extremely regret parting ways with it.
It's amazing this took so long to find
You are a constant source of enjoyment, you make my insomnia the most entertaining hours of my life when i am not severely depressed.
The timing is hilarious. I’m about to rgh3 my Xbox 360 this weekend
How did it go?
@@majorgear1021 this is hilarious timing lmao. I basically had no experience when going into it, and had a fixed temperature soldering iron, which really fucked things up. furthermore, the solder did not melt at the tip (since it was a cheap soldering iron), which caused me to burn the motherboard irreparably.
But two months later, I’m trying it again. Like genuinely as I write this. I’ll keep you updated haha, wish me luck.
Update: After doing the entire process on another console, it finally worked!
@@VeryCuul Congratulations!
The one goldmine industry for ‘buyers’ over sellers in the modern day is stuff like this.
Guys like me, Matt, and probably almost every other enthusiast put their blood sweat and tears into mods like this, but resell pre-modded consoles for pennies on the dollar. Cause even though it was hard work, no one’s willing to pay what modded consoles are worth in parts and labor.
Grabbing a console that someone’s already done this to for like $200 on eBay is a tempting option when it takes the cost of the console, mod chips, and soldering/mod process to get this working in the first place.
If you test the slim out of the case, like in the video. Make 100% sure the power cable is the right way... I fried a brand new slim back in the day when i was trying to muffle the sound of the disc tray/power chime, lol.
Love your videos they really good keep them up🎉🎉
Does a modded Xbox 360 slim rely on the hardddrive it had when it was modded indefinitely into the future?
I'd like to do an RGH 360 slim mod but then I also want to upgrade the 250 GB HDD with something beefier like 2 TB. Can you do that?
always good to see a new video
Man the joy my RGH gave me as a kid was insane. I remember charging people for bo2 prestige master and diamond camo when I was literally 11 years old. The stealth servers and KV's, I do not miss though lmao.
Most promising tutorial i've seen so far. Wondering if it can be done on the Elite models
Didn’t know you had a second channel bro, Insta sub
My issue with the whole Xbox 360 modding scene is that nothing is streamlined enough for a straight up beginner. People just assume you already know how to solder electronics and/or modify the firmware which a vast majority of people don’t and even this videos comes with a caveat.
Granted, modding an Xbox 360 isn’t THAT difficult but the process is just far too daunting and intimidating for someone who just simply wants to install homebrew for the sake of preservation.
Compared to the PS2 and GameCube modding scene which have become staples of the medium, the Xbox 360 scene barely a blip on the radar which is shame because the 360 has the potential to blow up the way the GameCube did with its plethora of mod support. It’s just a shame that the 360 modding scene all but gatekeeps to fully flourish and expand
I remember playing GTA V for days and days when it came out on my cousin's modded 360 with the Freestyle dashboard, such nostalgic memories... When I finally got my own 360 it was the "e" model so modding wasn't really possible, maybe it is now but I passed it on to my little brother long ago and whenever I game I pretty much only do it on PC
I just sent my console off to be RGHd and I’m so unbelievably excited. I am pretty good with computers but installing it was above my level. Keen to get as many games as possible on I t
4:19 Matt scratching off part of the PCB with a kitchen knife like a truly refined gentleman.
i really want to start learning how to solder for modding console's and installing things like the rgh or hdmi mods etc. where would you recommend to start?
I love content like this! I'll definitely give you a like and subscribe.
Technically you don’t need a jr programmer if you dump the nand from the console modify it for 3.0 and right it back then do the rewire might have been an easier process especially for the 4g corona consoles
THis is like reading stereo instructions.. you lost me but luv ya bro!!!
Ooh! That 2 wire mod somehow reminded me of the LetterBomb exploit for the Wii. (edit: in terms of relative ease compared to previous mods for the respective consoles)
Would love a video about the technical reasons why a softmod is not feasible for this system
You know, when you played multilayer games back in the day it didn't really feel like the 360 had a "small" modding community 😂
I actually enjoyed my first experience doing an rgh2.0 on one of those xbox's you had in the thumbnail (4th or 5th gen I think)
MATTKC POSTED YAY!!!!!!!!! (my fav youtuber)
also as far as glitch chip timing, it has gotten much better in the years.. also the install is VERY important for timing wire lengths etc. ive had all of my x360's boot first start up with x360 ace chips and Coolrunner clones :)
Best thing that RGH3ing my thrifted 360 taught me is that the RPi Pico that I bought to act as a flasher is a wonderfully useful device for a million other things. The console, on the other hand, I reopened again to add an audio line-out. That was like six months ago, my motivation petered out in the middle of the operation and it's still in pieces waiting for me to complete it...
Been sitting on a corona board and an ACE chip not going anywhere, I feel your pain. Don't give up or cave into buying someone else's work. The information is all out there.
@@CIA-CYBER-CRIME-DIVISION I'm the someone else whose work people buy so there's no risk of that ever happening to me :D just gotta wait till my stupid ADD brain is in the right mode again... got into tinkering on e-scooters lately and everything else sorta faded in the background
Thanks! now I can do something with my third Xbox 360!
I've had a 360 for a year or so that I was gonna send to a service to get it modded, but if the wire mod is as easy on a Jasper as a Corona, I may try to do it myself at some point! I'm still very much a beginner at soldering but it'll definitely be a later on project once I get comfortable enough. Or maybe I'll still just send it to a service, depends. I also need a bigger HDD considering I'm still running a 20GB HDD in mine lol
FYI, the super difficult to reach tab has a pinhole under the sticker, you can push a SIM card eject tool in that pinhole to release the tab super easily.
I went through a phase of buying 360's for cheap and ended up with 7 in total, some trinity slims and a couple of jasper phats and a falcon phat too. I RGH'd the phats with the chinese clone chips which was a pain in the arse tbh and when I found the chipless RGH on the slims I cranked those out so quick, they were so simple to do and cheap aswell.
I have no idea this mod existed! Awesome!
Also, did you use a *_kitchen knife_* to scrap the solder mask away?!
What a well made video, can't believe this isn't a much bigger channel!
because this is a second channel, maybe if youtube didn't remove the channels tab then that would be more obvious.
If the soldering should be only temporal, can i just put a somesort of a switch in the middle of wires so that i can break contacts without desoldering the wires?
Dude! I literally was just planning on modding my old childhood Xbox 360 and have been doing a ton of research on RGH 3 this past week. I just got all the stuff I need for it and then suddenly you made a video about it! Thank you so much
Question can all the xbox 360 version been done like this or which 360 versions will it work with
You didnt need to install the nand reader again.. you could have used jrunner to create your RGH3 nand from the original or dump from your rgh, then flash it with Xell or simple nand flasher, then just run the RGH3 wiring and your done.
I tried this a while back with picoflasher and im not *that* good at soldering so all the people i showed my failure (black screen after flashing xell) told me it was a wiring issue
definitely would wish that you wouldnt have to scrape the board to uncover a microscopic pad
I've disassembled my 360 Slim twice since i got it in 2010 and i have to say the only reason i haven't been doing it lately is because of those retention clips on the inner housing of the case, i've cut myself almost 10 times trying to unlatch them before it's infuriating but the next time i do atleast it will be worth while when i finally mod it
Can you tell us the thermal paste you use for the microchip? Great videos not seem si easy specially the firmware stuff
How did you get the old bootanim from nxe?
im really digging this channel, feels a lot like Patricia Taxxon's Puppyhelic Triangle channel. great stuff, I love this uber-compact format
360 slim shell is one of the easiet cases to open, its a clam shell, push in on the split seam and pull apart, done in seconds
great vid!
Mattyyyyy love ur videos :D but this one could have easily been on ur main channel too!
You had me going for a sec there Matt
I got an X360 this year and tbh I paid for the mod because I don't trust my welding skills, but it was really good like for $30 they provided the newest RGH, they installed it, changed the thermal paste and cleaned the console and left it up and running with Aurora and all the bells and whistles and even some games installed for a good measure, can't complain at least when you can find reliable shops to do that job for you.
Will I be able to use a swapped Disk drive with the custom Firmware without marrying it to the motherboard? I dont have the key off the old xbox drive.
Just in time. I wanted to install glitch chip for a while but in where I live it's a price of an used x360 and I would use it rarely anyways. Really cool stuff
I was so confused when I went into the channel and saw so little videos.
Did not know there was a secondary channel.
Thank you very much for producing this content.
Is this mod done via J tag and if so can you give a brief explanation of what J tag is
Do you know if there is a way to record gameplay on the 360 with a usb stick? I heard you can do that on the xbox one and x
I have modded probably 20 or so original Xbox's and just recently got back into playing with the 360. The only issue with the 360 is that it is a bit more complicated to do. It is way easier now with the simple two wire mod, but you still need a JRunner tool or similar device to program it. Homebrew is lacking on the 360, but some things can be emulated to work through the OG Xbox emulator. I am more interested in the emulation of the OG Xbox games on 360. If I can upscale all of them to 720p and still have system link support then I am considering modding 6 or so to host some LAN parties.
Thanks for making this video. i have everything soldered but the bios pin, since i need the postfix adapter for my specific xbox. Hopefully ill actually be able to use it once im done, since before it was just sitting in storage.
I had an rgh 2 from 2013-2023 when. it died I bought a 4gb corona with 500gb hddfor 50 bucks did rgh 3 and I was blown away that it was an instant boot like I’ve been hearing. For someone dealing with rgh 2 you’ll benefit sooo much from rgh 3. It made me realize I was selling myself short rgh2 is so bad in comparison I will never go back. My rgh 2 wasn’t that bad but it was hit or miss for me, sometimes I could take 5 secs sometimes it could take 30 secs
I remember flashing the DVD drives with these huge 8GB DVD+R DL (double layered) disks. I used the flashed games to do GTA 4 mods. Great times. Then i got a JTAG. I used that thing online in MW2 every single day for months. I remember buying "keyvaults" from people who took them from RROD xbox's. Then I made an RGH console. I used it online in BO2 for modded maps and menus. The services like XBL Live and NiNJA to get online. I still have all my 360 consoles. Sitting in my closet collecting dust. 😢
I got a cool runner installed into my regular 360 bit never bothered to finish soldering it in. Messing around with the wires and the NAND flasher was a significant enough PITA that I just never bothered.
I only got the power wires soldered for the coolrunner, so it just sits on the glowing away
