If you are taking additional beta-testers, I'm ready to open up my 360 and mod the drive. I've installed numerous X3s for various folks so I'm fairly handy with electronics.

Genius.
This part I'm lost on. What is popping out of the red circled vent holes? Is that what the outer part connects to the PCB board? Kind of hard to see.

well, the reasons have been discussed in great detail and progres reports have been posted many times. It's all there for you to read if you cared to.

Gj Xecuter, now lower the price.. $70 is still too much for this unit.
once again I dont set the price - the retailers do. At $70 they've pre-sold a combined total of 30k units so someone out there thinks its worth it. There will always be products that someone thinks is too expensive or someone has absolutley no need for. That's fine, I have hundreds of thousandsof users who like one product I do and hate another - thats the beauty of a free market.Please, if you can manufacturer this cheaper then I will buy from you.

what is this stuff? what exactly is the hack?
Its not a hack. Use the search button on these forums or goto www.team-xecuter.com and read about the Blaster360.

They're using 2x2 headers to go through the holes.. Pretty innovative

Still a nice product, though.
Post by: rrg on February 02, 2007, 01:12:00 PM
Be sure to take some temps before and after the install.
Other than that it looks good and very OEM.

Nice. So the multiplexer's bandwidth is 3.0Gbps or higher and it has automatic failover?

and its a pain in the ass having to disassemble the damn thing every time a new firmware comes out.
True if you have a hitachi drive you only need to flash it once seeing as other than slightly better
media detection by maximus and firmware stealthing, nothing much has seemed to change in
GaryOPA's firmware since the 2.1 version and the last release 2.3 v 2 was quite a while back.
It still does not use stealth media features, does not run single layer (xbox1) dvd's,
has no variable speed firmware, no disc lock-on, no open tray fixes, no firm-guard
(although it does have some kind of stealthy option) whereas every samsung firmware
adds something new to the mix.
People with PC DVD drives that have Kreons firmware will probably only ever use this
device for flashing their 360, in which case it's a lifesaver for samsungs but for
Hitachi's its a waste of money.
On the other hand it is useful for both hitachi and samsung drive owners
for ripping original games to the PC if they haven't got a PC DVD drive that
has Kreons firmware on it. Otherwise they would have to disassemble the 360
each time they get a new original game.

Very nice, Team Xecuter. You have done a very good job at modding the hell out of the DVD-ROM drive of the Xbox 360. Now, when are you going to start to mod the Xbox 360 itself?
In all honesty that area of dev has been pretty stagnent - until last week. I'm proud to say a discovery was made by a freind of ours (and the scenes) but not by any one of our (Xecuters) pretty cool stuff. You should know where to look.

Cool. Is this TS's HDD hack or something else?
Post by: phrozenfeonix on February 03, 2007, 03:32:00 AM
And about the 360 hacking, I'm fairly certain they're referring to the NAND reading that's been going on, for the 16mb (2MB) chip, that stores the southbridge instructions. Fairly similar to the tsop if I'm not mistaken?
Post by: dreamboat10 on February 03, 2007, 01:43:00 PM
If so then count me in.....good work either way.

It was 4am and i guess i didn't see the third picture
Anotther concern is right here: The case, is it supposed to look like that when it's all done? doesn't look like it's lining up quite proper.

Xecuter can't crack the 360, so they need more beer money so they are pushing this crap out of a nasty Taiwanese slave-labour factory.
if a company makes 5 great products, then 100 crap ones, you fanboys would still be praising them.

So since it doesn't come right out and say you can back up your originals in the product description on team executer's or divineo's web site, and even though I read it was delayed to perfect dumping for backing up originals
Can this be used to backup originals?
