I don't mean to act holier than thou about this, but man it's depressing to realize how many people bought jtags and/or jtagged it themselves, simply to do cod lobbies. I didn't realize how bad it was until the ping patch came out and then xlink started to pick up. So many people have no idea how to do even the simple things like using xellous, how to create a freeboot image, and even what knowing what the root of a drive is. I keep finding myself saying in my mind, "freakin A, did you really waste your money buying a jtagged system just for call of duty?" I say buying because more often than not, people who get jtags for this purpose don't usually jtag it themselves. Jtags have so much more to offer than cod lobbies and it's really depressing to see them going to waste. I say waste because once access to kv's dwindles (there are hundreds of thousands to a few million jtaggable consoles spread through the world that will never be jtagged), these jtagged 360 will end up collecting dust because the owner doesn't know its true potential. I guess it's not my money, so who am I to judge right?

On the plus side of things hopefully more cool things like fba next will come out, that emu is a powerhouse!
I just wish jtagable systems were a bit easier to find, I like playing homebrew.

Some people do find it difficult to solder though, so not everyone buys one just for COD. I found it hard and now a guy on here is doing it for me since apparently my NAND locked up and I never even read the thing (flash controller not detected) so it's not always easy.
I see it a lot on Live...rather glad they are on XLINK Kai most of them I just report/file a complaint against them on Live. You can just tell even when people laugh at you at the end of the match and they have like 30+ kills with no deaths and I just report them and leave the lobby..totally unfair but I think now I filtered sooo many I am noticing an improvement and now I'm halfway to prestige two it's better.

Also now that everything is copypasta across all sites the info is more easily acessed compared to Xbox 1 days.

although I nearly considered closing this I moved it to a more appropriate place, but asking for any help on Halo/Cod moding is against the forums rules...just a reminder.

I'm not saying everyone who buys a jtag does so because of COD. I'm saying I think it's a waste if that's the only reason why you do.

true if all they do is jtag lobbies the console could have gone to someone who would have done something usefull port of xbmc hint hint anyone
but when it comes down to it its thier money and thier console and they can do what ever the hell they want with it its like giving out about the number of banned consoles in the world and complaining because there is only about 6 people on x link in your area

That's what the ping patch is for friend. I should state: i don't care about the fact that consoles get banned, I'm only talking about the fact that users who only have jtagged systems for cod lobbies might not know the true potential of what a jtag can do.

I think people just don't buy them to do it to themselves, but to do it for others so they can profit. I have no problem with people making money off stupid people that can't play the game legit and will laugh in their face if MS ever bans them for going to lobbies, it would be hilarious someone pays for a lobby then gets their live account banned. Just play the games legit, that's the whole point so you improve your skill.

This is also why if it was up to me there would be no KV buying and selling allowed in the BST forum here.

its truly a shame. I personally dont understand the joy these people get out of boasting something they have not worked hard to earn or the unfair factor of cheap cheesy advantages in a game where its supposed to based on fair competition

On one hand, this is the main reason why you can make easy money selling your keyvaults. I bought 10 scrap mobos on ebay, oven baked them for a few hours, and then jtagged the system and made some fast cash.
but on the other hand, it gets really annoying when you offer to jtag a system and then get hammered with questions about game modding. It really pisses me off. One time a guy called me on the phone and talked with me for half an hour about his MW2 money making scheme. Next time I wont be as polite, and just hang up.
It is true, most people dont seem to care about the emulators and homebrew apps. Although to be honest, the only things I care about are moving along very slowly, and while I am glad for the progress that has been made, it is kind of depressing. All I really want my jtag to do is to be able to play games, movies, n64 games, and music right off my hard drive. I think it will get there eventually but it will be a long time before its up to snuff
There has also been an influx of noobs wanting jtags to play the leaked halo reach

I'd seriously be better off working at McDonald's than wasting my time with this 360 shit. I can see myself dropping off 200 JTAG boards at the e-cycle depot in a couple months, fuck it all! Selling KV's is the ONLY thing that made me a little bit of money over the past few months, I honestly don't give a shit what they do with it as long as they don't screw me around. I don't use live or even have high speed internet!

I'm up to my eyeballs in JTAG consoles and boards that I cant sell for a decent price or without people asking if they can host lobbies or do I supply MW2 files or some shit. I don't know or care to know anything about that crap. Half the time when I do sell something the fuckers try and double cross me with BS disputes and chargebacks to get their money back.

I am not into the Jtag seen at all and all the cheaters on COD really make me angry. My question is with the Jtag consoles can you still use them to stream Media Center content? Also does anyone know if they have emulated Super Techmo Bowl? I would buy one just to play that.

I am a believer that people can do whatever they want with what they bought, but I agree a 100% with you on the opinion. I remember in the xbox one days the enthusiasm was different, it was more people giving up on xbox live to turn their xbox 1's into media centers or playing classic games on their newly modded system. However I think after 2-3 years of the xbox 360 being considered as a non homebrew friendly system (before the whole jtag thing happened) it drove a lot of the original crowd away.
On the plus side of things hopefully more cool things like fba next will come out, that emu is a powerhouse!

that not entirely true about the xb1, i knew a lot more people who bought the most expensive chip they could find, paid someone twice again that much to install it, all so they could buy bootleg games from someone (most never even replaced the MS dash)

Also every chip I have seen as it where it can be installed so that the xbox can be boot with the chip off and some softmods allow you to dual boot.
The cheaters in those lobbies are just little spoiled kids that dont really respect anything and that are to lazy to work for anything.

I totally agree. Gimme Gimme Gimme!!! That's all you ever hear. They think everything will just be handed to them cause they grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth. It's one thing to leech off of others with no contribution and keep quiet, but it's another when you wine and cry about it because your not getting enough. It's kinda sad watching the scene go the way of baby's and lazy MOFO's that don't want to get job's. I miss the day's when it was all about the fun.

I love homebrew for all that makes it great. But every JTAG I have put up for sale has had, what sound like, an 8 year old little chav that has absolutely no idea about the privilege and what an honor it is to have such a rare item.
Besides the fact they can't be bothered to learn and do the project themselves, which I think it half the fun, they then want you to add HDD, install apps, customise COD files FOR THEM and include them in the sale and then they don't even know how to run the lobbies! I actually offered to buy one back off one little prick because he asked me to explain the WHOLE process of lobby hosting after he received the console! Do these knob-eyes just hear about it on the playground, ask mummy n daddy for a load of money and expect everything handed to them?! One lad rang and just said this "I got 200 quid off me mum for a JTAG and I want everything required to do lobbies", to which I just put the phone down.
It got to the point where I didn't even care about making money from selling JTAGs and now I have them piled up ready to sell only to grateful people who see my JTAG and are interested in homebrew. There are plenty of enthusiasts out there like us but they cant get their hands on the JTAGs OR the info because the little faggots have bought and banned all the KVs and if they do look for JTAG info all they get is "MW2 LOBBIES PRESTIGE $9.99" crap everywhere.
I hate them. They are destroying the JTAG scene, its reputation, XLink numbers and the chance for other genuine fans of homebrew to get involved. I hate them all.
</RANT>
On a lighter note anyone who is in the UK and will treat one of my JTAG babies rightly I have some for sale
