Im assuming, since the console isn't banned (since it never got caught in the banwave, since it wasnt on live), that GamerTags/Achiements from these consoles should work fine in an Xbox-Live console?
Console A: JTAGged. XeXloaded game. Get 1000G on Profile X.
Console B: Insert memorycard from Console A, sign on to Live, update GamerScore.

Good thing they didn't add a useful feature like "press Y to launch default.xex"
Well, in version .12, pressing 'Y' shows only .xex in a given directory...that's close.

you can also swap nands all together..
backup your large block nand... extract your config and kv
insert config/kv into appropriate 16mb bin.
remove large nand
solder in 16mb nand.
swap the proper resistors (2 resistors get moved)
flash 16mb nand
boot your arcade with XBR
QUOTE(ccfman2004 @ Dec 15 2009, 06:40 AM)

LPT method for quick reading..
dump your first 2MB (80 blocks) multiple times until you get a %100 match.
flash xell (50 blocks)
boot gentoo.
run modified lflash script to dump 512mb nand in 10minutes. dump multiple times and compare to get %100 match. DO NOT input a second bin into lflash. it will erase your nand and not write. youve been warned
reflash original 2mb (80 block)
can be done in about an hour with USB, probably 2hours with LPT.

got a brand new jasper motherboard. soooo, for the jtag hack, it has to be an old one, right?
too bad, but i won't mind buying a new xbox360 just for homebrew. it's just too awesome.
could someone point me into the right direction (-maybe a link-)?
e.g. which version is jtag-able, how do i find out, what my version is (16MB, 256/512MB NAND? and i thought i read that it's possible to jtag the new 256/512 model, too? am i wrong?)

There is really no way to tell just by looking at the xbox to determine if it's JTAG hackable.
If the dashboard version is less than 8xxx that's a start. Then you need to dump the Nand to see if the CB version is low enough so that is does not have the new bootloader that patches the JTAG exploit.
Around June to July (Date is still up for question) MS started making 360's with the new bootloader pre-installed even though the Dashboard version is low enough.
Each xbox 360 version has its own CB version to look for.
Check out www.Free60.org for more info on the JTAG hack.

Also is this xex loader only valid on non upgraded xbox 360, i think i by accidentally updgraded when call of duty modern war fare came out and i pressed upgrade to play only to find it not working because it was a dirty disc lol.
You can extract the image and put that on usb/sata hard drive.. or the xbox harddrive with a modded cable. sorry no homebrew (maybe never) if you updated with COD

It seems there is no new functionality. XEX patching would have been nice, a FTP server would have been extremely nice. I don't care about looks, so nice looking GUI isn't important, it could have been added later. I think it should be split: Launcher (which will only display the default.xexs internal name) and file manager (like it is with 0.12).
Well I've been working with the FreeXeX team on things other than the XexLoader and I can tell you that both of things have been and are continuing to be looked into, but they're not as simple as they sound. Xorloser didn't make his XexTool's later revisions open-source so everything on that part has to be reversed from scratch, and the 360 kernel automatically encrypts all network traffic, so right now a way to disable the encryption is being looked into so we can have an FTP server. Just be patient.

use Schtrom360Xtract to extract the files from a .iso image, than patch with x360gamehack and put the files on the hdd.
tools>XDVDFX XTR, check the box beside of "image name", brows to your .iso.
than brows to the place you want to extract to "extraction path"
press "Load imgage/disc", select all the folders than click on "extract"

Because the Wii isn't doing it through LPT, it's doing it through a different bus with a much higher speed. LPT is what would make it take 16 hours to dump. If you're dumping it through USB, it's considerable less, I think 15-20 minutes.
A 512MB Nand dumped over USB takes around 1 hour.

Well, I've come to know xextool in version 5.2, I don't know if older versions with available sources could do the patching too. What about that Gamehacker5.2? It is said it's based on xextool 5.2. No sources either?
Are you sure about the automatic encryption? I mean, we can play video and music from an UPNP-server. The access to that server can't be encrypted, also the server won't encrypt the data it sends to the 360, so there has to be a way around the encryption already in the original dashboard/kernel...
Another pretty neat thing would be the possibility to flash the NAND by software on the 360. As xexloader is on the way of becoming a dashboard, this could be a feature like it was back on the original xbox with EvoX. Otherwise a seperate tool would be equally good. No need for the LPT hack anymore once the box is flashed (assuming people are smart enough not to flash nonworking images!). Maybe even "smart flashing", flashing a new image around the configblock and the KV block
Also, this should be really fast!On the matter of testing images, would it be possible to transfer the image to RAM and test it before it is flashed? As far as I know the original NAND content is copied to RAM on startup, so maybe the pointers could be set to another set of kernel data and reboot?

Probably won't happen since all BC games are tailored individually for them to work in the 360.
What I would like to see someone hack the BC part and allow us to play other games since MS has clearly abandoned BC. Last update was Nov 2007.

It's an XBR issue not your console. 80% of my games are unplayable (from either my external USB drive, DVD drive or official Microsoft HDD). Most will play fine for the first level or 5-20min but then randomly freeze. It's to be expected though. It's still very early days and I'm sure there's tons of bugs to be fixed before we see a stable hacked dash. Can't really complain, it's a good taste of what's to come

so what your basicly telling me here is that ive been repairing my xbox when it was not needed at all,i used an xbox that i got from a friend that was on rrod with a hackable kernel,i gave him one of my own.
so i repaired the rrod and immediatly after that i did the jtag hack.
i put up some small games to test and they worked great;i then started to put on big games and thats when it all started...
i can play for a short period of time and then the games start to hang (especially in left4dead 2,ninja blade,batman arkham asylum and bioshock)
ive been adding fans and doing random RROD repairs for almost 2 weeks now,for nothing?
why arent we informed or what topics did i miss before i made an ass out of myself and dedicated many many hours of my time to fixing something that can't be fixed?
i just thought i had a hard#ss cold solderjoint on my hands...

why arent we informed or what topics did i miss before i made an ass out of myself and dedicated many many hours of my time to fixing something that can't be fixed?
i just thought i had a hard#ss cold solderjoint on my hands...
well my wife is going to be thrilled as i'm going to bed early today...
so if i order a cygnos then i'm good?
A Freeboot and Cygnos setup is said to be a lot more stable and not have these issues. Although I can't confirm this since I don't own a Cygnos and haven't tested Freeboot.
For now if you want to go the single NAND and XBR route then you just have to wait and hope the issues are fixed in future releases.

I can't say for certain about your particular 360 but I'd say yeah it's XBR causing your troubles. The reason I say it's XBR is due to a process of elimination (in my case anyway). I bought a brand new 60gb pro just to use for XBRebooot and it has exactly the same issues you describe. Arcade games launched directly from the dash and official HDD freeze, so I know its not XEXLoader. When flashing back to the stock nand.bin dump there are no issues playing games, so I know its not dodgy hardware. This only leaves XBR as the cause for glitchy/freezing games (that's not a complaint, I fully expect it at this early stage).

Again, I don't think so. The emulator seems to be generic. This is why I think it is:
1. Look at the download size of the final BC pack. It's small! And the size of the installed files is even smaller... and that download is for ALL supported original games.
2. If you have a hddhackr hdd and you install the final BC pack, it won't work. It'll install, yes, but the games won't start. You have to copy the compatibility dirs from an original hdd to make it work.
So my guess is that the downloads per game or of the whole package is necessary to make the original games' tricks and hacks the programmers used compatible with the emulator on per game basis. M$ will of course only allow games checked for full compatibilty to run on the 360, so no customer can complain. I think every game would run to a certain degree if the emulator was hacked to blindly start original games. So if homebrew is coded clean, the chances might be good that it runs...
Yet some game on the BC list have issues.
I hope someone hacks the BC game database so you can try to play any original xbox game.
What I should have said was that the BC pack has setting for each game so they will mostly work. Since each game reacts differently with the emulator that is why each game on the BC list has special per game setting. At least that is what I have been told.

They aren't exactly pushing for donations but they do need them. They don't even have a single devkit within the team so debugging is an absolute nightmare for them. A single devkit would speed things up significantly...
Their paypal account is [email protected] as shown in one of their videos. I put through $100 today and I know a few others in IRC have donated as well, someone put through 200Euros last night
So if you're sitting there thinking how you could help then either donate $ or donate your devkit to them

I guess that the problem isnt the Free60 - XBReboot on that console. 3rls really let you angry.
I'v have some consoles with 3rls and i worked sometime on a few boards .But no good results, a lots of 360 come back to work , dashboard runs fine , but when u really want to play a real game you get ( freezing image , e74 , 3rls and stuff ) Try a good made Clamp mod and a few ajustments and maybe u can play more without freezing or having artefacts.
Worked for me on about 8 consoles that i have
But of Course allways 1 or 2 get 3rls sometimes

Thank you for your insightful post. Feel free to PM me instead of junking up this thread.
