. I have all the bits ready to go for the xD card mod and Freeboot but I'm waiting to see what XBReboot updates get released. For now I'll just continue gaming on the unmodified Live 360.

Similar to the xD mod, but I just used a second flash chip from an RROD 360
My next project is to use a microcontroller to switch NANDs, maybe implement USB->SPI flashing and temperature readouts in the near future

I'd really like to see a homebrew soft to read/write (maybe even edit the image of/for) the NAND from within the 360. Would really make many things easier.

I had XBR on a Xenon (original NAND, which will get XBR again as soon as the freezing issue is handled) and I have freeboot on a Jasper16 with Cygnos V2.

lflash is already here and runs ON the 360?!

Im planing to enter in the homebrew scene but for an 15 old guy like me its a little bit hard, homebrew on the wii and the psp is mucha easier=/
I was your age when I did my first mod and installed homebrew stuff with the original xbox, now I'm almost 21 and I wouldn't say this is easy, neither it's hard. It just takes some courage to take your xbox apart and abuse it like that
and if you don't have soldering skills, you can always let someone else do it for you
Hint: always look for someone who can solder but not interested and/or doesn't know anything about this homebrew stuff, they'll do it cheaper
back on topic, I installed XBReboot on my falcon two weeks ago and updated to the latest one as soon as it hit xbins, used the Gentoo Live CD this time around though

Played Halo 3 ODST system link Co-Op with my room mate for 2 hours last night with no freezing, no problems at all
Still can't get GTA4 to load though, it always freezes at the copyright screen (and yes I have my clock set lol)

both my boxes arnt able but not sure i would bother to be honest, seems like a bit of a headache just to play emulators and such... maybe when theres something i would actually use regularly, wat would be awsome is a program like xbc or kai but runs off ur box!

Sorry if these questions have been answered before, I havent gone through every single thread related to the homebrew hack.

If your only goal is to pirate games, you'll never get the point of Homebrew.

How is it people can play games off a hdd? You mean an external 500gig - 1tb drive or just the standard 360 hdd? If this is possible how can anyone play any of the newer games? I thought the only way you could play some of these newer games (gta:lcs, borderlands, cod:mw2) was by updating the dashboard which made this hack more or less useless. So everyone with this hack can or cant play any of those games? Ive been under the assumption you couldnt play any newer games unless you updated, which made homebrew useless to me at least. Ive been using my computer for emulators for years and didnt see a point not being able to play the new games just to play emulators and older games (pre fall 09).
Sorry if these questions have been answered before, I havent gone through every single thread related to the homebrew hack.
The hack already includes the latest dash so you won't have to go through the update process, burning of fuses, etc. So unless ms releases a newer dash, you can run all the latest games just fine. That's the whole point of the hack really: reboot to the latest dash using the jtag exploit

Unfortunately, buying XBLA games is now an obstacle, and many users may end up just pirating them.
(here's to rolling the dice for a better exploit)

Not sure if it's possible, and in no way do I want to hijack or change this topic but which method works best? Which is easiest to do?

Then it was released like 4 days later lol
I just hope the homebrew gods are smiling down upon us and a new exploit is somehow found.

For now, I will never mod my 360 because it is lame compared to what you could do with the original Xbox. If you want to pirate games then go right ahead. But for me running linux and turning my 360 into a better multimedia machine than the original Xbox is a loftier goal than just pirating games.
Absolutely agreed.
It was well worth modding the original Xbox and that is the reason I still use it as a secondary media centre. It was also justifiable with all of the fantastic homebrew apps and emulation.
I really don't feel the need to mod if the biggest advantage is to play copied material. I always argued that my reason for modding all of the consoles in previous generations was to play import discs, as this was in line with my rights as a consumer regarding choice, and it was also upheld by the courts, but now it is a far more shady area.
My 360 is not and will probably never be modded as long as there is no technological gain to me. Plus, most games are released within a short time window internationally, compared to just a few years ago and those games which are not generally turn out to be region free anyway (e.g. Ghostbusters).
So, I cannot presently think of a legally justifiable or advantageous reason to mod.
My Wii IS modded so that I am able to play all regions of Wii titles and GC games.
My PS3 is NOT modded as it is region free to start off with. If there is ever a good multi region hack for PS and PS2 games released then I will consider it.
Plus, I just can't be bothered with the 'cat and mouse' with microsoft and LIVE mod detection just to play a so called 'backup'
What was originally an exciting area of innovation has devolved into nothing more than a vehicle for piracy.
I know how to mod a 360, it's incredibly easy but I'm simply not interested and although numerous people ask me to do it I refuse to, even though I repair RROD and drive problems and it is a logical step.
The results of the Poll speak for themselves. That would be very different if it was six years ago and we were talking about the original Xbox.
