    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    I've seen the Wasabi360 which looks pretty sweet, but it's a bit expensive and it's probably impossible to unban my 360 anyway, but I digress. Oh well. I heard it's possible to extract something from the NAND of another 360 though and use that to unban your console. So couldn't you do that with...

    Hacking Best media player for 360?

    That's great news, ploggy. I never used MPlayer but it's great to see that XviD and h.264 should play out of the box, and MKV files. Also, that multi-emulator homebrew is very interesting. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    I hear you can, but you'll need a dual NAND. This essentially turns your console into two Xbox 360s. You can boot into the non-RGH NAND to use Xbox Live, or you can boot into the RGH NAND for homebrew, custom dashes, booting from the HDD, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong though, guys. Of course...

    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    Isn't there any software like Modio that can remove this data? To my knowledge, save games from offline play don't have timestamps. Thus, would it not be possible to keep my profile on my PC and just extract the data I want using Modio (new games and associated achievement data), and inject that...

    Hacking Best media player for 360?

    The few times I've asked about this, I've usually been told to just stream it using the functions already available, but I don't like having to keep my computer switched on to play a film, etc, or the limited functionality of Windows Media Centre. I've searched Google a lot of times and heard...

    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    Okay, removed the mention of aforementioned site. Indeed, the underground sister of it is a great site, too! :D Okay, I understand about Castle Crashers. I guess I can just edit the save in the JTAG release to be the same as my old stats (as far as I can remember them). I assumed profile sharing...

    Hacking Free European 360 flashing service.

    My dashboard is apparently 2.0.14719.0. So I assume my 360 is just about good for this. Do you (or anyone else) have any HDD recommendations? As long as I stick to the size requirements, should any work properly? Also, would you be able to transfer the games/DLC I purchased? (If not, it's not a...

    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    Right, I'm with you now, thanks. Actually, I use (removed, as recommended by Fudge) as my gaming tracker which has been very reliable. A lot of the games are scene releases although many are not. What kind of benefits would I get from profile sharing? Due to its aesthetic values and ease of use...

    Hacking The difference between standard backup releases and JTAG/RGH releases?

    So, I have around a hundred retail games and many XBLA/indie games, and I'd like to download backups. I would like to know the difference between those that are labelled as JTAG/RGH releases and just standard backups. I understand that a standard backup would typically contain an ISO file. Can't...

    Hacking Free European 360 flashing service.

    I might be interested in your RGH service and I'll give you an extra tip too. But I know RGH will require some extra hardware. I'm new to the 360 modding scene so I'm not so sure what the names were. Coolrunner or something? I was in touch with somebody who I was going to pay a good sum of...

    Hacking Is there any way to Unban an Xbox?

    Thanks for the tips, and given what you've said I think I'll use my future RGH'd 360 for offline use. That said, I did read about moving profiles using a USB stick from a modded 360 to an unmodded one working for updating gamerscore, but I'm not sure how much truth there is to that. Not a chance...

    Hacking Is there any way to Unban an Xbox?

    Hmm. Well, I did contact some guy called Monoxide about modifying my 360 for RGH but he hasn't got back to me. There's another guy who is selling an RGH 360 so I could sell my own I guess. He said he'd add an extra NAND for some extra cash, but I'm starting to think it's not worth it now. Mainly...

    Hacking Is there any way to Unban an Xbox?

    With a dual NAND would I be able to play the backups on my external hard drive through the original dashboard (in other words, the unbanned NAND) that I installed via FreeStyle or would I have to use the original discs? Would it also be possible to be alerted immediately when Microsoft sends out...

    Hacking Is there any way to Unban an Xbox?

    Is it possible to get a NAND dump from an old phat 360 for my Slim model? I'm going to guess no.
