So I don't anything about modded xboxs really.
Anyone know a good site for info the sticky here is a little old.

Is there a special program for burning isos?
Can they be installed to the harddrive?
etc

I don't plan on playing online so that doesn't matter.
I know I can't get dlc.
Is it like with wii where I shouldn't do the updates on disc?
Thanks for any help

 

Update can be installed, no worries about bricking or anything.

 

The disc is required when playing the game installed on hard drive... the pros of this is speed increase (or decrease if there is one) and no noise from the dvd drive as they are loud. I am unaware if the disc spins slowly, read from both or what not, but it does read from HDD for sure, and the disc drive is silent.

 

Some people like the best of both worlds and get 2 Xbox360s - one virgin for playing online (the Slim model would actually be good for this) and one for all your hacking/modding needs (the older versions are better for this).

 

I'm not aware of this either. Last I heard was that it has been hacked from a repable soure and a poc vid has been uploaded. But Im not sure if it is a hardware hack or firmware hack. Nothing has been released either... that I'm aware of.

 

I would get ABGX360GUI and verify the ISO (all green upon verification) before burning. It will also automatically create a .dvd file to create the proper layer break. Get the best burning media available (Verbatim is the prefferred brand) and burn at 2.4x speed (some people burn fast and have had no problems but it is not recommended).
