Hacking i have no idea where to start

[battlecoat]

first things first. i have a falcon 360 running kernel 13599.

my disk drive died and i figured since i'm already gonna be inside the damn thing i may as well mod it out. my question is this: if i cant jtag it, and i want to get XeXmenu running on it...... what do?

is there any way to get either XeX or something with similar functionality working without having to construct some draconian wire maze inside?

and if possible, is there a way to install using a usb jumpdrive? the only info i could find was all written before they allowed usb storage and i dont know if its changed anything.

ps: this is my first attempt at a 360, please be explicit.

since you are up to 13599 the only thing that has any potential for you is the recent reset glitch:

Pretty sure you're going to have to construct a 'draconian wire maze' regardless.
