Ok here is said situation I was given an Xbox to fix upon fixing it I was told to keep it. After a few days I was also told that it was "modded" as it can play burned games. After getting a few games I started looking into others aspects of this whole modding thing.

A small bit of knowledge on myself I'm more of a PC and old school gamer, I know of the next gen consoles but never really bothered with them.

With that out of the way I saw a few XBLA titles that I'm rather interested in, looking into said options I heard about Jtag which I understand will allow me to play full XBLA titles without purchase and offline (I really don't care about playing a game with others) Now if anyone can shed some light on this matter I'd be grateful.

On to the questions:

Is it possible to Jtag my 360?
Is it Jtagged already being it runs burned games?
If I can Jtag it, can I do it with a transfer cable?

Any help or insight will be appreciated.

Just being able to play burned games does not make it a jtag. In order to do a jtag on it it needs to have a certain dashboard version. I can't remember the specific numbers off hand. If it comes to be that you can't jtag it you can always reset glitch hack it. Is the system a slim of phat model? Slims can not be jtaged but earlier slim models can be RGH'd. You can find you dashboard version in the system settings.

7371 is the last one that was jtagable.

Yours definitely can't be jtagged, but it can be reset glitch hacked as long as it is not a Xenon.

Reset glitch hacked? How so, and how can I find out if it's Xenon or not.

Does it have HDMI out?

Opus also doesn't have HDMI yet it's glitchable.

I think OP has to look if it is a 203w Powerbrick with no HDMI out.

Thank you for all of the replies I now know I have a Xenon so I'm guessing Jtagging it is not going to happen, so I guess I'll just have to buy full version of XBLA titles (I only wanted Voltron and Castlevania HD lol)

Again thank you to everyone who replied.

I don't know how much you want to spend on a RGH'd 360 since I'm going to get an extra 360 wich I'm going to RGH and put it up for sale.
That is if you want a RGH console...

Well I guess I could always download the XBLA titles with profiles to match them and get my fill that way :/

Yup, twas the non-jtag method, people are reporting getting banned from Xbox Live. (Which you need in order to boot the games, unless you console has the license. In which case you can play offline.) (Doesn't work for Indie games BTW.)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
