New update for BadUpdate 1.3

[BigOnYa]

I was thinking about removing the coolrunner and doing RGH3 as it's meant to be faster to glitch, I'm needing to to replace the thermal paste on the slim

Yes RGH3 is pretty much instaboot, and yes definitely replace the thermal paste while you have it apart.

Glad to see a fork. Why did the OG archive their project, anyways?

Should I buy Tony Hawk: American Wasteland for BadUpdate? Because I still plan to play Rock Band with the DLCs, although I don't plan to actually play Tony Hawk.... Or should I use bibarub's fork of BadAvatar or wait for an official update?

You don't need to buy anything. You want to use abadavatar 1.3 and then install it to mmu/hdd and then you don't even need a usb stick poking out of your 360.

I saw that video earlier.

MVG now prefers a software exploit over RGH. It's good to see. RGH offers a few advantages, but overall it isn't needed anymore for running homebrew and backups/mods. Without it modding the Xbox 360 would be a lot more difficult. Even Ryan used an RGH when developing the exploit.
I do respect though what it has allowed as well as JTAG.

Now though, RGH is a risky method that, to me, isn't worth it when the software exploit can do almost all that an RGH console can.
Every now and then I see posts on reddit about RGH consoles having one problem or another. Usually not booting because modifying the nand is breaking the proper signature(s).

Imagine if this had been discovered 15 years ago

RGH is good if using a large non original sata drive and you don't have a 4GB mmu or you are using an old dashboard like blades. I've got 2 xbox360's, first one is a fat with just a wire and diode installed and I've never had an issue with it, the other is a slim with demon dual nand and coolrunner and never had an issue with that either, but for folks that don't want to open their 360 or solder anything then this new mod is excellent news.
