I'm going to be buying a 250 GB Xbox 360 Slim pretty soon that I will be modding. I've read some of the tutorials on this site and I have a pretty good grasp of what I'll be up against. What I haven't seen are any tutorials on playing games / ISOs off the internal hard drive. Is this something that's not possible to do?

Yes you can play games off off the internal HDD.
Infact it's preferred over external (fast loading times etc)

You can't play ISO's tho.
Only extracted games and GOD converted games.

I'd go for the extracted method.

Thanks for the info! Do you know any tutorials on what mod I need and how I can get games working off the internal HD?

You need an RGH to play games off the internal drive (or external drive for that matter). A JTAG can do it as well, but they patched out the ability to do that before the slims came out.

You'll need (depending on your model) a NAND-X/JRunner programmer or SD R/W kit + a Coolrunner3 lite/pro.

I'd say if you're smart enough, combine JRunner with Dark Fib3rs glitch guide.
That way it won't be that hard to pull off.

To my knowledge not many does RGH anymore, not since R-JTAG was released.

R-JTAG is only for PHAT consoles, the OP has a slim so this would not be an option for him. he should have no trouble finding someone to do a RGH install.....................sudeki300

R-JTAG is for phatties yes.
Slims have a new chip which is currently in development by TX.
TX dropped the CR3 Lite cause of chinese knock offs and is developing a new chip (affordable one) that will be based on the DGX/RGX chip.

    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
