Can anyone point me to the proper place to locate this now? Links are dead.

Also is this compatible with an RGH3 Jasper model?

try this. I already had the files. remember to enable hddx access before transfer or they won't transfer correctly. I found this link on therealmodscene, which is about the best 360 site that's still around. I have an account there, but I didn't need to sign in for this link.
Good looking out bud! Ending up finding them, think after I posted this.

Any good homebrew games or emulators you'd recommend by chance?

not really. the 360 is one of the worst systems for homebrew, but you might look for the three or four games done by @Gunz4Hire . I've tested all of them he's posted on here. all have worked perfectly. I really like his pac man one, really good rendition of the classic pac man theme when you're at the title screen. I would recommend those. maybe xm360 if you want to unlock something on the system itself. mednafen, which is like retroarch, is pretty good on the system as well.

Sweeeet! I'll be checking these out tonight for sure! Appreciate the recs! Pretty happy to have finally done this. Been holding onto one for a while and studying the process before RGH3 dropped, then finally decided to take the plunge over the last few weeks.

Learned a lot so far. Also learned that if you get your hands on an xbox where the xclamps are missing the plastic piece in the middle it can short out when booting giving a 0031 code. Temporarily got around it using some kapton tape to seal it off a bit. Think i'm gonna pickup some silicon bumpers tonight and see if I can do a better job with those. Probably help heatsink contact as well I figure.

the xclamps have been removed from all systems I've owned, but never by me. I've never bought a 360 new. can't really remember, but I think I'm using nylon washers on the heatsinks for all the systems I've bought.

afaik, the problem with the xclamps is that the cpu and gpu sections of the mobo don't flex enough due to heat. that's that popping sound you hear with electronics, for anyone who doesn't know. the ps5 does it sometimes, but I've never heard the series x do it, but I think that's because it has more surface area. it's not as tall, but it's fatter, which makes up the difference. anyway, I assume all the systems I have had had heating issues at one point, but I still have my main jtag plugged in after 13 years, and it still works without a problem, including the pink hdd caddie I have with 1TB hdd. it's never failed, knock on wood.

Nice! Good to hear it's still going strong. Any recommended temps you try to keep yours at with dashlaunch or do you just leave it stock? Curious to know how your temps sit as well?

I've heard the xbone uses xclamps, but it's no where near as big a problem. don't know about the series s/x.

as for temps, the recommended is 60C or 140F. it will be somewhat loud if it's a phat, but I guess that's better than a dead system that requires a reflow or reball. I don't own a bga station to fix such problems, so I'd rather they not happen. ;)

btw, there's a dashlaunch setting that shows temps when you hold down the guide button, so you can see them in game. I forgot the name of it though. if you have it display F, if you're American or something, it will also be reflected in there.

I know this is old news but, I got the update when I attempted to play my copy of PGR2. Version 1 is compatible, but apparently there are two versions of it and my copy would never play until I got the aforementioned update.
