I put this together because there is an insane amount of steps in getting to the right file structure involving stupid file formats like rar. There are 2 downloads. One is a 'ready-to-copy' download that you can just copy everything found in the "files" folder to the root of your USB drive. The other is a downloader that downloads all the external files from the internet and puts them on your target USB drive after setting up the right file structure.

Something like this was recently linked on consolemods.org on google drive.

And I must respectfully disagree about rar. I think it is a great format, though not as good as 7-zip with LZMA1/2.

I just don't like rar because it is proprietary and no OS ships with support for it OTB.

Subject to the distro, I've not had this problem with Linux (just tested on Fedora) and MS also bought native rar (also 7z and tar) support to Windows 11.

On a side note, I wonder if RAR is public domain now as patents only last ~20 years?

Google Drive links tend to die quickly as compared to placing it into a repository for accessibility. Free cloud storage is unreliable for many reasons alone.

I don't like RAR, 7z is the better format for compression.

Appreciate it! Going to try this out later.

I have an Xk3y, and never dabbed in the serious mod chip scene and excited to try out some homebrew and stuff.

Glad someone made an all in one pack, nobody really does these that I have seen lately and I'm not about to watch 5 different youtube vids to know what everything is lol..

5 isn't that far off, I ended up watching 3 to figure out how to design this and never found a non-video tutorial either which is a lost art apparently.

Github releases is the best free cloud storage hack
The whole github repo is designed to allow it be updated easily, and as new updates come out I'll push them.

If you can get a direct download link for this. I can make an aurora plugin to auto download and install to the 360 directly

@BigOnYa I think github links are weird and you need to follow redirects IIRC. Ran into that issue with cURL.

I can try with that but I’ve only ever tried with like a true direct link

I know that’s confusing lol lemme explain I’m self taught so I don’t know words


Like if you had a website and sent me alexfree.com/file.zip it would download just like that github link but not have any weird redirect follows or anything


Dropbox is a famous “free” one till you get 100 downloads as well. If you share the download link and change the =0 to an =1 at the end of that public url it will work just like that example I sent and not need redirects or anything

Used to use that to distribute ps vita binding of Isaac mods back in the day lol

This is direct

Same here totally self tault only know C and bash. Edit: IDK if that will expire looking at the link. What kind of library are you using that doesn't support redirects? I Used https://deref.link/ to figure thie above out which does work for now. cURL needs -L instead of -l to follow redirects which is what I used in my scripts.

On a side note, I wonder if RAR is public domain now as patents only last ~20 years?

It might be, from what I recall creating rar is banned from all major archive tools. They are only allowed to extract them. This might be seriously outdated, but even then it was too much BS for me to want to use the format.

Mac OS plebs like myself still don't have that nice OTB expierence. And honestly I never used Win 11 so I didn't know it even supported it.

I mainly use Windows 7, Linux, and Mac OS so it does surprise me that win 11 added support natively. I wonder if you can create them on Windows 11?

Everytime I see rar I cringe because I need to open terminal . I guess I don't now on Fedora (which I also use!) but It is so much instinct that I never tried.

I think zip is the best format. Not the most efficient, but the most common place and backwards compatible one anyways.

That's super neat, thank you

Version 1.0.1 (3/28/2025)​

Changes:

• Now includes a build of Simple 360 Nand Flasher v1.5b (latest commit as of 3/27/2025) using the new Read Only target. The Read Only builds do not allow writing to the NAND, only dumping of it. This is specifically for BadUpdate consoles that can't write to NAND without bricking.

 

[alexfree]

Version 1.0.2 (4/7/2025)​

Added the ability to use XeUnshackle or FreeMyXe.

XeUnshackle sets Aurora as your default launcher.

Added HDD Compat Partition Fixer (for original Xbox backwards compatibility) v1.

Added Hacked Compatibility Files (for original Xbox backwards compatibility) 12-09-2019.

Added Xell-Reloaded v0.993. This is setup on the FreeMyXe editions to allow it to be loaded immedietly after exploit as an option (rather then the stock NXE dashboard). On the XeUnshacked editions, Xell-Reloaded is at apps\xell-reloaded-v0.993. Note: Xell-Reloaded does not work on Xbox 360 E Winchester (it loads to a black screen, with no recourse other then to reboot the console and not use it when asked by FreeMyXe) so don't bother yet until this issue is addressed if your on an Xbox 360 E Winchester. Every other console revision works fine.

Improved folder name conventions in apps folder.

Downloader is more verbose on what it is doing.

Creates a backup folder that you can place your important files (such as NAND flash backup, cpu key txt, etc.).

Not that I need it as I already have it, but I was wondering which hacked xefu files those are.

The ones with the standard limited guide menu, or the ones that allow full guide menu access such as the ability to play music and such?

If you use xefu spoofer it gives you full guide access iirc

I have and use that as well, but that is not what gives guide menu access when playing an original Xbox game. The hacked emulator itself does. All xefu files from the one I use have it. I simply wanted to know if the unlocked version guide menu version was the version included in this pack.

There are the hacked files whch allow the xbox 360 menu to be used alrrady here, I just didn't document how to use them. Next update will (or you can just use them manually of course and ignore the official docs). Not here however is the 2021 xefu builds, I hope to uopdate this to incude the best solution. Again this is supposed to be drag n drop, if there are sugggestions please make them. Anyways I've been playing bloodrayne 2 poorly with pretty decent results Bloodrayne 1 maybe my favorite.

HAPPY FRIDAY! - Version 1.0.3 (8/8/2025)​

GAME CHANGING UPDATE. The BadUpdate v1.2 Update is insane. 1st try, exploited in seconds. If BadUpdate was too unreliable for you before and you don't have an RGH console (or you have an un-RGHable Winchester) give this a go.

Changes:

• Updated BadUpdate to v1.2. This has some serious success rate improvements compared to the previous releases of BadUpdate with noticable results.
• Xell Reloaded for Winchester (a build I have created with the updated LibXennon toolchain that is now Winchester compatible, see this thread) is now available. To start it on your console, launch apps\xell-reloaded-v0.993-d4f08b4-winchester\default.xex with Aurora file manager or XeXMenu. This uses Xell Launch to bring up Xell Reloaded. Note that this is labeled specifically ‘for Winchesters’ because there is a report that it does not work on at least a Jasper v3. As I only have a Winchester at the moment, I can’t debug anything for other consoles. However I can confirm the last official Xell Reloaded release works for consoles older then the Winchester model. If you want to use Xell Reloaded on a console older then the Winchester, start apps\xell-reloaded-v0.993.
• Substantial improvements to build and 360hp scripts. 360hp script now works again on Fedora Linux. The unrar command is now used once again to extract all downloaded rar files in download mode, since Fedora has the insanity to remove rar support from p7zip (but still allow the GUI Gnome desktop shipped with official ISOs to support extracting them).

Hey @alexfree maybe you could link this thread or the Github page in your signature so it's easier to find?
