Hi

I decided to buy an Xbox 360 to mod. Is the only way to modd it to install emulators using a JTAG or is there a softmod?

Thanks

JTAG/RGH only.
I recommend getting a Slim one.
Matte blacks are harder to hack or require more hardware.
I've modded tons of Matte black ones, how are they harder, am I missing something?
@gonefishing1975 Depending on what console you get 16MB NAND vs 4GB NAND, you will need some common tools and some specific tools.

I've also done hundreds of Slims and it's no issue for me.

Don't forget that some people don't possess the soldering skills like we do.

Not all all of them. 4GB trinity consoles are matte and are hacked exactly the same as the glossy ones as the trinity is just a 16MB nand + seperate 4GB memory module. Matte ones automatically being harder or needing more stuff is just bad info.

Not sure about recent, but I learned from this guy on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheWeekendModder
I don't agree on how he does somethings but it's a good place to start. I suggest you watch a few vids before you try anything.
If you can find out the model, Trinity/Corona I can post link directly to a vid and recommend some tools needed.
On the back of the console you will find the power requirements. Trinity needs 10A, Corona needs 9A.

    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!
