Worthwhile to jtag your 360?

onekelly · May 28, 2010, 05:53:10 PM

It looks like my flashed 360 is able to be jtag'd. I am looking for the benefits of doing so. From what I have kinda read, you can play backup games from a USB drive which is not factory drive. Also able to run homebrew. I am not looking to play on live with it EVER.

If u have knowledge about this please let me know. Also if u have tutorials that u used or info, please share as well and point me in right direction

thanks

I would. It will let u play downloaded DLC content like u would games from disc (ex: song packs for guitar hero or any xbox live game like Castle crashers)

It's definitely worth it. Region Free, free XBLA and DLC, emulators, installing games to USB or internal HDD without needing the disc.

OK cool! i will, BUT, where is the best tutorials? I cannot find any good ones. Or would you recommend going with the xecuter nand jtag bundle? Cause i don't know jack about jtagging. thanks in advance.

Gentle bump on this topic.

Also i cannot seem to find any pics of what the post screen shots of runnning from a hd look like. It is not like xbmc on the old xbox is it?

Also still need advice from my above posts.

ok i got it jtag'd and xbreboot installed. so now what do i need to run backups off of a usb external drive?

This is the way I do it. There are other ways.

You need:
Xbox Image Browser (PC program)
Freestyle Dash (360 program)

Xbox Image Browser will open the ISO for you and copy the individual files to a folder. You then copy the folder to a folder on the USB drive and run Freestyle on the 360 to boot it.

How do you keep games from updating the dashboard? Also if you don't update the dashboard will Knect or whatever its called now work or will
Natal require a new dashboard?

Perseid · July 08, 2010, 12:50:10 PM

You can copy the games to the HDD through Freestyle or FTP them over. With both of these options you skip the update. Right now there's a Freeboot for 9199 and they update it for new dashes periodically. As far as Natal I dunno. It might not work until Freeboot is updated.

I jtag'd xreboot but now i am putting freeboot on in as i think it will serve me better.

@ perseid, when updating freeboot, does the program do it automatically via internet connection, or do you download it and install, or do you have to reflash the the nand?

Perseid · July 08, 2010, 04:00:47 PM

You download and install it manually, but you don't have to open it and reflash.

So do you mean that you update the dash or does Freeboot just make the machine thinks its been updated?

Well I am all finished with the jtag and external usb. I went with freeboot 9199 (using coolshrimps jtag tool) and then installed xexmenu along with freestyle dash which is what i use.

Loving the external drive and not having to pop in disks or burn to disks for that matter!
