Why YOU need a Modded Xbox 360 in 2018 - The History, Custom Dashboards, Emulators, and More ! | MVG 

My original 360 never red ringed ever

Note: Some corrections. The Xbox 360 was released in 2005 , not 2006

It's amazing how you could grab the attention of people who doesn't even own an Xbox 360 like myself! Your videos are so informative that I can't help but listen all the way through it. Amazing Video as always and it made me a bit more knowledgeable to boot!

Emulating an emulator... Now we're getting really meta 😂

Definitely the most detailed video I've seen on emulators for the Xbox 360 out there, another awesome watch!

This is probably the most well made video on the modded XBOX 360, considering how much I enjoy my modded OG Xbox, it might be time for me to finally have a go modding the 360. Brilliant Video man.

i remember hearing the term "jtag" all the time and never actually knew what it was. i really wanna try downgrading a 360 to the original dashboard, thatd be cool

You had my attention at "running linux" :D

1:02 “As long as you stay off of Xbox Live” Me: *Laughs in stealth server*

Well done video! 😁

Why I own one 1) Forgot to sell it 2) liked it again 3) adds suspense “will it die today?” Edit: beat my old record of 10 likes by 53. Also, it has a Jasper motherboard but it still gets occasional red lights.

Who would win: A specialized security system with Programatticaly blown fuses built for nothing to ever get passed it Or: One Hacky boi

A wealth of knowledge

The original XBox is a superbly versatile and bizarrely undervalued machine. Not by me I hasten to add! It's good to know that the 360 is adaptable too!

the memories of flashing Hitachi drives and burning unpatch games and not getting banned but then mw2 the whole ban wave hit everyone was trading in their banned consoles at gamestop to get the elite

My Xbox 360 phat from 2007 still works! Awesome to still play Guitar Hero :)

A modded Xbox 360 is better then OG XBOX modded since it’s more powerful and it has HDMI input built in!

This is so strange. I started watching videos about the original xbox today to see if I could add some neat emulators and software to my own. Then I saw my 360 in the corner of my room and wondered what kind of mods and homebrew stuff exists for it. I already know how much stuff there is for the original xbox, so I wanted to see what was possible with the 360. I search for it on RU-vid, but couldn't find any modern videos about it. Everything was either years old or guides about how to do very specific things. So I quickly give up on that and continue watching videos about the original xbox instead. Then out of nowhere, this pops up and it's EXACTLY what I was looking for and uploaded less than an hour ago. How cool is that? Haven't finished the whole video yet but so far this is just wonderful. Really appreciated, thanks!

I still play my original... NO RED RING HERE, YES!

My favorite console of all time is the 360,to this day it still has amazing graphics and a wonderful controller that fits like a glove in your hand.A great library of games and with the modern engines being designed in games with awesome 3rd party support this console would still be going strong even today.

Unfortunately, at least for me, 75%+ of the fun was online multiplayer like MW2, Halo, etc.

Have a drink every time you hear "Xbox 360"

Mupen-360 is a port of Wii64 (mupen64 0.5 port to GameCube/Wii). It's using the dynarec we wrote for the GameCube/Wii and there were some bugs at the time gligli ported it to the Xbox 360 (which is why Conkers Bad Fur Day and Turok 2 are broken). Might be worth me taking a stab at updating it if I can easily set up libxenon as there have been a number of improvements since.

Mom: Why do you want an Xbox 360 so bad? Me: Because a bald person on the internet said I NEED one Mom: Damn fair enough. Buy me one too.

I always played online with my modded 360.. never got banned

xbox 360 was released in 2005. fsd3 is also outdated and unsupported by now. Aurora is much better imo.

It's nice to see Someone, that knows exactly what the hell hes talking about, Stays on the subject, doesn't get political, and doesn't spout fanboy crap!

down in mexico we have had modded xboxs since they first released and have "arcade" joints where all my friends would go and system link and get full lobbies ahhh good times

Gather 'round children. Gather, and listen to my tale of the journey to own a modded Xbox 360 in 2018. So I thought this would be a fun thing to have. I decided to try a DIY job of it, and I learned some VERY important lessons about them. 1. No one seems to care about the Xbox 360 in 2018. The modding community is tiny, and compared to the PS3 and OG Xbox community, pretty uninformed about how to do it. Team Xecuter seems to have abandoned it, so there's not really anyone trying to make it better. 2. Modding tools were designed way back in the Windows 7 era. Drivers and tools struggle to work in Windows 10. 3. Phat consoles are all destined to die. ALL OF THEM. I bought a Jasper, the supposedly most durable, and it died in 3 days. Slims are overpriced as all hell if you get them pre-modded, and if you even THINK about modding one yourself, refer to 1 and 2. The few good guides out there are riddled with outdated instructions and compatibility issues. I bought a Zephyr. After failing to find any information on a reliable way to flash it, I decided to keep it stock and buy a Jasper in a MW2 special edition Super Elite. It arrived with busted plastic, no power supply, and after following all modding instructions to the letter, and no solder bridges or bad connections, it RROD'd and died anyway. I still have plastic coming in the mail for a dead motherboard, a Zephyr I consider past-date milk, and still no modded console. After the living hell I've went through trying to get my hands on a modded Xbox 360 you couldn't GIVE me one of these damn things. By all intents and purposes they seem to be haunted by a gypsy curse, and if I were to ever touch one everyone I love would probably spontaneously die.

Hey man, I just wanted to say thanks for these videos. I myself have been doing Xbox modding for many years, and did my first xenon jtag when I was 15, later owning a few dual nand consoles. I still have my original xenon jtag. When I was that age I was a little obsessive about the Xbox boot process. Reading as many forum posts and read almost every page from the free60 wiki. I actually had my console reballed with lead solder (lead free solder is very brittle, prone to cracking under heat stress) I used to mod Xbox 360s for some spare change when I was younger. I'd tell the people which parts to order, they would come to my place and I'd install it for them. I'm so happy to see someone like you with high quality production, and most importantly a passion for the mod scene and intellect.

There are actually two main types of Xbox 360 mods. A) Custom DVD drive firmware to play burned games. B) JTAG/RGH modchip to execute homebrew software.

Take a shot everytime he says "360"

Sharp X68000 emulation on Xbox backwards compatibly emulator is a bit of emulator inception :) Curious after Xbox 360 homebrew. I got quite a few Slim systems, I should perhaps indeed delve into using one for emulation purposes.

I still have my Nov2005 made Xbox 360, it survived the death rings and sits on his throne as the King of Consoles!

I had my original 360 flashed back in the day. My buddy did it for me no charge. It allowed my 360 to run games that he ripped off the internet. Charged me $10 for games. Unfortunately, the games would crash occasionally. He warned me tho. "Do not get on Live"

The only time I got a red ring, was when my mom threw my Xbox for playing MW2 instead of doing my homework lmao.

I just got my elite falcon modded (I know) but since then the amount of things you can do is amazing. I loved my original modded Xbox but the 360 is a beast.

I'd like to get one and mod it. The real reason I would mod it would be to have all of my games on a hard drive instead of wearing down the disc drive. Every disc-based system will eventually fail because of those dang moving parts.

Just a heads up for anyone that sees this in time... GameStop has 4GB Xbox 360 S consoles for free after mail in rebate (pay $69.99 up front, get $69.99 visa card back in the mail).

My Xenon and Jasper already got the RROD years ago. I opened them, and removed the heat sinks and removed the stock thermal paste using the arctic 5 acetone remover then reapplied new arctic 5 thermal paste. Air cleaned the inside of the system... Both are still working ever since.

i would like to see an episode on modded ps3 amazing work as usual👌🏻

Nice and well educated review and discussion. A breath of fresh air to have a technically oriented person doing one of these.

Somebody is selling your emulator on a USB stick with a full arcade romset, idk if you're okay with this or not but I thought I'd mention it

It costs more money to flash an Xbox 360 than it does to buy an Xbox 360 - even in 2018

Coming up: why you need the original apple 1 in 2018

MGS2 Tanker Chapter music in the background ❤️

2019 and my phatboy is still going

Its all good and fun till you realize you need to solder the console to perform an RGH, and you're too poor to afford risking the console bricking. LT 3.0 forever then :(

Definitely not as easy as getting CFW on a PS3. Found a 1.6 OFW 60gb model, and loaded CFW on it since it was below 3.55 and it was a done deal.

I've had a modded xbox since 2017 but I watched the video anyway because I like your voice lmao

I'll be honest, I don't know the names of homebrew developers, but seeing MVG and GeoHotz growing into something big is just amazing

you basically convinced me to stick with a modded Xbox or modded Wii.

You rock mate

I have the old model of the xbox 360 and up to this I still don't have the red ring of death

I kept my 360 even though I moved onto the PS4 its still nice to look at in 2019

I had to go through 5 "Red Rimjobs of Death". Other than that great day's! Lol.

*RED RING INTENSIFIES*

If you want to buy a 360 and use it as an emulation device, why not instead buy a cheap, older pc and use that as an emulation device? A lot less complicated.

If i'm being honest I'd jailbreak a 360 just to play DLC that's no longer available to buy.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Pcsx-R 360 Original Playstation emulator for Xbox 360. The compatibility is amazing and it uses pixel shaders, scanlines, a dynamic recompiler, savestates, you name it. It's probably the best emulator available on the system right after FBA Next. It plays full speed, and pretty much runs any game you throw at it perfectly. As a matter of fact, it's so good that the emulator that this is ported from, Pcsx Reloaded, is the emulator used in the playstation classic console!!

When you only have an xbox 360 console 😂😢 *I'M BROKE AF*

You have convinced me to get a PS3. Thanks.

5:43 "I play them for the shooting, I swear"

“I have my original 360s for years and never got RROD” yeah it’s called a jasper motherboard

Change your title to 2019 to keep your video relevant for more views

14:44 I love that you included a glimpse of a music tracker software at the very end. Nice!

It's still so difficult to mod it. I do have a no HDMI phat, which is supposed to be immune to Reset glitch. I brought it to a modder like in 2014 and he was unable to mod it.

My xbox 360 got the red ring of the death 4 times still didn’t break :) still works

i just went back to the old and bought a 360 S console 250 GB and i need help on how to mod it as i have no clue..??

I've had one for nearly 5 years, still going strong.

i buying modded X360 slim in 2013 and still enjoying it in 2022

It's the "original" htpc.

I still have my modded Xbox 360 it sitting in dust next to my Xbox one

Still have my 360 slim gears of war edition :) dual boot rgh, flashed drive. Love it.

FORGET 2018 i’m in 2022 with my jasper loving it more then my series x!!

3:16 Just bought a jasper so thats nice to hear

"Coast to coast"in the intro, I like that song.

The title says I need a modded Xbox 360, then the dude spends 15 minutes telling me a modded OG Xbox is better.

i use it just to pirate games. call me a theif but ur just jealous im poor and u didnt think about it

After working on the XBox is comes at no surprise that you had your hands in some of the 360s killer emu apps as well. Bravo.

or you can get a ps3 and jail break cuz on ps3 jail break you dont have to pay for stealth servers

Can you do an updated video on the 360 RGH scene? I understand its somewhat "niche" but the JTAG kit died years ago. And its really hard to find it for sale. I am about to flash my falcon 360, I feel like your channel is the most informative. I am fine to solder, But I feel like a video like this would be perfect for your channel.

I just bought an Xbox 360 for $60 CAD and plan to mod it.

Damn I just realized that this can't be softmodded.

the xbox one has backwards compatibility, why tf would u not mod ur 360

I should have kept my Xbox 360! Well, I could always buy a used one from Gamestop. They have used Elite systems for $40. I’d like to have access to all those arcade games!

Got my 360 used with 2 controllers for 35$ lol. Epic video, I will be doing this.

ohhhh the memories...... i rarely mod anymore. because of skid booters and people crashing you on gtav all the time with african engine.

Is it possible to mod a late model Xbox 360 S?

No matter what you think about console hacking, this is an important part of console history.

launched in 2005 actually

I still need it in 2019 and beyond.

Stop saying SODDERING, you are Australian! 😊

My phat halo 3 edition finally kicked the bucket around 3 years ago.it was a good run

Ha. "Let's be real, the main reason you probably want a modded 360 is to run emulators and homebrew" No, let's really be real here.... Most people want any modded console so they can run pirated games that they don't have to pay for. I know that can't really be said in the video, but let's face it, the main reason the majority of people want a console mod, is for free games. We all know damn well if the Xbox Series S/X somehow got modded, and could play "backups", MS would see a drastic decline in game sales.

This stuff is interesting but I may as well be listening to quantum theory as I have no clue what half of the terminology means.

My day one 360 still works. Never had the rrod. Still works flawlessly

WATCHING THIS VID EVEN I DONT HAVE A XBOX360(and i dont plan to buy) OOOHHHHH YEEEEAHHHHH

Lost me when you said "as long as you stay off xbox live" 1:01 that's like 99% of the fun, having multiplayer on xbox live.

Will it remove region locking? Because I want to play a NTSC-U game on a NTSC-J Xbox 360.
