Xbox 360 16D5S drive flashing feels like a lost art at this point.

- In a run of Xbox 360 related content I've been working on, I decided to try my hand at making a 16D5S drive flashing tutorial. I've done it once years ago, I can do it again now, right? Oh how that almost didn't happen... This video is originally what was meant to be a tutorial, turned into a giant retrospective lovenote to my love for the Xbox 360 modding scene, and covering the hurdles I jumped through to finally get an unlocked board to take the firmware it desired. About one month has passed between recording this video and releasing it. More coming down the pipeline in terms of tutorial related content... Including coverage of this drive board so this lost art could hopefully be passed on!

Man, this brings back memories. C4eva and dark Alex were beast pushing out all the stuff back then.
Truly the greats.
hahahaha I watched the whole video, that was way too relatable. So much I could say about this upload but I'll just say I really appreciate the fact you chose to upload it. It's always fun watching passionate people talk/rant about their thing, and it's even better when it's your thing too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are part of the reason i got into 360 modding back in the day! I don't have any videos detailing mods specifically, but more along the lines of repairing them. (Game consoles)
I glitched a Xenon with a Canada CPU
Many JTAG Xenons
a few AUD Clamp Zephyrs
and ive only ever seen 1 Opus in my life. Those are super rare dude.
I've probably modded well over 100 xbox 360's
&The xbox you mentioned @10:00
that is a corona v3
v1,3,5 are 16mb nand
v2,4,6 are 4gb
v3-6 need postfix
If you're ever interested, Modchat would be fun to do one day!
Dude I love that you make videos like these. Its nice to see a more raw not heavily edited/shortened video. Also super interesting video in general. Back in 2012 I had someone install RGH on my slim Trinity. Luckily my boot times are pretty good. Usually a few seconds or 10-20 seconds max. Only had a couple times in 10 years it didn't boot. I also installed a custom dvd pcb and flashed custom firmware on it. Good times.
Very awesome! And yeah, this was a really fun one to record. Sat on it for about a month (other videos, busy, sickness) and was wondering if I'd cringe into oblivion editing it and... Nope, just as fun to edit hah. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@MrMario2011 Nah def not cringe lol. Not to many creator these days do videos like this. And I hope covid didn't kick your ass to much. Had it in 2020 but luckily was asymptomatic. And that was just before I was able to get vaccinated of course lol.
Awesome to hear how you came into fruition brother ! Surprised to hear your on the Xbox side mostly !! Youve always been my go to playstation mod tutor ! Keep up the quality content !
I covered a whole lot of 360 stuff before I went further into the PS3 side, and the channel was a lot smaller then hah
Thnk you for all your great videos regarding xbox360 till this day!
I actually do rgh mods still like 2 or 3 a week.
And also do the disc drive flash..not because its needed but just fun to do lol..when I began modding most of my experience came of watching your videos and reading on forums
The xbox360 is such a nice and cool system to mod and still mods being made today.
Again love your videos with all the useful information..keep up the good work buddy.
Still fun to be had!
Yeah bro thank u for all the work u put in those videos,u really help me out alot 🤝.
OMG!! Bro, I have been stuck exactly at this point for 6 months, with the hope of someone making a tutorial on the 16D5S. I’ve bricked 2 LTU clone boards and have the 360E sitting in a box, waiting for saving. BTW, thank you for all your awesome tutorials. I have been following your channel for years now and you have been my go to for modding tutorials. Thank you for the amazing videos and the great effort and detail you put into the content. I hope you do release a 165DS tutorial, to help me save my 360E.
Don't worry, it'll be saved in due time 😁
Fantastic video man, watched the whole thing, loved it!
I remember trying to flash my jasper's drive without the x360usb Pro and tried to use some VIA Chipset PCI card which was cheaper than buying the x360usb pro. Didn't turn out too well as never even got the drive showing in Jungleflasher xD. I want to look into it again now after watching this video and maybe if I get it working I will post something about it.
Thanks Mario :).
I remember that! I opted to not buy it since I had compatible motherboards on hand for a while, I didn't get the USB device until I got my own desktop which didn't play nice with drive flashing. It kept freezing on writes and bricking a Lite-on at the time, so it took me several attempts to complete the process. Did one drive that way and decided it was time to buy the X360USB PRO.
Thanks for sharing!
@@MrMario2011
PSP modding was my childhood, Me and all my friends on my street got PSP's for christmas, within a couple of weeks. I had them all modded, we swapped buttons around as well, so some had black faceplates with white buttons etc etc. Used to sit on my friends drive and play metal gear solid ad-hoc. So many good memories with the PSP's
That's AWESOME LOL
Watching this video at 1080p 60fps is something else mate, fucking amazing
I‘ve flashed my 16D5S LTU board a year ago. The internal method isn‘t to hard to do. Here’s a tip for anyone trying this route: Change boot mode settings to legacy(not uefi+legacy), plug in a empty hdd or ssd in your sata port 1(not port 0). Then install a fresh 32 bit windows to it. Download Jungleflasher, install all the drivers and shutdown your PC. Then plugin your drive to Sata 0 and power the drive from your console(plug in a AV cable or it will shut itself down after a while). Turn your PC on and boot in the prev. installed Windows. Now Jungleflasher will detect the drive. This way, almost any newer motherboard could be used for drive flashing.
Hey! do i need via chipset for jungleflasher to work?
Your videos have helped me a lot after buying a 360 S after being out of the modding scene since the phat days. Shame the 360 E sounds a nightmare!
This was nice to listen to.
When I'm modding consoles I like to listen to your channel while I work.
Today was the first time I soldered anything. Yesterday I was helping my landlord clean out a mini storage that's under my apartment because I started renting one off of him. We were moving stuff out of the one i was renting to the next storage over that had stuff in it but wasn't being rented anymore. I came across a box that had a beat up dirty 360 sticking out of it. I asked him whose it was and he said it was the people that lived in my apartment before me, they never came to get there stuff out of the storage, and I could have it if i liked.
So I took it!
After we were done working I fired up the 360 hoping to not see the red ring of death. It booted up, so then I started thinking, okay whats wrong with it, 2 seconds later I found that the disc drive was stuck shut. Easy fix I figured. So I teared that bad boy down to get inside. And let me tell you it was filthy I cleaned it outside of my place. Once I thought I had the tray realigned I booted it up pressed the open tray button and still stuck. I came to the conclusion the console must have been dropped. I have 2 spare parts 360's laying and they both have the same dvd drive. So desoldered the drive controller and soldered it into the one of the other drive housings and bingo it reads games and the tray opens and closes. And let me tell you about repasting it, It took 2 hours of soaking paper towels in alcohol and pressing them against the cpu, gpu, and letting them sit and coming back to get it off little by little. Same with the heatsinks, it was hardened to concrete. I repasted it with Thermaltake grease, not my go to but its just what I had on hand.
The 360 is currently being ran through its paces I'm just running Gears of war 2 on training mode its been about 2 hours and the console hasn't locked up yet.
I learned to solder from watching you work. While it was a tiny project I enjoyed doing it, and now I feel a little more confident with attempting bigger projects.
Very awesome, thanks for sharing! As a tip for the caked on solder, that's why I use ArcticClean, works super well and doesn't take as long as that! Also keeping around an old toothbrush to brush on the chip when it's mostly clean can help get ALL the old paste out of those tiny components.
I actually remember Jungle Flashing my 360 back in 2010. I even got Bioshock 2 a week before it was released. Man I miss those days.
Fantastic video man. I did watch it from the beginning to the end, and it was so refreshing to hear about all the past Xbox 360 modding tools back in the day. And I too remember countless sleepless nights when I was too trying to figure out certain tricky things like reading DVD keys from locked drives, using ck3 probe on a certain point of DVD drive pcb, it's just all too familiar to hear about it again. I can never forget the jingle tone music when you had just got done burning a verbatim Dual layer DVD disc back in those days. I also had to use the activate DVD.iso for several games in my past, I think Sega GT racing and of the new Forza Games requires me to use it I remember correctly.
But all in great work man, and one thing I want to also show appreciation for is thank for not being like other CZcams users and not putting ads every few minutes in a video. It is nearly impossible to enjoy a video if you get an ad break every 1 min in a video and I watched this entire video with probably 2 or 3 total ad breaks. I do the same for my content, I feel an ad breaks every 10-15 minutes is perfectly reasonable and comparable to watching a show on television, so that's what I always did for my longer videos. Anyways don't want side track, thanks again for the amazing video and great work on every portion on this video! 👍💯✌
Really appreciate this entire compliment, thank you so much 🤗
Blast from the past MrMario, I too was in on the iXtreme scene back in the day... those were just different days!
For real!
I am looking forward to your 16D5S drive flashing tutorial!
I definitely enjoyed how... I guess you could say "unfiltered" this video was. You'd get to talking about something in particular, and I could clearly see how passionate you were about that particular piece. And a short time later, I could see that you'd drifted into a memory from that time. People at work tell me that I get into the same kinds of rants all the time, such as the following: I was playing with some PS2 mods the other day. Thank you, by the way. I followed a couple of your videos for that. Anyway, I had set up the DVD debug unlock hack (or whatever it's actually called), and I had locked it to PS2 games only. I don't rightly remember why at this point in time. I then messed around wiped my Free McBoot card... Yeah... Fun fact: In this state, you cannot use Free DVD Boot to fix the problem. I had to find my PS2 to PS3 card adapter, hook the thing into the PC, load Virtual Box, load Windows XP, pass through some stuff to make the drivers work, and ultimately flash the card again. Luckily, everything worked out, and I now have multiple working Free McBoot cards with the DVD debug unlock hack set back to play everything. Anyway, I've commented long enough. Thank you for the video, and I look forward to the next one.
I hope your coworkers can appreciate and love you for it hah, thanks for sharing!
Totally understand.dragged some old hardware out of the loft that had been gathering dust for years ! Watching numerous videos and piecing a jigsaw that now included windows 10 and driver signature.updating firmware.disabling driver signature to get software to run,and I’m thinking..Is this really worth it?… changing the board,etc … But like you said, because you wanted to. It worked,after jumping through hoop after hoop,and , you have to look really hard for the software..Worth it…Absolutely.Thanks for your many great videos 👍
Glad you got it!
dude your attitude is right on i like listening to someone who lnows what they are talking about.
😂 Much appreciated!
I was able to get a phat with an Xk3y for cheap recently. Transplanting that to my slim daily driver with an 16D5S sure seems like a better alternative after this video xD. I have installed a dual nand on it, but the ability to play the few games that still support xbox live without worrying about bans is still relevant to me =). Are you planning on covering the Xk3y in the future?
Great video my guy,very entertaining
Glad you enjoyed!
@@MrMario2011 yeah and also just to thank you for all the tutorials because i mod almost every console i own because of the homebrew/benefits of mods
@47:55 this is why I always recommend you. If it's on social medias, friends, or recently a much bigger friend's CZcams video to play his import PSX game...just clear & concise tutorials.
Well thanks :D
Hey Mr. Mario I just recently installed an X key in a fat Xbox 360 and that was quite challenging because I couldn’t find the firmware files for the X Key thank God I’m a data order and I found the firmware files on a old hard drive and I was able to install the X key
Nice!! I still have yet to install one.
I used to mod consoles back then on my old job, we never have those fancy tools like x360 pro usb, post fix adapter and other stuffs. I just user a VIA sata pci card and made a custom power supply for the drive that has a power and eject switch. Modified bunch of drives and also did transplant/swaps of drives. If I remember correctly sometimes I used slim drives on fat and vice versa, sometimes i use a lite-on drive board from a jasper to a slim. We never have a guide for a kamikaze mod. i just count the IC pin mark it with a pencil and solder away trough the chip lols. I also solder wires directly to the GPU/CPU of the 360 slim tondo RGH as we don't have those adapter's. It was wild back then, like a wild west for hardware modding and was very fun.
On Some difficult to deal with corona, it's a good Idea to have different types of Glitcher, experiment with wire length, wire patch and resistors values, then test with different timings. It may take time to get the right combination. I've also seen people use raspberry pi pico to RGH an xbox360, it might work with your corona.
You are right about the software and OS those modding app uses. that why I still have my hdd of with the OS and all the xbox app/files and never formated it when; changed jobs. Those files are kinda sentimental to me along with all those Nand backup and dvd key's of the our customers lols
Thanks for sharing :D
i love videos like these, dont worry these rants are great.
my first 360 was a flashed one, but kid me even though was used to burn a lot of ps2 games, 360 games were a pain since dual layer dvds were really expensive and i could barely find them, i was lucky if whatever shop owner even knew what a dual layer dvd was. so i got it rgh'd at a local shop and then the console died in like 2 months, opened it up and saw that it had a really poorly soldered x360run crap chip and never managed to fix it.
years later i buy another 360, a completely stock fat and decided to rgh it myself with a good chip, turns out it was a kronos jasper which the internet says is the most reliable motherboard so i got really lucky. then i grab a super old pc that had a lpt printer port and managed to write ecc/xell to the nand and also program the glitch chip with rgh 1.2 and it instaboots, finally what i wanted.
months after that i bought two guitar hero guitars and to this day i continue to play the whole library of rock band 3 dlc songs, excellent stuff.
i also got a ps4 right after the 9.00 jailbreak was released and been toying with homebrew/games on that but i still love the 360.
That's awesome! Great current day use as well.
ive been able to rgh3 mod 2 phats and 1 slim so far because of ur rgh3 video
Awesome Video Man 💯 that's like my internal harddrive port when I got my 360 it would it never detect a harddrive until I rgh 3 it.😊
Nice to see you brother 🙏
Good to be back 😁
I only flashed phat drives, i guess that is what kept me sane lol
i once tried the kamikaze hack, i went nuts... lite on never agian....
"I could just talk about this all day, and somedays I do" Relatable
#mood
I love flashing disk drives even though I prefer to use the xkey by far my favorite dvd drive mod
At the time was the cheapest and best way to run modded iso on a retail console.
I agree, modding can be a lot of fun
I suddenly went back into modding, a lot to catch up after 10y... Same issue than you, many tutorials all over the place.
With your experience, you should fork the " Noobert's Flashing Guide | Phat | Slim | Burner Max | PayLoad | Burn Games " and add notes with your findings!
I also feel any tutorial I see, something is wrong at one place or something is not needed.
Only real issue as of now seems to be the Sputnik probe is unavailable for the SLIMs so I assume making a home made probe with a resitor might do the trick..
With RGH 3 things are becoming more exiting!
Use a fiberglass pen the next time you expose the pll. it's so easy with it.
Yes, flashing the phat 360 was fun! I want to flash my slim 360
In 2022, there is another solution kinda. With RGH there is a plugin called netISO that was leaked recently that allows you to stream the ISO from your PC and it's significantly better than ConnectX (for those that remember that awful plugin). Another perk of this plugin is that it lets you play burned games on a NON FLASHED DVD drive. Overall, it's a pretty cool plugin that doesn't really get any recognition.
Haven't personally heard of it, so it definitely flew under the radar. Is that letting you play fully patched iXtreme backups without flashing, or just putting the raw files onto a disc?
@@MrMario2011 Fully patched and burned properly ISO's that are meant to be played on a retail flashed console.
c4eva lives on! :D CK3 and the original usb360pro seems to work better for me than the usb360pro v2
I get that as well. V2 is better being more feature rich, but the V1 has always worked better for me.
watching this after i just had to piece together information to flash 2 lite on drives with only a homemade probe and alligator clips and i totally get it now lol
It's a mood.
Why Flash in 2023? Because you might be like me and have a zephyr and don't want to bend over backwards just to avoid having to buy two copies of all my games in order to play a LAN party with my kids.
Perfect reason!
Poster example of why to flash a drive
My I've can relate also. Done over several hundred. I remember like yesterday and BOOM. Copyright infringement. Those were the days
Wow I can Sense your frustration. My first Xbox360 was the Zephyr Phat - The furthest i ever got with hacking this console was buying a XBlasterCK3, I could attach this unit via Sata to a PC, Flashed the Drive Firmware. Still cant remember what I did with it. Dreading to see what happens when I start it up.
Might be good to revisit it!
Thank you Mr. Mario for video. I was wondering if I can replace my defective 16D4S for my Trinity with a 16D5S drive using a LTU2 unlocked PCB. Why 16D5S?, I got two working 16D5S spares from previous coronas non functional anymore. Thank you in advance.
Man i feel you, i recently RGH a friends trinity, and because he wanted it cheap i got cheapest modchip i could find locally which was Squirt360, and of course none of these x360usb and stuff are avaliable anymore so i had to buy a DB25 connector to flash the modchip via LPT, MTX Spi Nand flasher was cheap and had to get it cus 16mb, i had a HARD time making all this stuff work, i was doing all of this in my Vaio XP Pentium 4 machine since its complete and works fine for all this driver nonsense, First i spent way too long finding AutoGG with the latest dashboard, and after that and doing the DB25 thing i had to pull a 3.3v wire from the Vaio PSU to power it because LPT didnt offer any power and finally worked....and accidently removed the dvd key on the system somehow.... so now the disc drive wont work unless i drill it but it isnt a problem for my friend so... Now my 360 falcon, didnt want to RGH it so i decided to flash its disc drive dg-16d2s, it was back in 2017 when i found you and your videos always helped, thanksfully my old system (FM2 A68H) did read the dvd drive over the mobo satas, and accidently killed the drive by resting its pcb on the metal chassis, so i got another drive and got it flashed on the same place with its DVD key, and didnt touch it til 2021 where i wanted to read a backup and didnt read... Now i tried doing it on that Vaio system with a VIA6421 i had for some time, and it ""worked"" and by that i mean jungleflasher was freezing the pc anytime it wanted to access the VIA6421 for some reason even when i even toke out the PCI Sound Blaster, at the end because of that i bricked my drive and i was very stressed over it, so i had to take my server which has hardware to run 7 (A4 5300, A85X) put the VIA6421, installed 7 on spare hdd and discovered i had to run FreeDOS over a usb drive to fix the drive which isnt a problem for me but imagine for someone who hasent touched even windows CMD on their life... So after all that problem i finally flashed my drive with JungleFlasher..... honestly i had so many problems with guides begin outdated and most software outdated to hell, not to talk about not begin able to buy old tools everyone used, so having to use the wacky ways like LPT and VIA6421, i wish in the scene they can find a method to use generic USB SATA adapters to flash these....
What a wild ride, but respect to you to seeing it through to the end!
I miss flashing drives. I wish I could find a reasonably-priced X360USB v2.
Tons on eBay
Hi Mario, Just wondering if you plan to install the 360 16tb external drive mod using FATXplorer 3.0 beta 20. Id love all my games on a large external drive but I would rather someone tried it first before I destroyed mine 😆
I still have my 360 that JohnnyGunz modded for me. Can’t remember which motherboard but I know irs a slim system. He also had to drill the disc drive. Not played it in awhile but it was very fast booting
JG's the goat 😁
With that being said I have Windows 10 64-bit and plan on using the Via 6421 the flash my BenQ on a retail Zephyr. Just wondering if I use the drivers that came with the 6421 and is there still a risk of powering the drive through the 360? I'm a little late to the game obviously, thanks for the video 😁
Just keep an A/V cable (not an HDMI cable) plugged into the console and you'll be fine. Although flashing will work best with Windows 7 or older.
I was going to mod my halo reach slim console....and agree with you all the tools are hard to find and cant update X360 team jungle edition anyway.
Pretty sure that can still be updated just fine? I'm positive I've updated mine before, and I have the same model. It's just a fancy looking variant of the X360USB PRO.
For me 5x X360 later - I think ill retire. I just wanted to learn soldering and improve on soldering. (very small solder points when you have never soldered before!) I had 1 Coolrunner3 that died, one that never worked and confused me for about a year and then 1 final Coolrunner one that finally worked for all 4 (excluding an extra Xenon which was pointless doing as really noisy!) Having dodgy Coolrunner's made my endeveours pointless and i thought my soldering days were numbered but i refused to give in so 3rd time lucky i got 4 xbox360's working! When i figured is was not me but the dodgy Coolrunners my faith in my soldering and being able to mod was restored by 100%. Especially with the RGH 3.1 hack! The 3rd Coolrunner luckily seemed to work fine! (Although the 1st coolrunner i had seemed to work ok for a bit as read a nand but did not write after every possible mode then just started showing red light - Overall i think i was unlucky) Never give in! lol
Sounds like I'm going to stick to ps1,ps2, and og xbox for awhile sheesh! We got lucky with the ps3 softmod. And i guess most of the nintendo stuff, except maybe gamecube, although it's about on the level of complexity as og xbox.
You Sir are correct 4gb corona's are a pain whereas Trinity's are a breeze....
Yeahhhhh
Thanx master ♥️🇹🇷
Eywa kardeş 🇹🇷/❤️🌞💚
Man for real i hate to think about how old the xbox360 is. I had a side gig modding 360's just to pay bills. The only reason i bought the 360 was because it was moddable. I still have my elite with a flashed benq. I recently used your video to modd my ps3. Its crazy to think these systems are "retro".
Coming up on it! Retro is subjective to everyone, I personally believe 20 years is when a console becomes retro, but we're only 2 years away from that for the Xbox 360!
Although for many we're already there. I knew it was a wrap when I went into a GameStop last month to ask for a Xbox 360 PSU and they all said without hesitation they don't have one, because the system is too old.
@MrMario2011 talk about feeling old. I wish I could personally thank all the ones that made the modding possible like C4eva and those like you that made all the tutorials.
How funny I used the ck3 mini from team executor and I had to modify the wires with a little power switch because it refused to work the way the instructions indicate it I forgot how I figured it out but it was online that I had to cut certain amount of wires and then I had to bring two wires to some sort of switch that was just an on and off switch so now I know that USB 360 pro theme and the ck3 mini from them works for what's your describing and what I did also 800 my drive and the DS drive I really disliked drilling cut that line underneath I always came across just having to ground to the case and touch a point on the DVD chip like a probe to unlock the drive
All the different methods for flashing were absolutely wild.
Hello Mario, I just got a star wars editon slim console and I was wondering Can I only flash the 16D5S drive without doing the RGH, I been asking around and they told me only doing the rgh that you can flash this drive. Thanks
About the Driver Signature Enforcement. Couldnt I install a Windows 7 Professional VM inside of VMWare or VirtualBox on Windows 10/11 and redirect the USB traffic from the X360 USB Pro V2 to the VM? That way I could run the necessary software in Admin Mode instead of dealing with it on the Windows 10/11 side?
Yeah
@@MrMario2011 Alr, Thanks
Thanks again. Upon trying to 0800 flash my Xbox 360 drive, everything worked relatively well inside the Windows 7 VM.
I booted windows with the signature bypass but it still won’t run the jungle
It’s crazy because I’m up late night just like you said I have windows 8
Where did you get your hat? I’d like one ^_^ ❤️
Amazon, but years ago and unfortunately I can't find them for sale anywhere.
Mr Mario, I did this mod on my Xbox slim and it works but there is an issue when using Aurora dashboard on my Slim RGH system. Can you you can confirm if the Aurora dashboard slows the DVD game disc rotation compared to running the same disc on the normal MS dash on your system?
It could be a "feature" of Aurora, but it causes jittery video on games when they show intro videos like Otomedius Excellent, I did some testing on the same system and the video plays back fine when running the game from the normal MS dash and one can hear the disc is spinning faster than it does in Aurora. My guess is Aurora deliberately reduces the disc rotation speed for some reason--maybe to reduce the noise. I don't know if there is a way to fix it in Aurora.
I personally haven't run into that.
@@MrMario2011 Can you do me a favor? Try this on your Xbox: Put in a disc game and start it from the normal MS dashboard (you should hear the usual jet engine noise of the disc spinning), then exit the game and start Aurora dashboard. Then start the game disc from Aurora and see if it still makes the jet engine noise of the disc spinning like it does in the normal MS dashboard. Let me know if you hear any difference in the disc spinning noise. Cheers.
Dude, can u make a tutorial for 360 slim Corona Ver.2? everyone one elses videos are trash, i need you to make it. lol
All being edited!
Hey Mr Mario I have a question: Can the Xbox 360 E's (Winchester) DVD drive be flashed?????
Not for use in a Winchester, no, since there's no public RGH method for it.
@@MrMario2011 alright thanks for responding 🙏
It is a shame that more software from the 360 modding scene isn't open source, granted there was a lot of leaked software used, which itself hurts the long term viability of the scene.
I reckon the switch modding scene will have long legs, because the vast majority of software used is open source, including the SDK used for building homebrew. The 360, not so much.
I agree, thankfully we have some people who are really keeping the scene alive and pushing it forward. They're also being more open with open sourcing their work or reimplementing closed source work as open source.
It was pain in @ss , even rgh3 is hard but very first methods were really pain to perform . In some countries they still do LT3 but it is for profit because they are selling bootleg games and disc drives are dying really fast .
That's how it goes! Although interesting to hear about disc drives still being popular in some countries, at this point everywhere I've heard near and far does some kind of RGH.
@@MrMario2011 you can even buy bootleg discs online .
well get the paintbrush out ol'boy cuz my arcade's drive needs doin :D
turns out i have a 2S not a 5, is that good lol
Which limited version of 16mb corona do you have?
Halo 4!
I take that back, it won't make sense to flash my trinity slim
are you able to flash a disc drive on a non rgh 360?
Yeah
Does rgh allow you to play your own games?
Yeah
Bro even if you burnt the point there is an alternative point probably ..
I still love 360 it's a shame we have not seen people still working on it.
I was expecting emulation to move on well with this system but it hasn't.
Another thing which surprised me is how no one has managed to allow people on RGH to use any dvd drive (just to think if you could have internal bluray or hddvd)
MS banned millions one of my console which had not even been flashed they banned MS refused to even talk to me about it.
New drive firmware wasn't released because the console was at its end of life also they milked all the money they could from it they wanted to try milk more by using those virtual devices
Typical TX bad instructions yet they would blame users when having issues. (people asked them for the blueprints as such for a lot of old devices they was pr**ks about it then claimed did have them anymore yet another member claimed they would re release them if demand of 5000-10000 people was willing to pay lot of money)
A lot of the development has been more focused these days on pushing the hardware methods of RGH forward, we're seeing some other awesome projects like Sunrise but indeed stuff like the emulation front never fully took off.
As for that TX story at the end you're mentioning... Are you by chance referencing me asking them to open source the XODE, or is it another situation?
@@MrMario2011 I wonder if we will see RGH 3 with dual nand.
Regarding TX no a group of people got together to ask them to re release a lot of the old projects starting with OGXB which is in part of what i posted and then the same people said they would be happy to produce them they could do it for far less if they provide the designs etc (TX was sellout they was greedy they liked to claim they was doing it for community they never was ripping peoples ideas of as well)
What was the case with XODE?
RGH 3 does indeed work on an OPUS. I have one right here - czcams.com/video/vciVkS-neiM/video.html
I've also got an RGH 1 OPUS as well
Good job on all the 360 related history and modding scene. You're a reason I got into 360 modding
Really living up to the OPUS identity, huh?
@@MrMario2011 Indeed. I've also got 2 retails as well 😂
see, i know ya just love covering 360 content with screws holding down the heatsinks, we know it! 😹
Oh you already know 🤣
Freaking xgd3
Truly ingenious how that all went down.
abgx360 and a iHAS 124B drive?
@@marissaperry6344 heck yeah! I dont remember the software used to burn the games. I still got a new pack of verbatim dvd dl disks
@@Sonic2585 imgburn is what I always used.
@@marissaperry6344 your right. For xgd3 you had to burn extra data. I had software that would overburn the 8.5gb dvd-dl
you know what is a lost art soft modding without opening your console and soldering . i like the ps3 and vita and psp you did not need too open a console and solder shit . is there a soft mod for this crap without soldering like the ps3 made it easy .
Don't expect a softmod for the 360.
Back when I first modded a psp you had to cut open your battery and pull a pin up on a dip. ps3 had to be downgraded to 3.55 which required soldering.
there is zero art in softmod..if you're dev'ing the softmod you could say otherwise, but to the end user, it isn't art...hardware mods are almost always superior.
