Comment on Any Xbox 360 can now be hacked in less than one minute
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 3 days agoI’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.
And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?
Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.

Oh I thought it was a live USB kind of a thing. Like just boot your custom OS off a flash drive and all your settings are already there.
Shit like this is why I should read the article first before commenting (TBF, most people don’t).

To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.
I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.
Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly
