Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago

How is the modding on it these days? I have a modded one from a long time ago and I did a modded firmware on the dvd drive in the 360 so it would ignore protections and another mod on a Liteon dvd burner in an old Windows XP computer for writing the games.

It’s gotten better thanks to the softmods coming out lately like BadUpdate and BadAvatar.

I remember reading and watching videos about the DVD firmware hax. C4Eva, right?

It’s really easy. I had no microsoldering skills before, but Ive soldered many other parts so I have experience. I’ve modded 6 Xboxes for friends and family and now I can do one in about 30 minutes including flashing the NAND.

Many people are going the bad update route where you must softmod the Xbox Everytime you turn it on. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds, sometimes you have to try 10 or 15 times to get the mod to work. The people behind bad update are working on it constantly, so who knows, they may find a way to make it boot instantly 100% of the time.

But for now hard modding and soldering are the best permanent ways to mod the Phat and Slim models of the Xbox 360.
