Hack your Xbox360 and play any game you want

  • The Xbox 360 is a great console with a fantastic library of games. You can pick one up for around £50 complete with controllers and even the Kinect sensor.
    But hacking the console lets you load games from backup ISO files. This means that you can very easily get hold of any game you ever wanted and play it on your hacked Xbox.
    In this video I'll take you from your untouched retail Xbox through to a fully modded RGH3 console playing games from any ISO backup file.

Fortunately I have a microscope so was able to fix my mistake, and after that soldering the wires was relatively easy.

    This is a great tutorial. You’ve taken a lot of highly detailed information and explained it in a way that an intermediate PC enthusiast can understand. I hope everyone who tries this has a great result. I will certainly give it a go when I find the time. I will probably give careful consideration to using a pre-made nand flash card or making one from a Pico. The later maybe riskier for my hardware, but you have explained it very well and I would be comfortable doing it this way. Many thanks.

    • @BytesNBits
      @BytesNBits  3 місяці тому +1

      Is j Runner talking to the Pico Flasher - does the icon appear in the j Runner app window? Have you got the power brick attached to the console and power turned on so the console has standby power? Check all your wiring and look for any places where your wires might have touched another pad or component. Especially check the connection where you had to scrape away the solder mask.
      If all else fails desolder the mod and try the console to make sure it's all still working as a retail machine. If that's all OK try modding again. Hope you get it going.

    75% of the complete library of games but there was some that are missing. And a couple of others didn't work properly sound but no picture.😩 I'm not good at adding games to stuff like this....
    Somehow I always mess up even with step by steps. I just wanted to know is it still safe to just play the games off the disc. Only reason why I say that is cuz I tried it since I had it. We're bioshock 3 I was Playing it on the the disc but Aurora act a little funky after trying to go back to the Aurora home screen. But everything was fine afterwards but it just had me thinking is it's safe to do that?
    I mean by your videos I'm pretty sure I could probably do it but it's only a handful of games that I would be playing on discs anyways. Cuz I pretty much have all the games that I want on the hard drive to begin with.

      From what I can gather the internal drive size limit for an RGH3 Xbox is 2TB. If you can use a bigger one that's great but it's not something I've tested. Do check that they are not using larger external drives rather than internal ones slotted into the Xbox.

    I'm planning to do this to one of my 360's in the next few days, but I have a question about 360 games and most of the answers I've found online are very vague, it's almost as if people don't know or don't want to take the time to answer questions for someone who is hacking a 360 for the first time, or maybe is just me.
    My question is, why would you choose to download games on the ISO format if/when the same games are available in the Jtag/RGH format and the file sizes are usually smaller than the same games in ISO format?
    I downloaded a game on both formats, the ISO file was 7.29 GB and the Jtag/RGH was 605 MB, after extracting the ISO with 360mpGui the extracted files were the same size and the same files I got with the Jtag/RGH version, also the Jtag/RGH files are already extracted once is uncompressed so you don't have to extract them with 360mpGui.
    I know in some cases the difference between ISO and Jtag/RGH files is not so big, but still the Jtag/RGH files are always smaller and end up being the same files you get after extracting the ISO files.

    • @BytesNBits
      @BytesNBits  Місяць тому
