Fun fact. The animation the ring of light on the console plays was designed to sync with the original boot animation. Unfortunately over time as it was tweaked, the timing was ruined and newer consoles wouldn't play in sync, but if you have a Xenon or Zephyr revision console, the ring should pretty much sync with the animation. Super clever touch by the engineers and a feature I don't think many people know about.

Awesome. I've always hated the new boot animation since it got changed in 2010, it reminds of that awful Xbox era where they were making gaming a side thing and cared more about Netflix and sports. The old boot animation always reminds me of the golden era of the 360 back in 2005-2009. It's also just a much better made and fitting boot animation than the new one.

Thank you for sharing the journey you're taking with the consoles you mod! I personally wouldn't have brushed off my childhood 360 if it wasn't for the first video piquing my interest, so what you're doing is definitely an inspiring venture.

I think there are some slim models that actually shipped with nxe, but it was such a short period of time that it is pretty much as rare as finding an early jasper unit with blades (they shipped with blades for about 2 months)

wow funny enough in my head we never left the original animation. everytime i think of the 360, i think of the OG launch

if you do this and then set the blades dash.xex from protostealth to start on boot in dashlaunch you can basically have a blades dashboard xbox with the old startup that can go online and play modern xbox live games

I remember the first time I ever modded my 360 was when I found out you can change the boot animation. Now I live happily with my blue xbox 360 bootanim❤️

For a very short period, early slim units did actually come with NXE, but it was such a short period its a miracle to find one that someone knows its rarity or hunt through early boxed examples, it was more common on the Kinect update and most notibly the early metro of which i've come across a few, to find an NXE Slim is rarer than blades units, it sits with finding an Opus on blades/kinect update as they pretty much updated your consoles to a minimum of NXE within service.

Yeah. I installed the old animation a few years ago. I also got the blades dashboard mapped to X when I boot the console. Just for nostalgia purposes. It’s kind of useless now. But is fun to boot it on a slim

Been waiting to do this for years

We do, in fact, love the internet archive

i've never had an xbox of my own yet, but maybe i will one day, then i could try writing my own boot animation using this method

I agree that the original animation is superior and I don't have a particular "nostalgia" related factor to saying it. BTW I prefer also PS3's original boot logo but even more it's original boot sound. I have replaced those in my PS3. The updated one sound like a bland shortened version of the older one.

I enjoyed this tutorial!

I don't mind it, but I feel like Microsoft could have done a better job tying it into the classic and newer aesthetics of the 360. The flying streamers of the post 2010 branding never really made any sense for the 360. The 360's branding was always about circles or rings and that was wiped out after 2009. I'll never understand that move.
