    I've always been surprised with how small the 360 modding scene is. It feels like the end-all be-all system for modding. A powerful system that can emulate most OG xbox games pretty well seems like the xbox og plus. Hopefully it'll become more popular in the coming years.

    I think if someone ever found and published a softmod, it would bust the doors wide open for a modding scene. It's just that soldering is too high of a barrier for entry for too many people; not only is it a new skill you have to learn and practice in advance, it also means you can't just mod it with stuff lying around the house (e.g. an SD card or flash drive). RGH 3 improves things in that it lowers the cost and greatly simplifies the installation, but I don't think the scene will ever be as big as the Wii/PS3/etc until there's a no-solder solution. Maybe one day someone will find one...

    The PS3 is much easier to mod and can play PS1/2/PSP games + its own library of games. So, that's the 7th gen system of choice for most console modders. (except the Wii of course). The 360 just doesn't really offer much over the PS3 for people who want to mod.

    Probably because laughing stock consoles like the Wii U and 3DS are in super high demand and have some really powerful albeit immature CFW. And can both play 3 generations of games natively (AGB, DS, 3DS, GCN, Wii, WiiU) and emulates the others handily. 360 is very hard to mod unfortunately and doesn't really have these features

    I recommend ticking the optional box for usbdsecpatch when flashing back the modified NAND at the end (so not at the xell install step but the one after that). Lets you use unauthorized controllers. Everything from DIY arcade controllers to any third party controller (e.g. 8bitdo, gulikit) with an xinput mode and you can even use the Wii Guitar Hero guitars if you get an adapter for them, then use them to play Rock Band. You can also set your disc drive to play movies (not games) from any region instead of just the region you're from in one of the deeper settings areas, so I started doing that as well before flashing, though admittedly I've never taken advantage of that feature.

You can also use these adapters to make something like a DualShock 4 work. From what I can tell you just want something that pretends to be an Xbox 360 controller when you plug it in, and with the controller security disabled it can't tell it's not a real one. Luckily that's already how a lot of third party and custom controllers work on PC.

Ten years later and I now do some really cool stuff with Pi’s that I wouldn’t be able to do if I never wrecked 3 xenon’s and 1 corona before getting a successful corona. Still works and gets played regularly for Skyrim. I was hoping you were gonna show the new pi pico RGH but this one’s better. Gonna try it later.

    Pico rgh is real bad in terms of boot times and reliability. It only works on 1 motherboard revision and nobody is working on it. The only way it can be a good alternative is when people work on it and make it boot more reliably and add more motherboard support, and even then it would only be usefull on phats because rgh3 can be real funky on them .

    I actually did this on my Trinity model a few weeks ago (took a total of 2 weeks to get it done, as I had to keep taking breaks to think and relax when something wasn't going right). I ended up actually accidentally soldering the wire to the wrong pin that you scrape the silkscreen off, and took so many days trying to troubleshoot to figure out why I was getting a red ring of death. I also ended up tearing the socket out of one of the pins (I think it's the one closest to the corner) and ended up needing to patch a bunch of wires to re-complete the circuit that was damaged. All in all though, once I figured out my mistake I got the xbox put back together and my Frankenstein-esque xbox that needed to be resoldered multiple times finally started working. The xbox gets a little warm, I might need to redo the thermal pasta again lol.

    The case is actually pretty easy to take apart if you know what you're doing, there's a good video about it from Josh Davison (aka that guy that works on jrunner). Also the resistor is there because pll (that small point under the cpu that you had to scrape soldermask off) isn't designed to take that much power. Resistor is not needed as the power is there only for a couple of miliseconds but it's better to be safe than sorry.

    I did this whole modding process like 8 times and by the end taking them apart was fairly quick/easy, but at the start I had just as much trouble as him even after watching tons of videos. You can see where the clips are, what they look like, which way to pry, but for whatever reason it just wasn't working out at first. It was like trying to recreate a magic trick. It's like you need to learn to feel it in your bones before it starts going well. I also found that once I managed to get past the clips entirely and look at them closely in person I was able to understand a bit better how they worked. It's tricky when you're doing it blind at first. I also had a couple 360s I worked on that were pretty gross and were probably held together tighter with years of gunk in the seams which doesn't help. I then took the chance to clean all the case parts in a big sink since I had things apart anyway.

This has made opening slims so much easier for me. You just have to run your finger/thumb over the label to find the intention and puncture it first with the paper clip.

    If you test the slim out of the case, like in the video. Make 100% sure the power cable is the right way... I fried a brand new slim back in the day when i was trying to muffle the sound of the disc tray/power chime, lol.

    Does a modded Xbox 360 slim rely on the hardddrive it had when it was modded indefinitely into the future? I'd like to do an RGH 360 slim mod but then I also want to upgrade the 250 GB HDD with something beefier like 2 TB. Can you do that?

    I have to say I love the Video. Great explaining all around! I've modded 50+ 360s in my time and just felt like I needed to share my 2 cents. Sadly not all 360 models accept RGH 3 that readily, but the Slim Models are usually a good bet. Depends on which one you got of course, if you got a late Corona Revision, the Post Point on the Board will not be there, because Microsoft wised up and put it under the CPU. You will need an adapter to solder to that clamps onto the CPU and punches a small needle into the new point. Also the newer models (The 360 E) are not moddable, because the Winchester Board is built pretty much bulletproof. Best 360 to Mod currently is a very early Corona or a Trinity Model (the first Slim). They accept the RGH 3 almost all the time and you can use a Raspi Pico to flash custom Firmware on them. Some older Models like Zephyr are a major pain in the backside to mod, they will still need a Modchip to work, if they work at all. If you want an older 360 to mod, try to get one of the very latest models like Opus or Jasper, they are usually a safe bet for RGH 3. You can tell the older models apart by the power plug on the console, if they have an HDMI Port and the Manufacturing Date on them.

    I wouldn't bother with an Opus. Jaspers are really the only phat consoles worth modding, or maybe a Falcon. RGH 1.2 V2 is recommended on those over RGH 3, too. Glitch chips can be had for less than $10 these days, but you do need a JR Programmer or equivalent to program the timing file

    Best thing that RGH3ing my thrifted 360 taught me is that the RPi Pico that I bought to act as a flasher is a wonderfully useful device for a million other things. The console, on the other hand, I reopened again to add an audio line-out. That was like six months ago, my motivation petered out in the middle of the operation and it's still in pieces waiting for me to complete it...

    After watching this i went on ebay and got me a 360 slim 😅 hope this one doesn’t end up collecting dust like the PS3 ss i got for $40 (incl 2 original controllers) after watching a video on how to install HEN on it.. it seems that the jailbreaking is the interesting part for me these days, not so much gaming itself 😢 Update: console arrived, did the hack, but broke something when assembling the heatsink 😢 that X-clamp is the worst. The console would show some image on the TV and then glitch out in blue or red squares. I assumed i had cracked the solder under the CPU somehow. After watching one tutorial i decided to try reflowing with a heat gun and lots of flux. And it worked! 😄 Now I am afraid it will crack again if I put the bracket back on and screw it down. The front USB ports are sitting quite high because the bracket is bottoming out. If I screw it down, the tension would be really bad. I am thinking of leaving it with no bracket, or modifying the bracket somehow. Decided to delid the cpu, temps are around 60C while playing…
