i got this Xbox today for like 30 bucks but honestly i don't know if it was already console banned. Yes i did use badupdate, but i did as followed:

• used proto and added it as a plugin

• turn the xbox on without the ethernet plugged in

• wait until i get the unshackled screen

• plug in the ethernet I was playing with the Aurora dashboard for a bit until my console randomly rebooted itself. I immediately removed the ethernet cable, but when i logged back in, it gave me this. Was it my fault? Not really a big deal but man.

Custom Scooby Doo and the gang!

Hello members. as im writing this finishing up the last steps of the Xbox 360 console pc port that id love to share to you all. What you're seeing is a non rust rewrite, native port of the entire Xbox 360 ecosystem reverse engineered by me. 6 months overall, 10-15 hour days, 5-6 days a week. This project was on the top of my list for all time ports so i finally am in a good spot to share it

Finally put this one together: a Jasper JTAG built into a Ruby Red XCM shell that was still factory-new until now.
Added Talismoon fans, a clear DVD drive top and individually controllable RGB lighting throughout the console. Really happy with how the red transparent shell looks once everything is lit up.
Definitely one of my favorite 360 builds in the collection so far.

He picked up a console at value village for $20. I got him a whole bunch of soldering kits from aliexpress to practice, and he did all the soldering himself. I double checked every step and he did a great job. I have never seen someone get so excited when Xell booted first try.

Walking with my dog and my neighbors throw away 11 CD holders all full with pirated 360 games. What should I do? I want to play all of this and live the xbox experience myself( I had a PS2 at the time).

It is better to buy a pirated xbox? Or it is better (and easy) to buy an 360 and pirated by myself?

The next update will be great!

ADS DE BLADES returns, more information on their Discord. And not only that, the Kinetic panel is fixed, the Blades marketplace is also fixed.

I think I got unlucky I was playing rock band 1 yesterday online and the next day I try and login and got banned I was using proto

I recently rebuilt my Xbox 360 Halo 4 Edition and thought I’d share the result:

• Swapped the dead Corona board for a Trinity board and did RGH3

• Kept the original Halo 4 speaker but replaced the sounds with MW3 ones (I just like them better).

• Repasted the CPU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme and added a Noctua fan for better cooling.

• Installed blue LED strips inside the case to match the Halo 4 theme, with tidy, hidden wiring.

I think it turned out great and stays true to the original design while improving performance. Let me know what you think!

I know this modification has already been made but on this one I integrated the TV controls on the right, the 7-inch LCD screen is flush and not protruding with integrated speakers, a temperature display that detects the internal temperature, I illuminated the joystick levers plus an aesthetic touch to make it all unique.

I've been meaning to post this for a while now. I finished a custom Fallout/Vault-Tec themed Xbox 360 and controller. RGH3, Fan LEDs with remote, and custom power/eject sounds. I tried to add a custom boot animation but it requires an antiquated Windows media codec and I can't seem to get the video into the correct format to be recognized. This is my first 360 mod and I'm pretty proud of it.

I recently bought a 20GB launch trim silver HDD to use the shell for a console that I am working on. Anyway before I disassembled the HDD I connected it to my retail tonasket to check if anything interesting was on it.

Sure enough, one 6.2GB game titled “Xbox 360 Kiosk” was on it. I took the drive out of the shell/adapter thing and plugged it into my PC, copied the contents to a flash drive and plugged the flash drive into my RGH3 trinity.

when I launched the game from aurora it brought me to an NXE style launcher with different ads, information, and demos. The screenshot is from my trinity using a capture card.

Let me know if this is something rare or worth caring about. Maybe I can upload it to the internet archive or something.

Replaced the shot CRT with a 27” RCA Truflat, have a RGH’d Xbox 360 running all the guitar hero’s + DLC packs, added in some L/R speakers + subwoofer (thing sounds better than the actual GH arcade) and redid cosmetics.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a massive breakthrough regarding Xbox 360 controllers. For the 20 years of this console's existence, nobody has done this before. Thanks to the work of @Lewy20041 and team DriftGuard , we have found a way to fully unlock the potential of these controllers.

This isn't just a simple repair. It is about gaining absolute, 100% control over how your controller behaves – something the manufacturer never allowed us to touch.

What we actually unlocked:

1. Full Authority: You now have full access to Manual and Auto calibration for both Center and Range. You can configure the controller exactly how you want it, bypassing factory defaults.

2. Range Unlocked: What many thought was a "huge hardware dead zone" was actually just a software lock. Now you can seamlessly adjust the range – from ultra-precise measurements all the way to Full Coverage.

3. Triggers 2.0: You can fine-tune the "Start" and "End" points for triggers to get the perfect reaction time.

4. Drift Eliminator: Say goodbye to stick drift. Thanks to manual calibration, you can now fine-tune the axis centers yourself. You set the center exactly where your analog stick physically rests.

Important Technical Notes & Disclaimer:

• Ratio & Auto-Calibration: The "Sweet Spot" for the Ratio slider during auto-calibration is usually between 90% and 110%. Please remember the inverted logic here: Increasing the Ratio value results in a smaller final range, while decreasing the Ratio value gives a larger range.

• Range Reduction vs. FPS Games: Be careful with this. If you reduce the range too much to hide errors, sprinting might stop working in FPS games because your character won't reach the sprint threshold (e.g., in CoD or Halo).

• Hardware Condition: This software gives you control, but it won't fix physically broken sensors. If your potentiometer is damaged, replace it. The standard factory error tolerance for X360 controllers (5-15%) is normal.

How to connect (Required Steps):

To use the tool, your browser needs to communicate with the controller via WebUSB. You must replace the driver with WinUSB using a tool called Zadig.

1. Download Zadig.

2. Go to Options -> List All Devices.

3. Select "Xbox 360 Controller" (if wired) or "Play & Charge Kit" (if wireless).

4. Select "WinUSB" in the target box and click Replace Driver.

Requirements:

If you are using a wireless controller, a Play & Charge (PNC) cable is required for calibration. If you also have a Wireless Receiver for PC, you can connect it alongside the PNC cable to test your changes live in-game.

Let me know your results in the comments!

Found this Xbox 360 with a very rare transparent green ghost case shell, Talismoon Whisper fans and LED kit. From what I can find, this seems to be one of the rarest aftermarket shells made for the Xbox 360. So far, the only other reference I could find online is the original stock photo. Really happy to have found one in the wild :)

This is a Corona V4, running BadUpdate first try, in almost exactly 40 seconds if not less.

I can finally power off my console after playing! Thanks for u/the_death_side for catching this new version of BadUpdate!

If anyone wants it, here's the 3rd stage file you gotta replace on your USB drive- https://github.com/grimdoomer/Xbox360BadUpdate/pull/24

John St. John was at a con near me so I thought it would be funny to get Dukes quote about chiefs armor on my Master chief 360. Needless to say he was very amused 🤣

Clear shell, viper triple nand, app/bluetooth controlled leds, and all the Ring Of Light leds are slowly RGB color changing.
