I probably have already mentioned how selling my JTAGed Xbox 360 was a mistake in hindsight. Of course I could always buy another JTAGed Xbox, plenty of those are still available. But,I don’t like playing games on consoles as much as I like messing with consoles. So instead I got unmodded Xbox 360 and tried to put BadUpdate on it.
BadUpdate is a soft mod, similar to what you’re running on PS4. You don’t need Internet for it, but it takes much longer for it to work.
Hacking the Xbox 360 Hypervisor Part 2: The Bad Update Exploit
How long? Took me an entire evening of restarting my Xbox until I got there.
Was it worth it? Not really. I mean, it was interesting as a proof of concept. But I struggled to find any games I’m still interested to play on Xbox360. I eneded up testing that the exploit worked on Samurai Shodown Sen, which I lamented in the past, and… Torchlight 1, out of all things.
Also, to copy games I had to use a very particular USB drive. Xbox wouldn’t read anything else, despite me formatting all to FAT32 and MBR.

as I see it ultimately worth it: you played a whole evening, got full expirience and will never do it again! ideal!
It could be worse, I could have bricked the console 😆
