  2025 is the year of the X360. First the decomp tools, now this. Maybe we can even expect a serious attempt at emulating the system on PC? Xenia is still not good, unfortunately.

    About xenia not being good… I know my experience is anecdotal and ofc xenia is not perfect but I played through Forza Horizon 1 and Red Dead Redemption with almost no issues. I’d say it’s a bit better than “not good”

      Probably meant in comparison to where ps3 emulation is currently. I agree, xenia has made amazing progress. For the “lol 360 go brrrrr” folks it has a long way to go still.

  Hopefully they find a way to apply the fix permanently. I just did 2 RGH3 mods over the weekend which is the easiest hardware mod for the 360 and it was more challenging than I expected.

  I’m gonna have to buy a 360 now to jailbreak and rip its games.
  Been doing that for PS1-4, GC, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and OG Xbox. Now it’s time for the 360 to join the ranks.

      My brothers might be in my parents basement still. I wonder if it even still works.

    You can already rip 360 games.

    Using a PC you just need to make a .iso of the disk using whatever method or software you prefer.

    You can also do it with an umodded 360 console.

    The trick isn’t ripping the games, it’s playing them.

  Anything can be hacked if you have physical access to it

    Yeah, I was gonna say: Oh, like most laptops then? If the hard drive is not encrypted, you can just boot a different OS to access what’s on the hard drive…

      This is “hacked” in the console modding parlance. It’s not about gaining access to someone else’s Xbox to do something nefarious, it’s about running software that Microsoft doesn’t want you to run on your xbox, including pirated games. “Jailbreak” is a synonym for “hack” or “softmod” in this scene.

  I have one of the OG white ones but never use it out of fear for the red ring, any shot this will help prevent that?

    Kind of not really

    You can overclock the fans but you really would want to do a hardware fix
