Yesterday a divine miracle happened and a wild Xbox360 S phased into reality in my apartment. What cool and neat things I can do with it?
There are bunch of good games for it. You could also mod it and look into homebrew and emulators.
Got gifted an XBOX360 S. What now?

I am specifically looking into modding. Is there anything cool I can do with it besides ABadAvatar? I am planning to expand storage to 1TB SSD. Drive also can be flashed but it seems to be super expensive to get flashing tool for that.
Also, if I go ABadAvatar route, is there a way to lock xbox into autobooting directly into Aurora without waiting for ABadAvatar to perform unschackle?

If you want a mod that persists, you’d need to do a hardware modification called the RGH exploit. It’s doable on an Xbox 360 S, but you need decent re-soldering skills to pull it off. I haven’t done it in years, but it sounds like ABadAvatar could make the process a lot easier than it used to be.

I don’t know the program names anymore, but a buddy had his 360 homebbrewed with emulators and that was a good time

You might be interested in the USB hack. It’s got really good, easy to perform and quite reliable in the past few months.

Halo 3, and black ops 1 zombies were my favorites. Halo reach and ODST are great. We also used to play Left 4 Dead 2 at LAN parties
Those are all on PC though (BO1 PC port kinda sucks)

Plutonium Launcher fixes the BO1 PC port, it works great now.

As far as I know, there is Clone Hero homebrew.
I used to have full rockband set and an jtagged phat console. It was epic!
I also own rocksmith cable with pc version of the game. Hope I can use it with Xbox too.

Play Skate 2 and enjoy the soundtrack that I believe is the reason it never made it to PC

Get a drill bit, and slowly drill through one of the IC chips until you can install a new operating system. I fucking love the kamakazi hack

i really like the delidded image that shows that the “combined chip package” shows that it’s literally just two chips in the same package

I think it still requires firmware flasher that costs a hefty sum.

I know you’re wanting to mod but you gotta get The Orange Box and play that

this… I only buy consoles when they are like $5-10 at thrift stores and crap, then I mod them and download the entire game library and throw emulators on it
haven’t bought a new console since PS3 and never will again. it’s at a point where I won’t even buy old used ones because of how shitty they are compared to the old ones

when youre ready, xbox series x can play practically any game off any system. not sure how many other consoles can do that

If you have a chair or a table that is really wobbly you could use it to balance it out…
KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 1 day ago
What now?
Play some of the greatest games of all time for like $10 a pop. Don’t even gotta hack. The 360 is the most affordable console in terms of bang for buck in 2026
You’ve got:
- Skyrim
- Portal 2
- The og Halo trilogy
- Assassin’s creed II and IV
- Forza Horizon
And more!

Wasn’t the RRoD only a problem of the first generation? OP has an S, it shouldn’t be affected by that problem.
