Heres How to Install it for JTAG/RGH...MrMario20112024-10-05 | For years hardmodded Xbox 360 owners have been able to install "unlocked" original Xbox emulator files which allow for all original Xbox games to be booted on a console. Although compatibility is hit or miss, it was improved upon thanks to Xefu Spoofer, a script which allows users to select a specific build of the emulator to play original Xbox games for improved compatibility. We now have additional updated builds of the emulator from 2019 and 2021 which can be used, fixing even more games such as TimeSplitters: Future Perfect! This video will show how to take all these components and combine them together to get backwards compatibility set up, select specific emulator builds with Xefu Spoofer, and make use of the latest builds to play some more original Xbox titles!

You typically have to take an extra step to format large drives to this, and the file system doesn't support any files larger than 4 GB in size. Although there's a few ways of installing large PKG files, this video will take a look at using ManaGunZ to read an NTFS or exFAT formatted USB drive, copy PKG files from it, and install them to the console!
This method of PKG installation requires you to have either a jailbroken PS3 console running custom firmware or a console modified with PS3HEN. This video will assume you already own a modified console and have at least a basic understanding of how to navigate it. Lastly, you will still need a FAT32 formatted USB drive to do the initial installation of ManaGunZ, after that any PKG files you wish to install can be copied to an exFAT or NTFS formatted USB drive.

What happened to that Xbox 360 Dashboard Update?MrMario20112024-08-24 | With the Xbox 360 Marketplace shutting down last month, everyone was predicting a Dashboard/Kernel update would release which would take away access to the digital storefront. In a surprise to everyone, no update was deployed, and all changes to the console were done server-side! Although the online Dashboard leaves a lot to be desired for many folks out there, none of the changes made are permanent since you can retain your old Dashboard simply by disconnecting from Xbox Live.
Many people believed this was all to the update, but people who were anticipating a Dashboard/Kernel update were left puzzled as there in fact was a new update created in the form of 17698! What did it contain? Why didn't it deploy? When will it release? We don't know the answers to those questions, but we can certainly have some fun speculating!

While it works well for many motherboards, the dreaded Corona 4GB motherboards seem to be hit or miss with PicoFlasher. These might generate a 0xFFFFFFFF error or a "Console Not Found" message within J-Runner. If you have a stubborn Corona 4GB console that can't be detected using PicoFlasher and you're confident your wires have been soldered properly, this might be the fix you need!

The Xbox 360 Marketplace closed down on July 29, 2024 and GameStop had something to say about it, although it seems like most of the Internet didn't appreciate it all too much... Including myself! I had a few thoughts about it, but I wanted to expand past a few tweets, so here's a video about how GameStop has been an awful figure in the world of saving physical media and keeping it accessbile.

While the emulator is impressive, it also has several compatibility issues depending on the game being played and even which specific emulator executable is being used. This could be manually adjusted by renaming the emulator files, but Derf made it much easier thanks to Xefu Spoofer! This script for Aurora allows users to select which specific emulator to boot original Xbox games with within a few button presses, negating any need to move around or rename files.

It goes by the name Collateral Damage, the first iteration of it is quite early in development in terms of usability for end-users, but this initial release is mostly targeted for developers to start tinkering with. This works on any Xbox One or Xbox Series console, but it does require the console to be on an outdated Dashboard update along with being prepared with the Game Script application installed. Although Adv File Explorer can be used for this, many users might not have that application installed, so this will show the process using a Raspberry Pi Pico as a rubber ducky to set up the Xbox with the required script, as well as showing how to use the accompanying executables on a Windows based computer.

If you have a compatible PlayStation 3 on firmware 4.91 or lower, you can easily jailbreak your PS3 using only software! No hardware flashers, no need to take apart the console, not even a need to downgrade! As long as the updated 4.91 Flash Writer can be accessed on your console, a compatible PS3 can be patched to allow for Custom Firmware (CFW) installation.
If you have a CFW capable PS3 the first thing you should do is backup your console's NAND or NOR flash to a FAT32 formatted flash drive. This should be done on every install, just in case your system needs the flash restored at any point in the process. After verifying your flash dump is proper, you can patch your console for CFW within the browser! This process will download a specific file to your console and "patch" the console so it's ready for CFW. After verifying your PS3 has been patched successfully, you can simply reboot your console, take a 4.91 CFW of your choice, and install it directly through the XMB!
In order to do all of this you MUST have a compatible PS3. All Fat/Phat models work! If you want to perform this on a Slim console, 20XX and 21XX models are all compatible. 25XX models that have a 3.56 or lower minimum firmware version will work, any console with a higher minimum firmware will not. ANY PS3 MODEL HIGHER THAN 25XX WILL NOT WORK! This includes newer Slim (30XX) models and all Super Slim models.
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the jailbreak process with Flash Writer is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only differences would be a firmware specific patch, which Flash Writer will download for you, and a different CFW matching your firmware version. If you see the video title and description shows a higher firmware number than what is shown in the video, that means Flash Writer has been updated for that specific firmware version.

Not only has it been known on the PS3 for well over a decade, but continued support and development on it made me want to highlight this homebrew application in a dedicated video for those who might not know about it. Although the PS3 isn't the media center powerhouse it once was, many people still enjoy the media playback capabilities it has, and Movian expands upon those by allowing additional video and audio formats to be played. It also features local and internet based streaming options, subtitle support, multiple audio track support, and an infinite amount of settings to tweak your playback experience to your own perfection.
This video assumes you already own a console modified with CFW or PS3HEN. It is also assumed the viewer has a basic understanding of how to navigate their console.

While this can work for most people, others might see new features that Rocky5 has implemented and want to update their softmod without uninstalling and redoing the entire installation.
This tutorial will walkthrough the process of obtaining the latest Quick Update package, transferring it to the console over FTP, and launching it to update the existing Xbox Softmodding Tool installation. Do keep in mind this is exclusively for Xbox Softmodding Tool modified consoles, not console running other softmods such as SID5!

I also love importing games, especially if I can get a better deal! With modern consoles not having to deal with region lockouts on physical titles, the process of playing an import is painless these days. With so many domestic and international businesses available specializing in importing video games, the last place I would expect to not only find legitimate games, but to get an even better deal would be AliExpress. However, seeing is believing, and I couldn't believe the prices until I saw them. Depending on which games you're interested in along with which console they might be on, AliExpress could be a great destination for your import needs!

These include the N64, NES, and for this specific example the 3DO. Although many people don't like the Limited Run Games pre-order structure, long wait times for shipping, or other policies, this situation with D: The Game for 3DO was the biggest surprise I've seen come from Limited Run Games. This begs the question: Is Limited Run Games really selling burned games?

While the Guitar Hero games suffer from audio de-sync issues, games developed by Harmonix such as Rock Band and Dance Central are plagued with an issue which causes a soft lock "eternal loading" or "infinite loading" issue when trying to play any song.

This is especially important with so many old programs being harder to find, source code never released, mods lost to time, and more. The recommendation has always been to backup your Xbox's data then get any lost content to trusted individuals in the community, but that's made infinitely easier with XCAT! This homebrew application works on stock, softmodded, and hardmodded Xboxes with the goal of uploading any unarchived content directly to the XCAT Team. They're not only looking for lost content and title updates, but their search even goes as far as unarchived homebrew applications, Dashboard themes, and much more!

While a console with a custom BIOS can accept any storage medium and keys do not have to be matching, softmodded and stock consoles running a retail BIOS require a locked hard drive with a matching hard drive key. As these keys are randomized 32 character values, years ago it was determined for safety and ease of use that you could "null" a hard drive key to 32 0's. This means anyone who is aware that a lock hard drive's key has been nulled can unlock it easily without the console's EEPROM backup, and hard drives can even be swapped between consoles expecting nulled hard drive keys!
Unfortunately it was discovered that nulled out consoles and hard drives with a key set to all 0's would not work online with Insignia. However the process of "unoing" a key surfaced, setting the key to 32 1's instead of 32 0's, and it was confirmed to work online! This might be beneficial for some softmodded console owners out there worried about losing their HDD key, but there are a few precautions to keep in mind before making the decision to change the HDD key. This video will walk through the history of key nulling, benefits of it, downsides, precautions to keep in mind, and will show how to resolve several issues which might arise after changing the key!

Working as expected and just like the original downloads worked on Xbox Live, as long as you can connect to Insignia and fire up your game of choice, any available TU or free DLC can be downloaded directly to your console! We go over the process in this video to showcase this functionality and how easy it is to get updated and online with your favorite games on Insignia.

Although ther might be some confusion and worry over the process of installing HFW and PS3HEN, this tutorial should hopefully ease those worries by showing the process step-by-step.
Keep in mind this is not the equivalent of a full custom firmware (CFW) or jailbreak! PS3HEN does not have the full access CFW contains, but much of the functionality people are looking for is available on PS3HEN. Not all homebrew will work on PS3HEN, some of it will require either resigning to 3.55 or will need an update from the author.
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the installation process is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only difference would be a higher version of HFW and PS3HEN would need to be used.
As a final warning directly from the PS3Xploit team themselves: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ENABLE FSM (Factory Service Mode) OR INSTALL CCAPI ON A PS3 WITH PS3HEN!

Although there might be some confusion and worry about starting on PS3HEN with HFW, reverting back to OFW, uninstalling PS3HEN, etc. this tutorial should hopefully ease those worries by showing the PS3HEN to CFW conversion process step-by-step.
In order to do all of this you MUST have a compatible PS3. All Fat/Phat models work! If you want to perform this on a Slim console, 20XX and 21XX models are all compatible. 25XX models that have a 3.56 or lower minimum firmware version will work, anything showing a higher minimum firmware will not. ANY PS3 MODEL HIGHER THAN 25XX WILL NOT WORK! This includes newer Slim (30XX) models and all Super Slim models.
If you have a CFW capable PS3 the first thing you should do is backup your console's NAND or NOR flash to a FAT32 formatted flash drive. This should be done on every install, just in case your system needs the flash restored at any point in the process. After verifying your flash dump is proper, you can download the required patch for your console and install it all directly within the browser! This process will download a specific file to your console and "patch" the console so it's ready for CFW. After verifying your PS3 has been patched successfully, you can simply reboot your console, take a 4.91 CFW of your choice, and install it directly through the XMB!
Although this tutorial was recorded on firmware 4.91, the jailbreak process with PS3 Toolset is the same on higher firmwares as long as all of the software needed has been updated. The only differences would be a firmware specific patch, which PS3 Toolset will download for you, and a different CFW matching your firmware version.
