This is it! Perhaps the definitive update to Bad Update with version 1.3 executing instantly and now touting (theoretical) 100% reliability! A far cry from the original release which had about a 30% reliability rate and took up to twenty minutes per attempt to run. This tutorial will show what's new, how to upgrade or convert to Bad Update 1.3, and even how to use the "boot animation recovery mode" for anyone who deleted or swapped out their bootanim.xex file!

This does require an Xbox 360 console which has already been set up with Bad Update, along with the prerequisite knowledge of how to navigate your console once enabled.
