This seems to be a fairly complex hardware hack to pull off, and it only works 25% of the time. This will possibly satisfy the hardcore homebrew community, but I have doubts about whether they'll be able to refine the process into a single low-cost mod-chip.
This is definitely a good step forward though. At this rate by the time the 360 is retired from the marketplace we'll have a reliable boot method that allows everyone to turn their old 360s into media servers/toasters/whatever.
- jbri 15y agoWell, it works 25% of the time you try it. And if it doesn't your modchip can full-reset and start over - statistically it already is "reliable", all it means is a longer (variable-length) boot cycle.
- genbattle 15y agoThat's true, and you can probably assume that people who will be doing this will use their 360s as media/file servers which need minimal restarting.
