I have a cygnos and I had to get rid of the !SWITCH so that I could run XBR on my 360's NAND. Since XBR doesn't need to switch NANDs, I don't see any reason for it to be enabled by default.

A new exploit will be found in May.

How about helping yourself by reading some first before you start asking questions?  That is the most basic question ever.

You need your key from your old drive.  Without it, your new one won't play games.

If you don't have your old drive anymore, you can see if you can use the jtag hack to get it, but reading it from your old drive will be alot easier.

If you're playing on Live everyday, you have the latest update installed (I assume not a rebooter), which means you can't use the JTAG hack.  As far as I know, a JTAG'ed console is the only way to do what you want.

You'd still need to introduce the delay.

You can already do this with a JTAG'ed console.  Install with NXE, then run NXE2GOD.

I seem to remember something about how the new dashboard update makes harddrive installs smaller for many games.  (I am unfamiliar as to where the difference comes from.)  Since the rebooters use this newer dashboard, and Le Fluffie uses those installs, will this provide a space savings over using XeXloader's DVDCopy, or is XeXloader's DVDCopy already optimized enough that it doesn't matter?

Maybe I understood that wrong?

If all you want to do is read/flash your NAND, then just leave out the JTAG connections.  I think all you need are the quicksolder pads and RB, VCC and Ground. (None of the X's)

The lpt port is used for reading/writing your NAND.

If you don't have a parallel port on your computer, you will need another way to read/write your NAND.  Cygnos360 is an obvious choice, but there are also instructions for building a USB reader/writer on these forums.

WTF is up with this user? He's been spewing nonsensical crap all over.

Gah, can we burn this ridiculous thread?

Only if it's a JTAG exploitable console, and you'll have to do some extra work to supply power to it.

FFS, start here:

Before you ask, yes, you have to.

Find HDDHackr, read readme.

Meh, I'll give you that.

If they want to take the time to develop a product, useful or mostly useless, universal or very niche, I think they have every right to do so.  As long as they aren't false advertising (selling snake oil) than why not?

You may laugh at those Snuggie's, but the Snuggie Man is laughing all the way to the bank.

Seems like a fiberglass pen and some solder would be much better than a conductive pen.  Maybe I never saw a good one, but the end result always looked poor to me.  Like I should be concerned about longevity.

Really? Find out what drive you have, go from there. There are MANY tutorials on this.

Thanks Jelle, I'm sure there are some purists who just want to play the "newest best" version but probably not enough demand to drive a website like that.  DLC seemed obvious to me, but I didn't consider systemlink.  Thanks.
