Xbox 360 XBOX360 - Games (Freeboot) | XBOX 360 Owners Club

Attached Image

The Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s second gaming console that followed the Xbox. The Xbox 360 competes with the Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii as the seventh-generation gaming system. Some of the main features of Xbox 360 are represented by the Xbox Live service, which allows you to play over the Internet, as well as download a variety of content — video games, demos, trailers, music, TV shows, etc.

I decided to create a temka for owners of XBox 360, I want to collect here information on the upgrade, modifications of this console.

The main place where you can help with firmware and split more about xboxis here

Types of modification
Drive firmware
The console with firmware can run games from both licensed discs and pirated discs purchased in the store, as well as games downloaded from the Internet and recorded on discs.
The prefix with the latest firmware version (LT + 3.0 or LTU) retains the ability to play through the Xbox Live service, using licensed discs, as well as most pirated discs.
The ability to play even those games that are not available in the license form in your city. These can be rare games or those that were intended for sale in another country. The second is especially important for those who purchased the console abroad (NTSC-U, NTSC-J).
The Xbox 360 firmware will allow you to collect a collection of exactly those games that you are interested in - even if they have not been sold for a long time.
With the Xbox 360 stitched in, the player has the opportunity to get access to the newest games immediately after their official release, and sometimes even earlier. In the form of a licensed game can appear on the shelves much later.
The firmware does not impose restrictions on the installation of official updates, that is, you can update the console both from Xbox Live and from game discs, without fear for the operation of your set-top box and firmware.
Freeboot
The main function is the launch of unlicensed games from hard drives (both from internal and from USB), USB flash drives. You just need to download any game on the Internet, copy to the media and connect it to the console.
The console with Freeboot allows you to store a collection of games on the internal hard drive. Games can be copied from external media (via the built-in explorer) or via the network (via ftp).
When you start games from external and internal media, the regional binding is not taken into account, that is, you can run games on the console not only of the region for which you intended.
Also Freeboot allows you to install add-ons (DLC) to any games and play XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) games without buying them through the Xbox Marketplace, but simply by downloading them on the Internet.
You can run additional applications written specifically for Freeboot, (Homebrew) - such as: emulators of outdated game consoles (Dendy, SEGA, PS One, Nintendo 64, etc.), video players, browser, etc.
Freeboot uses an additional convenient shell (FreeStyle Dashboard, Aurora), which has, in addition to the ability to run games, many other useful functions: built-in file explorer, fan speed control, network capabilities, temperature display and other important indicators, as well as many other things.
Freeboot has the function of copying games from DVD (from a license, and when the drive is flashed — from pirated discs) to the internal memory of the console and allows you to continue playing games without using a disc in the drive.
Playing via Xbox Live with other players on consoles with Freeboot is not possible. However, it is possible to play multiplayer games (multiplayer mode) through unofficial servers (for example, using the XLink service).
X360key
X360key is a drive emulator running on the Linux operating system, by installing which you can run games from any USB drives.

Xkey consists of two parts - it is a chip that is installed inside the console, and the external module is a special USB port into which the media with games is inserted. Optionally, the x360key can include a remote control with LCD display.

Xkey is installed on all Xbox 360 models, including Slim and Fat, regardless of the dashboard.
Dual nand
Installing Dual Nand will allow you to squeeze out of the console all that it can give.
You will get 2 consoles in one, i.e. You can run the console with and without Freeboot.
To do this, you will have to use a switch, which in one position will load Freeboot, and in the other, a normal, not cracked console.
When installing Dual Nand you can play Xbox Live, but you have to buy games / flash the drive, or install x360key.
Also, you can run DLC and Arcade on Freeboot, in general, you can use everything that Freeboot can give you.
Dual Nand is the best solution if you need full access to the console, as well as the ability to play over the network.
Nobody argues that you can get access to Live and play pirated discs with x360key, but there’s no share of what the Dual Nand Freeboot console can give you.

Instructions
How to know if Freeboot is installed (XELL bootloader)?
Turn off your console, and press the drive tray open button on the hook lamp.
If a blue or dark screen with Xell and Free60 is loaded

Congratulations, you have a modified console.

How to get into the native NXE deshbord, and from NXE again to FSD?
It's simple, there are several ways:
1. When launching the console, when the first logo appears (Xbox ball), hold the RB and hold it, NXE should boot
2-In any game or in the FSD itself, press the central joystick key, then press Y, then hold down RB and select YES (A)
3-To exit NXE to FSD, press the center key then press Y (or select the xbox panel item)

How to make FSD see games
- Add paths to game folders (directories) in the Setup menu
- Settings
- Content settings
- further in Manage Game Paths (Paths to content)
- Select Change Path (Choose path)
- Specify the directory where we store games
- For example,
HDD1: / games - xbox360 games unpacked by Xbox image browser
Usb0: / games - xbox360 games on external media
Hdd1: / xbox1 - games from the first xbox
HDD1: / emulators - various emulators
Hdd1: / content / 0000000000000000 - games unpacked by ISO2GOD, live arcade (xbla) and DLC on the integrated HDD
Usb0: / Arcade - live arcade on external media
- Click Select Directory (Select Directory) (Y)
- Save the selected path Save (X)
- Click Back (B) and exit the settings menu
- restart the shell. If freestyle is on autorun, then press the central button of the gamepad, select the xbox start page, answer Yes
- Freestyle dash will restart.
- Go to the Library - Xbox 360 games, Xbox live arcade and further, depending on what you copied to your hard drive.

Xbox original emulator on freeboot
Emulator requires built-in HDD.
USB media and memory cards are not suitable.

- Copy hdd compat partition fixer to console hdd
- Run the default.xex from the copied folder
- Press A
- the HddX partition required by the emulator is formed on the hard disk
- reboot xbox 360
- Copy the Compatibility folder from the archive into the HddX section with file overwriting

You can copy, for example, through Xexmenu
- we start Xexmenu
- Use the X button to select the HddX partition (attention - not Hdd1)
- and put the Compatibility folder in the HddX section

- If the HddX partition is not visible via an FTP connection, go through the file manager on the console and create any folder in this section (then HddX will be visible via FTP)
- Create an xbox1 folder on your Xbox 360 Hdd1 hard drive
- Open the configuration settings FreeStyle dash 3 (right in the FSD shell, in Content Settings)
- specify the path to xbox-one games, for example hdd1: / xbox1 /
- unpack Xbox1 image using XboxImageBrowser
- copy the game folder to hdd1: / xbox1 /

Most games come in 4/3 format and require pal-50 mode.

Unbreakable model differences
Starting July 1, 2014, Microsoft released a new revision of the Xbox 360E - "Winchester". This revision is currently not susceptible to any "hacking". The definition of this revision by date is not a 100% guarantee, since come across and "flash" model. The only way out is to look visually.

A new processor is installed on a new revision, which can be distinguished in appearance - it has a top of the textolite, as in Phat consoles. On the stitched, it is entirely metallic. Also, there are fewer capacitors on the new revision and their location is different, the quartz resonator is shifted to the left. In order to see all this - you need to remove the side decorative lid from the DVD drive, and carefully consider everything through the iron mesh sidewall, highlighting the flashlight. Details and differences of revisions. Watch in the photo.

built-in hard drive? What benefits will it give me?


The ability to copy the whole image of the game (Xbox) or its part (PS3) to reduce the loading time of locations and all that.

So why does she even need hdd and is 4GB enough?


It is necessary, because otherwise the games are read from the disk all the time, and this (especially when using pirated discs) wears out the drive + noise + again, longer downloads, etc.

So do not skimp :)



Rep: (82)
Logos,
Well, firstly, there are now games on two disks, one can even say only AAA class games (not all of course) that require installation on the carrier (I don’t know for sure that I haven’t encountered such).
Secondly, wear the drive, as written above Metalik. I even remember the licensors banned in the live, because of a damaged lens, which gave out SS sector curves or simply because of physical damage thereof.
In the third for the Xbox emulator'a. Requires 8 GB of space.
In general, if you think you can take 4 GB box, and then if you need to buy a flash drive / hard drive.

Rep: (108)
proplayer666 Metalik,
Thank you for the answer :) Honestly, I did not listen to you and took the box with 4GB. So far, nothing to regret. hdd somehow did not have to use (except for recording saves). Stitching is not firmware, from August 4th (as the acquaintances said, they are stitched before August)
But I still like it very much :)



Rep: (0)
Can the Xbox 360 250GB Slim be stitched? And if so, how? (there were rumors that the drive needs replacing?)
Thank you in advance.



Rep: (0)
It is stitched, without a drive change: P And the question of how specialized forums on this case will give you the answer, but I would not recommend trying the very big crap there and making a player a big risk from the console.

Rep: (2)
Hello! I heard that there was such an interesting thing as Microsoft Kinect, but it is only suitable for versions of Slim. But on one site I found this Kinect system, and it is written in brackets for any consoles, i.e., for the old 360, not a slimmer. More indicated (For any consoles, power adapter included!)

Do you think this is true ?!

Good evening. Here I bought the XBox 360 Arcade, I took it from my hands. All games except LT + are played. What version of the firmware I do not know (

Please tell me how I can run games that require LT +, how to run games from the hard disk of the console, find out the firmware version and in general I want to be more advanced in this console.



Rep: (50)
Friends! :) I’m in a hurry to let you know that I’ll soon become a happy owner of a snort:) But I’ll get it without a drive. Question - how can I do better in this case? I've seen drives on ebey, but I understand they are not sewn. is it still better to order from ebey and then give it to a local guru? Or you may risk to flash it yourself. Just have an unsuccessful experience with a briquette drive ... And is it even possible to raise the briquette drive?

Posted on 03/15/2011, 17:26:

And a little more is not clear - it says here about the firmware of the drive and the box itself. There is a question - for example, I’ll still get a sewn drive. Will it work? Does boxing wake up with it? I’m talking about something - that is. If I understand correctly on the box, you can put any drive at all?



Rep: (48)

Rep: (48)
Comrades, tell me, pliz, a dark man. Boxing has never been, only the PS3 stands for online games. I want to take a box for playing pirates, off-line.
There were a lot of questions (perhaps now the information has changed, when compared with the first posts of the author):
1. Is it worth it to flash it yourself? (if rations are necessary, I don’t really want to suffer myself). If everything is done programmatically - that is another matter. Then one question - what are the risks if you follow the instructions clearly?
2. If you flash it yourself - what box should I take, what should I pay attention to, so that there are no problems with the firmware?
3. Tell us about the bans in the live - if banned, are there any problems with playing offline? (I just read that games require the Internet in any case, and if they are banned, then boxing can simply be thrown out - is this true?)
4. If p.3 is true, how to protect yourself from a ban?

Thanks a lot in advance

And immediately - and often they break? when I bought Sonya, I read about boxing, which is quite a frequent phenomenon, for example, the “three lights”

Tell me how to distinguish between Xenon and zephyr?

tell me if I restored the box after three lights with the toothpicks method, but there is a problem when the drive tray turns on, it does not read the discs, sometimes it opens, tell me the problem is in the drive or in the north bridge ????
Does this error affect the installation of freeboot? I want to install but I suspect that the problem with the drive in the motherboard is that it may affect the removal of the key from the console ..

tell me if it's not difficult, but if the console helps, the picture is unchanged without lights, but when you press the bridge, the picture disappears and the crash


thank you in advance

_Nigga_,
1. Is it worth it to flash it yourself? (if rations are necessary, I don’t really want to suffer myself). If everything is done programmatically - that is another matter. Then one question - what are the risks if you follow the instructions clearly?

In some cases, soldering is required. Programmatically everything is done rarely. The firmware of the console is that you are flashing the drive. Risks always exist. The probability of screwing up - 60%
2. If you flash it yourself - what box should I take, what should I pay attention to, so that there are no problems with the firmware?

Firmware appeared on the last boxes, so you can take any Xbox 360. But on the new - Slim - not on all drives.
3. Tell us about the bans in the live - if banned, are there any problems with playing offline? (I just read that games require the Internet in any case, and if they are banned, then boxing can simply be thrown out - is this true?)

If they banned them in a live box with a flashing drive, then launching offline games will be problematic. When entering live, the console scans the drive and updates the drive firmware to the default one, installing a new control panel (dashboard)
4. If p.3 is true, how to protect yourself from a ban?

Do not go online :)

And immediately - and often they break? when I bought Sonya, I read about boxing, which is quite a frequent phenomenon, for example, the “three lights”


At the very three years the prefix - never had 3 lights
From myself: it all depends on what kind of firmware you want - if you want to run games without disks - and there is a freeboot through the HDD, but for this you definitely need a soldering box. And there is just a drive firmware. It is less risky and at the same time there is a possibility that you will be banned.
