Um no, it specifically says no flashing required? Just plug and play, I mean that's the whole appeal of it.

I just hope they send some tester's out for trial's incase MS drag them into court and stop the shipping like the PS3 dongle was.
Then (with a bit of luck) they'll be copied and spread Smile

What am I missing here? sabin matey, you seem very excited, what is it about this product that makes you want it so much? I'm not trying to diss it or anything, I'm just curious as I'm not very up to date when it comes to the 360. Smile


As garus said; 99.99% of 360s can't be JTAGed, you have to certain machines not updated passed a certain dashboard, and not newer than a certain date due to hardware changes. At least with this you can load ISOs direct from HDD instead of having to burn disks, plus it emulates the drive completely - meaning no need to flash firmware if/when MS updates the dashboards again. Plus I'm happy because it means I'll be able to play recent games again! I can't flash my drive to LT+ (for AP25 titles) since I accidentally lost the keys and who knows what will happen when XGD3 comes out?

Here's a very useful chart someone on XboxScene has put together explaining the difference's between this x360key, a Jtag and a normal flashed console.

Aye, obviously JTAG is absolutely the best way to go. I don't care about XLive, I just want the games .. so if I can't buy them, I'll download them Laughing A dude was selling a bunch of JTAGed machines on PSX-Scene, a Falcon for $150 and a few Xenon's for $100.... but yep, as luck would have it; I don't have $100 Sad Besides, shipping a 360 from America to Norway? Hah!

some guy in Oslo. FairExchange @ qxl.no, he also adv. at finn.no.

Managed to corrupt NAND tho, but its fixable, and he will send it back ASAP. Strange thing is that kenny64 (yeah from this forum) managed to do the same thing. I must have been really unlucky tho, because all I did was update dashlaunch settings, but at the end it flashes to NAND. After the third time, it just didnt want to boot up again. Not even boot to xellous.
Im so fucking unucky sometimes Sad

And he JTAGes new arcades :/ Does he know something others dont, or have he just collected lots of JTAGables. Seems like he sells a lot of them.

I saw a few sellers on Finn with JTAGs, but they're all 3000kr+ Ouch.

Sorry to hear about your corruption stuff, luckily your guy can fix it for you at least.

No, you need to connect the motherboard inside your 360 as well, it runs between the main 360 motherboard and the actual DVD drive itself.

a little off-topic but what tha fuck, lots of people here in brazil are connecting to live with banned consoles (using latest non-beta dash).
I don`t have a banned console to test this but sure someone here could test it?

Probably Microsoft's way of attracting customers back after the PSN fiasco. Wouldn't surprise me to see a total ban revoke Laughing

I actually thought about connecting to live today, just to see if I'm really banned. But the router is sooo damn far away from the box that I gave up on that thought. Now that I've heard this... actually the router is still too far away to bother.
I'm guessing it's just a glitch given the whole Amazon NA server crash that took place the last few days.

But don't you think you will have to input your drive model and key to get this to work? Or does it intercept the necessary info on the SATA bus (coming from your real drive)? I already saw modding shops offering to install the thing for you. Maybe it's not as easy as simply pluging it between your drive and the motherboard? If you need your key I won't be able to install it myself.

The price seems also to be quite high. If you click on "Buy it!" at x360key.com you get a link to foxchip.com where it costs 99 €. I guess it's worth it, though.

It's exactly as you said; it's a pass-through device that intercepts the input from motherboard > DVD drive, parsing the data onto the x360key controller instead. There shouldn't be any need for drive keys at all. €99 is expensive, I was thinking they'd price it around $100, given the price of the WODE (same device, only for the Wii instead)

I'll just wait and see what the price does.

It isn't usual for sellers to fix it to you if you manage to break it?

If you want to buy a Jtag, beware that the guy we bought it from is difficult to communicate with and reluctant to aid you in any way. 3 Jtags that i know of has been bought off this guy and all 3 has had their Nands corrupted. I was an idiot and forgot to disable live and tried updating a game through TU and though the downloading was part of the process grinhurt second tried to update his Freebot to 12625 and the entire shit was wiped and needs to be reflashed and Deelix ffs just updated Freestyle dash and it got corrupted. What the fuck is that? 3 different things done wrong and all led to the same result. Black screen and Xellous wiped. I find this a bit suspicious. When i read others doing stuff wrong they say their Xellous work, but nothing else which gives them the opportunity to reflash their Nand themselves and fix it, but not us. I bet my ass that this is done on purpose so that we have to send it to him all the fucking time and he earns a fuckload of cash out of it.
