*As of November 1st, 2009, it's not 100% safe to play copied games on XBOX Live, unless you have a BenQ or Lite-on drive with new iXtreme LT firmware. Playing burned games while signed in to Live using any other firmware may lead to your console ID being banned*

 

JTAG mod:

 

  • Allows you to run homebrew and unlocked XBL Arcade games
  • Install games fully to a USB hard drive (or regular 360 HDD)

Currently only works if you have the older dashboard (pre-NXE) v2.0.7357 or lower

 

Hard Drive Profile/Gamertag recovery (corrupted from ban):

 

  • Recover corrupted profile & saved games on hard drive caused by the XBOX Live ban, in order to use on a non-banned 360

*If hard drive is used on banned 360 again after recovery, profile will be corrupted again*
