I doubt you will be up to the task, and I'm going to say that the software won't run on a Mac.

If you're talking about the PS3 now, it might be a good idea to start a fresh thread in the appropriate section.
Just a thought
Not better games, but it's easy to pirate a billion titles

But seriously, to stay on the topic at hand; it's not really worth flashing 360 drive firmware now...too much mucking around imo.
If you've got a model that doesn't require much in the way of special tools etc to extract drive firmware then you could look at a usb loader solderless kit (like x360key for example).
Other kinds of mods may work fine, but if you get something like this then it's an investment that can used on another console if anything goes wrong with the first console you install it on.
But this is just my opinion...I don't mind shelling out some cash for something I can easily install myself and then reuse later on (if needs be).

Truth. Not epic games, but free.

yes and no, yes in the fact that Zelda/Metroid/Mario are better than most 360 games alone, Wii is REALLY easy to mod and there are BILLIONS of other games that while not great are in fact fun

i wouldnt mod my PS3 Slim any time soon, not worth it since i get the games for like $5 each usually even at release, and yeah might as well wait on the 360If you're talking about the PS3 now, it might be a good idea to start a fresh thread in the appropriate section.

Didn't the new C4Eva firmware come out about a week ago for the latest 360 slim? I think you still have to eff with the board so it's hard to call it a softmod. I prefer the old white ones. No questions. Just hook it up to the arcade, flash, and you're ready to go. Never had one fail yet. I just run an uber fan stand under it. If this is not acceptable, delete my post but... , if you have a white one I will flash it for $10 plus shipping on you.
Edit: I actually LOL'd when I read "without opening it"

I'm listening but I don't hear very much...

I take it you'd never encountered the 9 series LiteOn drives in the fats then, the ones that require soldering to extract the DVD key. In fact, the 8 series v2 drive needs the same treatment. You must have only ever come across the ancient Samsungs, Hitachis and BenQs?
And if you're going to mod a 360 might as well just go RGH. No point in JTAGing any more since JTAG-able systems are ancient/unreliable. Why not just get a RGH'd Jasper or slim?
RGH = Games off USB, homebrew (emulators, etc.), arcade games, etc etc.
Flashed system = burning discs.

I actually haven't encountered any drives in the Phat systems that I couldn't handle. I was unaware. Only drives I thought the phat had were hitachis, Lite-ons, Samsungs, and ben-Q's. I have a lite-on 9 series in mine. All you need for the lite-on is a probe. Executer probe V. 2 in fact. About $10 bucks. No need to solder anymore. You just touch the probe to the solder point and it extracts the key. Quick and easy.

I think you're getting mixed up with the 7 series of drives.
The 8v2/9 series require something called the "MRA" hack which involves cutting of traces and whatnot on the board to extract the DVD key.
Enjoying the finer things
I could be mistaken. The version 1 probe needed the mra hack. The second version probe was capable of getting the key without any need to solder. It was the PMT (Pogo Mo Thoin?) probe. The first probe even came with a special piece to do the MRA hack. I am pretty sure of this, but again maybe not.

Interesting. I haven't given any thought or done any research into 360 modification since 2010. It's starting to show, shit's changed in the last (almost) 3 years.
Oh well, I'll be out of here now.
