New DASHBOARD for X360 is wow factor !

[Woodstock]

jUST installed dashboard on my x360 ..looks fresh and funky ... copied a game to me HD and play it .. load times are better ..no noise is bonus !



To install simply unrar the file, then place the "$systemupdate" folder on the root of a USB Key or cd-r and and your Xbox will automatically detect it.

I installed on the weekend too. It does look nicer. The biggest benefit for me is the game copy to HDD. Nice to have a silent drive!!!

heh only issue now is 20 GB HD not big enough ... need 120 GB now

I'm going to pickup a BEVS hdd from MSY and attempt changing my HDD from 20GB to 120GB. $55 is a better deal than the $180 mark for a genuine one!

is it just matter of swap them ? nothing esle ? or do ya need to copy the contents on 20GB to 120 GB ?

and wots BEVS HDD ?

a tutorial for hacking an official 20GB into a 120GB

hmm looks tricky ... heh I might just buy 120GB HD ..

All those boxplorer and hex steps are only needed if you want to copy your data accross I think. So if you'r ok to download your content again and start your games fresh you will only need to worry about the HDDhackr bit.

I'm going to give the whole lot a go when I get the chance.

Yeh I contemplated on doing it but thought it might be a headf**k so decided to buy a 120gb Xbox 360 hdd

i think, i'll do this a week or so before the official update, i can't go without my precious baby, Xbox Live. ;P

[303-Acid]

I just upgradedmy 20GB HDDto a 120GB HDD using HDDHACKR. So simple and easy!! 107GB free now Certainly a better option than paying the $180 for a genuine. Also I have a Halo edition XBOX and the retail drives don't match.

did you have to do any hex editing ?
