Depending on the Xbox 360 model you own and the type of mod you want, we can offer a wide range of Xbox 360 modding services to meet your needs (not sure which model you have? Follow the guide to identifying your Xbox 360 model):
- If you want to play Xbox 360 game backups from the console's internal hard drive or any USB device, and run retro game emulators such as MAME, SNES and PS1 games, and the legendary arcade games of the 80s and 90s, the ideal mod for you is RGH;
- If instead you want to play online and run Xbox 360 game backups by burning them to disc, the ideal mod for your console is the Drive Flash (BIOS Flash);
- If you want to play online and run Xbox 360 game backups from a USB hard drive, the ideal choice for you is the X360Key mod.

Let's take a detailed look at the types of Xbox 360 mods we offer:
Drive Flash (BIOS Flash) Mod
Lets you play your backups in the Xbox 360 disc drive by burning them directly to disc. Access to Xbox LIVE is not blocked.
Essentially, simply burning backups to disc lets you run them on the console.
However, some patches must be applied to the games before burning them, to make communication between the motherboard and the drive as "stealthy" as possible.
Xbox 360 RGH Mod
Lets you play backups directly from a pen drive or internal or external hard drive, with no need for a disc. You can use the console's internal hard drive if it has one, or any kind of external storage such as a pen drive or USB HDD, with no compatibility issues. You can also use media players on the Xbox 360, retro console emulators such as Mame32, and run third-party code and apps called Homebrew, with a huge range of uses. Another advantage of the RGH mod is that you do not have to install official updates, so you don't have to spend more money because "the mod has gone". Your games will always keep working. Online play is not possible. The console comes with Aurora installed, the most modern alternative dashboard for Xbox 360 (the evolution of Freestyle Dash), which automatically downloads game covers and can be customised with themes and plugins.
Besides these features, remember that an RGH-modded console becomes a true media centre, expanding its possibilities exponentially – for example, you can browse and edit its internal contents locally with an ordinary FTP client such as FileZilla or FlashFXP.
Your console's boot time varies with the hardware installed, from a few seconds at power-on with the latest-generation modchips up to the usual minute with standard chips.
To get the most out of the mod, read the RGH mod user guide and how to set game paths on an Xbox 360 with RGH. Want to use mod menus? Discover the Xbox 360 mod for Mod Menus.
X360Key Mod
By installing a piece of hardware, it lets you play the ISOs of your backups directly from a connected USB pen drive or hard drive. LIVE remains accessible. You can boot the console in fully original mode by pressing the EJECT button at start-up.
FAQ
Q: I have ordered an Xbox 360 modding service, what should I include in the parcel?
A: Just the console, plus the hard drive if it has one.
Q: How soon will the courier come to collect my console?
A: Usually the working day after the order.
Q: What address should I put on the parcel for shipping?
A: After placing your order you will receive an email with shipping instructions (for both home pickup and express courier).
Q: How long does it take to mod my console or carry out a repair?
A: Usually everything is done within 1 week.
Q: What does the warranty on my console mod cover?
A: It covers any defects in the mod itself. The mod includes a 1-year warranty, extendable to 2.
Q: What does the warranty on the modded Xbox 360 consoles you sell cover?
A: It covers all factory defects on the console and the correct operation of the mod.
Q: Can the mod affect the operation or wear of my console in any way?
A: Absolutely not. Mods exploit bugs in components and system mechanisms that are already designed to do that particular job; with the RGH mod, for example, a delay (in milliseconds) is introduced in the timing with which the processor interfaces with and verifies certain instructions, and during this delay the patched kernel (Freeboot) is loaded. Ultimately, the mod has no effect whatsoever on your console's wear and does not cause faults.
Q: Which mod do you recommend for my console?
A: It depends on how you want to play with it and with backups. If you play online we recommend the X360Key; otherwise you can go for the RGH mod and make the most of every customisation of your console. If you prefer the classic route, go for the drive flash (BIOS Flash) mod.
