Is My Xbox 360 Compatible?

Almost every Xbox 360 can run homebrew through some method, but the right method depends on your motherboard revision and your CB/dashboard version. The software-only JTAG route only applies to older phat consoles that were never updated past an early dashboard. Everything newer relies on a glitch-based RGH method.

MotherboardTypeTypical methodNotes

CoronaSlimRGHRGH3 often preferred; RGH1.2 also viable

JTAG requires a console still on dashboard 7371 or lower with an unpatched CB. If your console was updated beyond that, an RGH method is your path. RGH3 is notable because it does not require a glitch chip on supported boards.

Confirm both your board and dashboard before deciding anything.
