Thread: Game Trackers

So,

I've been thinking about joining a game tracker, but I am pretty clueless about them. Would anyone mind helping me out? In particular, I am curious about how downloaded console games typically work. Is a modded gaming console typically required to play downloaded console games, or are there alternate methods? For example, is downloading the games straight to the consoles hard drive a possible option. Do the top gaming trackers (UG, BG, ect) typically include tutorial information? If you had to pick one, which tracker provides the most community support for helping people get their consoles prepared and games working? Any other general information about game trackers in regard to console gaming would be appreciated

XBOX360 is what I am interested in. Everything I've found indicates that a modded system is required. I was curious if there is a way to do it without altering the physical hardware inside of the xbox360(like without opening it up, soddering, and so on.) In other words, I was hoping that there was a completely software based method.

Given that I am not comfortable with opening up my xbox, it looks like I will have to look at buying one that is already modded.

So this means that any offline/non-xbox live xbox360 game can be downloaded straight to the xbox 360 hard drive and played if the console is chipped.

Okay another question I've come up with. Do you only get banned if you play online modded games like cod or do you get banned regardless if you mod your xbox 360?

I wouldn't bother with a gaming tracker. I'm making an assumption here but your highest interest is probably for their support in helping you set it up.

To be honest, scene trackers should be just fine when it comes to the popular games. When you start getting games people don't usually hear about, is when you might want to check out a game tracker.

But, if you need support, there's definitely other forums that will help you mod your console. For example, I tried looking on how to get updated rosters for Madden 12 so when Madden 13 comes out, I don't have to buy a new game from EA Sports (which would essentially be the same game anyway). The forum I found helpful for this is Operation Sports Forums

No. You will have to open the console to do the flash method or jtag method. Also i think jtag can't be done anymore with the updated versions of xbox 360. This leaves you 2 options. You can find a old model and do it yourself (keep in mind old models get red ring of death sometimes), or you can find someone selling an already jtagged xbox (they will be expensive).

The only way to have downloaded games on the HDD is to jtag it. Keep in mind though if you have a jtag xbox you can't go online with it. It will be an older FW, and you need to have the newest to be able to sign into xbox live. So Jtag = no online. To me flashing the console would be best, because you keep online, it isn't that hard to switch out discs, it's a lot easier to do, i don't know how to solder, and you can use newer xbox 360 models that don't get RRoD.

If you decide to mod remember their is always a chance you'll get banned from xbox live.

Also it's been about a year since I've modded an xbox 360 so if my info is outdated, sorry. :)
