How much are glitched systems like this going for? Still would like to try out some beta games I have, if theyd work.
Pretty much: HDMI and not the new Slim consoles = glitchable. There are a few exceptions, but the consoles are very easy to get hold of.
IMO better=whatever has a higher rate of reliability and ease of use. The JTAG seems to be it due to the fact you don't have to wait an unknown quantity of time for it to boot successfully. Though the flip side is that you have a Jasper or lower in terms of hardware reliability.
But still, it depends what you are doing... Just running a homebrew launcher and some games/dlc on your console? Jtag. Apparently booting dev kernel? Glitch console. As I said, better depends what you are doing
Wrong, the Coronas are completely glitch-able, just some issues reading and writing to the NAND which I believe have been cleared up. Not sure if it's released to the public yet though. RGH consoles can do everything a JTAG can, and that includes running a homebrew launcher and games/DLC.. Heck, they even have FSD running on RGH consoles.
NAND is NAND is NAND. Reading and writing is trivial at best. The reason we can't glitch the corona is due to the hardware changes regarding the HANA.
I'm well aware homebrew runs on rgh. You completely missed the context of my post. If that's all you want to do, the jtag is 'better' as its 100% successful boot every time.
Here in Brazil I've seen lots of IDIOTS downgrading from JTAG to glitch only because the glitch is an newer hack. Talk about gullible idiots itching to spend money with exchanging an pretty solid hack for another which is not so solid and even requires an part which costs a LOT more than a bunch of schottky diodes ... You're Idiots. That's all I have to say for those people blowing fuses on their JTAGs and "upgrading" to glitch hack. :lol:
wait, so theyre turning their JTAG into RGH? yeah, that is stupid I'd really like to switch to a RGH Slim though, I feel like my Xenon is just a ticking time bomb. Plus having HDMI out would sure be nice
If a Xenon is still working the probability it will continue if treated equally or better must be pretty good by now all things considered. Even if it does die reballing seems to be a pretty good solution, if only stop gap for a number of years. I'd imagine a better cooling solution to negate any thermal board flexing wouldn't hurt, that is aside from negating stress closest to the core. How long does a reballed Xenon last anyway?
:clap: Especially considering you don't even need to put r6t3 back to use glitch stuff on a jtag... heck, I didn't even have to remove the diodes.
yeah ive never pulled r6t3 on my jtag personally and on my JTAG Xenon I have fans forced to 100% at all times just to keep airflow solid
I had an CB1903 Xenon repaired in 2010. It's still working fine to this moment. GPU was replaced with NEW chip, not just reballed (original chip was destroyed on a reflow attempt...) original X-CLAMPs and everything put back as if it was serviced by MS. Only thing different I did was put the fans at 100% when it came back. :nod:
