What exactly can a JTAG Xbox do?

I've heard about this JTAG stuff, but the only thing I know is that you can play pretty much any game for free on it. I might get my Xbox flashed if I learn more about it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Basicly a Jtag is the holy grail of Xbox.... You can run full 360 games, arcade games, free dlc, emulators and if you have it setup correctly you can make real time editors and do cod lobbies for people.

 

A JTAG or RGH are not the same as a flashed XBOX 360. The flashed XBOX 360 will allow you to play backup copies of XBOX 360 game discs. A JTAG or RGH will allow you to run unsigned code on your console which opens the door to homebrew software, conversion to a devkit and yes playing games off of a HDD.

 

That's good to know. Thanks.

 

What do you mean by "real-time editors"? What does that mean?

 

It means you can poke and edit values in real time

 

Real-Time Editors (RTEs) allow you to modify items in the game in real time by connecting to your console from your computer while playing the game. An example would be like changing the amount of ammo your player has in Halo 4.


Yeah, what he said

 

Oh! I've seen that before in Halo: Reach. It was very interesting, how he could just spawn items mid-game.
