as i'm trying to purchase a pre-modded system (which many members of this forum are kind enough to help with), i'm finding various terms and concepts i'm just not familiar with. i thought i'd ask this so it can help other noobs as well.
please provide only NON TECHNICAL explanations. for instance, when i ask about RGH, i'm not looking for the pulse sent to processor etc. i'm looking for stuff like - this is what it does like region free, or play backups, etc.
1. what is the real purpose of RGH or JTAG? apart from playing unsigned code?
2. what are the different versions of RGH for? what are the general improvements in them or added features?
3. what is NAND or Dual NAND- i know it stands for Not AND, but really how does it relate to x360 and what does it really do?
4. i hear a lot of different things like Jasper, m****x, Demon- what is that about? same thing new versions? different features? i had to edit this post as i might have included a different brand of hack- popular movie name. just want to get educated so moderators please allow
5. i understand with dual NAND you can play xbox live. what about xbox key? how does dual NAND enable you to play xbox live in a way that the original xbox doesnt? i could simply get a subscription and go online yes?
thanks in advance. hopefully with your advice i can make a good buying decision. maybe i don't need demon, and i can do with a lower console or hack? maybe i don't need xbox key or maybe i do?
