Xbox 360:Using Modern Controllers

Thanks to InvoxiPlayGames and Octal450, it is possible to use almost any controller on a modded Xbox 360 with either a NAND patch or a DashLaunch plugin.

Enabling UsbdSecPatch in DashLaunch

You have to re-plug the adapter after the system is completely booted.

1. Make sure to have a USB controller adapter that supports XInput. Most will generally work.
   • A Magic-Ns adapter from Mayflash is a good option. The Lite version can only sync wireless contollers.
2. Put the adapter into XInput mode and pair your controller with the adapter.
   • If you have Smart TV with Bluetooth, turn off your TV during pairing process.
   • You have to pair only once.
   • You can use an unofficial controller's home button to access the Xbox's guide.
   • Works with original Xbox games.
   • You will need seperate adapters for multiple controllers.
   • Both Xbox Series (BLE) and Xbox One (BT) controllers are supported.
   • Some early Xbox One controllers (Models 1567 and 1697) are RF only. You can't use them wirelessly, but can be used while plugged into a wired USB adapter.
3. Download UsbdSecPatch and copy to it to your hard drive.
4. Add the patch as Dashlaunch plugin.
   • launch.ini should contain this: [Plugins] plugin1 = Hdd:\UsbdSecPatch.xex
   • If you already have some DashLaunch plugins, you can put the patch in your desired plugin slot.
5. Done!

Patching the NAND to have UsbdSecPatch

You have to re-plug the adapter after the system is completely booted.

If you don't want to use a plugin slot in DashLaunch, it's also possible to build an XeBuild NAND to have UsbdSecPatch built in.

1. Make sure to have a USB controller adapter that supports XInput. Most will generally work.
   • A Magic-Ns adapter from Mayflash is a good option. The Lite version can only sync wireless contollers.
2. Put the adapter into XInput mode and pair your controller with the adapter.
   • If you have Smart TV with Bluetooth, turn off your TV during pairing process.
   • You have to pair only once.
   • You can use an unofficial controller's home button to access the Xbox's guide.
   • Works with original Xbox games.
   • You will need seperate adapters for multiple controllers.
   • Both Xbox Series (BLE) and Xbox One (BT) controllers are supported.
   • Some early Xbox One controllers (Models 1567 and 1697) are RF only. You can't use them wirelessly, but can be used while plugged into a wired USB adapter.
3. Download and open up Jrunner w/ Extras.
   • If you don't have your NAND backup already, you need to dump your NAND in order to add the patch. You can go here for a NAND dumping tutorial on an RGH/JTAG Xbox 360.
4. Add your flashdump.bin NAND backup in the Load Source section in Jrunner.
5. On the top right of Jrunner, navigate to the XeBuild section and click the patches tab.
   • Make sure to check for and add any patch you might need/want for your JTAG/RGH system, like SMC+ for RGH 1.2.
6. Click Create XeBuild to make your patched NAND image.
7. Now all you need to do is write your patched NAND to your Xbox 360, either using XeLL or Simple 360 Nand Flasher.
   • If you are using XeLL, copy your updflash.bin file to the root of a USB drive and cold boot into XeLL using the eject button. XeLL will automatically flash the NAND for you.
   • If you are using Simple 360 NAND Flasher, copy updflash.bin next to where the program's executible is located. An example would be Usb:/apps/Simple 360 NAND Flasher/updflash.bin. You can also copy the flash file and NAND Flasher program to the internal drive if you wish.
     • Open 360 NAND Flasher in your preferred dashboard, like Aurora/Freestyle3/XeXMenu
       • Press the A button to flash the NAND.
8. Done!
