The Sonus360 is a device that allows the user to use different sounds for pressing the power and eject buttons on a original phat console, like on an Xbox 360 S or Xbox One. The ISD sound chip on an Xbox 360 S can also have its sounds edited with the right flashing toool. You can either use the current stock sounds that are included in the limited edition slims (Gears of War 3, Modern Warfare 3, Star Wars, Halo Reach and Halo 4) or your own custom sounds.

No JTAG or RGH is required for this modification, however it is incompatible with Winchester motherboards due to them not having any connectivity to the ISD sound chip.

Requirements

  • Sonus360 Add-on (Only on Phat)
  • Compatible programmer, such as:
    • RP2040 PicoFlasher
    • JR Programmer
  • A soldering iron, solder, flux, and isopropyl alcohol with cotton swabs
  • 30 AWG or smaller wire; solid core preferred.

Phat Installation

MrMario2011 has a great video tutorial on how to install the Sonus360.

Upgrading the Speaker (Optional)

If you are swapping the sounds of an S console that isn't from a special edition bundle, they will sound quite poor as the motherboards come with a poor sounding beeper speaker. Thus, it is recommended to replace the speaker if you want to use sounds more complex than the stock boot chimes,
