We're going to explain you the Free60 exploit, which consists in launching decrypted code (hello word) on a Xbox 360 system. Once this bug has been well exploited, it will be possible, in a near future, to use your Xbox 360 as a media center, and for example launch XBMC, or homebrews (megadrive, SNES emulators, and others) and maybe Xbox 360 games from the hard disk as well, everything a Xbox 1st generation did but more powerfully ! But before being there, there is a long way to do, even if the basis is here : it's now possible to load decrypted code on Xbox 360 system. It's been for 4years we have waiting for this huge news !

Plug your VGA wire on your Xbox
You must reboot your PC. Once on Windows, launch a CMD MsDOS (start, run, cmd, then press enter). Run in the unzipped directory : NandPro.exe, writing in the CMD : NandPro.exe lpt: -r16 nand.bin

NandPro is going to test all you parallel ports, and recover you system Nand. Make sure you keep it !
With a parallel port, the operation can take 30mins. Once the thing is done, you should get your nand.bin, about 16Mb

Operation success !

Now you can Write the nand, by a hacked one (xenon_hack.bin for example), typing : NandPro.exe lpt: -w16 nand.bin
