How to Modify My XBox 360 for Free
Xbox 360 consoles are manufactured by Microsoft and can be modified to play homemade or archival back-up copies of game DVD discs. These "mods" are easy and free to do, requiring only a software application and tools to open the Xbox 360 console's case. Modding your Xbox console requires only about an hour of your time. It will require you to download a BIN flashing program onto the hard drive of your computer.

Utilize a Torx size 7 screwdriver to open the console's casing. Open your 360 console and read the guide included in the References section. This consists of unhinging the plastic cover from the Xbox 360's metal case and then unscrewing several Torx size 7 screws with a Torx screwdriver. Disconnect your Xbox 360 DVD drive from the console and plug in your SATA cable from your computer to the console's DVD drive. Doing this allows you to modify or "flash" BIN files from your PC to the Xbox.

Allow the JungleFlasher BIN file copy proces to reach 100 percent completion before continuing to modify your Xbox 360 console. Power on your PC and run your web browser. Download JungleFlasher (see References) and install the free program. Run the JungleFlasher program and select the Xbox 360's DVD drive from the drop-down menu. Click "Edit BIN" and then select "OK." The JungleFlasher program will then read your Xbox 360 DVD drive's BIN file for editing on your PC.

Unplug the SATA cable from your computer and reassemble the Xbox 360 console before powering it on. The JungleFlasher application will create an altered/edited BIN file for copying or "flashing" from your computer to the console's DVD drive. Choose the BIN file you wish to "flash" to your Xbox's DVD drive and select "OK." JungleFlasher will copy your modified BIN file to the console's DVD drive. Replace any screws and reassemble all internal components before powering the Xbox 360 machine on.

Tips & Warnings
Do not run additional applications or any system tasks on your PC while JungleFlasher reads or modifies your Xbox 360's BIN file. Intensive computing tasks decrease your computer's performance and could possibly result in hardware errors in the Xbox 360 console's DVD drive.

yes you can play torrented games with this (BTW you can be thrown in federal prison (it's like jail but MUCH worse) for doing that as it is a federal crime (i do it anyway)). but yes, a "torrented (actually pirated because you don't own the game) copy is the same as a "backup" copy you made LEGALLY, except it's ILLEGAL!
