So it takes up to 15 minutes to apply (if successful) and has to be done every time you start your XBox 360. It’s great that there’s no hardware changes involved so even I could make changes, but at every boot?
Now you reminded me of the 3ds homebrew scene. It was so fun. Its amazing how active it was as well. But now its at the point where you can homebrew one by scanning a qr code, no need to buy a specific game or special cartridge.
Yeah, hacking a 3DS is incredibly easy and painless today. Back when I first hacked my 3DS I had to do it through the browser, after inserting a bunch of code on an SD card, and it only had a 50/50 chance of actually working, with the risk of bricking the thing.

MVG says not likely since the bootloader would need an exploit as well… Which currently doesn’t have a soft mod related exploit
Doesn’t the Xbox 360 have a sleep mode? Basically you’d only need to do it again if the power goes out.
Nope sleep modes weren’t a thing outside of handhelds until the next gen
