How do i fix this parental code issue on my xbox?

I recently got tekken 6 and metal gear rising for my old xbox 360 which i’ve had for years as a gift from a family friend, but whenever i try to open either game, i get this prompt. I don’t think the age rating is the issue as ive played far cry 3 on this same console using the physical disc, as well as saints row the third as a digital.

So far, i’ve tried using the original account on the console, getting the code from the person who gave it to me (he doesn’t remember anything that could help), wiping the data off the hard drive and i’m about to try making a whole new microsoft account and changing the code that way to try and bypass it (advice from a cex worker) but so far what i’ve tried hasn’t worked.

Is there anything i can try before just having to suck it up and cycle through 10,000 different combinations until i get the right one?

The 2006 xenon does not output video

Hello everyone Please help, the 2006 xenon starts up without errors, outputs sound, but there is no image on the screen. The AV to HDMI converter does not detect the connected video cable at startup, but after reconnecting to the running console, it shows that there is an NTSC image, but does not output it. The console is not modified, it has an NXE or BLADES dashboard.

Xbox 360 E Red Ring

Error code is 0023, Console hasn’t been powered on since at the latest like 2019, hasn’t been in frequent use since 2016. Immediately flashed a green light for a millisecond then stayed a solid red, PSU stays solid orange when plugged in, flashes green as I try to power on the console then goes back to orange. When powering on the fan spins for half a second then stops, no noise from console. Cleaned everything, haven’t repasted yet but if I can actually get it to boot I will. I don’t believe I have any soldering tools laying around, hoping there’s a fix that doesn’t involve me spending over $20 😂

Backwards compatibility

If I remember right I bought my console brand new. I just got it back out to play some original XBox games and it won’t work. Does the “Microsoft” next to it mean it’s one of the originals that will play OG Xbox games?

The display is normal on the home screen but whenever I boot up a game (any game) I get these flickering dead pixels and green tint hat covers my screen. Could anyone please tell me what is causing this? Thank you.

Why does it show 2 dots for this game? I only have disc 1 installed. I know it’s not a big deal just a small thing

Edit : my question is since I only have one disc installed, why does it show the 2 dots?

Edit solved: I really just wanted to know WHY aurora shows the dots. I see know that it’s just smart and knows that its disc 1, even though I don’t have disc 2 installed.

Posted an early version of this here and it got buried, but it's come a long way since then so worth a proper post.

x360tm is a mod manager for Xbox 360 that runs on your PC and talks to your console over FTP. You open it, it connects to Aurora, and from there you can browse and install pretty much anything directly to the box. No browser, no manually copying files, no figuring out where things are supposed to go.

I saw someone in the comments on the last post say that "terminal app" put people off because they thought it meant typing commands. It doesn't. You navigate with arrow keys and Enter, same as any menu driven thing. There are screenshots in the repo README if you want to see what it looks like before downloading.

Here's what it actually does at this point:

The content browser pulls from the Arisen Studio database and gives you 580 trainers, 70 game mods, 55 homebrew apps, pre-made saves, memory cheats and 133 title update patches all in one place. Everything is searchable and selecting something shows the full detail on the right before you install. You can also drop your own local files into the relevant folders and they show up alongside the database content and install the same way.

The library scan connects to your console, walks your game folders, matches your Title IDs against a list of 3000+ games and builds a My Library view. Every browser has a filter so you can cut it down to just content for games you actually have installed rather than scrolling through hundreds of entries looking for yours.

The repo ships with 550+ Aurora compatible trainer files already in it. You don't need to find them or download them separately, they're just there and install to the right folder automatically.

Transfer Games lets you point it at your local GOD folder, see what you have versus what's on the console, and push games across over FTP or directly to a USB drive.

ISO to GOD is also in there. Point it at a folder of ISOs, pick what you want, hit convert. It handles the conversion using iso2god-rs which downloads itself on first use, then the output goes straight to your GOD folder ready to transfer.

There's a torrent selector built in as well. Drop a torrent file into the Torrent folder, open it in the app and you get a full file tree showing everything inside. You tick the specific files you want, hit download, and it hands it off to a running qBittorrent instance with the right file priorities already set. Same thing as doing it manually through the qBittorrent GUI but without touching it.

The utilities section has an FTP file browser so you can navigate your console's full filesystem without leaving the app, and a tidy-up tool that scans your game folder over FTP, looks up the proper name for every Title ID it finds, shows you a full preview of what it's going to rename and to what format, then does all the renames on the console without copying or moving a single file. If your games are sat in folders named after their Title IDs with no readable name it sorts all of that out in one go.

The app also has a built in updater now. It checks for new versions on launch and either notifies you or handles the whole thing itself depending on what you've got set in settings.

No Python needed, no command line, nothing to install if you don't want to. On Windows you extract the zip and run the exe. On Linux there's an install script that drops it in your applications menu with the icon. Releases are on GitHub.

Happy to answer questions, and if anyone knows of trainer or mod sources I haven't pulled in yet let me know.

Freezing/stuck on set up

So I bought this on marketplace is a pretty clean console, I opened it up looks clean and good on inside but I didn’t go all the way to the motherboard. It was freezing on the dashboard so I tried to factory reset to get rid of the last users data and now I’m stuck on the language screen. I believe it’s a thermal paste issue or an internal storage issue but it has no hard drive.

u/Warm-Letterhead7719 — 3 days ago

It was working up until recently until my friend borrowed it, it turns on just fine and works but after 5-10 minutes the left two lights on the ring flash red. I checked the error code and it seems to be 0013 meaning the ram is overheating. I changed the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU and RAM and have the system open with a fan blowing on it and it still happens. Not even in game. Just on the account selection screen. Any advice would be appreciated! Fans are all clean as is heatsink

I just bought an Xbox 360 for nostalgia for 20 euros. Cables, controller and everything. I bought a classic game and I noticed the movement of the joysticks are really messed up. I need to make a lot of movement in order to interact an action. Is it normal or should I buy a new controller? It’s been +10 years without touching a console so I have no clue.
Thanks for the responses

I know that they are a problem, but is there a chance that replacing these would fix my Xbox with RROD 0020?

So my girlfriend has a 360 ive been trying to get Need for Speed Underground 2 to work on. Originally she had a third party hard drive. I bought an official hard drive and did a format to it so that we would have space. I cannot get the game disk to read. I know the game is on the compatible list, and I have an official hard drive

I have an xbox 360 kinect and I've seen that you can set it up to work with gmod, does that still work? Is there any way to make it work?
I know not many of you have tried but maybe you know more than me

Picked up 4 xbox 360s off the road on a rainy day (3 fat consoles and one slim) and this is the only one that’ll turn on but of course, the disc drive doesn’t work. It doesn’t cause any further damage to the disc after being spun in the drive. Not sure what the problem is.

u/Yeet_Thing5609 — 13 days ago

I know this may be a stupid question weather if it’s just a normal thing or not but as a kid I don’t think I ever heard this rattle before. Now of course I only payed a attention to my games and not the console but again I don’t think it made this noise before, to what I think could be the issue is a misalignment since I opened not to long ago to clean it and stuff and ever since then it made this rattle.

I may get bombed with “Are you stupid or what?” But idc, if there’s a way to get rid of this annoyance it would mean a lot.

Xbox 360 e red blinking light then power off

I recently bought a Xbox 360 e and I had to buy a new power supply, when I go to turn it on it makes a blinking red light and runs the fans at full force then shuts off.

So, idk if this post belongs here. If not, please refere me to the proper sub, but I made a custom rechargeable USBC Xbox 360 controller using a battery from a Bluetooth headset and a USBC battery protection board (TP4056) and a shell from a USB controller.

So, when I got all I needed, I ripped the battery pack conector on the motherboard of the controller, cut down the AA battery wire springs, soldered a wire to both the pos and neg terminals on the board directly to the out + and - of the charging interface, then connected the battery to the terminal. Trimmed out some plastic that didn't let me sit down the shell or pinched the battery, cut down some more plastic around the bumpers because they were getting stuck pressed and that's actually it. Full vibration functionality, full fast charging USB C.

Is not fully finished yet, left analogue is having some drift but last time the trigger potentiometer got stuck pressed for excess heat so I don't wanna break it again.

I also want to properly sit the board/battery because is just there rattling around, maybe 3d print something but there's almost no space left so maybe someone can help me with that.

Also, English is not my native language so mannerisms and phrasing is not the best.

Here's some pics I just took. I insolated the board with paper tape so the wiring is not visible.

Edit: added some pics bc the first time they did not upload.
