It's been quite common knowledge that Team underdog have been working on a modchip for some time now. They had been offering updates and in general, building hype. Well, they have finally announced the release of their latest creation. Called the NME-360, this will be a limited edition mod which will allow you to boot backups without actually ever flashing your DVD drive.

Here's what their release article states:

"The NME-360 enables your XBox360 to play backups of your highly valuable original games. NME-360 is a universal solution for ALL currently available XBox360 Consoles on the market. Forget crazy dual mods with 30+ wires or even bricking your DVD drive by flashing corrupt/wrong firmware files. Your original firmware stays untouched and intact at any time when using the NME-360. There is no need for any firmware-reading or flashing."

"The NME-360 autodetects the inserted media. If the inserted media is a backup NME-360 injects the necessary information to the DVD drive enabling it to boot smoothly ahead! If the media is an original game, or anything else, which doesnt require any further action of the NME-360 then it simply falls asleep so there is no need for an external switch whatsoever. This way it can not be detected online when you play an original onlinegame."
