Man have you read anything on this forum? I don't mean to be rude, but read just a little and you could tell what's going on.

No man. There are no more cutting, tracing or soldering. Everything is done with software now. The tutorial shows exactly what need to be done. Let us know if you need any clarification on anything. I didn't mean to be rude before, we try to be as beginner friendly as possible.

i like my blaster.
the thing is you dont need to flash your first time with a blaster.
It will just be one more thing that will give you a hard time.
the first time just flash it without the blaster.

it will work but i like the v1 better.
you dont power the 360 dvd drive with the console.
you use a computer power supply.i think that is better.

you can flash a firmware in the benq that will let you dump a game.
most of us dont do this because you have to flash back and forth.one flash for dumping and then flash back to play your backup.
the sh-d162c dvd drive is still the best way to make a backup
