How it works

x360key consists of 2 parts, a motherboard and a remote.

The
motherboard connects to the SATA bus inside the Xbox 360, and sits between the
drive and the Xbox 360 motherboard. x360key is a full-fledged computer system
running embedded Linux. It is capable of many things such as
- Emulating the
Xbox 360 DVD drive
- Reading USB hard drives and other USB media with various
file systems
- Updating itself and other hardware from USB media
-
Communicating with the remote and other external USB devices
- And a lot
more! (embedded Web server and Wifi connectivity for example)

The remote
is a simple yet stylish piece of hardware that features an OLED display and 3
buttons. It connects to the x360key motherboard via a high speed USB2
connection. It also has USB for connecting USB hard drives and other devices.
The OLED and buttons are used to control various aspects of x360key. It is also
used for browsing attached USB media devices and launching games.
