The front of the console features a "ring of light" that displays four illuminated quadrants in either red or green (Some special editions replaced the green for blue). When the lights turn red, the console has encountered an error, with the number of sectors illuminated informing the user what category the error falls into. Since the redesign of the console removed the red LEDs, this error reporting system is no longer used. The redesigned Jasper motherboard within later Xbox 360 Elite consoles makes for the most reliable Xbox 360 available. The earlier Falcon motherboards, however, are more susceptible to overheating and lead to a much less reliable console gaming experience. Version 3.x uses custom xinput1_*.dll file. Some new games or old games after their latest updates do not permit custom xinput1_*.dll file. Therefore version 3.x doesn’t work with these games any more. To solve the problem, version 4.x was created, which doesn’t use custom xinput1_*.dll file, but creates virtual controller. Currently we are working on version 4.x update, fixing bugs and moving from Microsoft's old “Windows Forms” to latest “Windows Presentation Foundation” application interface. Redesigned motherboard. Introduced HDMI port and HANA chip. Introduced 80nm GPU and either 80nm or 90nm eDRAM (except initial models). Improved GPU heatsink. The controller profile loaded may match the name of your controller, but not actually be for the controller you own.

The Xbox 360 is remembered fondly by many gamers, as it is home to one of the best gaming libraries of all time. But, with all of the different models – Xbox 360 Elite vs Slim (or ‘S') vs E – over the course of the console's 11-year run, it can be difficult to discern which system is right for you.Miller, Jonathan (2005-12-05). "Xbox 360: Glitch In The System?". IGN. Archived from the original on 2007-10-13 . Retrieved 2007-01-03. Original style consoles also have two front-mounted memory card slots for the system's proprietary Memory Unit. These can be used to transfer profile and game data from one Xbox 360 to another. Memory Units up to 512MB are available from Microsoft. The "Arcade" model formerly came with a 256MB Memory Unit, but with the Jasper motherboard revision of September 2008, the "Arcade" model began to include 256MB of built-in flash memory. This was later increased to 512MB. The memory card slots were replaced with USB ports on the newer Xbox 360 S models.
