Overview

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

sits

 

between

 

your

 

Xbox

 

360

 

motherboard

 

and

 

ODD

 

(Optical

 

Disc

 

Drive).

 

Two

 

fundamental

 

modes

 

of

 

operation

 

are

 

supported,

 

pass

through

 

and

 

emulation

 

mode.

 

The

 

current

 

mode

 

is

 

selected

 

by

 

the

 

mode

 

switch.

 

The

 

mode

 

of

 

operation

 

should

 

only

 

be

 

changed

 

while

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

is

 

powered

 

off,

 

do

 

not

 

toggle

 

the

 

switch

 

while

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

is

 

powered

 

on.

  

 

Pass

through

 

Mode

 

In

 

pass

through

 

mode,

 

your

 

original

 

ODD

 

is

 

connected

 

directly

 

to

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360,

 

with

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

effectively

 

disabled.

 

In

 

this

 

mode

 

you

 

can

 

play

 

original

 

game

 

discs,

 

DVD

 

movies

 

etc

 

and

 

safely

 

sign

 

in

 

to

 

Xbox

 

Live

 

to

 

play

 

games

 

online.

  

Emulation

 

Mode

 

In

 

emulation

 

mode,

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

your

 

Xbox

 

360

 

and

 

replaces

 

your

 

ODD.

 

From

 

this

 

mode

 

you

 

can

 

enjoy

 

playing

 

ISO’s

 

directly

 

from

 

the

 

attached

 

HDD.

 

When

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

is

 

initially

 

powered

 

on,

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

will

 

scan

 

the

 

attached

 

HDD

 

and

 

generate

 

a

 

listing

 

of

 

available

 

ISO

 

files.

 

This

 

will

 

subsequently

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

display

 

the

 

on

screen

 

menu

 

system.

be

 

presented

 

with

 

the

 

list

 

of

 

ISO

 

files

 

on

 

your

 

HDD,

 

represented

 

as

 

a

 

series

 

of

 

folders.

 

Using

 

your

 

controller,

 

navigate

 

this

 

list

 

and

 

when

play,

 

press

 

the

 

A

then

 

be

with

 

a

 

message

 

saying

 

“ISO

 

selected.

 

Please

At

 

this

 

stage

 

you

either

 

by

 

pressing

 

the

 

eject

 

button

 

on

 

the

 

front

 

of

 

the

 

console,

 

an

remote

 

control,

 

or

 

using

 

the

 

controller

 

to

 

navigate

 

back

 

to

 

the

 

main

 

dash

 

screen

 

where

 

you

 

can

 

select

 

Mixed

 

Media

 

Disc

 

and

 

then

 

press

 

X

 

to

 

eject.

 

At

 

this

 

point

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

will

 

mount

 

the

 

selected

 

ISO

 

and

 

after

 

a

 

few

 

seconds

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

will

 

show

 

that

 

game

 

as

 

inserted

 

in

 

the

 

same

 

way

 

it

 

would

 

with

 

any

 

regular

 

game

 

disc.

 

You

 

may

 

then

 

start

 

playing

 

at

 

your

 

leisure

 

(if

 

the

 

game

 

has

 

not

 

already

 

automatically

 

started

 

due

 

to

 

the

 

dashboard

 

auto

start

 

feature).

 

When

 

you

 

wish

 

to

 

switch

 

to

 

a

 

different

 

game,

 

the

 

procedure

 

is

 

just

 

as

 

simple.

and

 

then

 

eject

 

the

again

 

using

 

any

 

of

 

the

 

methods

 

described

 

above.

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

will

 

then

 

re

mount

 

the

 

“mixed

 

media

 

disc”

 

which

 

makes

 

up

 

the

 

menu

 

system,

 

and

 

you

 

may

 

browse

 

the

 

menu

 

system

 

and

 

select

 

a

 

new

 

ISO

 

just

 

as
