@eri yes, but any #FAT32-firmatted flashdrive will do.

@hexaheximal @nixfreak well, yes and no.

#BadUpdate is a "#tethered" exploit and it only allows running games and unsigned code. You can run #Homebrew and custom launchers this way but that's not gonna help re: #OS1337!

  • It does not replace #RGH3 as "hard mod" (which nowadays is chipless and only requires a #PiPico for #flashing in return, and that's needed for #XeLL aka "Xenon Linux Loader" to run #Linux on the #Xbox360.

Including the #Free60 Live-DVD!

When I tried booting linux 6.17 with the xbox 360 patches on my 360 slim via xell (badupdate + freemyxe), it crashes dramatically after a few seconds with the screen showing glitched graphics. Is this a known issue?

@wyatt yes, it is simply because the #Xbox360 is relatively easy to mod (#RGH3), even the #Winchester Version can at least be "tethered" jailbroken (using the #BadUpdate - #exploit) and #AFAICT it's not possible to break the #XboxOne as #Microsoft designed their own custom *on-CPU die "Security Complex" with everything being end-to-end, hierachically encrypted from the per-CPU Key down, so the only place something is unencrypted is inside the APU which has the CPU & GPU on.

And if you try to #RGH that one and destabilize the #CPU it'll literally give you the finger and reboot the moment it detects some fucky-wucky - ness in terms of clocks and/or voltages...

#BadUpdate is a cool #Exploit for the #Xbox360, but sadly only acts as a "#TetheredJailbreak" and not a replacement for #RGH3 and other #mods.

  • But it does work on #Winchester revision mainboards, so that's a bonus...

I can confirm the exploit on the works well after a bit of weekend tinkering!

Playing certain games on actual hardware, such as the leaked GoldenEye 007 prototype or long since delisted Marble Blast Ultra, is a surreal experience I didn't expect to be having this week.

I'd definitely recommend checking this out if you have an Xbox 360 lying around, along with a large capacity USB drive and a healthy dose of patience.

Exploit screen via the Rock Band Blitz demo. This process can take a while, so grab a snack and a tasty beverage and scroll through Mastodon for a bit while it's working.

The Rock Band Blitz logo is centered in the screen. The background is a purple to orange to yellow gradient resembling a sunset or sunrise. Text at the bottom reads "Running exploit..."A still frame from the first level of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox 360, an unreleased prototype that was leaked in 2021. As far as I can tell, this is a feature complete upgrade of the N64 original with improved graphics and a widescreen presentationA still frame from an advanced level from Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360. This was one of my favorite games on the system back in the day, so I was crushed when I lost access to my original Xbox Live account along with a license for this game which was delisted in 2011. Marble Blast Ultra has since been released on Windows as an unofficial adaptation, but something about playing it how I originally experienced it just feels right

Nice to see the xbox360 scene still pushing forward. Not a real replacement for a RGH3 or jtag but awrsome to see e.g. Winchester hardware being possible to run homebrew. -》#xbox360 #badupdate #homebrew #xbox #games #game 'New Xbox 360 exploit "BadUpdate" discovered, allows you to softmod any 360 console' gbatemp.net/threads/new-xbox-3

Hurry up, who needs testing, are you done yet, why would we want that? All things that precede the Crowdstrike issue.

2023-07-10

Let me see. If the device isn't under warranty and the manufacturer bricks the device and you are SOL for a replacement? Telling them no replacement unless under warranty is a recipe for people to go elsewhere. Also, who was RESPONSIBLE for QA as someone truly screwed up.
