Here's part 3 of my Hacking the Xbox 360 Hypervisor blog series. This part covers all the improvements made to the Bad Update exploit to get it near 100% reliability. Part 4 which covers the Peer Pressure exploit will be out in the next week or so... icode4.coffee/?p=1746

I've finished revamping the GameCube article (copetti.org/writings/console…), the anti-piracy section really needed a good refresh.
Only one article left (Xbox) for the next book release!

11 Xboxes were bought in Japan to our man in country, hardly.
So far we've found found all lost Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix DLCs and a critical Japan/Asia Crimson Skies update.
Finds have been shared with Rocky5 and Insignia for distribution!

Thanks to Kozarovv and Elko992, we have an update to Config Loader xefu7 to optionally use signatures to target XBEs with the same titleID (e.g. different langs).
15+ more Xbox games are now playable with the latest xefu pack from the 360 Homebrew Store!

I wrote a post explaining exactly why the Dreamcast will prompt you for the date/time even with a healthy battery, which has puzzled many of us for years!

Here's the first release of the Xbox 360 Peer Pressure softmod. Blog post will be out in a few weeks with all the technical details. Barring any critical bugs I'll be "hibernating" for the next 2 months to recoup my sanity from working on this project github.com/grimdoomer/Xbox36…
A PAC-N1 I worked on a while ago came back for a palette cleanser!
Not only does it heal up Bonk’s sunburn, but it also cleans up the video noise (see lower left black area)!
The LaserActive uses RGB to generate composite, so this is the only way to get more accurate colors!

Buyer be warned!
A few people have been asking about these new redesigned GDEMU clones called "KatanaDrive".
I bought out out of curiosity, and wanted to report that it refuses to direct boot CDI disc images (e.g., indie/homebrew) from openMenu. Instead, you're kicked to BIOS and the CD player opens. From there, you must close it and manually launch the disc.
No such issue has ever been reported with other GDEMU clones and openMenu.
Do I really have to look at finding a way to support this thing now, and at the risk of breaking compatibility with other devices? ☹️
