  1. The Hawk project, spearheaded by developer Ryzee119, breathes new life into the Xbox gaming experience by introducing an open-source replacement for the Microsoft Xbox Live Communicator. This innovative device maintains all original functionalities but includes significant upgrades like a 3.5mm TRRS jack to support a broader range of headsets and replaces the traditional volume wheel with a more modern button-controlled interface, where volume levels are indicated by the brightness of an LED. The device is designed for easy integration into Xbox controllers and includes features such as button-activated volume control, mute, and microphone gain adjustment, all with corresponding LED signals. Users can save their settings directly on the device, with the option to reset to default settings as needed. For DIY enthusiasts, Hawk offers detailed assembly and programming instructions through resources like Kitspace and KiCanvas, and it supports programming via USB DFU or an ST-Link interface. For more information on assembly, programming, and usage, enthusiasts are encouraged to visit the Hawk project's comprehensive guide on GitHub. Explore the Hawk project on GitHub.
  2. In another development for original Xbox gaming enthusiasts, a new port of Zelda 3 has been released for the original Xbox. Ported By Calistex, this project marks their first attempt at porting on the Xbox. The port is based on an older version of https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/zelda3 and lacks some updates from the most recent iterations found in the original repository. Despite these omissions, the core gameplay remains intact, allowing players to dive back into the beloved world of Zelda on their classic Xbox consoles. However, users should be aware of several known issues: Intermittent audio failures at the start of the game. Absence of certain features present in the latest repository updates. Screen misalignment when adjusting the ExtendedAspectRatio to 4:3 via the zelda3.ini file. The port was developed using the NXDK toolchain. Interested users can clone and contribute to the project from GitHub using the provided repository link https://github.com/Calistex/zelda3-xbox Disclaimer: Users must own the original Zelda 3 game and provide their own game assets in order to use this port.

  6. Fans of the classic platformer Celeste Classic have a new way to enjoy the game, thanks to a recent port to the original Xbox. This version was made possible by Daniel Pinheiro, who used the NXDK, an open-source development kit for the console. Originally created by Matt Thorson and Noel Berry, Celeste Classic gained popularity on the PICO-8 platform for its challenging gameplay and touching story. Its success led to the development of an expanded version, simply called Celeste, which was celebrated for its depth and narrative. The move to bring Celeste Classic to the original Xbox allows new and old players alike to experience the game on a classic console. This project, led by Pinheiro, shows the dedication of the gaming community to keep beloved games accessible and enjoyable on a wide range of platforms. The port is open source and can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/danielgpinheiro/ccleste-xbox. This allows anyone interested in the game or in game development to see how it was done and even contribute to its ongoing improvement. Bringing Celeste Classic to the original Xbox is a nod to the past and a step towards preserving the game's legacy. It offers players a unique way to experience the game, combining nostalgia with the timeless charm of Celeste Classic. Video credit: PkGam (via YouTube) 3Qs2RGoWhFZcHhCI.mp4

  11. ENDGAME emerges as a groundbreaking exploit for the original Xbox, compatible with all kernel and dashboard versions. It uniquely requires only a memory card, bypassing the need for a game or a working DVD drive. Special acknowledgment goes to @shutterbug2000 for discovering this exploit vector and to @gaasedelen for refining it, offering unparalleled control without infringing on copyright laws or Xbox security mechanisms. The project ensures it does not engage in using copyrighted material or bypassing Xbox's security measures. It specifically initiates a uniquely signed XBE without modifying the console's kernel or permitting unauthorized retail signed xbes. Users should acknowledge the potential risks, including data loss or damage to the console, upon using this software. Below are some FAQ regarding ENDGAME. Q: Is this a softmod? A: No, by itself, ENDGAME is not a softmod. But it will make softmodding significantly more accessible as the community integrates it into existing softmod solutions. Q: What is new about this exploit? A: This exploit will enable people to softmod any revision of the original Xbox without needing a specific game. It will also allow people to easily launch a homebrew XBE (such as the Insignia setup assistant, or content scanning tools) by simply inserting a memory card into an unmodded Xbox. Q: I don't have a memory card, can I use something else? A: Yes, any FATX-formatted compatible USB device and controller port dongle should work. Q: How does this exploit work? A: The exploit targets an integer overflow in the dashboard's handling of savegame images. When the dash attempts to parse the specially crafted images on the memory card, ENDGAME obtains arbitrary code execution. For more details please visit the GitHub repository.
