  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.

  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.

  20. PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years, users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to the absence of open-source code from the original developer. In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD, maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones. The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source development. Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support. Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements. --- This format maintains the integrity of the original content while presenting it in a clean, easy-to-read article format suitable for publication on your website. _____ _____ ( ___ ) ( ___ ) | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | | | ____ ____ __ _ _ ____ ____ _ _ ____ __ ____ | | | | ( _ \( _ \ / \ ( \/ )( __)(_ _)/ )( \( __) / \ / ___) | | | | ) __/ ) /( O )/ \/ \ ) _) )( ) __ ( ) _) ( O )\___ \ | | | | (__) (__\_) \__/ \_)(_/(____) (__) \_)(_/(____) \__/ (____/ | | |___|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|___| (_____) (_____) ****************************************************************************** * * * .:Release V1.0.0 (Xbox V1.0 - 1.6) Xenium Modchip Only:. * * * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** * Version :............V1.0.0 * Size :.....................2048 KB * * Date :.............20/01/24 * Type :..................Modchip OS * * Groups :..Team Resurgent & Cerbios * Platform :..........Microsoft Xbox * ****************************************************************************** * Discord :........https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK * * Patreon :........https://www.patreon.com/teamresurgent * * Ko-fi :..........https://ko-fi.com/teamresurgent * * Github :.........https://github.com/Team-Resurgent * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** *....:Changes/Additions:.....................................................* ****************************************************************************** * * * --A new custom OS for Xenium/OpenXenium Chips.-- * * * * Release: V1.0.0 * * * * Added Ability To Flash Bios. * * Added Ability To Delete Bios. * * Added Ability To Launch Bios Or TSOP. * * Added Ability To Set Auto Launch Of Bios. * * Added FTP Server (Username: "xbox" Password: "xbox") * * Added Skin Manager * * Added Support For Larger HDD Partitions * * Added HDD Lock/Unlock Feature * * Added Ability To Backup & Restore EEPROM * * Added LED Control * * Added Ability To Adjust Auto Boot Time Delay * * Added Auto Manage Bank Sizes * * Added Ability To Rename Bios After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Bios Led After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Video Settings * * Added Ability To Change Audio Settings * * Added Ability To Change Region Settings * * Added Network Support DHCP / Static * * HD + Enabled (FW 2.2.2 Required) * * Added System Info Section * * Bored?

  21. PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years, users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to the absence of open-source code from the original developer. In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD, maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones. The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source development. Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support. Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements. --- This format maintains the integrity of the original content while presenting it in a clean, easy-to-read article format suitable for publication on your website. _____ _____ ( ___ ) ( ___ ) | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | | | ____ ____ __ _ _ ____ ____ _ _ ____ __ ____ | | | | ( _ \( _ \ / \ ( \/ )( __)(_ _)/ )( \( __) / \ / ___) | | | | ) __/ ) /( O )/ \/ \ ) _) )( ) __ ( ) _) ( O )\___ \ | | | | (__) (__\_) \__/ \_)(_/(____) (__) \_)(_/(____) \__/ (____/ | | |___|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|___| (_____) (_____) ****************************************************************************** * * * .:Release V1.0.0 (Xbox V1.0 - 1.6) Xenium Modchip Only:. * * * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** * Version :............V1.0.0 * Size :.....................2048 KB * * Date :.............20/01/24 * Type :..................Modchip OS * * Groups :..Team Resurgent & Cerbios * Platform :..........Microsoft Xbox * ****************************************************************************** * Discord :........https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK * * Patreon :........https://www.patreon.com/teamresurgent * * Ko-fi :..........https://ko-fi.com/teamresurgent * * Github :.........https://github.com/Team-Resurgent * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** *....:Changes/Additions:.....................................................* ****************************************************************************** * * * --A new custom OS for Xenium/OpenXenium Chips.-- * * * * Release: V1.0.0 * * * * Added Ability To Flash Bios. * * Added Ability To Delete Bios. * * Added Ability To Launch Bios Or TSOP. * * Added Ability To Set Auto Launch Of Bios. * * Added FTP Server (Username: "xbox" Password: "xbox") * * Added Skin Manager * * Added Support For Larger HDD Partitions * * Added HDD Lock/Unlock Feature * * Added Ability To Backup & Restore EEPROM * * Added LED Control * * Added Ability To Adjust Auto Boot Time Delay * * Added Auto Manage Bank Sizes * * Added Ability To Rename Bios After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Bios Led After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Video Settings * * Added Ability To Change Audio Settings * * Added Ability To Change Region Settings * * Added Network Support DHCP / Static * * HD + Enabled (FW 2.2.2 Required) * * Added System Info Section * * Bored?

  22. Awesome, thanks for testing, Some good news for those who want to try different bioses
  23. Happy 2024! To kick off the new year, a new patchset combining both XL HDD and XL USB patches has been released! They will be included in the next FATXplorer update, but if you are using J-Runner, you can get them now by updating to V3.3.0 r3. Ever since the release of the XL patches that raised Xbox 360 storage limits to 16 TB, many have messaged me asking if there is a way to use both patches at the same time. Currently, you must choose either XL USB or XL HDD. Over the past few weeks, I have put the finishing touches on a combined patchset and it's now available in today's J-Runner update (V3.3.0 r3). With this new "XL Both" patchset, you can now use 1 XL internal SATA HDD and 2 XL USBs at the same time, unlocking up to 48 TB in total possible storage!
