Iso2God v1.0.0 *update v1.0.6*
>> KrK / Team 360h released a new app called ISO2GOD:
[QUOTE]
Following on from Team XeDev's release of NXE2GOD, here's a new PC app for converting Xbox 360 ISO images straight into Games on Demand containers.
While it's possible to extract ISOs and run them off USB using replacement dashboards, it's nice to be able to run them as GODs as well.
This functionality has only been available through the Xbox 360 SDK until now, so we thought it was about time a legal app was released to perform the same task.
Thanks go out to Team XeDev/Dstruktiv for NXE2GOD which helped us figure out what was needed for CON->GOD converts.
Special thanks to rolly poly for testing and putting up with my endless ramblings about file formats!
FEATURES
* ISO to Games on Demand container conversion
* Support for XSF and GDF/XDVDFS ISOs
* Automatically reads title info from ISO default.xex
* Multiple I2G conversions can be queued up to run
- Requires .NET Framework 2.0
[/QUOTE]
*Update* v1.0.6 has been released.
What's new/fixed:
+ New GDF/XDVDFS code to improve stability and prepare for removing padding sectors in v1.1 release.
+ Taskbar icon now flashes when a conversion finishes
~ Fix: Access Denied errors when trying to open ISO on network shares.
~ Fix: Crash when locating default.xex on certain ISOs
~ Fix: Proper checking of fields in the "Add ISO" GUI
~ Fix: Trying to use an Xbox1 ISO won't throw unhandled errors. (Xbox1 still not supported)
~ Fix: Lots of other minor stuff.

XM360 v0.6 *update v0.6b*
>> Team XeDev released a new version of XM360:
[QUOTE]
This includes all of the features of XBLA Unlocker previously released by dstruktiv.
The additional "Collection Management" is contributed by node21.
What's new/fixed (since v0.4):
* Added support for all screen resolutions
* Added button to return to dash. This might take a bit of time since this is when it writes the report file to the USB stick. This also means that if you exit via the center X on the controller, the report won't get written (unless you had clicked on Scan, which exits the Collection Manager and also causes it to write the report)
* Added titles that you have, and that are excluded to new sections of the report. The Have titles include their full path. This can help you figure out why NXE can't see them, but XM360 can.
* Massive rewrite to support DLC (so, expect some bugs)
* Supoort for viewing your installed DLC, and unlocking it
* layout isn't great, but it works well enough for now
* the button to unlock DLC *only* affects the DLC currently listed. So, if you want to unlock it all, make sure you have selected the [All] category
* the xbla_report.txt is written any time you exit the Collection Manager, so expect it to be a little slow. I'll probably add a button for the next release.
* Include "hdd:\\360dashit\\Content\\0000000000000000" as a source of XBLA files
* When sorting by ratings, higher number of raters counts for more. Also, highest ratings are at the top now, not the bottom
* 0.6b fixes launching correct titles from within Collection Manager

Xbr Flasher v0.2
>> PleXo released a new version of XBR Flasher:
[QUOTE]
Simple batch file for flashing/restoring your xbox 360 nand chips, compatible with all revisions to date. nand backups along with kv and config seperate and log files from nandpro all kept in /backups/ restoring will come next havent done that yet...
Features:
* Automatic CB Detection
* Automatic dumping (2 times)
* Automatic checksum compare
* Automatic Keyvault and config extraction and injection
* Automatic XBR.bin selection
* Keeps backups in tidy folders
* Supports 16mb and 256/512mb nands
XBRFlasher will now dump 1 sector from the NAND and run cbcheck.exe to determine the CB Version, it will then (based on your board revision you picked) decide if the xbox is exploitable or not, it will continue if exploitable and go back to start with an error if your xbox has an unexploitable CB version
Looking further into GUI idea... have a rough draft layed out still deciding on alot of things...
**PLEASE NOTE ** I recommend that when XBRFlasher tells you to press any key to continue flashing, you run 1 of the backup files through Degraded or similar to check for badblocks!
What's new/fixed:
* Added Automatic CB Checking, cleaned up some of batch script fixed some misc errors coming upp

HDD Compatibility Partition Fixer v1
>> From the readme/nfo:
[QUOTE]
XeDev proudly presents a Xbox1-Compatibility-Partition Fixer. It will create a proper Partition2 on a X360-HDD that was formatted via XBReboot. Be sure that you reboot your console after executing this program. XeXMenu(info)'s FTP won't see the Partition until there's a file on it, so copy a file via XeXMenu on it and it will be shown via FTP too.
This Patcher does NOT include the XBox1-Emulator files!
!!! WARNING !!!
This application will wipe your maybe existing Partition2

Microsoft cites Apple Macs as a defense in Xbox antitrust case
>> From techflash.com:
[QUOTE]
If Apple can prevent another computer maker from selling unauthorized Mac OS X machines, then Microsoft should be able to stop another accessory vendor from selling unauthorized Xbox 360 plugins loaded with video-game cheats.
That's one of the arguments the Redmond company makes in a new motion to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed in November by Datel Design & Development, a maker of attachable memory units and game controllers for the Microsoft console.
Whether or not you buy Microsoft's contention, it's a pretty fascinating twist in a case that could ultimately determine the rules of competition in the business of video game consoles, games and accessories.
Quick background: Datel argues that Microsoft is monopolizing the market for "Multiplayer Online Dedicated Gaming Systems," and using that position to unfairly control the related market for video-game accessories -- in this case by putting up technological barriers to Datel memory units and controllers that compete with Microsoft's own Xbox 360 accessories.

Xbox360 IDA Plugin Update
>> From xorloser's blog:
[QUOTE]
Here is version 1.5 of the PPC Altivec Plugin for IDA v5.6 which adds support for special instructions that are used by some PPC based devices. This was originally written by Dean Ashton and then updated by Takires.
This is useful when disassembling Xbox360 and PS3 binaries in IDA as they utilise these special instructions that are not supported by IDAs built in PPC disassembler module.
I have done some fixes to instructions that were previously handled incorrectly, as well as adding support for some new instructions. I also fixed an issue where instruction sizes were being reported incorrectly resulting in an incorrect disassembly.

New Cygnos Beta Toolbox able to patch 'certain images'
>> Team Cygnos released a new Cygnos toolbox (beta) that allows to patch 'certain images' to work with the Cygnos360 V2. In other words, the Cygnos360 v2 will now not only work with freeBOOT, but also with XBReboot images:
[QUOTE]
"Certain" images floating around the internet make it necessary to patch the KV and SMC in order to run on Cygnos360 V2. This toolbox adds all the required functions to easily accomplish this task. The "Program Flash" dialog now allows you to specify a patched SMC and KV to inject into the image on the fly. A patched SMC can be created with the "Patch SMC" dialog, if the SMC from your original image is known to the toolbox. If this is not the case, there are pre-patched SMCs available "at the usual places".
Another dialog "Extract KV" has been added, which will simply dump the KV from your original image (Remember to use the "Patch SMC" and "Extract KV" dialogs only with original images, they won't work otherwise).
Please note, that this is beta software! It should only be tested by experienced users.
Have fun with this new toolbox and please report any bugs!
