Modified Avalaunch Disc Allows to Boot Xbox1 Homebrew like XBMC on 360
>> From farmboynick:
[QUOTE]
I have just launched XBMC [for Xbox1] on my Xbox360, it was so simple ... I patched Avalaunch(info) to boot from disk [with a halo title id] and put a XBMC folder on the disk. After Avalaunch booted I went to file manager and copied the XBMC folder to the E-drive, then simply clicked the XBMC XBE file and it worked.
So far I have been able to launch all XBMC versions that I have tried and can also launch surreal64 and some xbox1 games in file form from HDD. All from selecting the XBE in the Avalaunch file manager
Some versions of XBMC can run picture files, some can run music files, so far I can't get AVI movies to play or gain network access.

GOD2XB1
>> Rab released GOD2XB1, so Xbox 1 GOD support is now possible:
[QUOTE]
This trivial tool will make these modifications to the god package until the new iso2god.
All it does is change that one byte and then rehash the file for you (simplifying these 2 steps):
- Open the CON stub and change the byte at offset 0x346 from 0x70 to 0x50.
- Calculate the SHA-1 hash from offset 0x344 to 0xAFFF (you should be hashing 0xACBC bytes of data) and write the hash value at offset 0x32C.

You could design the next revision of the 360 motherboard
>> From joystiq.com:
[QUOTE]
A Microsoft job listing reveals that the company is looking for staff to design a new Xbox 360 motherboard. From the sound of it, the new "Motherboard Design Engineer" will be helping to design further revisions of the existing Xbox 360 architecture, rather than the hardware for a next-next-generation system. "The responsibilities of this position are focused on specifying, designing (schematic capture, PCB layout, BOM, cost analysis), implementing and verifying the mother-board and other various sub-system boards that make up the Xbox 360 product line," the job description reads.
