NandPro 2.0c *Update: 2.0d*
>> A new version of NandPro(info) has been released, the original cmd-line tool that allows you to read/flash the Xbox360 NAND via LTP or USB:
What's new/fixed:
* Bit settling verify feature added for LPT reading
* Add support for Jasper16a
* Improved detection for virtual nand device, fixes some problems with writing to vnand.
* Always corrects the ECC bytes (but not SPARE), even in raw mode
ie: A raw file that has been hex edited can simply be flashed with -w
* Added command line swithces
%r will read SPARE data only, 16 bytes per block
@w will write RAW file, while correcting block numbers
Can "force" a flash config on command line by appending :HexFlashConfig
*update* 2.0d has been released.
What's new/fixed:
* For compatibility purposes -w does not calculate ECC
* Raw files are flashed pure using -w. To correct ECC errors use *w instead
ie: A raw file that has been hex edited can simply be flashed with *w

Dxbx v0.1 Alpha - Xbox1 Emu WIP for PC
>> Dxbx v0.1 Alpha has been released. Dxbx is a Delphi port based on Cxbx(info), an Xbox1 Emulator for PC:
[QUOTE]
It has been a long time since the last release.. (Xmas 2008).
But now its time to show the world what has been done since the last time.
So thats why the new release 0.1 Alpha is there.
What has been fixed..
- Game logos are shown in the main form and can also be exported.
- The dll`s don`t need to be copied annymore to the game folders. ( this because of Xbe Loading ).
- No more creating exe files, we run the xbe files instead of converting the xbe to exe.
- We use our own dll files, not working with the cxbx dll`s
- XBEExplorer(info), a new tool for looking into xbe files like a PE Header viewer, then for xbe files.
- XDKTracker game list has been updated..
This are some features i can think of.. so now you can take a look also with this new setup.
REMEMBER .. THIS IS STILL ALPHA -- NO PLAYABLE STUFF --
We are still hard working on it.. and prehaps we can make a full 0.1 version..
But for now its still ALPHA !!

Xbox LIVE being discontinued for Original Xbox consoles and games
>> From the MS press release:
[QUOTE]
On April 15 we will discontinue the Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox v1 games playable on Xbox 360 and Xbox Originals. I want to start by saying this isn't a decision we made lightly, but after careful consideration, it is clear this will provide the greatest benefit to the Xbox LIVE community.
Seven years ago we laid out our vision for the connected console when we launched Xbox LIVE. We believed then that the power of the Internet to connect people would revolutionize living room entertainment. It started with amazing multiplayer games, and we've since seen that bet pay off again and again with the launches of Xbox 360, Marketplace, Netflix and powerful social features like Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm. None of this would have been possible without the success of LIVE as a multiplayer gaming network.
There's no greater example of the power of the Xbox LIVE community than the "Halo" franchise. "Halo 2" has had an amazing run on LIVE, with a dedicated community more than five years after launch and well into the next generation of consoles. It has fundamentally changed the way we play video games. And while it's difficult to see that run come to an end, the "Halo" franchise continues to act as the benchmark for multiplayer gaming in this generation, with "Halo 3," "Halo 3: ODST" and soon "Halo: Reach" on Xbox 360.
Your Xbox LIVE community has grown to 23 million strong. And as we look down the road, we'll continue to evolve the service with features and experiences that harness the full power of Xbox 360. To reach our aspiration, we need to make changes to the service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games. We will contact the Xbox LIVE members directly impacted by this change and if this includes you, I encourage you to check your LIVE messages and associated e-mail account over the coming weeks for more details and opportunities. We view you as a partner in this process.
We'll share more details soon, but in the meantime I want to assure you that the best is yet to come for Xbox LIVE. I believe we'll look back on 2010 as a landmark year in gaming and home entertainment, and I couldn't be more excited about what we have in store with "Project Natal" and LIVE. The LIVE community is the driving force behind everything we do, and it's because of the community that ground-breaking experiences on Xbox continue to be possible.
