SMC Utility v1.1
>> Blackaddr released a new version of SMC Utility:
[QUOTE]
This is a general purpose SMC utility designed to replace the old SMC I/O Config Utility. The program itself is a patching engine, where the patches are written as scripts in the INI file. This will allow any future patches to be released as scripts instead of re-releasing the program itself.

This allows you to build a hacked SMC from your original, unhacked version. Included is an All-In-One patch that provides a uniform exploit code base between several SMC versions, and applies a patch that improves the support for Play'N'Charge cables. It eliminates the 'reboot' problem while shutting down with a controller charging. Optional patches are included that allow you force the console to power down instead of charging if you do not wish to leave the console charging unattended. You can also patch it to restore the original unconditional booting.

An analysis mode allows quick diagnostics of the SMC using the new code base to check the JTAG I/O configuration, bug status, status of other patches, etc.

What's new/fixed:
INI v1.1 Arrived -> Updates to AIO patch, GUIDE button and HDD swaps now boot correctly!
Posted Version 1.1. All boot modes now work properly with PlayNCharge. No known issues. Thanks to Cory1492.

FreeStyle Dash (FSD) WIP Update - Release When Stable Enough
>> From teamfsd.com:
[QUOTE]
Progress is coming along. Those of you who have been following the SVN logs know that a lot has been restructured, recoded, and added.

We have added Xlink Kai, Content Database, Restructured the way the game list works by adding dynamic list loading and scanning, image caching, a web-server to easily update and modify content text and / or images.

We have added an internal title update manager to make sure you always have the latest updates for your games, and is managed and backed up all automatically.

There are a lot of new items and changes that unfortunately create new bugs as well.

We understand that the users / donators would love to test our work for us- but as it has been previously stated- there is nothing to test when you can't boot the app, when if for some reason you did get it to boot (maybe with no games being scanned) it would crash every 3 or 4 seconds.

Maybe you want to add a game to your list via FTP- enjoy that crash.

At some point, I think it plain out didn't run on a JTAG system.

Considering that, we are working to correct the bugs we know about. Some are crucial to release, some are just annoying. When we get the crucial bugs fixed and its running stable, we will be considering a release to help knock out the annoying bugs.

Just please think of the time of year it is and what could be going through our personal lives. We have been working on this dash for almost 6 months, out of free time- a lot can change in half a year-

Some of us have changed jobs, some two to three times, some have lost our houses, girlfriends lacking attention, holidays are coming up, US Thanksgiving is next weekend, and 3 weeks later is Christmas. Then New Years. That's a lot of family required time.

Also, Black Ops just came out- it's nice to enjoy a game once in a while instead of helping you guys play your games.

Anyway- we are working on releasing, and will continue to work hard to bring you a quality app-

We will update you again in a little while.

iXtreme LT+ Update from C4Eva: new 0800 and SSv3, Kreon, No Stock FW before Upgrade, TU and AP2.5
>> More news about the upcoming iXtreme LT+ and AP2.5 from C4Eva via IRC-transcripts on #FW@EFnet:

[c4eva] testing backups on live!
[******] +c4eva: you had any hiccups along the way?
[c4eva] ******: not really :)
[*********] Morning c4eva, there's a title update for Black Ops, is this the kind of thing you'll log for new checks or do we assume that because a BO backup still works after the TU, that ap2.5 isn't active?
[c4eva] already checked bo update, looks good, clean xval
[*********] can i ask again about nfs?
[*********] is its playable with lt+?
[c4eva] *********:yes
[*********] C4eva the new lt+ will report like original fw against live checks?
[c4eva] *********: yes
[******] c4eva im sure you may have been asked before, but should we worry about back security? as in ap2.5 being implemented into older games and most anticipated, black ops?
[c4eva] ******: you will be protected with lt+
[******] @c4eva: c4eva, before upgrading to the new dash and put the new LT +, we must first put the stock fw, update the dash and then put the new lt?
[c4eva] ******: not required
[*****] So what I'm wondering is this: If the box is already flagged on new dash, IE not playing AP2.5 games, will the new upgrade to LT+ then enable playing these games again?
[c4eva] *****:yes
[*******] what's the drive firmware coded in anyway?
[*******] how do you code for it
[*******] asm?
[c4eva] yes
[*******] C4eva, will a new 0800 and SSv3 be required?
[c4eva] *******:yes, eventually
[******] c4eva: did sb from MS contacet you offering a job?:)
[c4eva] ******:no :)
[c4eva] fundamental changes were made to lt code to accomodate ap25 data, hence extra testing!
[*******] C4EVA, can the shitty kreon be used? using abgx360 gui to inject ssv3 in future.
[c4eva] *******:use kreon to dump game data only
[*********] @c4eva - will the new lt+ compatible with all slim drives available ATM?
[c4eva] *********:later

Xecuter CK3 Pro - Fake Copies Warning
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
It has come to our attention that a small factory in China is making cheap, low quality copies of the hugely popular CK3 Pro 360 DVD Rom connectivity kit. They do say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, however these came through our retail channels due to a high number of faulty returns and there were attempts at having them replaced on the official Xecuter Warranty. Not only are they poor quality, but they are wholesaling them for the same cost at what we are wholesaling the genuine products to our wholesale network, so it’s pointless buying them in the first place.

If you are looking to buy genuine Xecuter products through wholesale channels then simply contact Supreme Factory or China Distribution and they will take care of you. If you are looking for genuine Xecuter retailers then they are listed on our Official Resellers Page.

Remember that when you buy fake copies, even though you are paying the same price as the genuine product you will get no support, and no warranty. If you have bought a fake CK3 Pro or have any questions please use this thread on our forums.

Here are some comparison photographs to see if you have a fake or genuine CK3 Pro.

Hacked iRobot Uses Xbox Kinect to See The World, Obey Your Commands
>> From singularityhub.com:
[QUOTE]
Millions are drinking the Kinect Kool-aid, jumping around in front of their XBox and playing games by flailing their bodies. Now a student at MIT’s Personal Robotics Group is going to put all that wild gyrating to a good use: controlling robots. Philipp Robbel has hacked together the Kinect 3D sensor with an iRobot Create platform and assembled a battery powered bot that can see its environment and obey your gestured commands. Tentatively named KinectBot, Robbel’s creation can generate some beautifully detailed 3D maps of its surroundings and wirelessly send them to a host computer. KinectBot can also detect nearby humans and track their movements to understand where they want it to go, as you can see in the video below. I had a chance to talk with Robbel and learn more about how this “weekend hacking project” might evolve into some really cool applications for rescuing victims after a disaster.

SMC Utility v1.0a *Update v1.0b*
>> Blackaddr released SMC Utility v1.0 on xboxhacker.org:
[QUOTE]
This is a general purpose SMC utility designed to replace the old SMC I/O Config Utility. The program itself is a patching engine, where the patches are written as scripts in the INI file. This will allow any future patches to be released as scripts instead of re-releasing the program itself.

This allows you to build a hacked SMC from your original, unhacked version. Included is an All-In-One patch that provides a uniform exploit code base between several SMC versions, and applies a patch that improves the support for Play'N'Charge cables. It eliminates the 'reboot' problem while shutting down with a controller charging. Optional patches are included that allow you force the console to power down instead of charging if you do not wish to leave the console charging unattended. You can also patch it to restore the original unconditional booting.

An analysis mode allows quick diagnostics of the SMC using the new code base to check the JTAG I/O configuration, bug status, status of other patches, etc.

The readme contains directions for a simple two-step process to build a working SMC from your original.
You can ignore all the advanced modes if using command-line utilities makes you crap your pants.

AIO Known Issues:
- while charging a battery in standby mode, the console will not boot properly using the controller GUIDE button. Pwr/Eject work fine.
- If you insert/remove the hard drive while the console is up and running, it will hang. Press the pwr twice to reboot.

The main advantage of using this program is to regain some Play'N'Charge functionality. This program is for JTAG EXPLOITABLE consoles only.

*EDIT [v1.0a]* Link up dated, the original link used ARGON_DATA in AIO patch, now uses AUD_CLAMP as readme states. *EDIT*
*EDIT [v1.0b]* Link updated to smc_utilty_v1.0b. Someone found a missing NOP in hack_v23a.asm *EDIT*

I'll post a Linux binary eventually, but the windows version works fine under WINE.

Kinect for Xbox 360 Hits Million Mark in Just 10 Days
>> From the MS press release:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft Corp. today announced it has sold 1 million Kinect for Xbox 360 units worldwide in 10 days and is on pace to hit 5 million by the end of the year. The announcement comes a week before the biggest selling day of the year, Black Friday, and in the wake of increasing momentum for Xbox 360, which led U.S. video game console sales for the past four months.

“We are appreciative of the response we have seen from consumers that has culminated in sales of more than 1 million units in the first 10 days on the market for Kinect for Xbox 360,” said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “This is a great start to the holiday season, and we will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than 5 million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year.”

New Updates from C4Eva: LT+ WIP, Slim Checks, AP2.5 Info, OSIG Spoof Checks
>> Some new #FW@EFnet IRC-transcripts from the last 2 days with some updates on the iXtreme LT+ progress and AP2.5 findings:

[2010-11-13 Updates]
[*****] is it possible to spoof our current drives to appear as samsung drives and bypass ap25
[c4eva] *****:osig is checked as part of ap25
[********] I spoofed 4 o 5 Slims to diferent drives, and only 2 times it don't works with Kinect (Play DVD) However, other slims read all (unless Fable 3 xD)
[c4eva] ********:new dash at some point checks slim drive fw, once it has spoof will cease to work
[*****] c4eva will LT+ firmware be available to hitachi v79 drives?
[c4eva] *****:maybe
[******] C4eva have u tested AC brotherhood?
[c4eva] yes, i have ac:b, all is good!
[c4eva] lt+ testing begins this weekend, not long now!
[******] unless u have a hitatchi drive or a sammy, but sammys seem to be hit and miss, works for some and not for others
[c4eva] ******:ap25 is checking osig
[******] +c4eva - what is osig?
[c4eva] original drive signature for motherboard
[c4eva] osig is interesting, they took out kernel check due to rrod repairs, now ap25 had to have it,otherwise everyone would be a sammy, now rrod repairs may not boot if osig wasnt updated!
[c4eva] its gone past just live, they want no backups booting period!
[*******] I read somewhere that this ap 2.5 can be different for each game ... so every new game might not work the same way as the previous one and may need a new fw update?
[c4eva] fw will be fine!
[******] it'll work for any AP2.5 challenge he said
[*****] c4eva fable3 and asasin have same ap25 checks ?
[c4eva] ap25 checks are game specific
[*********] c4eva do u know why samsung does not have ap2.5 ]
[c4eva] because it doesnt have the code for it :)
[******] c4eva, AP2.5 - thats a name you came up with or does it show in the dash binary somehow ?
[******] that's what the specification is actually called, ******
[*********] c4eva, i suppose we will need new software/hardware aswell, to dump the new sectors and inject them in iso ?
[******] ******, specification that came from MS to game developers ?
[*****] New 0800 and xbc would be liky
[*****] Likely
[c4eva] yes
[****] c4eva, so if ap2.5 is game specific. Could ms implement new checks with an update and render the new drive FW useless again ?
[c4eva] ****:fw will be fine
[*******] c4eva original slim now can be updated to new firmware and after that it can be LT+ flashed with no problem?
[*********] how do you dump and test ap25 games for now? is it a secre? :)
[c4eva] *******:yes
[c4eva] *********:yes
[*********] [+c4eva] thanks for all your hard work man, we love you. Maybe consider putting out a non-LIVE version of the FW for those that dont care about LIVE. It would have to be easier on ou.
[*****] C4s always been committed to stealth
[*****] And im
[*****] Sure he is busy enough
[c4eva] ap25, live or no live, doesnt matter
[*********] my fable 3 doesnt show AP25 in ABGX???
[******] *********: Fable III doesn't have that flag
[c4eva] with new dash xex flag is irrelevant!
[******] yeah, so that becomes an unreliable method to determine

[2010-11-14 Updates]
[c4eva] testing code, so far so good!
[******] is black ops as safe as any other game before the dash update?
[c4eva] ******:yes
[***] for slim what kind of real time checks are we talking about?
[c4eva] ***:realtime fw check,realtime ram check!
[c4eva] they are checking for our code/data in drive!
[*********] c4 can we expect lt+ this side of christmas?
[c4eva] *********:yes

Party Buffalo Drive Explorer v1.0.0.3 Beta
>> CLK Rebellion released a beta of the open-source Party Buffalo Drive Explorer that will allow you to access Xbox360 formatted drives/usb-sticks/bins:
[QUOTE]
This app is pretty self explanatory -- created by me from ground-up, and has been in development for a while now. To use, connect your drive (if using a drive), press File>Open>Open Drive Selector>Select your drive. If you're not using a drive, load your file by going to File>Open>Open Dump.

Features so far...
* Backing up of drive
* Extracting files
* Reading files
* Reading backups/files that are a single FATX partition (such as the xlaunch.fdf file found in devkats)
* USB support added 1/13/2010

Update:
* undeletion mode
* a few bug fixes
* manual partition mode
