Wasabi 360 Ultra firmware v1.1
>> From wasabi360.com: [QUOTE] We have released Wasabi 360 Ultra firmware v1.1 which includes the following changes: * Added advanced configuration options, manipulated through the new wasabi.xml file * Changed the default boot behaviour - now the previously used ISO file will be automatically mounted at boot, rather than the "mixed media" ISO list. Simply "eject" Wasabi in the usual manner in order to bring up the ISO list after boot. This behaviour can be configured (and thus reverted to the previous system) via wasabi.xml * Added an update blocker feature, which prevents Xbox dashboard updates from being initiated from a Wasabi mounted ISO file. This is enabled by default, although it can be configured via wasabi.xml. We recommend that you leave this enabled at all times; if you wish you update your Xbox dashboard then you should do so with Wasabi in pass-through mode, launching the update either from Xbox live or from a USB stick * The Wasabi ISO list has always had a feature where the most recently mounted ISO will be shown at the top of the list. From this release, this feature can be toggled on and off via wasabi.xml * You can now specify any arbitrary folder on your HDD from which Wasabi should list ISO files, once again configured via wasabi.xml * Various stability and performance tweaks
In addition to this, we've added an ISO thumbnail feature to the Wasabi 360 Ultra on-screen ISO menu. This feature is currently undergoing BETA testing and will be included in the v1.2 firmware release, due out in a few days. The v1.1 firmware release can be found in the downloads page. An updated user guide reflecting the above changes will be released shortly.
Finally, we can confirm that Wasabi 360 Ultra is compatible with the recently released 2.0.13604.0 system software update. The AP25 challenge table did not change with this dashboard update and thus, there is no change to the ap25.bin file. [/QUOTE]

New Xbox360 Slim Motherboard: 'Corona' - HANA Chip 'Gone'
>> It looks like Microsoft released a new Xbox360 Slim motherboard codename 'Corona'.
This new motherboard was found in a Forza 4 250 Go Pack with black matte finish, a Liteon 1071 ODD and 2011-08-17 MFR. The PSU goes from 10.83A (for the orginal 'Trinity' Slim motherboard) to 9.86A.
The biggest change it that it looks like the HANA chip is "gone". It is suggested the HANA and SouthBridge have been put together into 1 chip on this new motherboard. This could have (serious) implications for the Reset Glitch Hack (RGH) as it was using the HANA chip for the timing management (but there might be alternatives). But at this time it's too early to tell. However it is (very) unlikely this is a answer from MS to the RGH ... a motherboard revision takes months of preparation and this motherboard was manufactured before the RGH was even released.

New Maximus Lizard Toolbox v1.43 with XKEY TOOLS tab
>> From 360lizard.com: [QUOTE] We have got lots of questions of people installing their xkey devices and we have chosen to add a temporary tab on Lizard Toolbox (New 1.43 version) with those tasks needed for setup the xkey device in no time. The whole procedure of setup is not hard but will confuse some beginners thats the reason we have added that Tab on the software.
Currently we have added 2 options mainly (so far): a) Generate the xkey.cfg file b) Generate a dummy.bin file from a fulldump (since xkey require dummy for slim consoles)
More functions will be added per common requests. The Toolbox update (1.43) can be obtained on our Download page or using the embeded Check for Updates feature (Settings->Check Lizard Updates). [/QUOTE]

JTAG Content Manager v1.6
>> Xamphear released JTAG Content Manager 1.6: [QUOTE] What This App Does: * Browse 360 files on your PC by their real info, like game name and package title. * Upload files (XBLA, DLC, GOD, Avatar, Title Update) to your console over FTP with a single click. Files are automatically uploaded to the right folders. * Drag and drop files to other applications, if you'd prefer to use your own FTP client. * Organize a messy folder of downloaded content into 1 of 4 different directory styles. Restore the original filenames for XBLA and DLC files. * View the MediaID of Title Updates and GODs so you can match them, and search JQE and XBUC for matching TUs. * View the MediaID of ISO files. (Requires abgx360)
Advanced/Beta Features: * Scan the Content folder on your 360's HDD to a database so that while browsing content on your PC you can see if it's already on your 360 or not, even if your 360 is off. * Browse the contents of your 360 directly, using Freestyle Dashboard's SMB share technology. Please see the About box for credits and thanks. This app owes a lot to other more talented 360 hackers.
What's new/fixed: Support for ftpdll Dash Launch plugin. Patching/Unlocking of GOD files is now enabled. Correct filesize shown for Xbox Originals and NXE Game Installs. Xbox Originals made with ISO2GOD can now be uploaded. Limited support for extracted ISO games: default.xex files can be loaded and their TitleID and MediaID are displayed, allowing you to search for Title Updates. Game demos are supported for upload. GOD uploads now display the correct number of chunks when uploading multiple GODs in the same queue. GODs, Xbox Originals, and NXE Game Installs can now be organized. Pressing ESCAPE will stop an in-progress folder scan, if you accidentally trigger one on a very large directory. Other bug fixes. [/QUOTE]
