This is the first release of my port of SuperMarioWar for the Xbox360. Currently there seems to only be a few audio issues, but that should be taken care of soon.
SuperMarioWar Port for Xbox360 SuperMarioWar Port for Xbox360

SuperMarioWar is a game for up to four players with many different modes of play. The basic goal of the game is to be the last player standing, and to accomplish this goal you must jump on your opponents' heads to kill them. There are many Mario-themed items you can use to help you kill your opponents, as well. In addition, there are several variations on this basic gameplay mechanic which you can try, such as Chicken, Capture The Flag, and so on. Plus, for those who enjoy customization, there are several aspects of the game which you can tweak to your liking through the Options menus, and if you like, you can make your own maps, skins, and other custom content to use (or download others' to use), too!

Freestyle Dash 2.0 will have Avatars *Update*
>> From teamfsd.com (updated with more info):
[QUOTE]
Here is a short clip showing Avatars in freestyle dash. There are lots of options available to skinners when creating their own themes. You can rotate the avatar with a XuiSlider, you can auto rotate the avatar with an XuiProgress bar giving preview or user control of the avatar. You will also be able to create an avatar scene to show player 1 through 4 or create a randomly generated avatar.

Here is a video showing multiple instances of the player 1 avatar. The left avatar is on an autorotate with an XuiProgressBar element using a keyframe animation to loop the changing of the value.
The right avatar is on a manual rotate with an XuiSlider... I am controlling the right bar to choose where to rotate the avatar....
Skinners start brainstorming how you can use this in your skin!

XM360 v1.5 *Update v1.5b*
>> Node21 (Team XeDev) released a new version of XM360, a tool running on homebrew 360s that will allow to organize, scan and unlock XBLA and DLC content.
!Update! v1.5b released.

What's new/fixed (v1.5):
* Added full support for game saves.
* Added ability to have the "remote" 360 do a force-rescan when connecting to it.
* Fixed issue where ftp stopped connecting after about 20 or so connections
* Added ability to delete XBLA content on the first page (including REMOTE content)
* Added display of file size to first page
* Added support for UsbMU0: and UsbMU1: if you are using dash 9199 (including via ftp)
* Don't mount DVDROM or FLASH when starting...greatly improves startup time
* Added support for new "REPORT_PATH" in the config which will be used for all reports (XBLA, DLC, GAME SAVES)
* Added filter to the DLC page to show only DLC which wasn't "matched" (or "scraped")
* Added some more specific status messages when connecting to a remote 360
* The local content.bin (file written when you do a rescan all) is automatically updated if you fetch content via ftp or delete local content
** Just a quick note. Fetching and pushing content still keeps the full path intact. That means if you are trying to fetch content from a remote memory unit, for example, and you don't have a memory unit locally...it won't work. It will fail silently.
** Also, pushing content as well as deleting remote content *doesn't* update the remote content.bin. You should either remember to do a rescan all on that machine the next time you use it, or go to the Remote Connection button, check the Force Rescan checkbox, and reconnect to the remote machine.

What's new/fixed (v1.5b):
* Include DLC located on UsbMUx:
* Start all searches at xxx:\\Content\\ instead of xxx:\\Content\\0000000000000000 (game saves) This means a full scan will take longer, but it's necessary.
