[QUOTE]
[p*******] so when will be flash to 225

[c4eva] 9504 is in testing! cod:bo playing fine on 9504 slim!
[S******] will be 9504 released together with 0225 or will 9504 released first ?
[c4eva] 9504 first, 0225 later with write solution!
[c4eva] testing will take longer due to the serveral realtime check routines to overcome.need to ensure realtime stealth is covering our tracks! :)
[D*******] is the fw of the 9504 similar to the 0225? or did you need to start from scratch on the 0225?
[c4eva] only a slight change from 9504 to 0225!
[p*******] so the problem is writing
[r********] i have ordered x360usb, would it be enough for a 0225 fw writing solution? or would i need something more?
[M****] c4eva 0225 writing soon ? thanks
[c4eva] more on 0225 writing solution will come later!

Xecuter CK3 Probe 3 Images and Info
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
As promised here is the professional version of the CK3 Probe 3. Speaks for itself. The easiest, safest, most flexible “PMT” no-cut/no-solder probe for Liteon drives.
No capacitors, no discharging, no power clips, enhanced extraction code built into X360USB and Jungle Flasher to give instant key extraction with no need for prolonged probing of the PCB or timing your power cycles or any other waiting around or messing about.
Also tested working with the Samsung Bad Flash Recovery Method (mostly not required with X360USB Pro as it will recover 99% of Samsung recovery / Bad Flash situations – but its a working backup all the same)
We have also designed the CK3 Power Cable so that it can be used to convert any CK3 probe (v1 / v2 / v2.1 / Mini probe) to a fully functional PMT capable probe. Naturally the cable is a lot cheap than buying a Probe 3 so YOU save money !
It’s this simple (Connect using X360USB PRO & Jungle Flasher of course):
1. Press the PhatKey button, then click Yes
2. Hold Probe 3 Button down (LED OFF), connect probe to MPX01, release Probe 3 Button (LED ON)
3. Extract Complete will be instantaneous when using X360USB PRO, now remove probe from MPx01
4. Press and release the Probe 3 button again then click OK
5. Done!

10 Hacks That Make Microsoft’s Kinect a Killer Controller
>> From wired.com:
[QUOTE]
The Microsoft Kinect is one of the hottest gaming peripherals we've seen in years, and that's because it can do a lot more than control games.
Within weeks after the Kinect hit stores, scientists, programmers and researchers hacked away at the device. It turns out that the Kinect, which consists of cameras and an infrared-light sensor to track and follow your body movement, has applications for medical purposes, language learning and even partying outdoors. Those applications are enabled by a relatively open programming interface which lets people quickly hack together their own custom software to interface with the Kinect hardware.
None of these hacks are officially supported by Microsoft, but they demonstrate the amazing potential of turning the human body into an interface controller. Who'da thunk a gaming gadget would be so powerful?
What follows are some examples of the coolest Kinect hacks we've seen...

More Details about the Team FSD Cover Project
>> From teamfsd.com:
[QUOTE]
Few notes for those speculating/curious:
1) Video is real time, and runs same speed on JTAG
2) Core coverflow code is based around wiiflow 1.1 (credit will be given where due when complete). It has been strongly adapted to the xbox360 platform, including xui, and direct x
3) Skin is based around Ellipsis from XBMC and Team Blackbolt- we have permission from EqUiNoX to base it around this ( EqUiNoX is an ex-member of Team Blackbolt and a current member of Team FSD)
4) Music was done by Blackwolf from #freestyledash
5) Not a skin for FSD2.0, its also not a future update for FSD2.0- it does contain the FSD backbone- but separate for now. Currently, we are trying to get community participation in building a cover library similar to that of wiitdb.com
6) No release date- and its not close to ready- our intent is to show you what's coming so we as a whole have drive to build the cover database.

Xbox LIVE Gamertags go zombie and rise from the dead
>> From majornelson.com:
[QUOTE]
Starting today, we have begun the process of making previously used and unavailable (dead) Xbox LIVE Gamertags available. This process will take some time to complete, and no we can’t tell you when the Gamertag you want might be available. If you are interested, you should check back regularly as we are reviving Gamertags daily.
Sign into Xbox LIVE and go to the My Xbox channel, then select Change Gamertag. From here you can either choose from the random name generator, or you can enter a specific Gamertag to see if it’s available.
Changing your Gamertag does not affect your Gamerscore, Achievements, or your friends list.
