XM360 v0.8c *Update: v0.9*
>> Team XeDev released a bugfix version of XM360.
What's new/fixed (since v0.8):
* fixed bug where Japanese DLC would prevent DLC scene from working (causing a 360 hang) (v0.8b)
* fixed bug where launching XBLA from the first screen would launch wrong title (v0.8c)
* fixed scraper for XBLA to include UTF-8 encoded text. This makes them look nicer in xm360, and gets rid of the trailing "a" that was on some titles. (v0.8c)
Update: v0.9 has been released:
* introduced a "config" file where directory preferences can be set. By default, xm360 looks for hdd:\config\xm360\xm360.cfg. If it can't find that, it uses the one included with xm360. See the contents of that file for more information.
* Some visual changes that include the use of icons to represent missing and ignored titles. This frees up some screen UI as well.
* Some button changes so that they are consistent between the DLC and the XBLA Collection mgmt screen.
* Delete and Toggle Ignore are both on the X button now. It will make sense as you start to use it.
* DLC collection management is quite a bit more useful now. It no longer seperates "existing" content and content that was found but not "matched". Furthermore, with the addition of the ability to "ignore" DLC content, you can now begin to clean up the discrepancies. If you use LB to show titles for which you have some DLC, and then move to the rightmost list, you can see content that you have that didn't match. If you then tell it to "ignore" the version that you don't have (because you really do), the list gets cleaner and cleaner.
* Added a message when the reports are finished being written

Freestyle Xbox 360 Dash v1.08
>> Axc97c released a new version of the Freestyle XBOX 360 Dashboard for homebrew Xbox 360 consoles:
[QUOTE]
I decided that instead of focusing of file copying and browsing operations, I would make the game launching and browsing as good as i could.
New stuff since last public release (v1.03):
* FTP speeds now 10Mb+ to internal HDD.
* FTP working in many more clients (see FTP info section).
* Copy DVD to USB drive or HDD.
* View recently played games.
* Preview video for each game.
* Sounds within user interface.
* View free disk space on all drives.
* Date and Time in dashboard.
* Background Artwork.
* Add images manually using indexer.
* Full file browser support, including copy, move, delete etc.
Future of Freestyle Dash
I no longer have to time to continue development of this dashboard. I may have time for the odd fix, but for it to continue to develop someone needs to set up a svn and project page and get the community developing it further. I have included the full source code to everything to build the dash and indexer, but if ive missed anything please let me know.

XM360 v0.7 *Update v0.8*
>> Team XeDev released a new version of XM360.
What's new/fixed (since v0.6b):
* Further massive rewrites :-)
* Automatically scan on launch, showing progress
* That ugly fixed-width font is gone, except where needed (the XBLA Collection Manager list)
* Support for DLC "Collection Management" - it's integrated into the "Show DLC" scene. Be sure to use LB and RB to change views. Note there are *lot's* of missed matches, mostly because what is *inside* the DLC files doesn't match what is on the marketplace web site. Because of this, there is also the ablity to show content which you have, but wasn't scraped from the web site.
* There is a button to write the DLC report. It takes a while, and only includes information on DLC for which you have at least one title.
* Like scraping for XBLA, there is an included scrapeMS_DLC.pl perl script. It takes a very long time to complete. You shouldn't need it often. XM360 will search for a file called DLC_titles.csv before using the one included in the package.
* There's a button to generate the XBLA_report.txt instead of doing it all the time.
* Entirely new support for Title Updates. Including the ability to Delete them.
* Support for deleteing XBLA titles.
* Support for deleteing DLC titles.
*Update* v0.8 has been released.
What's new/fixed:
* Added support for a "backup" Cache folder. (hdd:\Cache2) Ability to see where your Title Updates are, and to restore from Cache2.
* Sorted initial screen by title.
* Added some special handling for Super Contra.

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 !!
