e-Tool v0.2
>> Electon^- released e-Tool v0.2, a new tool for extracting/injecting the key from Liteon FAT drives flashed with a new FW by the Beta Dash:
[QUOTE]
Each of you probably know that with the new dashboard beta, readers are re-flashed with a firmware Stock, and in this way, you can not read your backups.
For this reason, many of you, you will come across the following problem:
13142 after installing the update, if you re-flash fw on another player, you can not upgrade to version 13145, because the console that controls the fw on the same player is flashed from the previous update.
Trying to extract the FW from your player, you probably will have noticed that Jungle Flasher, does not recognize the new FW.
So now, how do you resolve this situation?
I created two programs that deal specifically, EXTRACT the key from the new Fw, Fw or Spoof a New Original Firmware if you already have the key formats. Bin (even that of jungle flasher is fine).
There are 2 Archive, one for Unix user, and one for Windows User.

Source: Xbox 360 Spring 2011 update launches May 19
>> From joystiq.com:
[QUOTE]
Even before that new app smell has worn off from Hulu Plus, Microsoft will launch its annual spring update for the Xbox 360 Dashboard. Images sent to Joystiq by a Microsoft tech support employee reveal that the next Dashboard update will begin rolling out on May 19.
According to the documents, the update will be distributed in six separate waves between May 19 and May 30 "to ensure a high quality deployment." Additionally, while not technically part of the automatic update, Avatar Kinect is listed for a May 27 arrival as a separate download.
Aside from offering support for the new Microsoft disc format -- which will "be used in future game titles releasing later in 2011" -- the spring system update will enable PayPal support on the console, extending the payment option "to new international markets." PayPal will be "the only user facing feature" of the update.

x360Key Interview with ModControl.com
>> The guys over at ModControl.com made an interview with the x360Key team behind the the upcoming ODD Emulator Device:
[QUOTE]
Q: Who is x360Key?
A: TA, one of the founders and maindeveloper of the WODE (wii optical drive emulator) Modchip quit his work on the WODE Project last year to be a part of the legendary Wiikey team and create a new project called x360key, an Xbox 360 drive emulator which allows you to load legal backups from an usb device.
Q: x360Key Drive Emulation?
A: x360key is 2nd generation Optical Drive emulation tech with a brand new Emulation Engine (x360 is very different to Wii, from the hardware interface to the drive commands).
We took all the experience from designing Wode and started again from the ground up to bring you the 2nd generation of ODD emulation technology on the xbox 360 console.
Q: Why you add the DVDKey Extraction Method from Maximus?
A: Some commands the console sends, and reponses from the drive are encrypted, we need the key to be able to communicate with the console. Automatic DVD Key extraction will be added later thx to the deal with Maximus to use their key extraction methods.
In x360key software v1.00 you have to add the dvdkey manually into a txt file on the sd card.
Q: Why will Xbox 360 slim drive support will be added later?
A: There are additional checks on the drive firmware. We need more time to do that properly, of course it works, but we want to give you a perfect solution, so we have to do some more work to make sure everything is perfect.
Q: Why not all games running?
A: The emulation code for 1.00 is complete now and we are testing like crazy for a release at the end of June. AP25 is working and we expect xgd3 will be working in V1.00 to - but that still needs testing. All tested games are working perfectly (including games with AP25), but not all released games have been tested by us, this is the reason why we state "most xbox 360 and xbox 1 games supported", when we have tested all of them (and this may take a while) then we will let you know that x360key is 100% compatible.
NOTE: Only supported xbox 1 games a working due to the xbox 360 emulation routine for xbox 1 games, so where is no possiblity to let all Xbox 1 games work.

A message from Team FFlow about Codec Libs
>> From elitemodscene.com:
[QUOTE]
We thought it would be appropriate to clear up any confusion about the current status of homebrew media playback on the xbox 360. The previous news with concept players showcased have nothing to do with the developer of emerald or emerald itself. We tried to work together but parted ways when the team decided to work with Team Fsd to integrate the media player into Freestyle dash.
We have achieved full speed 720p mkv/h264 playback on single threaded decode using single threaded libs, but, we took that as far as we could, so We started a completely new project and ported the latest ffmpeg multithreaded snapshot from scratch. This is to ensure we're working from the latest release, we understand all the code because we made
the changes ourselves, and have all files included to provide the best functionality and support for all muxers/demuxers/encoders/decoders etc. As far as we know, the emerald package does not compile or work for jtags, and is missing a large percentage of files.
There is still a lot to do and we don't want to release an unfinished product, but we wanted to remind people that there are people still working hard on this, as a team, to get a proper working player out that does full 1080p soon.
