First homebrew application ran on the Xbox360

It's right there on the front of the homepage. So hopefully this will lead to as much home brew development on the Xbox360 as there was on the Xbox

Well, XNA is available for the XBOX 360, but even Microsoft said that currently the functionality wouldn't be great for a program like XBMC. I believe they also said that they did plan on implementing functionality for more application-oriented programming for the 360 though.

I knew it was just a matter of time.

Creative exploit though, using programmable shaders.

Heh dude this has NOTHING to do w/XNA

This is a comletely different scene. People aren't going to use XNA to write homebrew applications, they are going to use the XDK.

However this isn't a hack the average end-user can try-out already, as for now it'll require the King Kong game, a modified DVD firmware or disc-swap (which are both still fairly easy to do), but you will also have to connect the serial port on your Xbox360, compile the code from sources yourself and you'll need kernel 4532 or 4548 (most of you are probably already updated to the patched 4552 kernel - and right now there's no way to downgrade as Microsoft probably blew up an eFuse to prevent kernel downgrades). If you have a kernel below 4532/4548 you can upgrade 'safely' to 4532 using the burnable HD-DVD software update called HD_DVD_10-2006.zip (the readme includes an URL for it on the MS servers, but the file is already offline ... however I'm sure it'll still out there somewhere, the md5 is cd4db8e2c94266ab73513c361dd5b8f6).

Sounds like we'll still have to wait a bit till we get to the level of XBMC.

Mos Def. But I'm sure this will get into the right hands of the people who need to be able o do it and will help them progress on making some kind of new way to run stuff.

Hello and welcome to last year, you've been able to back up 360 games for awhile.

There's already a DVD firmware hack that is used almost exclusively for pirating.

This at least allows consumers to mod their 360s with useful programs like XBMC.

Crossing fingers... I have both xboxes and I would love XBMC on my 360.

Yah then I could put my Xbox in the attic heh.

Watching TV shows on my Xbox is the ONLY reason I still have it hooked up.

Except that this exploit requires a modded DVD drive ...

That said, FS: Modded 360 Premium because I don't have time to play it.

I'm just getting around to installing XBMC on my old Xbox, nevermind the 360 which handles audio and video much better than the old Xbox ever did. Thank goodness for Transcode360.

Ooh, exciting! If Vista can ever get CableCard all set for HD recording, XBMC360 will be *really* exciting

Oh, you're one of those people who believes there can't be any value to modifications. Feel free to blur your vision further if that's the case - I suggest a sixty-millimeter Howitzer.

I wouldn't get all excited about a 360 xbmc anytime soon, as this hack only works on lower firmware versions. You are required to update your 360 to play newer games, so those who have upgraded are currently out of luck. It is also no easy feat, as you have to connect to the 360's serial port and compile from the sources. From the article..

However this isn't a hack the average end-user can try-out already, as for now it'll require the King Kong game, a modified DVD firmware or disc-swap (which are both still fairly easy to do), but you will also have to connect the serial port on your Xbox360, compile the code from sources yourself and you'll need kernel 4532 or 4548 (most of you are probably already updated to the patched 4552 kernel - and right now there's no way to downgrade as Microsoft probably blew up an eFuse to prevent kernel downgrades).

When did we start talking about modifications? I asked about pirating, you said you could "back up" games for a while now. I don't care if people mod their XBOX, I care when people steal software and cause headaches for us old-fashioned people who believe in morals and that a person should get paid for the work they do, no matter how easy it is to steal.
