Unofficial Ssv2 ABGX Update
>> From Mcegan on forums.xbox-scene.com:
[QUOTE]
I made this a few weeks ago for a very computer illiterate friend who didn't understand how to manually patch ssv2 files. It's basically what everyone wants: ABGX will now prioritize SSv2 over v1 and will patch it for you if one exists, exactly the same as the normal patch routine. I've also included the checks for waves 5/6, just like the Aeth mod has.
I'm pretty sure this isn't bug free...I've found some problems with it when trying to patch a SSv2 that has the same CRC as the v1 on the iso. These situations are however very rare; I've only ever seen it on 2 games, so I haven't really bothered fixing it. If there is enough interest/feedback however I might try to iron out the kinks for everyone. Anyway I hope this will be useful to some people.

EDIT -
This application appears to have a bug and is conterminously flooding abgx.net, I've removed the link until the issue is resolved.

Dash Launch v1.0
>> Team XeDev released a new version of Dash Launch, which will allow you to boot your jtagged Xbox360 directly into homebrew software:
[QUOTE]
At time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with freeBOOT 0.03x releases built with the included patch set which expects launch.xex to be installed to system flash.
Overview - what it does
- It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in the launch.ini as long as it's a valid boot path
- Depending on the button you hold when the xbox is trying to load the NXE, it will divert to the xex/con tied to that button or return to default as defined in launch.ini
- allows one to patch kernel/xam at bootup with a freeBOOT patch style bin file from usb or hdd (in that order) must be in root of the device and be named "kxam.patch" and be no larger than 0x4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary format is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but use real virtual address rather than offset (address - 0x80000000)
- with the included patch set, launch.xex acts as a helper to detect when xbox1 emulator loads, allowing memory unlock patch and xbox1 emulator to function together
Known Bugs
- will very rarely wind up at NXE, usually related to ODD activity
What's new/fixed:
- added other devices for launch targets
- added flash for location to load launch.ini
- added flash installer supports flashing launch.xex and launch.ini
- with help of freeboot patches, fixes issues with xbox1 emulator on memory unlocked patchset
- overhaul ini parser with simpleIni, support for most buttons and a default
- added dll/plugin loading support
- added hooking/return to launch app instead of NXE (hold RB to bypass)
- added kernel/xam boot time/one time patch engine
- added export to allow the loading of other system modules

Xbox 360 Commander Rev. 21
Mousepatcher 360
>> Insomnica released Mousepatcher 360 - a Drag 'n Drop SS/DMI Patcher:
[QUOTE]
MousePatcher 360 is an application for manually patching Security Sectors into an Xbox 360 ISO file.
Often, the best tool on the market, ABGX360 sometimes can be temperamental in repairing an ISO with SS version 2 sectors, and this program overcomes that.
It also helps those who are looking to inject a SS/DMI combination with a specific CRC. Again, ABGX does not discriminate based on the CRCs of the file.

Aussie pay TV service announced for Xbox 360
>> From theage.com.au:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft and Foxtel today announced a new partnership that will soon offer Australians the chance to watch pay television via their Xbox 360 console rather than a set-top box.
The service is one of the first of its type in the world and will launch "towards the end of the calendar year". It will be accessible to all homes in Australia that have a broadband internet connection.
An Xbox Gold subscription will be required in addition to a Foxtel by Xbox LIVE subscription.

Build Xellous v0.1
>> Krizalid released Build Xellous v0.1, a PC app that builds XeLLous for first time JTAG:
[QUOTE]
Build XeLLous v0.1 (uses ibuild, nandpro2b and donor files)
- Simply start the app and type the motherboard type you want it for and it will build it for you.
Final size is in 50 blocks (hex), or 80 16kb blocks. NAND area is 0 > 4F
- NOTE and WARNING: This will make a fully working XeLLous to flash for the first time to your 360. Keep in mind that it's based on FreeBoot's ibuild and it will look to launch the rebooter if you power on with the "power button", please power on with the "eject button" and drive attached.
What's the main idea?
- Rapidly build Xellous.bin for your console so you may acquire "fuses.txt" and "flashdmp.bin" via FTP and create your FreeBoot or XBR Image and flash, instead of flashing all from PC (may take forever using LPT)
This version does have both Jasper's South Bridge versions of the SMC so that you may build for Jasper16 or JasperBB and not having a black screen boot up on you ;)

Rumour: Swedish Retailers Spill Project Natal Price? *Update: MS Reaction*
>> From kotaku.com:
[QUOTE]
At least three Swedish retailers are listing a price for upcoming Xbox 360 motion controller Project Natal, and it's not good.
While UK sources were telling MCV that the motion controller would run $80, perhaps less, the three Swedish retail sites are all listing the device for 1,499 SEK, which works out to just under a whopping $200.
[/QUOTE]
!Update! Microsoft replies via planetxbox360.com:
[QUOTE]
Our retail partners are not yet aware of details on pricing for "Project Natal" and pre-order placeholders are purely speculation. We will share price details with partners and the public as we get closer to launch, but are working hard to bring 'Project Natal' to consumers this holiday, and it will work with every Xbox 360.
