FreeStyleDash v2.0 Previews and FAQ
>> From teamfsd.com:
[QUOTE]
Here are some more preview shots for upcoming 2.0, we will be releasing an alpha shortly (no definite date so please do not ask). The team is working hard completing the TODO list.
To reply to a few emails and comments.
@ "Release date?"
There is no release date, this is a hobby, we code when we have time, we add things when we have time. We'll release it once we all feel that it is stable enough for most end users.
@ "I wanted a custom dash not some NXE Clone"
This is a custom dashboard, nothing about it is a clone, what you're seeing is the skin, which we chose to make it NXE like because that was the main goal, to make a nice clean dashboard with everything that is existing, with features that are geared towards a jtagged xbox.
@ "SVN Access?"
We had big ideas and big changes were needed to be made to the source to accomplish the task. Which meant lots and lots of bugs, that we did not want to support since most of the ideas were ideas we didn't know we could do. It will be open again once 2.0 has hit alpha or beta stages.
@ "Where can I donate?"
No where, at the moment, there is no set system for us to take donations where it would be fair to everyone who's contributing to the project. If you want to donate some money... there are lots of charities out there that you can donate too. We may be open to donations one day for us to purchase dev kits, or for hosting/space/bandwidth, but as of this very moment, my server does the job fine.
@ "Can I translate to .. ... ... ?"
Once we have the framework in for multi-language, you can certainly help translate to X language.

Badblockremapper Helper For Nandpro v0.1 *Update v0.2*
>> Nknave/Krizalid released Badblockremapper Helper For Nandpro:
[QUOTE]
Since we haven't had any updates with Badblockmover I decided to script a little batch file for my needs and I like to share it with you all.
I know, it's no super code, but it's something to help those who are struggling with bad blocks using Freeboot and suffer remapping manually.
- Supports FreeBoot v0.03x, XBR, etc.
- Supports all 16MB and 66MB dumps
- Strongly recomend NANDPro2b for virtual files.
Changes from v0.1 to v0.2
- Added nandchk v2.3 to avoid using 360 Flash Tool During the Process.
- Fixed a couple typos and made the script a little more stethic.
- You now have to enter the names of your source and target file.
* Source being the retail file that has bad blocks
* Target is the file that will be flashed to your console
* Name must be in this form: "nandname.bin" without quotes.

RAW2SMC v0.2
>> Foouser released RAW2SMC v0.2 - tiny utility to convert a config_raw.bin file dumped via Xellous or NandPro(info) into a smc_config.bin file required by ibuild:
[QUOTE]
A lot of people have been having problems with not having their original dumps for ibuild, in order to create a freeBOOT image (people who bought their Xbox preflashed with XBR and no original dump). ibuild needs 10 important parts of the full NAND dump that include unique per-console data, and one of them is the smc_config.bin file. People who don't have their full dump are using so-called 'donor' files in order to create a freeBOOT image. The problem with using an smc_config.bin from a different console is that important configurations which are not 100% compatible with your own Xbox are being used, and your original ones are basically lost (for example, lost MAC address, lost calibration data which might lead to wrong temperature readings and more).
This tool will create a smc_config.bin file, using config_raw.bin file dumped via Xellous or NandPro, in order to assist those people to get their own customized freeBOOT image.

Batch Con Flag Remover v0.1a *Update v0.2*
>> Scuba156 of Xbox1Crew released Batch Con Flag Remover:
[QUOTE]
Was getting tired of having to uncorrupt game saves from my banned console one by one, so i created Batch CON Flag Remover.
Just select the root folder of where you have saved all your save games, select whether to create a backup of each file (created as *.bak in the same folder) and click 'unflag'. Simple. The only thing it wont do is resign them if needed (unsure if the save files need to be signed, will look into it)
I have included all files required to run, if it doesnt run, try installing .Net 3.5
[v0.1a]
-Small bug fixed
-made window resizable
[v0.2]
+Now extracts game name from save file
+Now extracts save file name from save file
+Allows re ordering of columns
- Few bugs found that need fixing (no handled exception if you select an invalid folder, etc)

Judge tosses Microsoft's 'Psystar' antitrust defense
>> From computerworld.com:
[QUOTE]
A federal judge last Friday denied all but one of Microsoft's motions to toss out antitrust claims brought by a company that sells Xbox 360 accessories armed with video game cheats.
In her order, U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte also quashed Microsoft's attempt to tie Apple's legal victory over a Mac clone maker to its battle against Staffordshire, England-based Datel Design & Development Ltd.
Laporte granted just one of the six requests Microsoft made in last January when the company's lawyers asked her to dismiss multiple antitrust allegations by Datel. The maker of video game memory boards and controllers first filed antitrust charges against Microsoft in November 2009.
"We're gratified that the case will proceed and Datel looks forward to reestablishing the benefits of competition in the accessory market for all Xbox 360 users," said Daniel Asimow, an attorney with San Francisco-based Howard Rice, the law firm representing Datel.

Logic-Sunrise: FBAnext Arcade Emulator W.I.P.
>> Artik from Logic-Sunrise is announcing the upcoming release of FBAnext - a 1080p Arcade Emulator for homebrew 360:
[QUOTE]
With a secret coder (his name will be featured later), we decided to work on FBAnext, the NExtGen version of Final Burn(info) Alpha emulator. I had many goals when I tought about FBAnext : Emulate 100% speed with sound at 60FPS in 1080P graphic filtered these systems :
- Neo-Geo
- CP System I
- CP System II
- CP System III
- Sega
- Taito
Progress is excellent, we play Neo-Geo, CPS I and II, Sega and Taito games in 60FPS, 1080p graphics and filters enabled (HQ3X for the moment). The sound is emulated as 100%. CPS III will be tested tonight. I will move with the interface screenshots Xbox 360 and a video soon. There is still no GUI, it's the next step.
We also wish to help the world of emulators on the Xbox 360. the few emulators do not support 1080P, graphic filters, etc.. Therefore, we suggest downloading the sources when they will be available, to help other developers to code optimized emulators on Xbox 360.

Surfer Girl: Slim 360 to be unveiled at E3... 360 rebrand inbound *Update: Fake*
>> From Surfer Girl's Blog:
[QUOTE]
MS will reveal a slim 360 natal bundle at one of their two (yes, two) press conferences at this year's e3.
What's more the 360 will be getting a subtle rebrand, with a new logo and black as the new primary colour of the console. They feel that the new system needs to be black because a white Natal wouldn't sit well next to the typical gloss black tv.
The new system design is pretty neat.
And Natal? Let's just say you'll probably be both very surprised and very pleased by one of the games revealed... what is it?
Might Get Shot if I were to tell.
[/QUOTE]
!Update! - OK the rumor was fake - altho we're probably still gonna see a Slim 360 and Natal at E3.
