Because the exploit targets the boot ROM burned into silicon, Microslop can’t patch it. Every Xbox One ever manufactured is vulnerable, and always will be. The hack gives complete access to everything — the Hypervisor, the operating system, the ability to run unsigned code at every privilege level. Games and firmware can be decrypted, which could open the door to emulation projects and eventual mod chips.
ironically, one of the xbox one games people are most interested in porting to pc is the legacy console edition of minecraft, a game famously already on pc!
tho with the recent source code leak of LCE idk if there’s still much enthusiasm
Amazing stuff, the devs were a decent bunch too, I distinctly remember pestering a dev to create a save game loader that would write saves from a disk to a vmu on the irc channel for wraggster’s dcemu forum. Might have to dig out my old Dreamcast if it still lives.
I still have an OG Xbox with an emulator and the SNES romset and Conker’s Bad Fur Day on another partition (I did the mod to install a larger HDD). All it took was a hacked save and a Mechwarrior game.
Xbox exclusives coming soon to SteamDeck.
Amazing! Let’s take a look at all the exclusives for xbox!
Tumbleweed
Are there any XBOX One games that aren’t also on PC? Steam Deck can already run most of those.
I guess there’s Rare Replay, but all of those game are already playable on the Steam Deck individually.
Halo 5
“but but but we put Halo 5 Forge on PC that’s what you gamers wanted right?”
— Microslop, probably

Basically, nothing notable except Forza 5.

Ah, I didn’t know about the others! Slim pickins like the PS5, although that has a few that are notably pretty good.
Dude OG Xbox was GOAT for emulation and entertainment. Kodi got its start there, as xbmc.
I’d be so excited to have that again.
Does this apply to X|S or just Xbone?
The dcemulation scene walked so Xbox emulation could run emulated software in new an innovative ways ;3
Ah mate, that was a great community back in the day.
My duuuuude <3
It was MINDBLOWING to me hahaha. I’m thinking “BUT IT’S NOT EVEN A GD-ROM AND IT WORKS AND I CAN PLAY SECRET OF MANA?!”

It only applies to the 2013 model of the original Xbox One. Later Xbox Ones have more stringent checks.
Emulating the former is good enough for games preservation (or whatever you decide to do with the games).

I do too. I use it at least once a month and still love it. It will be a very annoying day when that hard drive finally fails.
Nice. I used Splinter Cell to mod mine.
Plex too fwiw.
this would be funnier, were it not so sad
Oh wait, it’s sad for Microslop so it’s even funnier!!!
I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?
