Its is unbelieveable news. I didnt think that homebrew on the 360 in any shape or form would ever happen. Wow, I might have to go out an buy a 360 now. I use my xbox1 (xbmc) pretty much every day. Its the ultimate media center / emualtion box.... well except for the fact that it cant play 720/1080 video at more then a frame every couple of seconds. Just to thing that someday the 360 might have the ablitly to run xbmc.... very very nice!

Personally, I would like to see so code or a exe first, that video could easily be faked so I like evidence.

I tested it like a few yesterday or the day before.. it works.. if you want i'll even make a video of it just for you..

it already runs XBMC @ xbox 360 http://cygnos360.com/news.htm

it just isn't usefull yet because of a) no sound

no opengl

from what i understand you can only do this on an offline console? or can it be done- dual boot?

i mean yea cool but if you have to buy a second console just to play snes games or do stuff you can already do on a laptop or PC it would seem kind of pointless. only real benefit would be to people who already own a banned 360

Yes offline only and dual boot won't work (this might change in the future). If homebrew doesnt attract you then update your console and dont look back. Over one year you wish you never updated your 360 if you see all the possiblilties. You guys just dont get it.......

Oh yes almost forgot

Great news another huge step and so fast....... You rock my 360!

This rocks. I have a dream... a dream of my xbox360 being capable of fullspeed, glitchfree N64 emulation, a great MAME emulator and a capable Dosbox emu + all the usual emulators and of course XBMC.

I would pay serious $$$ for this. Seriously.

Concerning XBMC:

QUOTE

<sunga> hmmm just out of curiosity...I guess for xbmc the first thing will be to get a 1080P display driver and making sure the audio is correct (another driver?)
<sunga> but then you can compile xbmc linux for ppc, its not like it has to be written specially for the 360 ?
<tmbinc> well, you need graphic acceleration, so you need to add that (so that'll be specific to the 360, since we don't have an OpenGL wrapper yet for the GPU stuff)
<tmbinc> it's pretty much direct3d-based, so based on the d3d code, it should be easy to support
<tmbinc> well based on d3d9 code, that is
<tmbinc> but xbmc is d3d8
<tmbinc> so all the fixed function pipeline stuff has to be converted to shaders first
<tmbinc> and to be honest, XBMC code is all but nice
<sunga> I see
<fragreaver> :/
<tmbinc> well people still think that once XDK code runs, everything is just a matter of recompilation
<tmbinc> but you will run into exactly the same trouble
<tmbinc> (since XDK doesn't support fixed function pipeline either - since there is none, anymore)
<tmbinc> sure, other problems don't exist with XDK (like missing audio, modesetting), but really, those are things which can be fixed pretty easily.

Ah exciting times! I really look forward to homebrew on the 360, the Xbox 1 did (and mine still does) a lot of awesome things, but I'd really be interested in getting the 360 going. If there's a way that those of you awesome coders could get a full working linux distro on it I'd definitely be interested in that! All the fun emulators and whatnot are always good too. Hopefully with linux we can use hard drives other than the MS one, I've been holding off on buying one of the bigger MS ones.

Impressive for sure but I'm not sure but the 360 is a ticking time bomb even in it's later incarnations.

Concerning XBMC:

I have been trying to say this. I also had an XDK so I can tell you without porting it pretty much can't run because it isn't supported by the emulator (however I think UnleashX is) and porting is where you run into problems. So far XBMC can only be ran from Linux defeating the purpose. I think its going to need to be built from the ground up or ported by the actual developers with a little help from the SDK. One thing however has got me questioning Tmbinc, and that is... how on earth does he plan to get XDK code running? That is something I would REALLY like to see. I have talked about conversion in the past when I use to own an XDK and many high end dev's I talked to pretty much said it was impossible with just an exploit.

Do what I did remove the casing from the Hard Drive and inside is a SATA Hard Drive and a little connector cable. Remove both from the case when other HDD's are confirmed and working and you can swap out SATA hdd's on the fly with the connector cable built into the case at your disposal. However it being Linux it should detect all sata HDD's just like a computer.

Good call, however they need a method to run it if they are going to code it as an XeX. To the best of my understanding there has been no confirmation that this exploit can run any sort of XeX and tmbinc denied that the rest of the team would come out with their modified kernel research so this should be interesting. I wanter if its being developed with tmbinc's xenonlib?

Finally, 5 day ban is up, lol. And yeah, I was wondering the same. They could do one of two things I assume:

1. Create an XeX loader, assuming they have the knowledge to do so.

2. Use tmbinc's xenonlib, as you said, which I think would let xbmc run straight from tmbinc's exploit.
