this would be funnier, were it not so sad
Oh wait, it’s sad for Microslop so it’s even funnier!!!
Comment on The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it
joyjoy@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
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.
Xbox exclusives coming soon to SteamDeck.

Are there any XBOX One games that aren’t 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.

Basically, nothing notable except Forza 5.

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

“but but but we put Halo 5 Forge on PC that’s what you gamers wanted right?”
— Microslop, probably

I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?

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?
tomalley8342@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
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 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.

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.

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?!”

Plex too fwiw.
3abas@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Well yes, but Plex started as a port of XBMC to run on Mac os; you installed XBMC directly on the Xbox, it turned your Xbox into a streaming box.
