Xbox360 S Diagram for NandPro

Just as a note: MODFREAKz released the diagram to read/write the NAND of the Xbox360 S,  with NandPro via USB SPI.
However; This is currently not useful for end-users, as all Xbox360 Slim consoles come with new & locked CB, so the JTAG/SMC hack is not possible on these consoles. But this is of course useful for new research and who knows what the future will bring.

Dash Launch v2.00

cOz released a new version of Dash Launch for homebrew 360s:
* At time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with freeBOOT 9199 read info_launch.ini for info on options and setting launch parameters.* This a core rewrite, major changes were done to the paths used in the ini file, the installer can update these for you if you have the old ini files accessible at the time of install. See the inlcuded sample ini files.
* The installer is now much more robust, and can even flash the appropriate patches to your console for you, all that is required is that you have installed freeboot 9199
Overview:
* It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in launch.ini as long as it’s valid
* 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
* Depending which button is held when closing miniblade in NXE (use Y button to close, release then hold a QL button) it will quick launch a CON or XEX from your ini file
* 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 0×4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary format is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but uses real virtual addresses rather than offsets – see 1.0 release for a windows patch builder
* 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
What’s new/fixed (since v1.0):
- plugins now use logical paths just like quick launch buttons
- option subvert Y to exit miniblade while in NXE to load button/default (fixed)
- added common (9199) content and ping limit patches as options
- mostly runs in system threads, startup completes while bootanim runs
- completely subverted dash.xex, no more CD issues or NXE split seconds
- removed insistance on 0/1/2 paths and reliance on CaPs to detect
- return to NXE via miniblade for system settings and others works w/o using RB
- added big block NAND mu as possible device
- optionally subvert Y to exit miniblade while in NXE to load button/default
- added xell loader to patch set and included a xex to load xell
- removed reboot on fatal error from patches
- included reboot/shutdown on fatal error as settings
- installer onscreen output cleaned up, now shuts down console at end of install
- added ini file updater to installer- added patch updater to installer

Play your PSP Games on your PS3

Posted back on September 8th, forum member Xitherun mentioned this:
dunno if anyone’s seen this, but one of my friends found an interesting directory in the PS3′s flash:
/dev_flash/pspemu/release, and there’s a umd9660.sprx in there.
what do we make of ‘pspemu’?
And now we can answer with this… Russian hacker, GameSuper, demonstrates how super he is with his game by playing any PSP game on a hacked PS3. For demonstration purposes GTA Chinatown Wars is used. How does GameSuper do it? Well that method isn’t public yet. GameSuper is setting to release a beta soon — in 2 parts: 1) a tool that’ll convert a PSP ISO to a PS3 compatible format, and 2) a homebrew app to run on your PS3 that’ll enable pspemu.
Awesome! Unless of course, you know, it’s a fake. Time will tell.
