Xk3y firmware V1.12 Updated to remove Asian language restrictions!

Here came a updated news from xk3y.com that xkey Firmware v1.12 without language restrictions arrived.That's to say,the  Asian Language lock removed and the users who bought the asian version x360key before,now dont have any limited to change into English verison any more.Cheers !

Here is a quote from official

"Seasons Greetings from the xk3y Team. Firmware v1.12 without language restrictions!

Posted on December 26th 2011 When xk3y was first launched we produced an OEM version for one of our Chinese partners. This version was locked down to a few Asian language to promote sales in Asia and discourage resellers to export the OEM version to other regions. Sadly, some unscrupulous resellers still sold the OEM version to other regions, leaving end users with xk3y devices that would only display Asian languages on the remote.

We have always stressed that this is an OEM version and not something we support, as we do not offer it for sale. When these issues first surfaced, we discontinued the OEM deal and has since only supplied the standard version. However, in the interest of consumers who have received the OEM version we have decided to remove all language restrictions in the firmware, starting with version 1.12.

- Fixed "Network Fail" Message
- Latest Mr_Waffles Web app
- Asian Language lock removed
- Improved French language strings
- Added more languages "

How to Update firmware V1.12

First you need download the latest firmware from : http://www.digitopz.com/cheap-x360key-for-xbox-360-p-819.html

1. Extract the three files "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg"

2. Open xkey.cfg with Notepad and configure it if needed.
2.1 Add the three files to the root folder of a Flash Drive or HDD. (Make sure to "eject" the drive properly from the PC, it may otherwise cause corrupt files)

3. Connect the Flash drive or HDD to your xk3y remote and wait for the xk3y to start the update.
3.1 The remote OLED will now display "UPDATING - PLEASE WAIT" for about 35 seconds. (Do not turn off your XB360 or disconnect the remote while updating)

4. Once the update is completed, the OLED will display "UPDATE COMPLETE - RESET XBOX" Reboot your xbox and the xk3y should now be updated to the latest firmware.

5. That's it! Continue to enjoy using xk3y with the new features!

NOTE! If you use the same drive as you store games on to do the update with, then its recommended (not needed) to remove the "rootfs", "uImage" & "xkey.cfg" from the root of your drive after a firmware update. Since keeping them there will cause the xk3y to check the files if they are a newer firmware version then stored on your xk3y micro SD card, and because of that take longer time for your HDD to be recognized.

How to Update Xk3y/X360key/Xkey Firmware to V1.11

Here have two pieces of news about x360key,Maybe you have known them,anyway,i still post here for sharing :

1.International Verison of Xkey is available for ages.That's to say,now xk3y with Multi language supportiong is on the market.

2.Xk3y firmware has been updated to V1.11,this time firmware update added more features.I have quoted from official for sharing :

- Added support for static IPs
- Added support for Unecrypted & WEP WLANs
- Added more languages

IND Indonesian
POL Polish
ROM Romanian

- Improved disk profiling code
- Added "No Profile Data" message
- Added more game profiles

and you can download the V1.11 firmware here : xk3y firmware V1.11

Following is a guide how on to use V1.11 firmware :

1. Open your Xbox 360 and extract the drivekey from your ODD. (dummy.bin for SLIM and firmware.bin for FAT)

2. Included with the xk3y is a MicroSD card, on this SD card there is two files "rootfs" & "uImage" (DO NOT FORMAT the MicroSD card!)
2.1 add the extracted drivekey file to the MicroSD card. (make sure you right click and eject your card from the PC, otherwise you may corrupt the files)

3. Place the MicroSD card in the MicroSD slot located on the xk3y Main Board.

4. Connect the xk3y main board between your Xbox360 main board and DVD drive (connecting to the DVD drive is not a requirement, but to use pass-through mode and play games from disc its a must)

Cable layout is as follow.

SATA: Original SATA cable from Xbox main board to (J3) on XK main board.
SATA: Included SATA cable from from Xbox DVD drive to (J2) XK main board.
POWER: Original Power cable from Xbox main board to (P2) on XK main board.
POWER: Included Power cable from Xbox DVD Drive to (P1) on XK main board.
USB: Connect MicroUSB cable from (J4) on XK main board to XK Remote.

Boot Modes

1. Drive Emulation: Start XB360 by pressing the Main Power Switch.
2. isoMenu mode: Start XB360 by pressing the Main Power Switch and the eject to load the isoMenu (read isoMenu.txt for more details)
3. Pass Through: Start XB360 by pressing the Eject button. This will make your XB360 start up in normal mode and let you play game from your original Disc Drive.

How to play games

1. Use any USB drive/hdd media device formatted in NTFS or other supported file formats.
3. Create a folder called "games" in the root of the HDD.
3.1 In the games folder create any folder structure you like.
For example, "games>sports" "games>action"
4. Take your favorite .ISO files and drop them in any folder inside the games folder structure.
5. Enjoy xk3y!

Its also possible to have several HDD devices connected via a powered USB HUB. xk3y will automatically detect all drives and you can then select from the xk3y remote which HDD to use.

IMPORTANT INFO for AP25/XGD3 protected games. (Requires xk3y firmware 1.02 or up)

For all XGD3 games (GoW3, Driver, WarHammer 40K, etc.) it is necessary to put the corresponding "dae.bin" file (that matches your dash board version) in the /games directory. This file can change whenever MS release a Dash update but there is no need to repatch/reburn games, just replace the dae.bin."

What's more,as far as i knew,now digtopz provide xbox game hdd as well,which has contained 51 games,if you want play xbox games with your xk3y,i think,xbox hdd maybe is a good choice as well.As we know,it's really very hard to find a popular game and to download one,it will take much more times.If you are interested in it,you can reference here too : http://www.digitopz.com/xbox360-game-samsung-hdd-p-1106.html

Introduction

The x360dock is a USB ISO Loader for the Microsoft Xbox 360 console priced between $72.95, to $90 USD. . It allows you to play downloaded Xbox 360 ISOs from the internet on your Xbox 360 console, without having to install modified firmware on your disc drive. The x360dock is quite unique. It allows you to play ISOs directly off your computer's internal hard drive, by using a standard Mini USB cable. So no need to go out, and buy a external hard drive. Similar Xbox 360 USB ISO Loaders do not have this feature, and are priced a bit higher than the x360dock at the time of me writing this review.

Official Features List

• Direct PC HDD USB ISO Loading. The x360dock allows you to play ISO games directly off of your computer's internal hard drive.
• Clean Mode. This feature allows the x360dock to still function, even after Microsoft releases a update to the Xbox 360 console.
• A nice friendly GUI. The GUI is very simple, and easy to use.
• Solderless. No need for any additional tools for installation.
• Compatibility The x360dock works with all Xbox 360's, except for those with certain disc drives. A compatibility table can be found below.
• AP25 support Games with the AP26 Anti-Piracy measures can play just fine.
• XGD3 support Games in XDG3 Format play just fine.
• Plug and Play The x360dock can be assembled, and disassembled as many times as wanted to different Xbox 360's. However in order to use the x360dock, you must have your Xbox 360's disc drive keys, which are different for every Xbox 360. To obtain the keys, additional hardware is needed.
• Power Reduction The x360dock, makes it so the original disc drive in your Xbox 360 doesn't have to work. By doing so your disc drive's lens isn't as stressed, and the disc drive doesn't have to consume as much power.
• USB 2.0 support The x360dock supports USB 2.0, meaning that you can transfer data faster to the Xbox 360 console.
• DVD/DL/Multigame compatible The x360dock allows you to play games that have multiple discs, as has support for single layer games.
• Full upgradeable by USB/JTAG. The x360dock's firmware can be upgraded via USB cable, or by a JTAG programming cable.
• Drive mode This feature allows you to use your Xbox 360's original disc drive, in order to play legitimate disc games.

Packaging, and Contents

•Sata Cable
•Power Cable
•x360dock Board
•Ribbon Cable
•Sticky Padding

Design, and Impressions

Design
 
The x360dock motherboard itself has a nice feel to it, very sturdy doesn't feel like it'd break if bent a little bit. The board itself is very nicely labeled in white text where everything should connect to. Such as the Sata/Power cables to the disc drive, and Xbox 360 motherboard.Very user friendly. The Sata, and power cable are standard edition, but they are a bit longer to accommodate the installation. Next up is the USB Dongle, the plastic feels a bit cheap. It has a greasy feel to it, but other than that it serves it's purpose very well. The x360dock team was even nice enough to make it a pass through, so you won't have to dedicate one of your USB Ports to the x360dock. Lastly, is the Ribbon Cable. Although it's pictures may make it look easily snappable, it's quite sturdy as well as flexible in order to suit the needs of slipping through the insides of your Xbox 360.



Impressions
 
At first, I was a bit skeptical at the USB Loaders. After being on the Xbox scene for quite some time, at which only JTAG's or Xbox's with the Reset Glitch Hack were able to USB Load games so the USB Loader looked like paradise. Only there was a catch, they were expensive. If you don't already know, I'm a very cheap cheap person, so the x360dock with it's low price greatly interested me. The price, as well as the fact that it's solder less were a key component. As a bonus, it allowed me to USB Load games directly from my PC's HDD. Instead of having to buy a external HDD. The install is simple just plug it into your Xbox 360, connect all the wires, and connect it to your PC. Run the simple software, and you're off. With my experience with the x360dock, I'd say it's definitely worth the buy. Especially if you don't have the money to grab a expensive disc drive emulator, such as the x360 key. A few other features, as well as a hardware revision will make this a must buy for the Xbox 360 consumer. The team promises to make it Xbox Live safe, and add in a DVD Drive Key extraction feature in a later update. The new revision coming out in a few months is a touch screen remote, that is bundled with the x360dock that allows you to plug in a external HDD to play games, the touch screen allows you to select your games by looking at the case art. Lastly, a few things to mention. The x360dock team mentions the ability to survive Dashboard updates, using a clean feature. The x360dock doesn't modify your Disc Drive in any way, so Microsoft won't see that it's been modified keeping it from getting patched. Whether, or not it's detectable on Xbox Live has yet to be determined.

Set-up and Usage

Hardware

 
The x360dock installation process is quite simple, it's just plug and play. Just open up your Xbox 360, exposing the bare motherboard. Disconnect your disc drive from the Xbox 360, connect the sata and power cables to the x360dock, connect the disc drive to the x360dock using the cables provided with the x360dock. Then slide the ribbon cable into the x360dock's clip labeled USB, make sure it's securely locked into place afterwards slide the slip through the spacing beside the Xbox 360's AV cable port. Carefully proceed to close up your Xbox 360, making sure not to catch the ribbon cable on anything. Now, take the end of the ribbon cable sticking out of the spacing beside the AV cable port, and connect it to the clip on the USB dongle included. Plug the USB Dongle into your Xbox 360's back USB port, and connect it you your PC by plugging in the Mini USB cable. Now, boot up the Xbox 360 while the USB Dongle is connected to your PC. Windows should prompt you for a driver for it, guide Windows to the driver, and it should install successfully. Once done, take your Xbox 360 Drive keys and put them in the same directory as the x360dock program.(Which you can download from the x360dock site, as well as the latest firmware and drivers.) Click the button labeled "Set Up", and choose what Xbox 360 you are using. After that, you may click "Open ISO" which will prompt you to choose a ISO from your computer to play, or you may click "Open ISO with Reboot" which will prompt you to select a ISO from your computer, and once selected it'll reboot the Xbox 360 and then proceeds to load the ISO. Overall the installation process took me 25 minutes, but even if you're new to the Xbox 360 scene, it should only take you about 45 minutes to install the x360dock. The following pictures are of my quick installation of the x360dock, as well as a few pictures of the board itself.






Software
 
The x360dock software is extremely novice friendly, it allows the user to select a ISO to boot, and how it is to boot. Here are the options.

Set Up Allows you to choose what Xbox 360 console you are currently using with the x360dock.



Open ISO Allows the user to select a ISO from their computer for the x360dock to load.

Open ISO With Reboot Allows the user to select a ISO from their computer, and reboots the Xbox 360 and proceeds to load the ISO.

Drive Mode Allows the user to use the Xbox 360's original disc drive to play discs.

From the selection of games I've tried above, 100% of the games worked perfectly.. Regardless of whether, or not the game had anti piracy measures such as AP25, or is in XDG3 format. The x360dock doesn't support Homebrew, only Microsoft signed games. If you were to edit a ISO, it will not boot on the Xbox 360.

Original Xbox

Shenmue 2
Halo: Combat Evolved
Fight Night: Round 2
Halo 2
Just Cause

None of the original Xbox games I tested booted. The disc drive blade just sticks at the "Reading" screen. No ISOs were able to boot, but I've gotten word from the x360dock team, that Xbox original games will be supported in a later update. The x360dock doesn't support Homebrew, only Microsoft signed games. If you were to edit a ISO, it will not boot on the Xbox 360.

Conclusion

If I had to rate the x360dock, I'd give it a 9, out of 10. There's only a few minor issues that prevent it from getting a 10, first off is the x360dock board itself. The board could use a case, wouldn't want to short circuit if something metal were to hit it while it was in your Xbox 360. It would also look a bit nicer, not that you'd be seeing it that often. The USB dongle feels a bit cheap, as I've mentioned before, and the position of the clip inside it makes it a bit difficult to snap down to secure the ribbon cable in place. Other than those two issues, the x360dock is a wonderful USB Loader that has some very nice functions, and a great price in comparison to the other Xbox 360 USB Loaders.

What is x360dock Module 1 and Module 2 ?

As most of us knew, x360dock is a new items for xbox360.Yet,when checking its official features,maybe some players feel some confusion about x360dock Module 1 and Module 2.Now,let's see following quote first to get a general  information of them

" x360dock module1 without remote: A pc/laptop required. After you install the X360dock,just use a normal USB cable to connect the X360dock to your PC. Run our software in the PC and choose the games(which saved in your PC hard disk,), very easy. The PC is a external hdd you know, you can save all of your iso games in it. 

X360dock module2 with touch screen remote: Don't need the PC, just connect your external hdd to the remote, and use the remote to choose the games" 

In fact, x360dock Module 1 and Module 2 are same items,the only difference lies in Module 2 will come with a touch remote.In a simple word,Module 1 is the first generation of x360jailbreak without remote controller,Module 2 is the incoming generation,which will come with a touch LCD Screen Remote,so,users dont need use a PC any more.and this touch controller can be used on Module 1 too.Wow,it seems that x360dock very charming ! n_n !

X360dock Review

As we have known,x360dock is another jailbreak items for xbox360.The official didnt release any news about it till it was out.So,this blog will give you a more detailed information about x360dock,it was just a simple reivew,not professional one.

Who is x360dock ?

X360dock is a solderless USB loader for Xbox 360,by which we can  play games from our external hdd abd we dont need to worry about the games being damaged. Moreover, we no longer use the DVD drive and so it will extend the life of your console.

The Comparison of xk3y and x360dock

Similar

1.Both x360key and x360dock can hack xbox360 so that we can play games from our external harddrive.
2.They are a solderless USB loader for Xbox 360.
3.Support all fat xbox 360 consoles and most slim types.
4.Require retrieve the key from our DVD drive before installing.

Difference

1.x360dock can support multi-language version,yet,the xk3y at present,just supports Asian Verison and it was said that the Asian version will never support European languages (and the ISO menu will go Asian only soon too).

2.xkey with a outer controller to controller xkey,yet,x36odock needs a compture to manage,maybe it will improve later.

3.x360dock is cheaper than x360dock.

How to install X360dock

I can't say how quickly and suddently had x360dock team.As we all knew,before this card came out,we just knew xkey,and x360 team didn't relased any information about this item till they finished.I have roughly see this item between xk3y and x360dock,and found that the x360 dock with the same function with xkey,yet,the price is lower than xkey.

What's your opinion about this card ?

Guide : How to use the screenshot function with PS3 user cheat

As the world first one dongle to support supports PS3 game roms and PS3 AR cheat,now,ps3 usercheat adds new function-Screenshot.That's to say,users can use screenshot function on their ps3 with cheat.


Here is a guide on how to use ps3 cheat screenshot function :

1: download the latest CodeUnique manager and update in the PS3. As the operation of the latest CU is still the same as before.

(Note,here have two types of CodeUnique,one is Lite version,the other one is full version.

So called,Lite version, you need to use MultiMan or Gaia to lead the games, and then use it to open the cheat options. Fixed the compatability of a few games issues.

Full version is an all-in-one AND self-developed application. you don't USE MultiMan or Gaia, switch back and forth. because all function is being built in it.)


2: press the "home" button of the controller in the game, call up the "XMB" menu, then move the cursor left to "Photo" menu and select "Save Screenshoot".

3: the screenshot will be saved in "photo" folder. Classified by subject is friendly to browse and backup etc.

Note: if used LITE version, when you enter into the CU, the screenshot function is available even if you won't load the cheating options.

the process: load the game with Multiman -> back to XMB -> enter into CU even if without load anything code -> pree "△" and exit -> take screenshot in game.

Summary: As long as you enter into CU, whether having code in this game or loading the code or not, the screenshot function is still available in any games.

Video : xKey (x360key) Booting XGD3 game on 360. Driver San Francisco Released

Here is a new updated information from x36okey official that the first game in the new XGD3 format,named Driver San Francisco can be running on Xk3y.What's more,the official has shared this video with us :

 

Then what's  XGD3 format exactly?

 Microsoft will introduce the so-called XGD3 disc formats from around late April / early May. Currently, the XGD2 (Xbox Game Disc 2) formats in use.  

The disc image will always have a fixed size of about 6.8GB net and as such are limited to this maximum limit.  

The format offers something XGD3 about 1GB more memory (also net) and reached thus roughly 7.8GB.
This 1GB available to developers of course. However, this new hash checks and anti-piracy measures are used.
This XGD3 disc image (if one can read in the conventional way),
cannot be burned to a commercially available double-layer discs, because they are outside the size capacity.
During pressing of the discs in the press shop are virtually forced validation data to the extreme edges of the disc,
which on the one hand, the verification, on the other hand, as an anti-copying system,
since these sectors are not to describe blanks, not to mention the fact that Brenner these do Außnahmesituationen can only describe.

In fact,i'm longing for this item for ages and really hope it can be out asap.Let's pay more attention to this item and if there have any udpated news,i will share here.

Unboxing of x360key video Arrived !

A unofficial updated news about xk3y that the Unboxing of x360key video released by a xkey official agent who released the sample from x360key team and did the test ! In the video they showed a roughly guide on how to install it, explained the menu of the x360key screen, let's take a look.

XBox 360 Reset Glitch Hack on Fat and Slim Models Released

 Here is a news about xbox hacked that the XBox 360 Reset Glitch Hack for both the Fat and Slim models have been released by oday XBox 360 hackers GliGli and Tiros.Nice work ! What's more,they are generously share the source code and a demo video for us as well ! Thanks for their hard working !

Reading following content to get more details :

quote: 

"The XBox 360 reset glitch hack - Introduction / some important facts: tmbinc said it himself, software based approaches of running unsigned code on the 360 mostly don't work, it was designed to be secure from a software point of view.

The processor starts running code from ROM (1bl) , which then starts loading a RSA signed and RC4 crypted piece of code from NAND (CB).

CB then initialises the processor security engine, its task will be to do real time encryption and hash check of physical DRAM memory. From what we found, it's using AES128 for crypto and strong (Toeplitz ?) hashing. The crypto is different each boot because it is seeded at least from:

• A hash of the entire fuseset.
• The timebase counter value.
• A truly random value that comes from the hardware random number generator the processor embeds. on fats, that RNG could be electronically deactivated, but there's a check for "apparent randomness" (merely a count of 1 bits) in CB, it just waits for a seemingly proper random number.

CB can then run some kind of simple bytecode based software engine whose task will mainly be to initialise DRAM, CB can then load the next bootloader (CD) from NAND into it, and run it.

Basically, CD will load a base kernel from NAND, patch it and run it.

That kernel contains a small privileged piece of code (hypervisor), when the console runs, this is the only code that would have enough rights to run unsigned code. In kernel versions 4532/4548, a critical flaw in it appeared, and all known 360 hacks needed to run one of those kernels and exploit that flaw to run unsigned code. On current 360s, CD contains a hash of those 2 kernels and will stop the boot process if you try to load them. The hypervisor is a relatively small piece of code to check for flaws and apparently no newer ones has any flaws that could allow running unsigned code.

On the other hand, tmbinc said the 360 wasn't designed to withstand certain hardware attacks such as the timing attack and "glitching". Glitching here is basically the process of triggering processor bugs by electronical means. This is the way we used to be able to run unsigned code.

The reset glitch in a few words

We found that by sending a tiny reset pulse to the processor while it is slowed down does not reset it but instead changes the way the code runs, it seems it's very efficient at making bootloaders memcmp functions always return "no differences". memcmp is often used to check the next bootloader SHA hash against a stored one, allowing it to run if they are the same. So we can put a bootloader that would fail hash check in NAND, glitch the previous one and that bootloader will run, allowing almost any code to run.

Details for the fat hack

On fats, the bootloader we glitch is CB, so we can run the CD we want.

cjak found that by asserting the CPU_PLL_BYPASS signal, the CPU clock is slowed down a lot, there's a test point on the motherboard that's a fraction of CPU speed, it's 200Mhz when the dash runs, 66.6Mhz when the console boots, and 520Khz when that signal is asserted.

So it goes like that:

• We assert CPU_PLL_BYPASS around POST code 36 (hex).
• We wait for POST 39 start (POST 39 is the memcmp between stored hash and image hash), and start a counter.
• When that counter has reached a precise value (it's often around 62% of entire POST 39 length), we send a 100ns pulse on CPU_RESET.
• We wait some time and then we deassert CPU_PLL_BYPASS.
• The cpu speed goes back to normal, and with a bit of luck, instead of getting POST error AD, the boot process continues and CB runs our custom CD.

The NAND contains a zero-paired CB, our payload in a custom CD, and a modified SMC image.

A glitch being unreliable by nature, we use a modified SMC image that reboots infinitely (ie stock images reboot 5 times and then go RROD) until the console has booted properly. In most cases, the glitch succeeds in less than 30 seconds from power on that way.

Details for the slim hack

The bootloader we glitch is CB_A, so we can run the CB_B we want.

On slims, we weren't able to find a motherboard track for CPU_PLL_BYPASS. Our first idea was to remove the 27Mhz master 360 crystal and generate our own clock instead but it was a difficult modification and it didn't yield good results.

We then looked for other ways to slow the CPU clock down and found that the HANA chip had configurable PLL registers for the 100Mhz clock that feeds CPU and GPU differential pairs. Apparently those registers are written by the SMC through an I2C bus.

I2C bus can be freely accessed, it's even available on a header (J2C3).

So the HANA chip will now become our weapon of choice to slow the CPU down (sorry tmbinc, you can't always be right, it isn't boring and it does sit on an interesting bus

So it goes like that:

• We send an i2c command to the HANA to slow down the CPU at POST code D8 .
• We wait for POST DA start (POST DA is the memcmp between stored hash and image hash), and start a counter.
• When that counter has reached a precise value, we send a 20ns pulse on CPU_RESET.
• We wait some time and then we send an i2c command to the HANA to restore regular CPU clock.
• The cpu speed goes back to normal, and with a bit of luck, instead of getting POST error F2, the boot process continues and CB_A runs our custom CB_B.

When CB_B starts, DRAM isn't initialised so we chose to only apply a few patches to it so that it can run any CD, the patches are:

• Always activate zero-paired mode, so that we can use a modified SMC image.
• Don't decrypt CD, instead expect a plaintext CD in NAND.
• Don't stop the boot process if CD hash isn't good.

CB_B is RC4 crypted, the key comes from the CPU key, so how do we patch CB_B without knowing the CPU key?

RC4 is basically: crypted = plaintext xor pseudo-random-keystream

So if we know plaintext and crypted, we can get the keystream, and with the keystream, we can encrypt our own code. It goes like that:

• guessed-pseudo-random-keystream = crypted xor plaintext
• new-crypted = guessed-pseudo-random-keystream xor plaintext-patch

You could think there's a chicken and egg problem, how did we get plaintext in the first place? Easy: we had plaintext CBs from fat consoles, and we thought the first few bytes of code would be the same as the new CB_B, so we could encrypt a tiny piece of code to dump the CPU key and decrypt CB_B!

The NAND contains CB_A, a patched CB_B, our payload in a custom plaintext CD, and a modified SMC image. The SMC image is modified to have infinite reboot, and to prevent it from periodically sending I2C commands while we send ours.

Now, maybe you haven't realised yet, but CB_A contains no checks on revocation fuses, so it's an unpatchable hack !

Caveats

Nothing is ever perfect, so there are a few caveats to that hack:

• Even in the glitch we found is pretty reliable (25% success rate per try on average), it can take up to a few minutes to boot to unsigned code.
• That success rate seems to depend on something like the hash of the modified bootloader we want to run (CD for fats and CB_B for slims).
• It requires precise and fast hardware to be able to send the reset pulse.

Our current implementation

We used a Xilinx CoolRunner II CPLD (xc2c64a) board, because it's fast, precise, updatable, cheap and can work with 2 different voltage levels at the same time. We use the 48Mhz standby clock from the 360 for the glitch counter. For the slim hack, the counter even runs at 96Mhz (incremented on rising and falling edges of clock) The cpld code is written in VHDL. We need it to be aware of the current POST code, our first implementations used the whole 8 bits POST port for this, but we are now able to detect the changes of only 1 POST bit, making wiring easier.

Conclusion

We tried not to include any MS copyrighted code in the released hack tools. The purpose of this hack is to run Xell and other free software, I (GliGli) did NOT do it to promote piracy or anything related, I just want to be able to do whatever I want with the hardware I bought, including running my own native code on it.
