Homebrew Modchip XHM: Xecuter's Breaking News |
Don't you just love breaking news?
Team Xecuter, known for their attempts at bringing homebrew to the XBox 360, have recently made known their plans to take homebrew to a new level. They've announced their plans to bring the first homebrew modchip for the XBox 360, which they're calling the XHM.
As they've stated in their forums, they're going to release their modchip to anyone who wants it, source code and schematics and all, so that others can have a crack at improving and making something the whole community can enjoy. As they wrote on the forums, they are "releasing to the xbox scene... modchip development and putting it in the hands of scene hobbyists."
In its current incarnation, the mod patches DVD firmware on both Hitachi and Samsung drives. The Samsung mod is set to automatically differentiate between backups and originals and patches the firmware accordingly, while the Hitachi code uses manual enabling and disabling.
Even the makers are excited about the release, and its future in the homebrew scene:
From the first release you can expect a Samsung Version - Auto Intelligent Detection and only 11 wires. We have chosen a very easy and cheap IC to purchase and is written in a language which will be understood by the majority of enthusiasts.
Then we will release the Hitachi version - who's patching includes the new mediacheck hack !
Think of the possibilities....
1. Less than $5 - $10 in parts - why spend $60 on a device that does the same if not less ?
2. A complete range of features and up to date code which you can program yourself (Think about it - All drives on one mod, custom SS location, F800/F900 patching, Stealth Patching etc etc)
3. Incredibly fast updates with non reliance on 1 company or person
4. A bit of fun and hopefully a bit of education too !
The information page for XHM is still being set up at the moment, but you can keep posted here for developments on the XHM. You can definitely expect more news on Xecuter releases, as well as future revisions of the XHM project by other intrepid modders, as soon as we have them.

1st post nigz!
Doesn't sound like homebrew for me....
This has nothing to do with homebrew what so ever.
I heard this too many time before!
Some of you are such idiots - of course its homebrew - the full source is there and you can make your own
already others have modified the code to do extra stuff and posted
too many *****es these days - in the meantime i just modified this myself to work on an SX28 that cost me $3
works great BOOYA !
