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.

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?

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?!”

Amazing stuff, the devs were a decent bunch too, I distinctly remember pestering a dev to create a save game loader that would write saves from a disk to a vmu on the irc channel for wraggster's dcemu forum. Might have to dig out my old Dreamcast if it still lives.
