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?

    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.

    The dcemulation scene walked so Xbox emulation could run emulated software in new an innovative ways ;3

    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.

    Are there any XBOX One games that aren't also 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.

    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

    Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with "Rare Replay" (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.)
