Undertakencodes found the Holy Grail of Xbox 360 Homebrewers - a hole in the security of the emulator of Xbox. He says this hole makes it possible to load homebrew and backups without hardware/firmware modifications. As proof of concept, Undertakencodes developed a port of the Snes9x which loads on the Xbox 360 but is not playable at the moment.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
Wii, eat your heart out.
Let's just hope Microsoft doesn't find this security hole and fix it.
I bet MS will find and fix it in an update. Or is there a possibility they can't fix it?
Someone with more knowledge about this probably?
It says "Block is Empty", Does this mean its been deleted or removed?
just mod your original xbox if you want emulated games. i ahve all the snes/genesis games and some n64/ps1 games on my xbox. with xbmc, it's also a better media center than the 360.
Running the homebrew apps is fun, and yes, it is a lot better on the original xbox right now. However, because of the xbox 360's greater power, much more would be possible if the modding community could use it instead of the original xbox. I don't know if this would be possible with this exploit because it goes in through the BC software so I wonder if it would only run original xbox homebrew.
If anybody knows if this exploit allows the programmer to access xbox 360 hardware directly and not through the BC software, please post.
