Update to Xbox LIVE Code of Conduct
>> A Letter from Marc Whitten:
[QUOTE]
Since the beginning, Microsoft has made an investment in the security and safety of Xbox LIVE and created tools and monitoring practices to ensure it is a fun and welcoming entertainment experience for people of all races, nationalities, religions and sexual orientations. And thanks to this investment and the enthusiasm of community members like you, we're proud to be the strongest and most diverse online community of its kind at 23 million.
The Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and Code of Conduct are designed to create a place where people can safely enjoy all of the ways to interact on our service, be it online multiplayer gaming, photo sharing, Netflix parties, or social games such as 1 vs. 100, without fear of discrimination or harassment. As the service evolves and our customers provide us with feedback, these rules evolve to incorporate new features or changes in how people wish to interact.
With that in mind, I'd like to announce an update to the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and Code of Conduct which will allow our members to more freely express their race, nationality, religion and sexual orientation in Gamertags and profiles. Under our previous policy, some of these expressions of self identification were not allowed in Gamertags or profiles to prevent the use of these terms as insults or slurs. However we have since heard feedback from our customers that while the spirit of this approach was genuine, it inadvertently excluded a part of our Xbox LIVE community. This update also comes hand-in-hand with increased stringency and enforcement to prevent the misuse of these terms.
I truly believe that our diversity is what makes us strong: diversity in gaming and entertainment options, and diversity in the people that make up this amazing community. I look forward to seeing you on LIVE soon.

FreeStyle Dash 2010-03-02
>> Since FreeStyle Dash went opensource there has been some development on its new google code page.
JQE released a new compiled version:
[QUOTE]
Notable new features:
* GoD launches from Game menu (not arcade) with full cover and screenshot support
* Parental Controls.
* Configurable Temp, Disk Space, and IP Address on the main screen.
The files are downloadble from the google code site.
Again any developers want to add just send me a message and i will be happy to add people.
I will do my best to co-ordinate changes and add things to the SVN.
The big thing is FTP needs to be worked on, and sadly i don't know much about the FTP configs... I am not a coder as a first career, it's more of a hobby for me.

Dash Launch v0.02
>> Team XeDev released a new version of Dash Launch, which will allow you to boot your Xbox360 directly into homebrew software:
[QUOTE]
what it does:
waits for bootanim to finish, then launches a xex or con as defined in ini file (you don't see NXE dash)
v0.02 changes
- added a small delay so XBR users who want to launch a con from launch.xex can
- implemented a simple ini file parser and fileExist
- auto detects LIVE and XEX2 to use the appropriate launch method
- fails to dash reliably now
the ini file:
-it's possible to have two ini files, one on hdd and one on a usb device, the USB ini takes priority over the hdd one, so console behaviour can be changed by adding/removing usb device (** it is NOT recommended to launch USB con/xex from hdd ini **)
-MUST be plain ASCII text, the first character of the file MUST be the start of a path to a xex or con, the last character after the path must be a semicolon ; there are no spaces allowed and everything after the semicolon will be ignored.

Run Jungle Flasher Win7 x64 With Perm Disabled Driver Signing – No More F8
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
As you may (or may not) know, the new 64bit compatible Jungle Flasher requires you to disable the Windows 7 driver signing policy by hitting F8 every time you boot up as the 64 bit PortIO driver isn't digitally signed.
After a bit of digging we found a nice workaround that completely patches the Windows Patchguard system. No more F8 and rebooting and no more Test Mode - works 100%
All info and files were found on fyyre.ivory-tower.de - so full credits go to Fyyre (Follow his Twitter)
The patch is a simple 3 stage process and is completely uninstallable. Takes just a few seconds to implement.
This patch is for Windows 7 X64. It directly modifies ntoskrnl.exe & winload.exe to remove Microsoft's "PatchGuard" and requirement of driver signing.
This is accomplished by patching 6 bytes inside ntoskrnl.exe and four bytes inside of winload.exe.
I originally made this for myself... wanting to again be able to hook inside of ntoskrnl like with X86 Windows.
Copy the files to your desktop. First run 1.cmd, then 2.exe and click patch, then run 3.cmd. After reboot select Patchguard Disabled option and thats it

Here is source code and other info for those that want to dig further.

Dash Launch v0.01
>> Team XeDev released this first version of Dash Launch, which will allow you to boot your Xbox360 directly into homebrew software:
[QUOTE]
what it does:
waits for bootanim to finish, then launches a con (you don't see NXE dash)
currently launch.xex is built to launch xexmenu con at
Hdd:\\Content\\0000000000000000\\C0DE9999\\00080000\\C0DE99990F586558
install:
-put launch.xex in the root of your hard drive's content partition
-add the included patches to freeboot/xbr patchset (there is a bonus in there for those who don't have it)
xex source is included, in it's current form it does the minimal amount of work to launch the con if it's not present it should fail to dash with "could not load" error message

Iso2God v1.2.2 and God2Iso v1.0.2
>> A new version of Iso2God and God2Iso have been released.
KrK / Team 360h released a new app called ISO2GOD, a PC app for converting Xbox 360 ISO images straight into Games on Demand containers.
What's new/fixed:
+ New settings for padding removal mode and FTP port.
~ Low disk space confirmation replaced with status bar notification.
~ Fix for FTP upload progress.
~ Fix for FTP connection issue.
Rab released a new version of GOD2ISO.
What's new/fixed:
* Now works on god made by Iso2God (with XSF header) and some tools that produce gods without an XSF header. Some/all NXE installs (converted to god) have XSF header stripped and have incorrect offsets in them. I don't know how the xbox works around this, but if I find out I'll be able to add support for them too
