Xbox 360 Homebrew Finally Arrives

Posted by Soulskill on from the mario's-not-in-kansas-anymore dept.

Busshy writes "Tmbinc has posted a video showing Snes 9X as the first homebrew for the Xbox 360. This coincides with the upcoming release of the Free60 project, which will turn the 360 into the most powerful console for homebrew to date, hopefully with emulators for the Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox and possibly even the Wii."

  1. Not exactly simple to get running with... by Adam+Jorgensen · · Score: 2, Informative

    Took a look at the Free60 Wiki. Getting a 360 to run homebrew is a rather painful and involved process. By comparison, softmodding a wii is childs play.

  2. Not for the latest (Aug 11) update by Drinking+Bleach · · Score: 4, Informative

    I saw this homebrew breakthrough earlier today, I was excited until I noticed the very important message to not update the console -- too late, I already did that a week ago (generally, I update because it's usually a good idea). Unfortunate, but I suspect I'm not the only one with the same misfortune.

    You can't use the graphics card/chip/whatever you want to call it in the Linux sandbox mode.
