Can’t wait for the guide that turns my Xbox into a Steam Machine!
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.
Plex too fwiw.
Amazing! Let’s take a look at all the exclusives for xbox!

I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?
Dont challenge people by calling something “unhackable”
I mean, it took almost 13 years and the product itself was discontinued six years ago
Tools and methods used to jailbreak this generation can and will be refined and used on the next one. It should be noted that the full force of the hacking community wasn’t behind this effort. The homebrew function placated a lot of people. Had microslop pulled a sony and yanked a feature or not provided that outlet: I’d imagine we’d have seen more exploits sooner.
I watched the talk and the demo, the bar is pretty high. But the good news that a relatively simple modchip should be possible
The unhackable Switch 2!
So depending on the specs it might be fun to get a used Xbox One and turn it into a steam machine. Better it’ll be done within 2 years.
Weird, I was looking at my dusty xbox one on the shelf yesterday and I looked up if it was hackable yet. It would make such a good TV PC.
You should look at more things and wonder if they’re hackable.
They can start with my bank account, I could use a sudden unexplained surge of funds…
Aaand your crypto wallet is hacked.
“wait why is there only 1 dogecoin in here?”
hodl to the moon?
Microsoft probably doesn’t care at this point.

“Aah a ghost!”
Hi, I’m an AI engineer based in Japan, and I’m expanding into the U.S. market to work with more long-term clients. I’m looking for an American collaborator who can act as a communication bridge between me and U.S. clients.
I will handle the technical side myself, including project planning, AI development, and software implementation. Your role would be to join meetings, help with smooth communication, and support the client relationship side.
If this sounds like a good fit, please send me a message.
