Here is a enlightening video made to show the speed difference between the X360 US Pro (Team Xecuter) and the Lizard (Maximus).

Funny watching a bunch of kiddies spamming the support channels with nonsense about Max’s Lizard finally being able to do Hitachi drives and how the speed difference wasn’t much between the Lizard and the X360USB PRO.

So naturally I made a video. I mean – someone was gonna make one eventually

Is it childish? Yep.
Is it enlightening: Definitely.
Is it funny?

i suggest you hit full screen and switch to 480p

For the record I pulled all our videos from the standard TX guides so they are pretty slow step by step. If I used JF modders mode and the latest JF/USB FW I’d easily shave off another minute

You can come to your own conclusions…….

Geremia has been working on the 360 Slim DVD drive (LiteOn DG16D4S) for some time now and made a lot of progress already. He released his latest version of Tarablinda – a collection of hacks and tricks which he discovered during hw and fw exploration (allows to extract dvdkey and more and since this last version even an experimental way to dump the whole FW):
[QUOTE]
I had no time, no will and no more than 2 drive to test, and i’m not willing to support it too much, it’s just a proof of concept.
It can contain bugs and it’s not an idiot proof app.
I spent 2 months of spare night-time on this, from decapping to fullrawdump, passing by descrambling fw, reversing fw, bruteforcing, finding usefull cdb commands, bugs and tricks. This is the result, not the beginning of something else.
Since it’s my hobby, i’m free to do what i like, just enjoy it or hate it, i dont’ care
Slim liteon is well detectable and also lockable to a permanent read-only SPI flash, it’s just a matter of MS to push the red button.

Tarablinda v0.4b
Usage : Tarablinda [SATA PORT] [dump|erase|rewrite] [file to flash]
Example: Tarablinda E480 dump
Example: Tarablinda E480 rewrite newfw.bin
Special: Tarablinda E480 dump full
Experimental risky fulldump

Tarablinda is a collection of hacks and tricks which i discovered during hw and fw exploration.
It’s only a proof of concept, I take no responsibility for any damage it may causes.
I’ve checked on Via controller (with drivers removed) and Intel ICH7 several time, against 2 different drives with same FW revision.
There could be different FW revision out here, it could not work for several reasons.

dump:
it dumps the dvdkey and checks it with MS drive auth protocol,
like the console does everytime you poweron, so it’s good for sure.
It’s not a destructive/invasive dump.
It dumps also serials (1FFE0 area)
It also dumps the whole dvdkeyarea, included the latest 0×10 bytes of such area, which are unique per drive too.
It also dumps sectors 3Dxxx 3Exxx
Dummy.bin is nothing else than a blank file with dvdkeyarea, 3D000-3EFFF and serials in place, not jf compatible.

//////////experimental-risky//////////////////
dump full:
Like above, then checks if 3D-3E sectors are the known ones, rewrites 3E with patched code to make the fw send us the full dump.
It’s a little risky cause we can’t know for sure if the dumped 3D-3E sectors are really that sector numbers.
Since scrambling the same data at different addrress results in different scrambled data, we can be quite sure.
But again, this is beta software and consider you are risking on your own, it’s your choice.

Erase and Rewrite(which is an erase+write) are mainly for studying purpose
Unless you have a full dump of your drive, erase and rewrite are not recommended for the most
[/QUOTE]

Note that is is just a proof of concept and that there is no hacked FW for the DG16D4S (yet). Also note it might not work (yet) with newer versions of the DG16D4S FW. Use at own risk!

You knew this was coming ? the Xbox 360 Slim Portable. Big differences compared to my older models:

* About 1.5″ inches narrower left and right, 1″ narrower front to back.
* Internal power supply.
* Uses stock Xbox 360 Slim fan so it?s much quieter than my older 3 fan models.
* Touch sensitive power and eject buttons of the Slim have been preserved.

Not so big differences:
* Pushbutton control audio amplification.
* Gateway 1775W 17″ widescreen LCD display @ 1280?720.
* Fan grate design copied from PS3 Laptop design.
* PVC plastic routed case.

Yes we have not forgotten about the CK3-CP. Maybe we have been a little distracted lately with various AVR USB work (however we have certainly been busy with our own actual XECUTER AVR USB work ? this is for sure )

Anyway as many of you in the scene who have been talking to us on IRC in the last few weeks will know, that we ripped the CK3-CP design apart and made some major ?under the hood? changes to make it as slick and as solid as possible (Credits to many of our Beta testers who really jumped the hell out of this and poked every single design flaw in the ass). This really is a fantastic piece of kit and with there being so many variables with everyone?s computer systems / psu?s we wanted to make sure that it was as spot-on as possible. Anyway after a brief hiatus we rolled out the latest prototype and just for fun ? in honor of our friends at Team Jungle including C4E we made this fancy pants Jungle design lol :p

Many are also asking us about the 360 Slim progress since we posted a video of it booting backups a while back. Soon kids, soon

??NAND-X v2 AVR Edition with various goodies coming soon
