The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it - Lemmy.World

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?

It only applies to the 2013 model of the original Xbox One. Later Xbox Ones have more stringent checks.
Emulating the former is good enough for games preservation (or whatever you decide to do with the games).
