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.

Are there any XBOX One games that aren’t also on PC? Steam Deck can already run most of those.

I guess there’s Rare Replay, but all of those game are already playable on the Steam Deck individually.

Basically, nothing notable except Forza 5.

Ah, I didn’t know about the others! Slim pickins like the PS5, although that has a few that are notably pretty good.

ironically, one of the xbox one games people are most interested in porting to pc is the legacy console edition of minecraft, a game famously already on pc!

tho with the recent source code leak of LCE idk if there’s still much enthusiasm

Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with “Rare Replay” (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.)
Halo 5

“but but but we put Halo 5 Forge on PC that’s what you gamers wanted right?”

— Microslop, probably
