Thank you! I'm looking forward to document all these formats in a similar style. Most newcomers to Xbox One research seem to struggle with these and even I keep reinventing the wheel sometimes and forget about parts of the format. I reckon this is a nice way to get introduced to xb1 shenanigans...
Hi,
I've decided to try my hand at visually documenting the different important file formats used in the Xbox One console. I'm releasing a PDF which visually shows the structure of these formats.
The first format I've documented is XVD (Xbox Virtual Disc) which is the main vessel used to...
I never said I was looking for entrypoints in retail consoles :) We are still lacking a lot of knowledge that can be obtained from reversing consoles in dev mode
1. Preservation. If you know how this device works, feel free to document it. I want to discover what's inside, what design and HW they used.
2. Hacking. The system communicates w/ the device and has dedicated drivers for it. Possible entrypoint
Anyways, we've already reached the goal. So...
Hi y'all,
The Xbox One has a huge catalogue of undocumented / obscure hardware accessories, which I would like to reverse engineer and document, releasing all the discoveries to the public. So I've decided to launch a small crowdfunding to see if there's community interest in analysing the...
Basically what @Tomato123 said:
BD-J: Feature that consists in basically including very limited Java code in BluRay discs, for the readers to execute. This code is, again, Java bytecode, not native bytecode. In other words, it runs in a (sort of) VM. And has a very limited set of capabilities...

Specially useful for research, but also for preservation of our Xbox one consoles. Memories tend to wear down after years (e.g.: Nintendo Wiis are bricking nowadays because of decaying NAND memories) so this is also a great method to preserve and future-proof the unique information from your...
Yes, these are handy if you don't have any adapter at hand, and having the pinout makes it easier for people trying the mod.
I knew about these, unfortunately they are out of stock, and soldering a resistor turned out to be cheaper :) but these are great nonetheless.
Anyways, I'm working on a...
Thank you
I tried XBFSTool and it worked just fine with the NAND dumps from Silverton :) can extract the filesystem and cert automatically. Thanks for the heads up!
Hello all,
I have reverse engineered some of the PHAT Xbox One revision 2 (also called Silverton) hardware so it is possible to dump the NAND memory with a hardware method. These are Xbox One console manufactured around 2015 and later.
Previously, only the original Xbox One (code-named...
I haven't played my Switch n a month or so, just been playing Xbox, and just picked to play lil and Damn that A and B, X and Y being reversed always gets me.
I agree Tears is great. I even played thru it completely twice. I've been hooked on playing thru Fallout 4 again though, after they released the next gen version for Series S/X. Is pretty cool update.
because I already got burned out with breath of the wild, which for the most part is essentially the same game, and then again with master mode, which doesn't work as a new game plus (that always felt bizarre to me)
