Dual NAND Support for Squirt360
>> From the Squirt360 Team:
[QUOTE]
Here some nice news about the SQUIRT 360 RGH chips, we are now able to manage the CHIP SELECT and use the SYNC BUTTON to switch between NANDs.

We are happy to show you the first SQUIRT DUAL NAND firmware at work (compatible with all squirt versions).
Here you can view a nice video made by the squirt developers:

Here you can download the TUTORIAL for the installation.
The BITSTREAM 100% compatible with the SLIM 360 consoles will be online tomorrow here.

SQUIRT 360 will release a nice NAND PCB with a 16 Mbyte HYNIX NAND onboard and simple PADS for the connections soon.
Right now we suggest to use the NAND PCB 16Mbyte produced by the PROGSKEET team or buy and connect a standard HYNIX TSOP nand.

xK3y Remote now optional
>> From xk3y.com:
[QUOTE]
A recent customer survey has shown that many Xk3y users use either the Web interface or IsoMenu, without connecting the remote.

We have therefore decided to make the Xk3y remote an optional accessory from today, which will be reflected in our updated distributor pricing.

We are also close to finishing a new unique menu system which cannot be blocked...

'Jailbreaking is Not a Crime' - Bunnie and EFF Letter
>> Andrew (bunnie) Huang (to people who were around during the Xbox1 days, I don't have to tell who he is ...) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation posted an open letter you can sign to the (US) Copyright Office to renew the DMCA jailbreak-exemption for smartphones (which will expire soon) and extend it to all electronic 'gadgets' (like tablets, and ... videogame consoles):
[QUOTE]
You bought it. You own it. Tell the Copyright Office: let me install whatever software I want on my phone, tablet, or video game system.

Dear Ms. Pallante,

Whether it's patching a security vulnerability or homebrewing video games and apps, people who own smart phones, tablets, and video game systems are finding inventive ways to use and improve their devices. Often users need to gain full administrative access, through a process known as "jailbreaking," to innovate and take advantage of the device's full potential.

But right now, jailbreaking a device can lead to legal threats. That's a vulnerability in the law: we need you to create a "patch" so users who jailbreak devices won't be at legal risk.

Three years ago, the Copyright Office agreed to create an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act so that folks could jailbreak their smartphones. But that exemption is about to expire. We need you to renew that exemption and expand it to cover jailbreaking gadgets with similar computation potential. These are all siblings to the PC, yet unlocking their potential as versatile and powerful computers is burdened with legal murkiness.

We need these exemptions to conduct security research on devices to help safeguard everyday users from security threats. Furthermore, users of these products benefit from the flexibility to choose their own operating systems and run independently developed software. We need the law to catch up with how people are using technology.

Jailbreaking is helping to make technology better, more secure, and more flexible. Please defend the rights of users.

Thanks for enabling us to keep technology innovative, secure, and focused on the users.
[/QUOTE]

If you agree, sign the letter over at: jailbreakingisnotacrime.org

360 Content Manager v2.2
>> Xamphear released a new version of 360 Content Manager for JTAG & RGH 360s:
[QUOTE]
What This App Does:
* Browse 360 files on your PC by their real info, like game name and package title.
* Unlock XBLA, DLC and Avatar files downloaded from Xbox Live.
* Upload files (XBLA, DLC, GOD, Avatar, Title Update) to your console over FTP with a single click. Files are automatically uploaded to the right folders.
* Drag and drop files to other applications, if you'd prefer to use your own FTP client.
* Organize a messy folder of downloaded content into 1 of many different directory styles. Restore the original filenames for XBLA and DLC files.
* View the MediaID of Title Updates and GODs so you can match them, and search JQE and XBUC for matching TUs.
* View the MediaID of ISO files. (Requires abgx360)
* View the MediaID of default.xex files.
* Browse your 360's hard drive directly, using FSD. This allows you to delete, unlock, edit and copy the contents of the 360's internal drive over the network.

What's new/fixed:
Bug fixed in Content Organizer, GODs are properly moved between drives
now. Managing content on the 360 itself has been streamlined, drive
mapping is preformed automatically. FSD version 2.2 or higher is HIGHLY
recommended when using this feature. Preview added to the Content
Organizer so you can see the new folder each file will be placed in.
All of the options in the Content Organizer are saved between uses now.
The Library Scan feature has been removed. Date Modified column added.
Fixed bug in uploading when using xFTPdll. Uploading game saves is now
supported, saves are sent over FTP to the proper profile folder location.
Fixed crashing in XP when "File Exists" dialog is displayed. Added wizard
to walk new users through common uses of the program. Disable it and you
will not see it again.
