Here's my newest bit of fun: ABadAvatar, a fully automatic from-boot dashboard exploit for the Xbox 360, using Grimdoomer's BadUpdate exploit!

This isn't the final release, but I wanted to get an official source for it before things got *too* out of hand :p

The user Lithium's Gamer Profile on Games for Windows Live (signed into Insignia) - they are currently showing as online, with 10 Gamerscore and are in the Recreation zone. They are showing as in the United Kingdom with no Motto set, and have one achievement unlocked from Mortal Kombat Arcade.

I built a portable Xbox.
This isn't a PC handheld, it isn't emulation, this is a real motherboard from a real Xbox. It has a 9” 480p display, pure digital video/audio, 100W USB C charge and play, and I'm currently adding WiFi 6 for wireless Xbox Live functionality.
Yes, really.

Libby always works hard on getting more games supported - we are always so grateful! ❤️
