New Product: Xecuter Sonus 360

This has been a pet project for a while now and we've finally got it working on all Xbox 360 slim models (Phat is being done next) 

The Xecuter Sonus 360 essentially allows you to program a different startup sound to your Xbox 360 !

This is a really fun tool and you will love it. We'll post more details when we are ready to ship (production has already started)

Requirements:

• Xecuter Sonus 360 (easy to solder)
• J-R Programmer v1 or v2 (new firmware updated will be released)
• J-Runner Software (Upcoming version will include Corona 4GB and Sonus 360 support)

Busy, busy, busy…….

Xecuter QSB CR Upgrade For Corona

For those who wish to try the recently released Corona16 code for XC2C64A based CoolRunners, we have designed a clean and simple QSB solution so you can easily upgrade with no mess and no fuss.

It is compatible with all versions of the Xecuter X2C64A CoolRunner and also has adapters for easy plug n play of the NAND-X, JR Programmer v1 and JR Programmer v2.

Shipping next week to all major resellers. Price TBA.

Xecuter Corona16 XC2C64A VHDL Source Code

We have added the full VHDL source code for our Corona16 XC2C64A hack. As reported before the limitations of the hardware make it an unreliable glitch – we have fixed this with the upcoming CoolRunner 3.

We also found the possible reason that Xell doesn't boot with any video. The ref clock changes from 14Mhz to 24Mhz. On Corona it changes to 30Mhz and crashes – hence no video. This is ref clock for lvds controller on the GPU from lvds hana change sync in hdmi. But if lvds doesn't work, then the gui doesn't work. No doubt the Xell guys will have a fix shortly. In the meantime you can get your CPU Key via Jrunner over lan using Xell – and you can even use the CK3i or NAND-X USB Update cable to get the CPU Key over Serial – JRunner will open the COM Port and sniff the key out for you – we added this a couple of weeks ago 😉

Enjoy 🙂

Xecuter DIY Corona16 CoolRunner – Free Upgrade

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS CORONA RGH METHOD IS NOT TOO RELIABLE AND DOES NOT GLITCH AT THE BEST SPEEDS. THE HACK IS MADE AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN  HAVE A PLAY WITH THIS YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT RESULTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE.

THIS IS WHY WE DESIGNED THE COOLRUNNER 3, IT HAS BEEN FINE TUNED USING A MUCH MORE ADVANCED DESIGN AND GLITCHES VERY RELIABLY AND VERY FAST. WE DO NOT OFFER ANY GUARANTEES OR SUPPORT WITH THIS CORONA METHOD.

To get this working on CoolRunner Rev A B or C you simply have to add a 48.000MHz crystal.

If you have Rev A or Rev B remember to remove C15.

It's a bit cheap and cheerful and the hack isn't that good with the limitations of the older gen XC264A hardware but here it is anyway.

The crystal has to be good quality – not some cheap crappy one as it will not work.

These work very well:

http://ie.farnell.com/jsp/search/pro…sp?SKU=1640968

48.000MHz crystal wiring to the CoolRunner:
PIN 1,4 to 3v3
PIN 2 to GND
PIN 3 to B

We have included 6 files with different timings:

tx_corona_0_2.xsvf
tx_corona_0_3.xsvf
tx_corona_1_2.xsvf
tx_corona_1_3.xsvf
tx_corona_2_2.xsvf
tx_corona_2_3.xsvf

The most important point is the CPU_RST – this will make the difference between a 30 second glitch and a 30 minute glitch.

You may want to try using the CPU RESET CLEANER addon that we released – it works very well with RGH1 and RGH2.

We also recommend you try the different wire layouts as per the original CoolRunner instructions.

CoolRunner 3 is in production right now – you will get to see how Slim glitching should be done

Thanks to GliGli & Tiros for the original RGH exploit.

CoolRunner 3 In Production/Free DIY Corona Upgrade/CPU RESET Cleaner/JRPv1 Upgrade /iPhone App for Demon and CoolRunner

CoolRunner 3 Now In Production

We are now pleased to announce that full production has started and PRE-ORDERS will be authorized this week.

It's been just over 2 months since we cracked the Corona and perfected the boot performance along with the new RATER System so you can get the absolute best quality glitch for your money.

The JR programmer v2 is also in production along with a brand new QSB for the Trinity and the Corona.

As a special gift and in honor of our American friends as today is 4th July we will include a free RATER QSB System in the first 1000 CoolRunner 3's free of charge (Value $6.95)

Free DIY Corona Upgrade For CoolRunners

Speaking of special gifts…..

We have decided to release some of our code that will glitch 16MB Corona's using a CoolRunner or any other standard XC2C64A based glitch board.

It's still RGH2 based and is no where near as good and fast and reliable as the CoolRunner 3 / RGH3 – but for those that want to have a play until then, you can easily do a DIY upgrade by adding a 48.000MHz crystal.

A NAND-X or JR programmer v1 can still be used to read/write the 16MB NAND.

The pic shows a Rev A, we're just putting together the info for the Rev B and Rev C too and will get all of that code and parts info posted shortly.

CPU RESET Cleaner Shipping This Week !

One of the main problems for RGH2 users (and some RGH1 too), is the quality of the CPU_RST line. Over the last couple of weeks we have seen some great results on our forums with various methods of combining different capacitors and resistors to give a really nice performance boost (some guys went from not glitching at all to 10 seconds !)

We have designed this very nice addon board which with have simply called the COOLRUNNER CPU RESET CLEANER.

You can easily select resistor Combos of 1K, 2K and 3.3K, and capacitor combos of 470pF, 560pF and 680pF – these are all of the values that gave the very best results.

Can be used on all Xecuter CoolRunners and all other RGH Glitch Boards on both Phat and Slim version installs.

On sale at all good Xecuter Stockists from next week only $4.95

JR Programmer v1 Speed Upgrade

The new JR programmer v2 read/writes MUCH faster than the v1 so we have taken the speed tech we used and made a simple upgrade PCB for the v1 to give it the new v2 speeds (now almost as fast as the NAND-X !). The upgrade is being manufactured next week and will be available to buy from all good Xecuter Stockists for only $4.95

……and finally

Remember the cool addons for DemoN that we talked about. How about Bluetooth or WiFi ?

Yes that is an iPhone running a Demon and Coolrunner – thanks to our good friend BioHazard

Oh you want Android too ? OK……

Xecuter CoolRunner 3 Update & RATER Feature

We are happy to announce that the new and latest version of the CoolRunner 3 design is now in the hands of a core group of testers and we are very happy with the results on Trinity & Corona.

The updated RGH3 is giving great timings on our test machines (both Trinity & Corona are glitching amazingly well (1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,2,1…..).

We can also now tell you about the new RATER feature.

When hooked up to a new QSB system that we will show you soon and the new J-R programmer v2, the J-Runner software will automatically test your glitch settings for you giving an overall score in performance (this is fully automatic including console resets!)

There are several timing settings that we found to work across our test machines so we included them all on the CoolRunner v3 – so you can simply test each setting and stick with the best RATER score. The average timings can be taken over a few tests or hundreds – even thousands (example we tested a machine with 1500 and found its highest rater score to show that 83% of its glitches were in its very first glitch cycle!)

No more guess work

We will give you more info very soon, but we are gearing up ready for full production in the next few weeks.

Xecuter Fusion v1.0.9 Released

Xecuter Fusion v1.0.9 Released

What is Fusion?

Fusion is a hacked devkit kernel that runs on retail RGH hacked consoles. Think of it as a modified OS for your xbox console. It brings you all the features and capabilities of a real devkit without all of the annoyances. Fusion is more powerful than any normal devkit or modified retail console. It is designed for both developers, and gamers, bringing the best of both worlds together .

For Gamers
Fusion may be designed on a kernel made for developers, but there are many features exclusively for gamers:

• No system-link ping limit, can also system link with both retail and devkit consoles
• Can use both retail and devkit gamer profiles. saves, and game content
• Boot straight to your dashboard of choice
• No restrictions on games or content
• No region checks
• Arcade games are fully licensed all the time
• Multi-disc games can be ran off the hard drive with no insert disc messages
• Built in trainer launcher
• Can easily boot xell, trainer launcher, and settings manager via custom tab on xbox guide
• Games copied to hdd via dashboard no longer need the disc in the dvd drive to play
• And much more…

For Developers

• Because fusion is based on a devkit kernel developers may take advantage of all the features of a real devkit, as well as new features exclusively for fusion users:
• Turns console into full devkit
• Full debugging capabilities
• Works with microsoft tools and sdk
• All internal drives are mapping in Xbox Neighborhood
• Xex security checks have been removed
• Full memory access as well as hv privileged access
• All system keys are accessible with user mode access
• Can use both retail and devkit devices
• And much more…

Who is Fusion For

Fusion is currently in its early stages of development which means there may or may not be bugs in the software, some standard features may not work as expected, and it may not be user friendly to everyone who uses it. It is recommended that you have a moderate understanding of basic RGH techniques, installation procedures for common homebrew software, and good problem solving skills. Everything you need to know as far as installing/updating and using fusion has been thoroughly documented in the included PDF. If you cannot follow the instructions then it is recommended you seek assistance online for installing and using fusion.

This version of Fusion has had a lot of bug fixes and updates to address all the issues that have given beta testers problems (we hope).

One thing we have to ask you to do is to start from a clean setup if you installed a previous version of Fusion (erase all Fusion directories and files and start from scratch).

There were many redundant files in the last setup that are not needed any more and may cause your system to crash. A clean install will solve this problem.

We should also remind all users that this is a BETA. If you are not prepared to deal with problems that occur with beta releases then do not use Fusion.

For the rest of the instructions please read the included PDF – it has been extensively updated and answers all questions.

Thank you for using Fusion
