XM360 v1.0
>> Team XeDev released a new version of XM360.
What's new/fixed:
* For DLC titles that you have, the text at the bottom of the screen will indicate "Not Scraped" for titles that you have but couldn't be matched with the marketplace website. This is usually an indication that you should find the one from the marketplace and mark it as "ignore."
* The default view for the DLC scene (when it first shows up) is now titles for which you have some DLC (makes more sense to start there)
* The <All> setting in the DLC scene now works correctly. It used to always show everything instead of paying attention to the filter.
* You now have the ability to "Ignore" entire titles. So, if you never plan to have any "Lips" DLC, then mark "Lips" as ignored. This allows you to clean up the view of all existing DLC, if you care to do so. This concept carries over the the report that you can output as well. An ignored title will have none of it's DLC reported, but the title itself will be reported at the end where it reports on titles that are ignored. Makes sense?
* Title Update scene allows you to backup all TU files to hdd:\Cache2 (the reverse of the already implemented Restore)
* Title Update scene allows you to backup/restore single TU files
* Added temperature display to all scenes

libSDL360x v0.01
>> Lantus released the SDL Library for Xbox 360, which should allow developers to easily port SDL-based emulators/games/etc to the Xbox 360:
[QUOTE]
SDL Library for Xbox 360 Consoles
I've had this code for quite some time but its good enough to release. This code is based off the original libSDLx(info) code I wrote for the Xbox over 6 years ago.
The original DX8 audio/video calls were replaced by DX9 stuff and XAudio2 code to work with the Xbox 360.
This is just the source code to build the libraries. No binaries are included so its 100% legal!
Usage
Archive contains 3 folders:
- libSDLx360 contains main SDL project source code
- SDL_ttf360 is SDL TTF project source code
- SDLTest is a sample project showing a simple test of SDL
Basic SDL functionality is up. Graphics/audio/threads/filesystem/joysticks are all in and working nicely.
TODO
- Lots of optimizations
- Mouse/Keyboard/cdrom code is not written (yet)
- SDL Mixer doesnt exist (yet)
Help
Any source code patches people have will be helpful. Im especially looking into DX9 rendering optimizations and improvements to the software blitter code. Thanks :)

OpenJazz 360
>> LoveMHz of XeLove released OpenJazz360, based off of the OpenJazz project:
[QUOTE]
About:
Jazz Jackrabbit is a platform game produced by Epic MegaGames. The game features six episodes; each episode consists of three worlds, with two levels and a boss level. Jazz has a life bar; when enemies shoot or come in contact with him, he loses health that must be replenished by collecting carrots. If his health falls to zero, Jazz turns to ash and the level restarts from the last checkpoint. Also, instead of jumping on enemies Jazz must shoot his enemies with a blue gun he always carries. A variety of different bullet types can be found in the game and do varying amounts of damage.
Instal:
Run like any other XEX on your 360. The shareware files are included. If you own the full game simply copy the files into the OpenJazz360 folder.

NXE2GOD v1.1
>> Dstruktiv released a new version of NXE2GOD, an application for homebrew 360s that will converts NXE installed games to Games on Demand.
What's new/fixed:
* Fixed bug where some games would potentially not convert properly due to files not being moved to the correct place.
* Minor speed increase.
Notes:
* It's basically a bug fix version but I do recommend updating to it as it should be more reliable and stable.
* For those that do not know NXE2GOD runs on your 360 and will convert any games you've installed with NXE to Games on Demand packages so you no longer need to insert the disk.
* Youtube Video of an older version here
