Digiex Updated to XenForo 2.3

If you are reading this then you are viewing the newly upgraded Digiex, so please excuse any bugs and website inconsistencies.

Nimrod and I have upgraded the software that powers Digiex (XenForo) to version 2.3, this is a big change, so we have some theme and template issues to sort out over the coming days.

Digiex now totally runs from Docker containers, rather than a single dedicated virtual machine. This will give us a lot more flexibility on how we host Digiex moving forward.

Thank you for your understanding!

Xbox One Hacked Over 12 Years After Launch

  • 4,509

The security on the Xbox One has finally fallen, over 12 years after the consoles was released! Markus Gaasedelen, known as Doom in the Xbox Scene has presented a bootrom hack at RE//verse 2026.

This hack gives total control over the Xbox One at the highest level, from when the Xbox boots, in addition this is totally unpatchable by Microsoft. This hack is similar to the RGH hack on the Xbox 360, where the console is been glitched as it boots, enabling unsigned code to be run.

The hour long presentation from RE//verse 2026 has now been uploaded to YouTube:


A demonstration of the hack can be seen around 46:48 in the above presentation, its certainly worth watching the whole presentation however to appreciate the insane levels of security Microsoft implemented on the Xbox One. The Xbox One is the only console I can think of that was never hacked while it was the current generation console.

Hopefully we will eventually...

XBMC 4.0 Released (Kodi For The Original Xbox)

  • 7,256

You have probably heard of Kodi, the popular open source home theatre software. What you might not know is that Kodi started out life as a homebrew application for the original Xbox. Back then Kodi was known as XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and was only available for the Xbox. At the time it was an incredible useful way to play Divx / Xvid video on the TV, as we didn't have other devices in our living rooms that could play such a variety of media.

Eventually XBMC was ported to Windows, OSX and Linux, with support for the Xbox been dropped. However XBMC4Xbox continued supporting the Xbox, so today we have modern Kodi running on 64MB of RAM and Pentium 3 CPU. quite incredible when you think about it!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and III Free on Xbox & PC

  • 10,641

Currently you can purchase Modern Warfare II (2022) and III (2023) at no cost on the Xbox store, as the games are a play anywhere games, you can also play them both on the PC.

Given even the Xbox 360 Call of Duty games are still sold for £25 / $30 we are not sure if this is a mistake or not. Either way if you are interested I'd claim them sooner rather than later.

Update: Most of the game actually remains locked with only the "DMZ beta" content available to play, so keep that in mind before downloading.

Pokemon Gen 1 UK Mew Archived

  • 8,950
  • 1

Its not an every day an event Pokemon distributed over 25 years ago can be backed up and archived, however today is a rare day when that happens!

Reddit user Neocaridina discovered he still had a UK Gen 1 event Mew distributed at the Bluewater Shopping Center in Kent, England back in the year 2000.

Gen 1 and 2 event Pokemon are living on borrowed time, as the Pokemon game cartridges have an internal battery which keep's the save, once this battery runs out the save is unfortunately lost. So its a great win for Pokemon Event preservation that another Gen 1 event Pokemon could be backed up and not lost forever.

Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy - Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube and PS2 Code Execution Exploit

  • 16,802
  • 0

Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy is a game save / network remote code exploit released by Grimdoomer on Github that can be used to hack several different game consoles including the Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and GameCube.

Its certainly fascinating the same game can be used to hack four different games consoles, in addition to exploiting the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game over the network. Essentially allowing you to softmod these consoles by playing a system link game with an emulator running on a PC, removing the need of having some way to get an exploitable save game on to these consoles to exploit them.

Another rather interesting thing is this is the is the first exploit ever that will allow you to run unsigned code on the Xbox 360 without even having to open the console... if you are on a update 4548 anyway...

Xbox Kernel Code Execution In SystemOS POC Exploit Released

  • 21,794
  • 4

As posted in the Xbox One Research Wiki Kernel level code execution is possible on Xbox Consoles via the Game Script UWP App.

At the moment things are in their infancy, however given the Xbox One is over a decade old it this point its exciting to have a kernel exploit for the modern Xbox family of consoles that could lead to some good things in the near future.

This exploit is compatible with the Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, all Xbox consoles after the Xbox 360 share the same OS.

This will likely be patched in the next system update for Xbox consoles, so if you are interested in messing about with the Xbox you should prepare your console ASAP.

As posted by Xbox One Research to prepare, do the...

Original Xbox Content Archival

Content archival and preservation is ever so important in the digital world we live in today.

Digiex member @Harcroft realised this a long time ago, back before it was really a topic many gave much thought to.

Thanks to Harcroft, AmyGrrl, 500amps and others who have contributed DLC for the original Xbox, Harcroft has been able to create and maintain a vast library of Offline Xbox Live Downloadable Content Installers, in addition to Offline Xbox Live Arcade Game Installers for the original Xbox. This project has been hosted on Digiex since 2008, however has been active far longer than that to give you some idea how long Harcroft and Co have been working on archiving content for.

These DLC installer have now come in to their own with the release of...

Custom Event Distributions For Past Pokemon Games Released

It's always great to have something new relating to Pokemon events to post about.

Digiex member @piplupness has spent a lot of time creating custom event distributions for all Pokemon Generation 4 events which were released yesterday.

These custom event distributions will allow past events to be distributed over WiFi from another Nintendo DS to their respective games, meaning you can distribute any past events to Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver, without having to dump your save game and use PKHeX. Very convenient for people who do not wish to save edit or use the custom DNS services.

View the release thread: Distribution ROMs for every Generation IV Event to learn more.

Digiex member @PurpleOrange also spent over 8 months creating custom event distributions for all Pokemon...
