XeXLoader reminds us of Xbox glory days

The newest version of XeXLoader boasts a pretty slick GUI. This is a homebrew loader for the Xbox 360. Don’t get your hopes up, it requires an older kernel and you’re not getting on Xbox Live if you do this hack.
But think back to when the original Xbox was first hacked. Watching the XeXLoader (after the break) sends us back to the days of EvolutionX. Sure there wasn’t much that could be done in those early days (other than pirate games), but that slowly changed with the hard work of a lot of developers. XBMC came out of those first steps and became the greatest media software ever to grace your television. The GUI work here may be more beginning steps in another great community-driven legacy.
It is great these loaders are available these days, unfortunately not all dashboards/kernels are vulnerable. It would be REALLY great if they found a new vulnerability in the newer kernels. This would mean anyone with an x360 can play homebrew, which isn’t the case just yet.
Way to go to the coders of XeXloader, thats for sure.
