Custom linux system "x360key", which will soon allow you to play all your Xbox 360 (and Xbox 1) games from any USB device, has now partnered with Maximus 360 Lizard.
So, what does this mean? It means that the x360key will soon be able to extra the unique key from all Xbox 360 drives as well as many other extra features which will no doubt soon be unveiled.
Read on for the complete press release:
We are very pleased to announce that x360key has licensed the key extraction technology used in Maximus Lizard. This means that x360key will be able to extract the unique key from all Xbox 360 drives; Samsung, Hitachi, Benq, Liteon, and Slim Liteon - including the latest 0225 model.
Xbox 360 DVD Drive firmware flashing is *NOT* required to use x360key. However, this is a feature that may be added in a future x360key firmware update.
Shipments of the xkey360 are expected to ship to distributors in mid-July. For further info on x360key please browse our previous coverage here.
It looks like it won't be long until we see the first shipments of the new 360 Lizard all-in-one hardware flashing solution for Xbox 360 homebrew. Shipments will start early next week.
The 360 Lizard device is in its last stage of completion, we have the production completed and all materials have been received. We are currently setting up the inital firmware and testing every unit to ensure the end user receives a top quality item. The reseller shipments will start early next week.
We also are proud to announce a major break-through, The NO-CUT/NO-SOLDER solution for (phat) lite-ons is here and built into the 360lizard device. This is the real deal, NO CUTS, NO SOLDER, NO GLUE-SCAM, this is a complete and tested solution, we will be posting full details really soon. (you know the copycat and mouse game) is why we will not give details until resellers have stock.
This feature will require an extra accesory that will interact with the 360Lizard , please contact your reseller to find out their plan on providing this tool. Since the accessory was not originally part of the standard 360Lizard kit some resellers may or may not include it while others will charge an additional fee for the add-on tool.
Thank you for your patience, we apologize for all the delays. Many thanks to the people who chose to support us.
Thanks to all people involved on this project, such as the research team, factory, the production team amd the many helpers we had to assit in the setup and testing. This is been a very long week spending several hours to ensure you get a perfectly working 360Lizard.
360lizard have delayed the release of the 360 Lizard due to case manufacturing and another feature they are implementing.
Just to confirm we are forced to move the release date to first week of February, the main reasons of this delay are the case manufacturing and also another feature we are implementing to be available at launch. More information on this feature will be published in a few days. This small lizard is getting more tech.
We want to say thank you to every pre-order owner, we can ensure you will be happy with the final unit features, thanks for the patience. We will post pictures of the accessory set that we will include on every preordered unit in a couple of days. Also pictures of the assembled boards will be available by next week.
