X360Key have officially released a new video showing x360Key hardware running Halo Reach with the new AP25 data on a X360 Slim with the Spring Update installed.

x360key - Play all your Xbox 360 games from any USB Drive

x360Key is a new custom linux system which will soon allow you to play all your Xbox 360 (and Xbox 1) games from any USB device. The team developing X360key are in the final development stage, and after due testing the product is set for an early July release.


How it works:
x360Key consists of 2 parts, a motherboard and a remote. The motherboard connects to the SATA bus inside the Xbox 360, and sits between the drive and the Xbox 360 motherboard. x360key is a full-fledged computer system running embedded Linux.

x360key is capable of many things such as:
  • Emulating the Xbox 360 DVD drive
  • Reading USB hard drives and other USB media with various file systems
  • Updating itself and other hardware from USB media
  • Communicating with the remote and other external USB devices
  • And a lot more! (embedded Web server and Wifi connectivity for example)
The remote is a simple yet stylish piece of hardware that features an OLED display and 3 buttons. It connects to the x360key motherboard via a high speed USB2 connection. It also has USB for connecting USB hard drives and other devices. The OLED and buttons are used to control various aspects of x360key. It is also used for browsing attached USB media devices and launching games.

Work in progress:
  • Loading games from NFS and Samba shares (Requires WiFi dongle (sold separately))
  • Xbox Live support
  • Backup original Xbox 360 games to USB hard drive
