BadUpdate 1.3

Temporary homebrew entry point for dashboard 17559, using a supported game and its matching save. The original repository is archived; read its game-specific instructions. A separate homebrew payload is required and the exploit must be run again after reboot.

ABadAvatar · public beta

Alternative dashboard/avatar entry point for a temporary homebrew session. Requires the Avatar update data and an additional XEX payload. Follow the developer’s offline/profile instructions; it is separate from the persistent Peer Pressure softmod.

FreeMyXe 1.2.1 artwork

FreeMyXe 1.2.1

Lightweight BadUpdate payload that applies runtime patches for homebrew, XeLL and LibXenon. The release includes a XeLL build. Use it for the temporary exploit workflow; the developer explicitly rules out NAND-modifying homebrew on this setup.

Alternative BadUpdate payload with kernel/hypervisor patches, CPU/DVD-key display and an in-memory DashLaunch module. It returns to an unmodified state after power-off. Its plugin workflow applies to BadUpdate and must not be applied to Peer Pressure.
