I can confirm the #badupdate exploit on the #xbox360 works well after a bit of weekend tinkering!

Playing certain games on actual hardware, such as the leaked GoldenEye 007 prototype or long since delisted Marble Blast Ultra, is a surreal experience I didn’t expect to be having this week.

I’d definitely recommend checking this out if you have an Xbox 360 lying around, along with a large capacity USB drive and a healthy dose of patience.

A still frame from an advanced level from Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360. This was one of my favorite games on the system back in the day, so I was crushed when I lost access to my original Xbox Live account along with a license for this game which was delisted in 2011. Marble Blast Ultra has since been released on Windows as an unofficial adaptation, but something about playing it how I originally experienced it just feels right
