Episode description

The PS5 gets a bit of love this episode of ModChat, this time around for stock consoles it seems that owners are wanting to integrate into their Home Assistant workflow! The legendary 1.4 GHz CPU upgrade for the original Xbox comes closer to being publicly known with open sourced CPU interposer boards being released. We have not one, but TWO different types of PSP unbricker news! The first one being a new take on the Baryon Sweeper hardware, but ported over to a RP2040 microcontroller. The second one being a tease from Davee's upcoming unbricker software which will successfully install the latest official firmware on any PSP you can get into Service Mode. Meaning it will work for the old Pandora's Battery configurations and newer Baryon Sweeper implementations! Microsoft's block on third party controllers and accessories on the Xbox platform might have been successfully bypassed thanks to some clever tinkering and using an official controller as a donor or relay of sorts. Finally, ever wanted the font from the Xbox 360 Blades Dashboard on newer Dashboards? Well now that's made a bit easier thanks to a post and release covering how to do so!
