| Last month some long planned hardware upgrades were completed. Everything's faster now though the database still gets sluggish during peak hours, so more work's needed there. More storage was also planned but the astronomical prices of SSDs have put that on hold. There's empty bays waiting for their return. Over in the Xbox Vault all xiso files have been rebuilt using the xdvdfs library. This should fix errors in many games that extract-xiso couldn't process correctly. |
| Editing is now live in The Manual Project. Missed a page? Got something out of order? Just browse to a manual you've submitted and a new "Edit" option loads the manual editor right where you left off. (You must be logged in) Over in The Vault, screen shots of the Xbox 360 Digital Vault are now complete for all working Xbox Live Arcade titles. |
| Now introducing the Xbox 360 Digital Vault! In November 2005 the Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games launched for the Xbox 360, offering downloadable games and addons/DLC available exclusively online. Arcade games are playable with Xenia Canary, now in the Emulation Lair, though Indie Games aren't supported yet. Screen shots of all working Arcade titles will be added over the coming weeks. The Indie Games marketplace closed in October 2017 followed by the Arcade in July 2024, leaving no official way to get these games. |
