This isn't something I've talked about before, but did you know that Stellar Plus has an integrated speaker?

Good UX doesn't end at a pretty UI. πŸ˜‰

Honestly, it's hard to call this work a job when it's so much fun. 😎

Something about having real HTTPS/SSL working on the original Xbox just hits different πŸ”₯

This is part of the revamped Stellar firmware 2.x.x update system.

And with Stellar Plus, updates now work entirely over Wi-Fi. No Ethernet required.

To keep moving forward, I’ll be skipping the 1.9.x series entirely and focusing on Project Stellar firmware 2.0.0, which should be released later this year.

It has taken others years to copy what Stellar has already achieved, and I won’t slow down just to give them the chance to catch up.

Innovation in software and hardware is what I do best and that’s what I’ll keep doing.

But rather than writing up a part three about recent events or wasting months building complex DRM, I’m choosing to put my energy where it matters most: developing Project Stellar.

I will not be broken, and I will continue to do what I love.

The theft from Project Stellar and XboxHD+ is no longer being hidden. At this point, I no longer believe anything is off-limits from being taken.

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, I spent the weekend creating a patch for Bug! and Bug Too! to run on modern Windows

Bug!er Up fixes Windows 11 compatibility; adds support for XInput controllers, removes the CD-ROM requirement and allows custom soundtracks.

Is that using LVGL?

Hi Stephen. I'm not sure why your email wasn't in our inbox, but I've found it and will address it first thing in the morning.

I've got all my parts laid out now. πŸ˜ƒ

What I love most about Stellar RGB is how modular everything is.

All responses on that thread currently require moderation.

We're in communication now, though.

Can you provide the complete statement instead so that it can it be addressed?

Clearing up the confusion Hey everyone. There’s been a lot of confusion lately, and I want to clear the air as best I can. I’ll try to keep this post short and focused on the core issues. The Blog Post The reason any of this i...

The issue related to HDMI mods stems from Nemesis. This is not related to the OXHD.

I'm not here to engage in a strawman argument. Our protected works will be removed.

If you care about accountability in the retro community, consider sharing this. Silence only helps those who take without consequence.

This will probably be my last comment on the matter for a while. The issue around the theft of our code remains unresolved and unaddressed. At this point, it’s a legal matter to sort out. Saying more only fuels harassment and misinformation.

05.07.2025 22:45 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

To be clear, we're not trying to go after anyone who isn't knowingly and directly involved in the theft of our work.

The issues we've raised are real. Parts of our code and work were taken without permission. These issues are still unresolved and have yet to be addressed.

Thank you to the owner of the OGXbox forums for handling this situation professionally.

Retro Games I'm Selling- Neronium Hello everyone. Here is a list of all the games that I am planning on selling either directly to people through BlueSky, or eventually on eBay. I will be listing each section with pictures to show the...

The Doc is here. I only added the main games right now, but I'll add some more stuff later as this was very time consuming for the pictures. Prices are negotiable within reason. Also, shipping is free, unless using a specific carrier
