I got cozy and wrote some homebrew for Xbox-Scene's Modfest 2025!

This is a simple app that lets you set your Xbox 360's clock past 2025. I learned a lot and even documented a couple SMC commands on Free60 wiki.

Get it on ConsoleMods or the Homebrew Store!

A screenshot of the Time Fixer app. It's white text on a black background with the text:

Time Fixer

DPAD Left/Right or LB/RB to choose field
DPAD Up/Down or LT/RT to change time
Press (A) to save the chosen time
Press (B) to reboot
Reboot is required for change to take effect.

Ah, I don't have Facebook so that could be it. Was wondering how you modded it so fast 😅

I don't see this model in either crtdatabase or consolemods. Might be a good addition given it looks easier to RGB mod than the JVC monitors!

I made a new MediaWiki extension to strip out GPS coordinates from uploaded images. There were a good ~450 images across ConsoleMods and psdevwiki with zero support to purge it.

One of these days I'm going to turn into a crotchety old Wikipedia admin.
