Wasabi X360 y X360S, emula el lector y carga juegos de Xbox 360 y Xbox 1 desde el disco duro

Nos acaban de informar vía mail del próximo lanzamiento de Wasabi X360 y X360S, un dispositivo que permite emular el lector de Xbox 360, de tal forma que podremos cargar juegos desde un disco duro externo.
Básicamente ofrece las mismas funcionalidades del ya conocido X360 Key, así que la competencia está servida y ahora solo falta saber de las calidades de ambos y precios de este nuevo Wasabi X360.
Características del producto:

• Instalación sin necesidad de soldar
• Selección de juegos en formato ISO desde una interfaz intuitiva
• Soporte para juegos con protección AP25
• Interfaz ESATA en lugar de USB con lo que la trasferencia entre el disco duro ESATA y la consola es de gran velocidad, en ocasiones incluso mayor que si leyera desde un juego en DVD original
• Diseño elegante y en sintonía con el de la propia consola
• Versiones disponibles para consolas FAT y Slim
• Soporte para sistema de ficheros NTFS
• Potente CPU integrada
• Actualizaciones de firmware regulares y gratuítas para su descarga
• Hardware totalmente actualizable (MCU y FPGA’s) desde disco ESATA, incluyendo un modo de recuperación seguro
• No requiere la modificación del lector
• Incluye un modo de selección que permite indicarle a la consola que vuelva a leer del lector

Características futuras:

• Compatibilidad con Xbox Live
• Volcado a disco duro en formato ISO desde nuestros juegos originales

Según nos comentan en el mail, el producto podría estar disponible a lo largo de este mes.
No nos queda claro si cuando hablan de cargar desde disco duro se refieren al propio de la consola o desde uno externo o incluso desde ambos. Os mantendremos informados.

 Wasabi X360 et Wasabi X360S : un premier concurrent au X360Key

Il fallait s'en douter, les premiers clones et autres concurrents au x360key vont voir le jour, mais il est important d'attendre avant de se retourner vers ces derniers.

Wasabi X360S Xbox 360 Slim HDD Loader

The Wasabi X360S is an Xbox 360 Slim HDD Loader and the third to hit the market. The design of the Wasabi X360S looks similar to how the Blaster CK3 connected to consoles and overall looks like it will be a nice integration with the Xbox 360 Slim consoles. While these have only just been announced and their basic feature set we have at the bottom of this page the Wasabi X360 y X360S looks like it will be a decent product for the Xbox 360 Slim owners out there. The price is not 100% confirmed as yet but it looks like it will be around the same price as the x360key, once we have confirmed price and secured some stock we will start taking pre-orders. At this stage we have not been given information on the Wasabi X360S release date, but as soon as we get this information we will of course write it up.

Team Wasabi are most famous for their Wasabi DX chip for Wii, for those that know their Wii stuff like we do here at modsupplier.com you will know that the Wasabi DX in the end was one of if not the best Wii chips just behind the Wode, while not as popular as the DriveKey the Wasabi team certainly held their own and produced updates as needed and overall was a quality product, we are sure the same thing will be able to be said for the Wasabi X360S and they basic features that have already been announced make it look like it will follow in the footsteps of their former products.

There are two mostly interesting things about the Wasabi X360S, the first is the fact they have dropped USB and are using an e-Sata connection instead, the reason we have been given is that there is so much more bandwidth available with e-sata compared to USB and thus will end up in faster loading times. We guess this can go two ways, some people will love it because of the load times with e-sata and others won’t like it as much as it limits the range of storage devices that can be used with the Wasabi X360S Xbox 360 Slim USB HDD Loader, in the end we guess the market will decide which it prefers. The second interesting feature is they too are saying with a future firmware update they are planning to implement a ripping feature as well, this would be one of the most sort after features as it means people don’t have to mess around with the PC and Kreon drives to make legitimate backups of their original games to use with the Wasabi X360S, so we will be very interested to see who is first to implement this feature to their loader devices.

At this stage there has been no news to exactly which of the Xbox 360 Slim drives the Wasabi X360S will be able to emulate, we would imagine the Lite-On’s will be first supported but we are just guessing at this stage, as for the Hitachi this may take a little longer as even other teams have not implemented support for this drive just yet.
When any more news or features are announced for the Wasabi X360S we will of course continue to update this page.
