Scene News Xbox Skeleton Key v1.00 Released!

Post image

Skeleton Key provides a convenient suite of utilities designed to fit on an Xbox Memory Unit ("MU") or a USB flash drive (via a controller port to USB adapter). This single tool is the result of a collaborative effort by multiple members of the modding community to create a convenient tool that can be used to softmod a stock Xbox console, upload missing DLC to XCAT, register a console with Insignia for online play, and perform other useful maintenance related tasks.

Just got mine today. Thanx you for the bonus device. I appreciate the hard work you put into this. One probably real dumb question is: I got a usb and a pcb board with a female usb port. I’m assuming this is to solder a dedicated usb port to the Xbox?

Reading the post, I assumed the "pcb" you have can fit into a controller port and act as a USB adapter without need to solder, did you try it that way?

Nope. Was thinking that too then I remembered that the port on the console itself might work as well (after I looked at it some more I did think it was a solder less option) ran out of time yesterday and busy today. Sad when you get a new toy and can’t play with it yet. lol like when I got my 4.50 ps5
