    PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years, users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to the absence of open-source code from the original developer.
    In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD, maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones.
    The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source development.
    Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support.
    Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements.

    Happy 2024! To kick off the new year, a new patchset combining both XL HDD and XL USB patches has been released! They will be included in the next FATXplorer update, but if you are using J-Runner, you can get them now by updating to V3.3.0 r3.
    Ever since the release of the XL patches that raised Xbox 360 storage limits to 16 TB, many have messaged me asking if there is a way to use both patches at the same time. Currently, you must choose either XL USB or XL HDD. Over the past few weeks, I have put the finishing touches on a combined patchset and it's now available in today's J-Runner update (V3.3.0 r3). With this new "XL Both" patchset, you can now use 1 XL internal SATA HDD and 2 XL USBs at the same time, unlocking up to 48 TB in total possible storage!
