Insignia Live EA Support, ABadAvatar & SSDs on Xbox 360, BadWDSD DEX Progress on PS3 - ModChat 137

Tons of scenes heating up this month as the weather cools down! We discuss a new update to the modified original Xbox backwards compatibility files for the Xbox 360, now with individual games being able to be configured with additional fixes. Insignia Live gives us an awesome progress update regarding support for EA titles and a bit about the Xbox 360 side of house. Speaking of the Xbox 360, we get two major pieces of news! One being the release of ABadAvatar, a new entrypoint for Bad Update that no longer requires any game to load it. SSD support is now available for all consoles, including totally stock retail systems! Anyone wanting to know about BadWDSD gets a taste of what the developers have been cooking up in the background for the last few months. The PS5 gets a bit of love with Kstuff being updated to work up to 9.60, with more to come it seems! The Switch has a few projects highlighted for it, along with the Pokémon mini handheld of all things, and an awesome preservation accomplishment has been achieved for the arcade build of Soul Calibur 2!
