Well, it is Dec 26th, so I can unravel the secret!
Here's how you must "use" this Xmas gift!
It is secretly a new ESR launcher.

Keep in mind that it is a Proof of Concept and might have some bugs.
Anyway, it works as an alternative to the ESR GUI, now with support for r9c and r10f.

r9c supports "Disable ESR after first IOP reset", "Use Synchronous Mode" and "Spoof Media Type"
r10f supports "Disable ESR after first IOP reset" only (even if you can select the other options)

To use it, just paste the "DIRECT" versions of ESR r9c and r10f at:
"mc0:/APPS/esr-r9c.elf"
"mc0:/APPS/esr-r10f.elf"

The DIRECT versions of ESR can be downloaded here:

And here's the Xmas gift (you can run it from mass, hdd or mc, the folder or device does not matter):
http://www.hwc.nat.cu/ps2-vault/hwc-projects/xebplus/merry_xmas_2021.rar

So... how to trigger the Easter Egg?
It is quite simple!
1 - Launch the "MERRY_XMAS_2021.ELF" file and you will see this screen:

2- Now, input this code:
:dir up: :dir up: :dir down: :dir down: :dir left: :dir right: :dir left: :dir right: :but x: :but cir: :but start:
3- A new menu will appear where you can select which settings to use:

Once again: this is a Proof of Concept and might have some bugs.
This will be entirely implemented in XtremeEliteBoot+
Happy holidays!

PS: Let me know if you discover the secret and ask any questions you want if you have any doubts on how to use the secret.
 
Anyway, if no one discovers the easter egg here by the 26th, I will update the OP, explaining how to trigger it and how to use it.

And I said "here" because in certain Discord server some people already found it.
 
I've made a "silent update" today.
Now it is compatible with ROMVER v1.50 consoles and older...
Download the file again if it failed to run in your console
