Bah, this just means the web is now going to be flooded with 360 iso’s. Gimme a way to run unsigned code from the 360’s hard drive and then we’ll talk.

Homebrew = Good, Piracy = Bad

Yeah, it is never good when piracy beats homebrew.

This certainly could put a kink in any legitimate uses of this software.

Well, here’s an opportunity for a softmod: Do any of the 360 games load a ‘demo’ xbx? Preferably without checking the signature first?

homebrew better start catching up!

You guys post ONE hack a day and THIS is what you cover? You’ve gotta be kidding me.. This shit is on hundreds of sites already.. Total cheese.

He’d be remiss if he didn’t cover this, use your head.

To bad the new firmware wil only play
Original Xbox 360
Original xbox 1 (If suported)
copy of xbox 360 (NO MOD posible)
copy of xbox1 (If suported No mod posible)

So its only for Piracy or education into firmware hacks….

Hope they come with a firnware that wil NOT check the magic security sectors

Pirate gateway or not, I think it’s definitely a jumping point for future modifications.

@netdroid9 not that I know of, but it might be worth looking at one of those OXM demo discs.

Well, if piracy means making backups of your games so your Xbox 360 doesn’t scratch the originals, as it’s been known to do, then yes, it’s only good for piracy.

Do you think it will come to a point where we will be able to run Windows and it’s games on the X360. Also how do you check what type of drive you have Toshiba / Samsung?

Posted at 5:55 pm on May 16th, 2006 by emuwii

I agree with moogle, my 360 has scratched my games so backups of MY OWN GAMES would be cool!
I will wait for the update on live and check the web to see if it still works.

^Difference in drives without disassembling the 360

I have performed this hack and can confirm its working, it wasn’t “easy” by any means.

I never understood the hype of Xbox 360, it’s a god damn pc running old hardware that has more security and anti-piracy barriers than fort knox. Put your money into a nice vid card for your pc and get a usb controller attachement, its cheaper and more fun.

lurch are you the one posting graw patched on alt.binaries.games.xbox360?
if so please fix rar.001

I want to know if there is a tutorial for the samsung firmware hack if anyone knows please post the link thanks.

binxalot,

Recently it’s seemed like PC game have lost their variety, which I have always thought was their best feature. Also name ten games that actually support a usb controller

i think the industry needs to wisen up and let us have access to everything, without ripping us off.
