I don't want XBox Live to be cracked, but it would be nice if there was a way to emulate xbl on a diffrent server and do a redirect to the new server. =^.^=
The xbox connect will work with link games but some of the newer games nolonger support this. The idea of a Capcom VS SNK 2 eo lanparty sounds fun.

wtf does that mean?

i'm sorry but if it really was backups that werte being played, i.e god honest 100% unmoddified copies of peoples actually owned original games. then i wouldn't mind at all. but i think this clearly about playing cheap, illegal pirate copies of games! I pay for my live service and i'm happy to pay for games that are great on it, and if when janurary rolls around halo 2 hits the market i don't want to log onto live and find some twat who downloaded the pre release ProjectWhatever Scene release and has being playing on live before me who has waited for the privelidge to play a great game online. If you are that desperate to play backups on the internet use xbconnect at least u can play halo.
sorry for the rant but i hope live never ever gets hacked, i have a 2nd xbox purely for live and every live enable game "except whacked cos it's shit" i bout 80% of them second hand cos i'm by no means full of cash!

Never ever hack live! Boycott any chip that is ever released that allows this.

The problem with playing backups means the xbox is nolonger checking the if the software is valid. If you can play on the real XBLive with a backup, what would show to the service if the item was patched?
Upon all things rember, if it can go wrong it will especialy where trust of a person is involved. For if people were not exploiting trusted systems in ways that agrivate otheres, there would be no e-mail Spam. =^.^=

All of those that are now hoping that they can play 'backup' games on LIVE in the near future, will reconsider once it actually is possible.. Lots of people will begin cheating, and you will never know if that other guy is just really good, or is using cheats to become invincible.

LETS ALL HOPE THAT LIVE NEVER GETS CRACKED.

you seemed confused! have you ever heard of HALO HACK it is basically cheats for halo you CANT use it on XBC of SPY it jst done work that way. YOur right in the sense that it is POSIBLE but not likely

** HOW TO HACK XBOX LIVE **

It can be done, but the moment it is MS will release a new set up updates which will require hacking again.
I suspect the way forward on hacking Xbox live is to use the James Bond - Agent Under Fire save game trick with code to launch an unsigned disk. This would get around the BIOS detection problem. (Dont know if you'd need to mess with the DVD drive to disable reboot on eject or if this code be done in code)
I guess the second problem would be disabling any protection checks being done by the game itself during loads, etc. This could require a lot of work and mean writing your own loader code instead of calling the default one in the BIOS.
Thirdly would be the problem of the game potentially doing CRC checks on the code in memory etc (Perhaps even dynamically via xbox live updates in future protection!)
This is a hell of a lot of work just to get one game working on Xbox live - but possible. The crucial key here is that you are getting rid of the MS BIOS CRC check protection by not altering the BIOS - and it should be relatively easy to track down the calling points in the game itself that need patching. Quite a bit of code to write your own loader methods, but possible!

And for those that want to play so called "backups" on xbox live, why not just use the "original" you paid for?

??

Ehhh....last time I checked....that was the point of making a backup, so you didnt have to use your original!!! Might be wrong though!!
