Wish I knew what exactly the 007 boot hack was...

EDIT: Sounds interesting, I give credit to those who are going to test it. But, it won't support upgraded HDs so thats one problem.

EDIT 2: Can BoXplorer even fit on the memory card? How will you tell EvolutionX where it is? On the Xbox HD? And what about playing backups? You can only fit like 1-2 games on the stock Xbox HD (which is required for this trick). If you press eject at the EvolutionX screen, the system will reboot!

See, this is the problem now. This MAY work and it will completely open the door to HD info checks and scans from MS

I gather this won't work because the AUF exploit only allows you to launch one XBE, ie. boxplorer. Any subsequent launches are checked for signatures and will not launch.

But perhaps if you could convince AUF to launch a game directly, rather than boxplorer?

Thats what i was thinking... if someone could release say a 'forwarder' save that would simply point to the game...this could get big!

its only lets us play games not do anything else

why should damn freeloaders be allowed on service that others pay for. and it'll only ead to hacked version of games and pirate copies being played. support the developers. it doesn't hurt ms as much if u get "backups " on live as u still need to pay a subscription. but this is really bad for developers.

anyway it won't as said earlier on, you cannot run subsequent executables without checks

[chilin_dude]

I think this Will end up prevailing and backups will be playable on live...then MS will simply resign the fact backups can be played on live, however they will check each default.xbe to ensure it is the correct one and not a hacked one to stop cheating!

I'm definitely in the same boat as some other people -- i really hope it doesn't work.  C'mon guys... you complain how there aren't enough good games for the xbox.

Why does everything have to be free?  XBox Live is a service... pay for it.  If a game is good... pay for it.  Developers work very hard, and with your help, they may just decide that the gamecube is a safer bet,  then you can continue to whine about too few good games.  

Consider a hack like this as a direct attack against the entire xbox scene.  XBox live is the only saving grace for legit xbox devers -- they can use it to guarantee legit purchases.  Don't screw that up...  

If there aren't that many good games, then what's so hard about buying 1 or two in order to play online?  jeez... get a job

To continue with thoughts, my thought about this 007 EvolutionX exploit is that it great news. It will open the doors to other possiblities with an unmodded Xbox. Let people fool around it all they want. I have no compliants.

BUT, I do not want this to turn into let's use backups on Live and cheat. That will piss me off and I hope (and I know) MS will stop that from happening.

[PillMonster]

Yes its possible. I had come to this conclusion months ago (before I get flamed - at least give me credit and search through my posts).
In theory (at least) it should be possible to load any game and run it on live. Although fortunately I believe it will be too much hassle for your average punter to figure out.
Would have prefered to have seen Xbox live a 100% cheat/backup free area - buffer overruns sure are a pain the ass!

I mean, the PS2 is creaming the competition and people have been hacking that and playing backups for much longer.

Expect Everquest. But, who plays that game anyways on PS2?

[Bootlegger]

Here's hoping you get banned.  


Mod chips would taint the fuck out of online play.

How quickly shana changes his tune. Backups will be playable on Live, it's just a matter of time. I think cheating is lame and personally have never tried it with a PC game. You still have to pay for the Xbox Live subscription which won't exactly be cheap after this term runs out. But I'd like to stop having to use the crappy stock dvd rom and load backups of my games to play online, as well as continue to use my other mods.

i find my "stock" dvd rom loads all my original games fine. u wanna play on live buy the game. runour is that anyone who does find a way to use the 007 hack to play backups will be ravaged by m$ lawyers straight away, as no doubt it will use m$ code.

i love live play, and i don't wan't freeloaders pissing on my games
