QUOTE (Cutriss @ Mar 7 2004, 05:04 AM) The rash of people recently banned that was referred to is a largely unrelated manner. It's mostly been C2/0000 or C2/AFFF errors lately and people just screwing their network settings up. People are *saying* they're banned, but the facts don't actually show that. I think the important thing to look at is this - SmartXX claims to have a method in place to circumvent the ban. However, if MS has had this check in place for a long time, then they'll basically be ready to ban your Xbox at any given time. No SmartXX chip will save your ass, unless you buy it in a brand new box (or refurb, but I digress), or (in theory) switch EEPROMs after installing the chip. And somehow, I don't think there would be enough EEPROMs to go around for all the people needing to switch if the hammer does indeed fall. hmmm this is interesting, i couldnt get my router (dlink 604) to work with xbox live so i flashed it this morning before i powered up my xbox then the modified message came up, apparently this router is xbox live comp but its not working for me my xbox is setup for dhcp

hmm thats weird i had the same problem in the past P-Child it could be dhcp addresses conflicting with others i use a sysLink router im sure if you try turn off everything then turn on your computer first which will take the main ip mask like mine does 192.168.1.100 then turn on your other systems computers etc. xbox mine takes 192.168.1.101 or 102 when the other xbox is on.

Some of these things could happen when you use evox or some other ip addressing program it messes things up i couldnt use my xbox on live for like 4 days one time

My machine is modded with an X2 Lite (the first x2 type) with X2 4981.06 and its got a switch obviously. Got a 120gb samsung drive (sold my original drive to a computer shop)

I'm not planning on buying a new virgin xbox just for live (although I love Live to bits) unless I can get one really cheap (i.e. no pads etc) then I may consider it...

If i do get banned then I'll have to replace my eeprom with one of the countless ones from my workplace and wait and see.

Oh btw you lot reckon M$ will cotton on if I keep subscribing to live under a new eeprom every  few months?

i'm not interested in getting a modified bios to work with live as I read about the hoo-haa that the action replay caused with Live (PGR2's supercar, anyone?)  and I think it would really ruin the great secure setup they've got in place.

We'll have to see...
If worst comes to worst I could put a regular hdd in and lock it then sell it to someone who won't wanna go on live (linux user, no broadband, etc)

So I'll keep you lot posted as to my Xbox Live adventures....

You know, I was going to buy a Smartx chip to replace my OpenXbox chip, but now because of this bullshit that they intentionaly stirred up I'm not going to.  It is obvious what they are trying to do.... OMG!!! Live cane see your larger hard drive (please forget this is old news)... Oh, BTW...SmartXX team is proud to present our new chip which miraculesly hides your larger hard drive!   SmartXX is a joke now.

  hmm no one cares , if M$ bans me for having i bigger HD then fuck them , i will cancel LIVE and play HALO 2 on Lan Parties , but im still going to get a SmartXX just for the ability to Flash the chip on LAN.

not to question your authority...but isn't that one thing we know is checked by live, the bios hash? if you could run a modbios on live you could play backups on live... have I missed huge news or just not understanding you...

I believe you can get around the BIOS hash check in a modbios by replacing the memory containing the BIOS with a retail kernel image just before you launch a XBE. Of course, this would disable some things mod bioses currently support (large hdd support, etc). But it would be possible.

[billy_dimashq]

flashing over lan eh? interesting. btw has anyone had a dodgy xbox program that flashes your bios if it's not protected? i can't be bothered to fit a switch to enable/disable flashing so i'm wondering...

Color me not impressed,

My 10 year old son can code and do alot more shit with his computer then I can ( IT Profenial)  Also can mod ps2 like there was no tomorow.

Kid = Nieave

[SigTom]

Whats an IT Profenial?

[gnostic]

Now I'm no rocket scientist by any means, but I really don't think M$ will ban people for modding their Xbox.  M$ just wants to gather info on people who own an XBOX to see if they have modded it....why you may ask?  Because they are about to remove HD storage altogether and go with flash system memory.  

M$'s cash cow in my opinion is the internal HD.  The ability to design my own apps for my box is a thing of beauty...being able to save 6,000 MP3's to my box is what dreams are made of...M$ knows that people like to Mod their systems...and unlike Sony M$ will embrace this (imho)

I just don't see M$ ever banning paying customers who added a Larger HD...what do they care?  You already bought the system and voided your warranty...plus your paying for one of their services.

anyways...My personnel opinion is you wont see thousands of people getting banned.

QUOTE (Tommy Vercetti @ Mar 8 2004, 01:19 AM) IS it possible that maybe M$ is checking the hard drives on Xbox's to see how much space the average user has used?? Maybe some kind of recon to justify the reason they removed the hard drive from the next xbox console??  Maybe to see if a hard drive is REALLY a good idea or not? Just an idea. You know.. this does make sense. Maybe MS is seeing how many modded Xbox users there are out there, and whether they should, or shouldn't, place a HD in Xbox 2. If there is a HD in Xbox 2, God knows it will be modded just enough as the current Xbox.

yes this is what i was thinkin also if i didnt make it clear enough back in the couple first 5 pages of this thread.M$ could just be doing a search on who acctually uses the hard drive, and should it be put in the xbox 2? if they really think the xbox 2 will even amount to anything they should indeed put a hard drive in it maybe even use some other sort of saving method like a huge memory card where we are able to save all our music, movies, apps etc. they could very well be making the xbox 2 have most of the same things as hacked xboxs may already have just because its what the gamers like!

there are many posible outcomes to there information observing could even be "should we have xbox live work along with the xbox2? or should we not and just have it so you can swap your account over and not even be connected with the past hacking"

and about what Slayer posted
MS really wouldnt mind if they banned a few thousand people im sure if it were to all come down to keeping there services the hack free type of way everyone wants it to be and to be proud of that having people coming over to play on xbox live since its hack free would be the best thing to do.

people on all platforms are experiencing people hacking and there are thousands of complaints to follow as well MS surely has people complainging all day long.

ive played online with dreamcast and from viewing the messege boards at sega.com back in the day i remember people complainging about hackers all the time and the big deal is If they made it so there were no way to gain access to xbox live they could be the only company that has the zero tollerence policy to hacking which is sure to bring crowds of people over

if they can afford to lose money on console sellings im sure they can lose some on xbox live hacked xbox users of somewhat around the thousands maybe about 4000 or less im not even sure how many but its no big deal they gain more people every day.

As to the xbox being able to run a modded bios online xbox live its probably very possible but yeah if someone were to realese that information MS would surely put an end to modchips completely!

[jk009]

now it is time to store your Xbox files on a seprate hard drive on your computer...if possible..but why not with Comfig Magic and FTP your files

[David-63]

well there isnt much i can say that hasnt already been said in these 37 pages...so          but heres something original..... this sucks! lol ...but im sure we will find a way to prevail no matter what M$ does... Where theres a will theres a way..and there is plenty of modders out there who would spend many hours on anything M$ sends their way..
