What the hell, i saw llamma do this along time ago with the same game. These guys could of done the same thing and said it was there own. Heres a video that was posted on December 27, 2006. http://www.youtube.c...p?v=PlT7hfls88E

the llama video is a hotswap. the new video doesnt have any hotswapping.

You might want to watch the videos a little closer next time.

It allows the DVD+R version of the original kiosk disc to be bootable again enabling homebrew Flash dev again.

how do you figure that? it was the media flag on the kiosk xex that allowed it to be booted from dvd-r. this hack fakes the media and authentication so signed xexs(with a media flag for orginal discs) can be booted from dvd-r.

i bet they baned the title id for the the kiosk xex and not just made it bootable from an orginal disc. i doubt this will allow the kiosk disc to boot. my bet is the update allowed certain already signed xexs to be baned. i don't think the kiosk stuff will boot from any media. now or ever again. till a actual modchip comes around.

there are newer kiosk discs that would probably work but i doubt the pi released one will.

What are poeples thoughts regardin xbox live?

Surely, a DVD firmware check will be put in place (probably a cheksum) and you will be banned.

I bet you could connect 2 DVD drives toy uor 360 (one hacked one not) and hacve a switch on it. Interesting...

each drive has a specific to box key....I don't think this would be possible....l

true but you can extract the key from one drive and write it to another and it will work fine. This has been tested by people on the xbox hacker forum and posted about.

i think a better option would be to have 2 flashes for your dvd drive and have them wired in parrellel with some kind of switch. that is if you were to do something along those lines. so you wouldn't have to have another physical drive in your box

[G0t M4xx 21]

Sure it could both drives would just have the same key.

Or, like a modchip, you could have two or more "banks" on a larger size flash chip, and a switch so jump from the orig FW to hte hacked one.

Edit: ahh bluecop beat me to it

Ahh yeah forgot about that point. The idea of having a switch would be very nice.
Errr.. if we had the firmware we could get to working on something like this.. LOL

DON'T RELEASE IT. While MS are pretty dodgy, a hack within 6 months is kinda sad. If its released, it will kill the console and get all these n00bs ruining theres.

Good work getting it done, but don't release it. I don't want to. I've turned good this round I'll only get a chip if it will allow me to play xvid videos in the mce.

The actual kiosk disc is reported still to run, so backups made of it should also run if media check is bypassed.

im not saying the video is fake especlally since it is from a reputable source, but it would be nice to see the counsel and tv at the same time, like either powered off completely, or at the dash, then run the game and have all viewable in the video, that would put the icing on the cake

[downlowfunk]

Well, that is a beatiful thing, theres always a possibility of Camera Trickery.  I feel this is legit, the disc is spinning, and the laser appears to be moving in an orderly fashion.  


All I can say is thank you specialist, for putting a smile on my face, and reinvigorating my appreciation of the Xbox-scene.  I thought, it was going the way of dullsville.  Boring PS3 surveys, and relase information.  

Im more than convinced a software based PC/Mac flash system will be released.  I totaly see a possible clip on firmware chip and external switch like the ones used for solderless PS2 chips, in the works, as well.     Keep on it man,   Order Chip Clip Switch.  attach to USB and flash with questionable code from the usual places.  Attach Clip, Mount switch on outside of case, and play on.   Backups are important, to those with children, those that live in sandy enviroments (IRAQ for instance), and  those that just cant take care of their CD/DVD's.   All my movies sit in their cases on the shelf, while I keep my backups in a book for use.

could easely be 2 360's in the room. Ok, reputable source, but still. And dont care anyway. Som clever peeps just need 2 code it into a pc flash program

People must realize that the ONLY usage for this hack at the moment (and probably for the future) is to boot non-original copies of XBOX 360 games. It WILL NOT allow you to run homebrew (you still have to sign the damn executable to get it to run), it will NOT allow you to run stuff of the hard drive.

This hack only "forces" the dvd drive to keep telling the rest of the console that "Hey im running a game of an original dvd" regardless of wether the disk actually inserted is an original or not. Thus the console assumes that the media the game is written on (which in our case is a DVD-R) is the same as the media specified in the media flag proportion of the executable signature.

I am VERY VERY glad that the specialist did not release this hack (or the XBOX 1 version of it). It would only allow lamers to get pirated copies running and it could possibly allow people to cheat on live by modifying the media files of a game (for instance maps etc) since those files ARE NOT signed (most of the time).

Thus to all of you who keep saying crap about The Specialist, please stfu and go buy yourselves some original games or get some skill in Perfect Dark Zero....

Just wanted to stop by and say congrats on the accoplishment.
