What I was trying to say there was that this is a technical forum, meant to discuss things of a "Technical" nature.

Um, you might want to read the topic.... You're in a thread to discuss a news item... Not a technical discussion forum. People will post what they please.

Hmmm, I don't recall putting myself in the "Pirate Kid" category... do u chief? I never told you what my morals are or ain't as you so eloquently put it. Please don't make assumptions as to my point of the fence on this argument. What I was trying to say there was that this is a technical forum, meant to discuss things of a "Technical" nature. Not whether you think its right or wrong to use the FW hack. Also, as for this site being pro-piracy info board....What do you think was the major content on this board before all these homebrew apps came out? Oh thats right, you weren't a member yet. Well let me inform you. IT WAS INFO. ON HOW TO COPY GAMES AND HACK THE BOX... BTW what forum rules was I not abiding by? None? Exactly, so why are you being such a major tool and trying to come out with an attack on me?

Ok well excuse me if I placed you in a certain category or not. I was just trying to make a general statement. On the one side we have like the guys talking on how they dislike this hack and stuff and on the other side we have the guys talkin on how they are wrong and everybody has the right to download everything they want resulting in an endless useless battle which as you noticed contains no technical info whatsoever.
What everybody seems to forget though is that we do have rules in here and people not always live up to that with their statements. I'm not saying I am against this hack (If I was not interested I wouldn't even be here) but people are so caught up in their arguments wether piracy is morally right or wrong (mostly neglecting the forums rules) it makes it hard to get any real discsussions going.

Why dont we just stop discussing whether this should/should not be released or whether this is/isn't a good thing. The firmware is. It will be released.

If you are against it you won't use it, why would it affect you if another person does? It won't.

Now on with the technical discussions

Well.. If its released, dont u think it wont last long? They make games only playable with the normal firmware, double checks etc. Like what was goin on with psp. GTA for example. Or are we one up on them? And the Hitachi drive is an advantage it seems for now. Glad I have one

That my friend is the exact point I was trying to get across.

It might not last long, but a newer hacked version of the firmware might appear

Hacked firmware released
-MS makes users update consoles/MS makes games check for firmware
New Hacked firmware which fakes firmware check released
etc. etc.
-MS brings out Xbox360 v1.1
New methods to hack the Xbox360 will have to be found.

I think..

Once again! Team Xecuter steps up to the plate and delivers the goods! Even though it's just info atm everyone knows their top quality and don't make statements without coming through. I would never mess with any of this stuff unless I knew it came from a reliable source and looks like I get my wish.

Exciting news indeed!!

I was worried MS will force all games to run an executable that would indiscriminitely flash your drive with its original firmware (regardless of whether it thinks its original or not), then I thought this would be difficult since the drive would be in use?

Although I imagine they could render the whole unit inoperable until you reflash with the original.

Maybe the ideal would be a chip soldiered onto the drive with a switch that lets you swap firmwares anytime.

ms cant flash the drive everytime a game boots. theres a limit to how many times these chips can be flashed you know

Sooooo.....

Apparantly Team Xecuter promotes piracy. Didn't know they were a bunch of low-life people like that.
They know, as well as everyone else here, 1/20 people will use the hack for the sole purpose of backing up games they themselves own.

BTW Xecuter, I will laugh, like rofl type laugh, when MS sues everyone of your asses.

Have a nice life.

Please everyone read this post and take note.
Nobody gives a rats what you do or don't do that breaks the law. The sole purpose of all the warnings given in this thread is to stop people advocating piracy on XS. No one cares if you are a pirate or not just DO NOT bring the argument over it into here.
This is indeed General Technical Hacking and it also says at the Head of the forum Hard Moderated.
Most of the Mods are spending time clearing up the shit out of this thread.
I for one will close every post in here from now that starts discussion on "everyone pirates" etc
It will only end one way the thread may get locked .
As twistedsymphony stated one of the possibilities in this is being able to replace the DVD drive if it packs in and that would surely be good news to many.
Lets keep the discussion from this point focused on the section heading .
Thanks

OK, ive just read through 12 pages of absoluty nothing.. No news or nothing.. Just some flame war.. Why dont people just wait a day or two and see what happens. Xecuter or someone else will release something soon if its possible, in the mean time wait and stop the somewhat silly posts that ppl have to read

meerdorf · « **Reply #147 on:** March 21, 2006, 03:38:00 PM »

Hopefully this won't be released in 11 days

April 1st is a bugger of a day and I hate it! Anyhows, this has made compelling reading and like the above post is pure speculation. We have aload of pages on speculation and now my head hurts, but I will carry it on! As for xbox Live, on our pc's alot of us have copied games and we still pay to play online games (via serial codes etc) could this then be the way Live will go? You pay your membership for live but can only play online with a unique serial on a game. I read this somewhere on the scene and thought the same? By the way, I don't doubt that this will be released anyday soon... but waiting is so hard but we will all have to find something else to do! Just don't date a release in 11 days!!!

SHIT, you got a point. What if all this is an April Fools joke...

A firmware hack for the sole purpose of playing copies of games on your console has ONE use, piracy.

That is a very one sided, narrow minded assumption.

No, it serves 2 purposes, backing up games you own, and loading games you dont. Your harping on one point. Yes, it will probably be used greatly with one purpose in mind, and that is to pirate games. But that DOES NOT negate the fact that there is another purpose for it.
