What worries me is that Xecuter said a lot of similar things in the early days of the PSP and then all they ever actually released was a patch for Lumines to make the sound work.


HAHA lol, so true!! Let's hope this time theyre not full of shit! Then kudos and the past is forgotten.

Xecuter doesn't give a lot about the PSP anymore, but the Xbox 360 is absolutely their next victim!

But surely they are already on MS's hit list as it is, as the primary XB1 mod designer, and releasing a patching tool into the public domain to make backups (and only backups) run on a commercial x360, is gonna unleash a shit storm on themselves.

Sounds awesome but i'll let this hack run in the wild for a few months until I use it.

Good to hear Team Xecuter is contributing the new hack to the scene. I was pretty choked that The Specialist and the others didn't want to share. I can understand there reasons and all but to go through all the hype and hoopla just to say they we not going to release it rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks Team Xecuter for at least attempting to make the new hack available to the masses.

PS3 is even more delayed  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)



lol...  Sony will be paying much attention to the firmware on the PS3, not only because of PSP but finding that the specialist was able to do it with the Xbox360.  Great work by the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

On a side note...any improvements in terms of making a 1:1 backup of a Xbox360 game?...or should we just wait for Qwix2 to be released... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've heard people say "but MS$ will just be able to re-flash it with the correct firmware". This might be true, but not if we cut the WRITE trace after we install the new firmware. Put a switch on it, so we can update it when WE want to wink.gif

I dont see how M$ will be able 2 patch the DVD drive using live will it be even possible to do that within the console.  Update the kernel?  how many ppl are going 2 return there xbox lol ohh i was updating & the power went off.  i dont see how backups on live is a bad thing means more ppl with a bigger variety of games means more ppl on there servers meaning more money for M$. Now playing.

Sadly I'm not excited about this, in fact I'm downright disappointed.

Team Xecuter went from being one of my favorites to pretty low in my book with this news info.

It's shitty to say the least. Okay now piracy can be rampant, woo hoo is what I hear coming from their team as well as many other fanboys on these pages. I can appreciate The Specialist and their team not releasing such a hack because they can see the possible backlash. It sucks others though as weilling to take the risk. There is no "unsigned code" or "Linux" curtain for anyone to hide behind on this one, it just screams "come and get me" to MS and paints a big bulls eye on places like X-S when people are excited about piracy in such a grand fashon.

Team Xecuter makes it sound like they're helping to work out some kind of tool/hack to allow you to flash your X360 drive and pirate away. This to me it tempting the beast a little too hard.

Okay now flame on regarding my post, but let's be realistic, when XBL is packed with cheaters and MS is coming after Xbox enthusiant sites for chipping away at their bread and butter don't be shocked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

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.
