Aren't you the one that invented softmodding? Give proper respect as you'd want others to have the same for you.

I hope that's sarcasm. No single person really "invented" softmodding persay, but you can probably credit xbox-linux for almost all of the early findings. Krayzie is definitely "the man" as far as current softmods go, however, I've never seen him demand respect out of anyone, although he deserves it.

I agree with krayzie; Xecuter's approach to this isn't necessarily original, but they might end up with the first public release of the firmware hack, which would be fantastic publicity for the most part. Imagine the hits on their site once the Xecuter name is slapped all over this hack - exponential growth of new visitors. At any rate, sure, Xecuter didn't invent it, but they're making the move.

It's just like current modchip makers... many of them didn't have a thing to do with the creation of the first Xbox chip, but they've created much easier to use and stable solutions. I'm all for having more than one group in on this same thing.

Exactly my point!! OBVIOUSLY Xecuter is only going to do things that help PROMOTE xbox modding, not hinder, so WTF. Let everyone do their thing.

And the really funny thing is I guarantee every person saying they are against the release of this hack and piracy, once it is released boots up a backup and streams some illegally download music.

Who cares what people do in there own world?
What matters is as Xombe has already mentioned not to tar XS posts with the same brush.
Breaking the Law whatever...coming on here and spouting how wonderful it is and how everyone does it is just stupid. If you feel the need to announce it to the world then don't use XS as a vehicle.
Strange how many members with usually very little to say suddenly develop loud voices when the chance of having some games for nothing comes up.

ATTENTION !!!

For those kiddies that dont agree with MODCHIPS and HACKING please be advised that you are in the WRONG SECTION .

It sounds totally stupid to a person that doesnt agree with MODCHIPS and HACKING to get into a FORUM like this great forum and especially getting into a section called XBOX 360 HACKING and saying that he doesnt agree... Excuse my ignorance but why are you reading these posts ? and why did you get into this section ?

I totally agree in the right for democratic discussion but I then think its stupid to enter into a section which you dont agree with to try and PERSUADE people not to do this and that ...

If its wrong for you then DONT enter into this section and read the legit sections and leave others that are in this section and like it to read what they like.

I have been in the SATELLITE SCENE for a long time.... Had my own european forums....Had Canal Plus prosecute against me in court.... SO WHAT ...its is what I love and like as a hobby and NOBODY can ever tell me WHAT TO DO except GOD.

Good work THE SPECIALIST and TEAM ....

AMEN

Well, keep in mind that it is clearly a mistake to say that this is changing Xecuter! Total 'bullshit', all those bios replacements can run illegal games, all those fucks crying are lame.... Xecuter is doing this since 2002, and they still do the same they did.

bowser22 · « **Reply #110 on:** March 21, 2006, 03:51:00 AM »

Its going to be released sooner or later wether you like it or not,atleast let Xecuter do it because they know how to do it!

I dont get why Firmware hack = piracy.... What if you back up your own store bought 360 games (keep in mind 360 games are $60.00 a piece) and use the firmware legitimately? I would say this firmware hack protects your 60 friggin dollar game investments, seeing they are easily scratched and damaged.

and so what if you cant run homebrew... does that = piracy?? NO! so how can everyone assume that??? Anyone who assumes that is speaking for themself!

bowser22 · « **Reply #112 on:** March 21, 2006, 04:05:00 AM »

This hack is not just for piracy it could be used to find an exploit in a game that will lead to better things and used to prtect all your games

Fact is, over here you are allowed to make a backup of your music, games, whatever. Perfectly legal.
BUT, in order to use the backup you will first have to circumvent a protection measure which is not legal.

The law is a funny thing ..

O.K I have a question.. After reading the last three pages, will this hack work on the new versions of the xbox360? I mean, the specialist released the news of his hack like a week or two ago right? So would MS already create a 'fix' for the fw hack and have it on the shelves or would MS wait a little while before they create the 'fix' so that they can use the us to find the other security breaches before they build another 'impossible to hack system'?

Would it be possible to (once the fw hack was out of course) use the hack if I never went online with it? Would I be able to go out to walmart and buy a xbox360 then use the fw hack once it was released?

Thanxs for any info,
mstandlee

Anyone

?

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

A hack is available and do-able (or done-able). We say we are going to help as i'm tired of thousands of emails every day asking us to lol. It's all free and no profiting. We get hundreds of thousands of hits a week on the website anyway so promotion isn't required - we are Xecuter thats the promotion right there.

We have been bored and went back to real life jobs and didn't really bother too much with the 360 as first analysis showed it was way too much work with probably no good results. Now this comes to light - it's no work of our own and we don't claim it to be but if we can help make it better / easier / more accessible - why not ?

We also agree with the fact that it's not good for live - live on the 360 is awesome - that needs looking at also.

Flamers and bitchers need to stfu

ROFLMAO

Your telling Krayzie to remember what Xecuter did for the community ?!?!?
This Guy saved me £30 everytime I used his Softmod Package for FREE, instead of having to pay for a Modchip.

using bios hacks we released for free

who do you think did most of that work ?

you all benefited wether you bought a mod or not.

Rodstorm · « **Reply #119 on:** March 21, 2006, 05:31:00 AM »

Not being a techy sort of person I'am a bit out of my league here but is it possible to create a boot disc like the Dreamcast originally had using this new information?
Taking the rom drive out, flashing it and then replacing it might work but sounds like a pain in the arse to do.
As for the piracy issue no one will ever be able to write the perfect reply to both sides of the argument so why dont we just agree to disagree and let it go and move on?
