Not a bad idea but it's not as easy a looking for pins. What you have to look for is a series of SATA commands sent to do the dump. This mod can probably be done for very little $$$$. What if MSFT does not care about the firmware and just flashes a new firmware without even looking? Then the games can check for the new firmware before running. I guess even that can be faked. If the system detects SATA flash upload then it can store that in its eeprom and then when the system requests a SATA firmware dump it can send the one that got uploaded. This will cost a bit more $$ but probably no more than $50 or so.
