how much did that thing cost?  More than a 360 arcade unit?  As others have mentioned earlier, why would you come to an xbox hacking site, and poo poo a newly released hack?  Perhaps you should find another forum.  

It's not just about how useful the hacked 360 is...it's the fact that it is hacked.  I see alot of people who don't seem to get the idea of hacking.  The idea is to make the device do what you want it to do, regardless of what the makers intended for it.  It's all about the journey, not the destination.

Honestly around a 1000 bucks. Anyway Im not dissing the hack, it just seem like you hate M$ for not opening their device up. I understand the fact that it may be cool, like if you could use as a Linux media center extender, that would be that b!T(H. The problem If you want just one device hooked up to one tv then just spend some money and get a good one. but if we see some serious functionality out of a 200 dollar device then yeah I would be all for it. The only thing is if we never get playing games with live then I have to still spend more money plus I need a M$ hard drive etc... it just makes sense to me to keep my xbox the way it is and keep my kick a computer up to my tv. Still don't let me stop you m it's just im impatient and wouldn't wait for a year to watch some videos etc...

so come on then smarty pants,what do they want it to do then?

 

make a device do what you want it to do,yet all the talk about bigger hdds,iso loaders,custom dashboards.and yet,all this is is just the door opening,to what?noone knows yet you seem to be spokeperson,so enlighten the community.

 

thought not!

 

buy plenty of 360's to replenish your ever depleted stock of hackable 360s (due to error/rrod prone console) is what i will say so you can look and browse the pretty xbmc that will do nothing bar let you browse it or wont offer more than you got on the dash already.

 

enjoy your journey,or should i say enjoy your ego trip before you come back to reality howser!.

 

Well, if XBMC is on there, it will actually do alot more.  Have you ever played an .mkv file on NXE, or even been able to play an .avi if you aren't connected to live?  Being able to play much more media ss pretty sweet if you ask me.  A custom dash would be nice too.  I don't particularly care for NXE and it's avatars.  I'm also a programmer, so being able to write some code and see it do something on the xbox360 appeals to me too.  A larger hdd would be nice too.  Folding@home would be cool too.  A more powerful system to run MAME on as well.  Full distro of linux would be good.  It's a cheap computer with decent power.

I wasn't attacking you, despite what you seem to think.  My point was not everyone can afford an htpc with multiple terabytes of hdd space and many gigs of ram.  XBMC on the 360 is a good substitute.  



I like to program, and like to hack.  This is one more venue for me to enjoy my hobby.  Same goes for alot of people on this forum.   That is the purpose of the forum.

I don't quite get your "enjoy your ego trip" comment.  I wasn't condecending in my post, and I wasn't boasting about my l33t 5k1775.  Just stating this is an xbox hacking site, and you saying the newly released hack is useless is contrary to the idea of hacking.  

To each their own.  I am happy this hack is being released, and look forward to all the great things the xbox community will create.   If you aren't happy/interested in it, that is fine.  But you don't need to come to hacking forum and shit all over a hack being released.

I play avi without cnnecting to Live all the time. What are you talking about? MKV is a ridiculous container that holds the same audio and video as an MP4 file. Why do people use something that has 0 support among extenders is beyond me. I can repack mkv to mp4 in like 5 minutes. With Windows 7 and mce you can repack it to m2ts in a few seconds then playback on the 360.

You still seem to be missing the point, why is it so hard to understand that it doesn't matter if a 360 with homebrew isn't as good as a pc and it doesn't matter what it costs  
All that matters is that its a 360 running homebrew.

[monkeyhands]

Regarding the risk of MS using this "boot block" update, I can confirm that my mates 6 month old, un-tampered with 360 did not survive the update and is RROD.

Still in warranty though

Yes but people spend a lot of time and money doing it.... "just cause". Okay whatever like i said if it was like linux media center edition extender, that would be great. It's like the Wii, it has the ability to do homebrew and all that but most people just use for it for piracy. Anyway Im getting tired of arguing, the reason I and the majority of people comes to an xbox hacking site is for help in playing "backups" be honest with yourself.....
I guess it would be cool to see custom halo 3 maps as well to be honest If this does open up the system to being able to play games off an external hardrive and still playing games on live than F YEAH. I guess going on an ego trip doesn't really help so I hope something good comes out of this even if I have to buy a new 360.

wow every console hacking comunity i am part of all ways complane when some one says thy have some thing and there not releasing till its finshed thy anounsed it cos M$ are now doing some thing bout it if thy hadnt said a thing then free60 would have waited till the explot was 100% working

do all the people on here that are bitching relay want to have some thing released that could fuck up there xbox if thy did that then the people bitching would be the ones bitching that thy released it to early just wait it will be out if you dont want to wait then dont we dont need to hear bout it

and remember thy dont have to do this thy dont have to release it so stop acting as if its your right to get it its not just sit back wait and be thankful that the xbox scene is going to get the kick of its been needing for homebrew

Any1 here downloaded the recent files posted on x-sky?

There's one guy uploading lots of "new hacks" for the x360, including a supposed to be mame360...

free60 has anything to do with that?

Yea, this is the funniest thing, just in the same day that millions of users updated to a new dash, and accordingly with the news, now You are screwed if want to run homebrew things because Your Xbox become "un-exploited" again; millions and thousands of apps are shown!!! Wtf really happened here, why do not inform people one day  in advance "do not update your console because news are coming" ? i really cannot understand, and I read all previous 17 pages to make this post....

At least, weird!!!

Tmbinc said its getting released, why the fuck pay attention to the rest of the people? If it doesn't get released it will be because tmbinc says "No I am not releasing" Instead of a bunch of people just going around saying it. Trust your instincts and choose who to listen to. The guy who has posted indications of how the hack works and what it could acomplish or the group of people that are just sitting back saying it wont work period.

[theevilhacker63]

all the people talking about piracy, you are off topic and have been warned already by the head mods.. either talk about the hack or keep quiet.. no one cares if your here for "backups" this thread is about the upcoming hack to run "homebrew" get it!?  meaning nothing about piracy or backups.. get it through your thick skulls!

and to the people saying they would rather build a pc for all of this.. I say you should leave this site/forum and go find a htpc site and place your completely off topic comments there.

[ToBbErT]

So will this hack be released to the public? I have been hearing so many things i hope someone can get this straight.

[gehx]

I think i just dropped a homebrew in my pants!!   This could b the fu*king shit!!! can't wait

And they were supposed to know that the latest version of the dash kills the ability to use this exploit? Its common sense that you dont update your console immediatly if you are waiting on somthing like this. If you must play live then the lack of hombrew is the cost you have to pay.

Has the 360 XDK been pre'd/leaked? The fact it doesn't seem as widely spread/accessible as the XDK for the original Xbox will probably mean homebrew won't be anywhere as near prolific as it was for the Xbox, it was a case of anyone who had an interest in developing for it could quite easily get a hold of it, I wonder if the 360 XDK will get leaked now there is some incentive to.

Build #6534 is leaked and im very surprised it hasnt ended up on torrent sites by now, i guess the only reason its not is because the amount of poeple that can use it already have it, supply meets demand so if this explit is legit, the demand for the sdk will go up because more people have a use for it, thus eventualy getting more leaked than it already is, as for a newer build well.. i doubt it
