fuck me these forums used to be handy and all i get now is posts on top of posts in shite threads that have titles that will never work...

for fuks sake SWAP DOES NOT WORK AND IS POINTLESSLY RESTRICTED EVEN IF IT DID WORK

close this shit  

Oh no Crosseye is back...

This stuff is shit,what we really need to do is burn that modified raw sector leadout to autenticate it as an original,if your original was scratched and it only came to the menu or a video then swapping would benefit you but its crap besides that

c ya:)

I remember in the old days before pbl and the days where pbl wouldn't work on a 5530 or higher kernel we needed to sign our xbe's manually to work with the exploit. in that situation we needed to sign all xbe's on the disc to ensure not to get an error 21 after loading the 2nd xbe. I remember it specifically using topspin giving me a hard time with errors 21. (and I'm quite sure the mediaflags were allready patched in the xbe's)

It would also seem more logical to me that after checking the first xbe media flag it would set that to an 'authentication bit' since the other xbe's are on the same disc and rechecking the others seem quite useless.

Yes,: the media flag of all xbe's had to be changed to allow booting of 'none xbox dvd media', so these patched xbe's would also require a new (habibi) signature. But as you'll understand, my point was that that 'DISC authentication' check (to see if the disc in the drive is an 'authentic' xbox dvd) is only executed ONCE, at disc insertion.
So, to make it clear:
1. disc is inserted, xbox does a check on the disc to see if it is an 'authentic' xbox dvd and set the 'authentication bit' accordingly.
2. Once an xbe is started, the kernel will check its media flag and see if it is allowed to boot, according to the 'authentication' bit.

Ahh ok I see we understand eachother now. I was bit confused by your former post. The signature needs to be valid on every xbe but the disc media check is only performed once. Yup still sounds logical.
