That's too bad, I hope he reconsiders or I hope somebody else finds this and releases the firmware.

@infinityfsp2002, you have 4 posts and you're yelling at us saying we are the uninformed?  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing that is signed (and therefore checked) is the xbe.  The data files are not signed and can be changed.  That's the entire reason why there was so much Halo 2 cheating.  Nobody ever changed the xbe file, they hacked the .map files.    It would be the same in this case, because the .map file could be edited, signed, and put back on the disc.  People are(were) doing this with the Xbox 360 Kiosk disc.  They couldn't change much (couldn't change the XEX, but they could swap out video files and even shader graphics in King Kong.  I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

This is nice indeed  just what are you talking abouth live ?? you still need dna from org disc to play on live right ?

[JUANVAN]

Fist off if you are already online, you can't replace the drive b/c its married or what ever to everything.

Drive + HD + MOBO ~ Live - correct?

2nd they might beable to find the hack in the firmware pending on how its done. They would most likely have to release a new dashboard to do it.

I do Belive releaseing this would be in the Worst thing to happen to LIVE since modding started.. I would like to see it for all those ppl who want to play the games... b/c ya know thats just how it is but.. b/c of the live impact I do not like the Idea.

I hope this is real and is released soon, I have the drive he used and I hate worrying if my softmod is gonna screw up on me again Can't wait to try this out

Maybe because conspiring to bypass consumer copyright controls could land someone in jail for a good portion of their life?

[Knocks]

Online hacking may in fact be possible.  Only the xbe needs to be signed, but textures, maps, etc can be modified.  Provided that the modified content doesn't crash the original xbe, you could cheat online and more.  Of course that wouldn't stop MS from detecting highly unusual behavior online and banning those users.

It may even be possible to use a signed xbe (like CDX) as a launcher for unsigned xbes.  That might allow you to bypass the media flag--although I will have to double check on that one.

Ok, Guy come on..
"I have done the greatest achivment that everyone has been trying to do for years"...

NExt day< " Yeah I did it, but Im not gonna tell anyone how or what to use"

Conclusion, Lying.
I understand the guy has done a lot for the scene, but this is total bullshit.
Dont you think its just a little worng to come on and say  I did it,  then say  Im a  wuss and dont want to release the info on how to because it MIGHT not be legal? and modding your xbox is?

What would have happened if the first mod chippers had done this?
What would happen if the people who found the first exploits decided to keep it to themselves?

What a waste of time.

NOw, if this is for real, hes gonna be the only one with a few of his friends playing back up games on xbox live, but wont let anyone else do it because its wrong??

hipocrite?

this really pisses me off,  I have been in this scene for almost 3 years. I still have my 1.0 xbox from the day it was launched...
But now, those of us who have been waiting for something like this forever, arent allowed to know because your worried if its legal or not?
Wouldnt it be done anonomysly? duh?

You talk the talk, but all your doing is pulling stuff out of your ass.
Looks to me like the whole 360 modchip thing again.

"I got it to work"....
1 day later " I think I got it to work"..

3 days later.." I got it to work pefect, but Im not gonna tell you all because it might have bad consequesnces.
Get over yourself.
Some of is dont have the money to spend $50-$60 on games because we have families,  and since the only implication this could be used for is playing backup games.... I mean... What was the point in releaseing that you did it, then say nevermind, I cant tell you how.
duh?

I love how your worried about the legality, when opening up your xbox and putting ina  chip is just as bad if not worse.
Get over yourself

[pholly]

I smell bullsh1t too, anybody can post something like this and later say "I'm not gonna release it because I'm a puss". If he did actually pull this off, he should have kept it to himself instead of getting people's hopes up and then just not releasing anything. I'm not sure if he visits these boards, but if he does F U Specialist. He's a liar or a punk bitch, either way he's a loser.

[AfterTheInsanity]

It all looks great, and he seems to be a well known person, but to say 'it might be illegal so Im not going to release it' has me thinking he's lying. Look at xbins. It has the LG firmware and the Sammy firmware on it does it not? Why does he not simply get ahold of them and have his firmware patcher hosted there aswell. Untill I see some proof, a *GOOD* video, or some source code, I dont believe it.

Im somewhat glad he isnt going to release a firmwire patcher cuz he would fuck over the m$ with xbox. This would lead to nothing but pirated games and then you could play on live as well with a back-up. Only thing i hope to see from this is the 360 firmware hacked and beable to load unsigned code through some hack.

A. We are pretty sure that xbox live should be able to detect a new firmware and thus not run on live


B. I am pretty sure it hasn't been released for 1 of 2 reasons. 1. Fake 2. He got paid off by a mod chip company. When your making tons of money off of mod chips and someone is releasing a free alternative then your willing to share a few bucks in order to stay in buisness. I think that is why he talked about "not accepting money or hardware" for what he did. He got bribed. Hell if i had a nice new computer wagging in front of my face I know I would cave aswell

[slipstream]

I agree with his decision to not release it. I read it and though, 'oh, so people can just copy and play now' and brought back fond memories of the Dreamcast, which DID die from being able to make backups to easily.
   And for those of you who complain that he is not releasing it, and comparing it to mod chips legal-wise, chips have the benefit of being able to run homebrew, while this doesnt, which means it can ONLY be used for piracy/backups.

I thought the same thing initially as well, it had to be a lie.  But if it was me I sure as shit wouldn't publicly release something like that.  Look at what's happening to the creaters of many of the P2P file sharing programs, I can't imagine that MS's reaction would differ much from that of the RIAA.  Get over yourself, so some one doesn't want to put his ass on the line so you can pirate games and play them on live.  If it's such a big deal to you, you figure it out.

Either way this is total b.s. It may have just been a way for xboxhacker.n*t to get some traffic since xs owns the scene
