why are some of you guys acting like dual layer dvds are made of fucking diamonds? theyre not that expensive anymore.. my god

If you really think this is going to mess with M$'s bread and butter, you must really be slow. This is M$. You know they were probbly following this board and all the others right now to create a patch that blocks this hole before we even get it off the ground. It's just not worth all the hassle. Like someone else said, your better off with a cheap modchip, that way you can load homebrew or anything.

And to the guy that said DL disc are expensive, you must be on drugs

Sure they aren't are expensive as they used to be but the average person isn't going to spend money to pretty much waste half a dvd when they can just burn the same game on a dvd-+r, which cost WAY LESS. If you have the money to waste then good for you but the average person is looking to SAVE money, not waste it.

it doesnt only run 1 backup it will run every backup but the backup will have to be patched.
on page 1 and onward he is talking about the first release that didnt work but about a week ago he released a new fw which TS checked and then he congratulated him for a good job i think your a troll.

right, I've just had every subsequent poster acknowledge that TS wasn't the must humble about it, and I'm the troll.

Fact is, just because TS didn't think it was posible at first, he belittled the guy's accomplishment. And not only that, after realizing it was indeed done, he's gotten RATHER rude with other posters asking how to do things. Saying things like "you're too stupid to understand it."

Also, several of his remarks (as noted) were edited and/or toned down. So, why don't you acknowledge the truth before you start flames because TS's character ain't the best out there.

At any rate, it was just meant to point out his (lack of) character. This thread should be about the creator of this firmware, even if its a bit buggy its a great release. TS should be left out of this for the most part.

Yes, please leave that TS guy out of this conversation! People really need to take their work to a new website other than xboxhacker.net. As far as I'm concerned that 360 FW hack is total BS until their is something with proof released(no not a video). Anyway, I wouldn't expect this to do much if anything for the 360 and if it does the people at xboxhacker.net and their wierd ethics I'm sure will not allow them to release it or it will be screwed up in some sorta way so most of us never see it. Or sites like these that post every little friggen detail for the MS spies(yes we know you're here you little douche bags) will have a patch before it even gets a release.

The 360 hack is real, technical details can back it up. The video is NOT the proof. That was simply an auxilary means of "proving" it some people -- though in the end it may have caused more doubt that it was real tahn if they just noted the technical details like they have because some people just serve to ignore those details and concentrate on the fact that "oh, the video can be faked, hahaha you lam0rs"

I think you might be missing the point.. You'd probably do this to play on LIVE..

How many Xbox live games are there? 50?

50x50 = $2,500
50x5 = $250

That's probably why you'd do it..

Are you people missing something? You need the original disk for this to work so what is the point?

What's the point? Believe it or not, hackers don't do their thing just so you can play 'backups' of games that you do not own.

@commodore - nice work, can't wait to bust the 360 open and start playing!

Dude, The point is you can back up your games so that the originals don't get scratched etc. Also, when renting games from Blockbuster, less law abiding induviduales could find a use for it as well. It is also likely that the torrent sites will soon have pre-packed iso files to make this all quite simple for the average guy.

Is it possible to flash a Samsung SD-616 with this firmware? Since it's able to use the original Samsung firmware, wouldn't it be able to use this firmware too?

feflicker · « **Reply #53 on:** April 26, 2006, 12:24:00 PM »

I can't believe how many people didn't even READ THE ARTICLE! (RTFA)

1) What good is it?: You can play backups on an Xbox without a modchip. All you have to do is update the firmware on your DVD drive. (No $)

2) Do you need original disc?: Only to back it up. After that you don't need it. I am sure there will be "firmware hack-ready" ISO's floating around soon, so you won't need squat when it is all said and done.

3) Why would you do this instead of using a chip? Because you can play on XBOX LIVE with a backup!

4) Why did they do this in the first place? To show that it can be done, and to prepare for the xbox 360 hack. (Maybe they are testing MS$ to see how they attack the f/w hack on the original Xbox, to get knowledge before releasing the 360 hack?)

5) You are ruining live wah wah wah: Who cares, get over it. This does not enable cheating, it just enables people who haven't paid for a game to potentially play it on live. WHO CARES.

6) Dual Layer discs are not THAT expensive: You can get them for less than $2 at most places now. Most live games are still in the $30-40 dollar range, so yeah, that is significant.

Yes. T and F models

So anyways, gonna give this a try... got the FW and in the process of ripping the GAME ... when its done, I'll pull the SS and see if I can figure out where to put it.... an app for figuring out the offset and where to place the ss would be great ---> hell if it inserted it too, then it would be cake

Anyways, I don't have the knowledge to construct one, but this is all relatively easy if you CAN READ

Kudos to all who made this possible

I have contacted Bungie regarding the release of this hack, and hopefully they will be able to do something to protect the integrity of the Live service in Halo 2 (or what's left of it).

Commodore4Eva say it should work for Samsung SDG-605B/616T/616F, but what about the 605, without the 'b'?

Mine is a SDG-605 marked BG68-00490A (serial?) rev0.0.

the drives are not actually marked with what revision they are.. mine says SDG-605 too.. xbmc can identify the revision as can your pc when you hook it up
