You've obviously never played on the 'alternate' networks. Game play is completely fucked up by some idiots who cheat on their data files and you really think that these guys won't show up on live ?
This guy is a lot smarter than you, he realizes that this hack will only do harm to live ...

If I see a game that I like, I'm happy to pay its price and support the people who developed it and worked hard for it. And now this Commodore moron fucks up everything ... People that worked hard to develop games, won't get their money any more and live will be fucked up. Thanks again, moron.

I really hope MS will send out a strong signal to the community and put this guy away for the rest of his pathetic life ...

One more thing: I think it is absolutely incredible that this hack was just released, this long after launch. You would think the DVD Drive security would be the first thing attacked... I guess the history of modding for the Xbox has to do with it (other hacks just happened to come first, making people focus attention elsewhere).

Indeed.  The existing XBOX1 mod-chips/hacks/exploits were driven by a wish to run Linux, followed by homebrew.  Running 1:1 game backups was of no interest to those pioneers.

Unfortunatly in the real world its almost useless. It requires a lot of work on the ISO side to get working and needs a DVD9 even if the game is only DVD 5 size.

I forsee an update to dvd2xbox, that'll do it all and simply drop a DVD9 or DVD5 ISO on the XBOX1 HDD complete with SS injected   .  (I've heard that efforts are afoot to patch the FW to seek for the SS within the DVD5 region when DVD5s are present   )  Maybe the XBOX1s will simply become backup devices for X360 games.

Don't be pissed at the hackers for this

Why the hell would we be pissed at the hackers for this?

In all likelyhood if they found this hack before the X360 was made and it became prevelant this would be FIXED in the X360, much like the other methods we have for hacking the Xbox1 have been fixed. Accordingly, we'd be completely sunk on playing backups if this came out earlier. Why be pissed?

I know I said I wouldn't address you again, but OMFG...why stop there? GIVE HIM THE DEATH PENALTY.

Apparently M$ makes its own laws now.

Nah, if anything, the code for this f/w hack will just be improved. He left one major hole in it, as well as the obvious DVD9 only requirement that nobody likes, and TS has proven can be fixed. I'd like to see the hole fixed more than the DVD9 though, even though I have no plans on using it, lol.

i love the fact we can "all" play live with this hack.

Remember Dmitry Sklyarov ?

Lol, I do remember him, I remember the whole "Free Dmitry" stuff.

At any rate, he was let off within 6-months. Charges were dropped because he was arrestd for something that was legal in his juristiction (Russia).

I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but seems to me he just annoucned he was coming over here and the FBI nabbed him ILLEGALLY. Believe it or not the FBI does do illegal things to

Also, he was willfully admiting who he was the whole time becausue he didnt think it was illegal to do (and it wasnt). Nobody even can confirm the identity of this commodore guy.

Because their hack had a legal purpose: allowing other OS-es to run on the XBOX. This firmware hack however will be declared illegal by ANY judge ...

You're lucky your not a woman (and so am I my fiance would kill me), because I jsut can't resist you.  

At any rate, I dont think project x does a single thing except release their "backup" games to the whole world. I don't see them releasing much software/hardware, if any.

Maybe they just want to have a bunch of alternatives to downlaod their backups when they are way from their PC? Beats me

Wow it works great!  Cant wait for the 360 release!

Well just to let everyone know that MS has already created an update for the xbox 360 to prevent this firmware hack,they are going to wait until its wide spread then force an update,as MS can flash almost any chip thru xbox live.
And if you dont believe me just wait and see.

do you have any source for this magic update, or are you citing the xbl update in games like elder scrolls?

though, i wouldn't be surprised if new machines are being changed to fix this.

When they talk about the "xbox360 dvd firmware hack"
they talk about the hitachi dvd firmware? or they talk about the samsung xbox360 dvd firmware?
because if this firmware hack only works on hitachi then im screwed .. my xbox360 has a samsung one.

why are you being a selfish retard for?

at any rate, at some point all the drives will probably have full support. i doubt they're that different.

I was playing COD 2 two nights ago on Live (on the 360), and there was one player flying around. It was like he was in spectator mode but we could see him. He was taking everyone out. Bullets went right through him. He ended up with about 1/3 of his team's kills and it didn't bother me too much. I just went after the rest of his team.  One guy called him a f***in hacker at the end in the score page, and he just chuckled.
Anyway, does anyone have any legit ideas or theories if this is a product of a firmware hack? Just ignorant and curious.
