Gamesave Exploit Possibly Compatible With Xbox 360
« on: July 22, 2005, 02:09:00 PM »
The Register revealed today some new details about the Xbox 360.

QUOTE
MS plans to make its console backwards compatible with current Xbox games; however, if your favourite title is an obscure one that failed to make the best-seller lists, it will be far down the priority list for MS. Stephen McGill, head of Xbox marketing, revealed that the company was planning to make the best-selling Xbox games - of which he claimed there are hundreds - compatible with the console, and work backwards down the list. He admitted, however, that there may be some Xbox games that simply won't work with the Xbox 360.


But think about it: since all 3 current savegame exploitable games have been converted to platinium hits (007 Agent Under Fire, Splinter Cell and MechAssault), those games will continue to work on the 360. And since those exploits doesn't occurs with a bug from the Xbox but directly from the game DVD code (correct me if I'm wrong), unless MS makes a very specific filter for those game within the 360's hardware, the same gamesave exploits might probably still continue to work on it.

If this is true, softmods will still continue to work on the 360. Although the permanent softmod probably won't be the same as today, some other hacker-made XBE like EvoX might continue to work, so it sure already opens the possibility of softmods on the 360s.

For now on we can only hope and wait 'till the 360 comes out, but we should get our memory cards ready when this day will come!  :)

I sincerely doubt MS will allow previous Gamesave exploits to run. They have already corrected the games that allow the exploits, they are going to make corrections on Xbox360 too.

Even if it did work the you would have to redo the whole softmod and start from scratch and the font pakages wouldn't work etc. and it probaly has some way that you can't load bios only the MS ones.

The plausible feasibility of this prospect makes me tremendously giddy.
