a dvd dongle is quite a bit cheaper then a memory card, and AR (or alternative) and an exploit able game, iirc...

yeah finding an exploitable compy of MA can be a bitch nowadays too...

I'm wondering whether exploiting ContentMeta or {Title|Save}{Meta|Image} .xbx's might be possible (and have done a few searches but didn't find it's not) eh?

Potentially for Hulk (or SWBF?) there may even be a way to include all required files on the disc ... the .xbx filename section of xboxdash.xbe (5680's at least) references \Device\Cdrom0 too eh!

(Alternatively/additionally a MU would likely be necessary initially, to "join the club" eh.)

i think the XDK recovery disks can be burned to ANY dvd or cd (according to the certificate) and be put on the hdd. it is also for every region...

now the exploit...

on the disk
3 bin files... 1 file is 1mb (bios), 1 file is 59,510 bytes, 1 file is 195,388,034 bytes
1 dll, a bitmap and a true type font

possible exploits...?

Okay, first off I really have to apologize for not reading the whole thread. It's twenty pages and, at the expense of my eyesight, I really did read as much as I could. Anyway, I had an idea for an use of this disc. I don't really think this'll work, but I would like to know why it won't.

Conjecture: The Hulk default.xbe could be used to boot backups/modded games (Halo, etc.)

Assumptions:
1) default.xbe launches the Hulk Gamedemo menu with choice to "watch DVD"
2) when you select "watch dvd", default.xbe calls d:/xboxdash/xboxdash.xbe
3) the default.xbe can be workably burned onto dvd+/-r media (booktype change)
along with other files not related to the hulkdvd? (games, etc)

I think that's right. So could we either:

1) swap out xboxdash.xbe with either a renamed default.xbe from a dvd-signed game, or one of the hacked MS demo menus?
OR
2) hexedit hulk's default.xbe to point to a different .xbe?

The possible obstacles to this (that I can see):
* For method 1, renaming a game's default.xbe may render the game/demomenu unplayable. (demomenus may be okay, I dunno)
* Also, for method 1, original games may be signed for a different media than what is on (or can be run) from the hulk disc. Can't remember off the top of my head.
* I don't really think method 2 would have any chance of working, since I believe hexediting the hulk default.xbe would leave it unsigned. We couldn't resign it, could we?

You couldnt resign it without the MS key\

Sorry in advance if I sound like an idiot.

But, can't we get a game (say halo) and burn it in Booktype DVD-ROM, what would the xbox do just goto and error screen? original xbox game arn't pressed as DVD-ROM are they?

anyways,
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Oh and a while back I was talking to some guy at work about modchips (This was before I got mine) and he said something about using a DVD +/- Codec and not needing a modchip.

I didn't really trust him, but do to the recent events he might not have been lying. Does any one know how to use a +/- Codec or is that the same as booktype?

If I knew what it is/does I'd call him and ask him, unless he's fully on crap! :angry: Still seems kinda fake.

Sorry, if this has all ready been explained or something.

Thanks in advance! :lol: (I sure hope he wasn't lying, but then again)

Game xbe's are all signed for Xbox-DVD.. There is a different media type entirely for DVD-ROM..

Kthulu · « **Reply #269 on:** October 24, 2004, 08:01:00 PM »

are there any versions of CDX that are signed and flagged for DVD-ROM media?

if so, there might be some enormous potential here. i know that menus can be created for cdx that copy saved-games over to the hdd. IIRC, it can also add wma files to the xbox soundtracks. if it does, i doubt it brings up the ms keyboard for the use to name the track...perhaps the audio exploit code could be inserted into the st.db this way...i doubt it, but worth looking into...maybe???

the idea is to fashion a dvd+r disc that boots CDX. the menu of CDX would allow the user to copy a game-save or audio track over to the hdd. it would also allow the user to launch the hulk demo. the hulk demo would allow the user to launch the 5680 dash...something along those lines.

for that matter, if there were a DVD-ROM flagged version of CDX, perhaps it has some sort of font vulnerability...

just some desperate imaginings...
