i assume it would just ignore the XBE files and play the dvd movie.

The Easter Egg exploit idea is good if you can run it just on DVD. It may be damn inconvieniant as a replacement for UDE2, but it has other uses too...

You run the Hulk dash on the DVD, you run the Easter Egg exploit on that dash, you have unsigned code running on your Xbox.  And... the Save Game exploit is dead.. and you can install the UDE on Xboxes with nothing more than a crossover cable and a burnt DVD... Hell, you don't even need a crossover cable... the DVD could have everything you need on... think about it.

I've been looking at that same idea for a bit now. I don't have any dvd+r to throw some tests at the box.. However, I would think the 4034 xbe that would be named 'settings_adoc.xip' would certainly look for the fonts on the root of /c/. I could be wrong - it may check on the disc first since it's where it's being launched from. Anyone else have any thoughts on this before I go buy another box of dvdr?

yeah, buy cheap dvd+r and make sure the booktype is dvd-rom

hey guys, i was thinking/wondering...and hoping someone here knows...

what if XBEIMAGE_MEDIA_TYPE_DVD_X2 is just a XBE_MEDIA_1LAYER_DVDROM or XBE_MEDIA_2LAYER_DVDROM with a special book type....
(in other words, what if an xbox game disc is just a normal 2layer dvd with a special book-type).  i don't think the filesystem (UDF, DVDX, etc. factors into the media flag/check.  am i wrong?

instead of changing the book-type of a DVD+R disc to DVD-ROM, what if you could change the book-type to XBOX-DVD (or whatever it is supposed to be)...

that makes me want to find out where exactly the book-type bits are on a dvd and read them off of an xbox disc. then create a hack that changes the book-type of dvd+r to match...but i don't know how

the Aug 5th, 2003 date the latest kernels use

Has that date been confirmed for sure?

The "about" in rmenhal's original findings (below) is partly why I'm asking this again eh.

If the title ID is 0xFFFE0000 (dash's ID), the kernel then checks the time and date field and anything prior to about Aug 5 2003 causes it to bail out.

nope
I was basing my comments of that quote of rmenhal's you found.

[Kthulu]

ok, that's why i was poking with hulk(xboxdash.xbe).  if any of the xbes on the dvd are font-exploitable, it seems like the scene has more experience crafting exploit-fonts for xboxdash than some hulk demo extracting default.xbe...

[XanTium]

FYI ...

Tried to find some of those DVDs here in europe.

Star Wars Triology also has xbox content on CD 4
The Hulk 2cd edition does not have any xbox content here.
Shrek1 ... could only find the "3D" edition and it has no xbox content.

ah, but xant,

CODE

Allowed game regions                : 0x7FFFFFFF                                    : XBE_REGION_US_CANADA                                    : XBE_REGION_JAPAN                                    : XBE_REGION_ELSEWHERE

threfore, with waht we found in the us hulk disc, we can make a universal boot disk... if we can just find an exploit in that dash...

[anjilslaire]

I have a liteon 411s with bitsetting also, I'll see what I can dig up.
In fact, I just picked up a new spool of 100 Ridata (RICOHJPN)  +Rs from newegg that my box reads very well as -rom.

[EthanHunt_IMF]

For those that are saying that maybe we could EEE (replacing settings_adoc) for this "boot disk".  

My question is how?  

If memory serves, we replace settings_adoc with an older dash that is font exploitable, but until now all dashes are set only with the XBOX_HDD flag.  So my guess is we still can't run anything by replacing the easter egg xbe on the "boot disk" that isn't flagged 1/2LAYER_DVDROM.

[Angerwound]

[Chicken Scratch Boy]

hmm

do you think that maybe it's just a matter of shifting some bits on the fonts? or what...?

[Chicken Scratch Boy]

oh

i'm just theorizing, but if we some how exploited the dvd.xip file, and since it's udf we could maybe put some dvd header stuff with a few "changes"?

or we can have the cd rip itself?

is this dash seceptible to audio exploit, because we may be able to have the naming scheme for the cd info all jacked up in such a way, that when it rips it generates an audio exploit track, which we can use to run our habibi signed code?
