As for this stupid Halo 2 crap - trust me. MS isn't gonna do some half-ass job that would make this exploit not work, I know some methods MS will most likely use to kill exploits completely - thus making new ones difficult, even.

was that supposed to make us feel better, or worse?

Hehe, now I get what XBE your talking about.

As for this stupid Halo 2 crap - trust me. MS isn't gonna do some half-ass job that would make this exploit not work, I know some methods MS will most likely use to kill exploits completely - thus making new ones difficult, even.

What everyone seems to be missing with UDE / UDE2 / UXE installed, a "FORCED" update cannot occur. This was dicussed on the star wars thread and a few other ones. When the update.xbe is loaded from a dvd, it calls on the fonts from c:\fonts and then c:\. The hacked fonts will cause the box to halt before beginning any update process. The only way I see them getting passed this is to make a xbe that doesn't rely on these fonts or make a xbe to handle the hacked ones. A self-extracting xbe would most likely get the job done. Extract retail fonts to a temporary cache drive, load them, delete after use. This would be the best / easiest way to screw us.

I hope ms isn't reading this thread smile.gif. Regardless, we will be ready for whatever they want to dish out. That is if all the speculation is true.

Of course if you restore your box to a retail state to play it live, something damaging can happen. As soon as it's released we (angerwound and I) will let you know how safe it is.

As for UXE's release, we are not waiting until after halo 2. Like someone said before (Sorry I can't quote whoever it was, I'm on my pocketpc) the hole is the same one used in UDE 1 and 2. It would be pointless to wait. If UDE turns out to be closed, sadly this will be too.

P.S. The fonts (internal) were created by rmenhal. We are just waiting on the Japan confirmation to release.

I was wondering what all the fuss was about myself, but I figured the more vocal folks probably had some merit.

All I was trying to do was stop people from begging that the hack gets released after Halo 2.

And devz3ro, trust me MS does read these forums. But, unless they incorporate some very stringent things a hotswap will make exploits live on guaranteed.

Then a hack of the Halo XBE's and no more update problems.

No Live! but its a crappy service anyhow.

I seriously doubt that they'd start formatting drives or any of that crap, as I said before, Xbox 1 is nearing the end of its time.  Xenon is their focus now.  Besides, they'd probably be worse off if they did do anything to try and stuff up H2 on modded xboxes since they would lose sales.

If M$ is smart enough, they will realise that even if they do release it to do anything in particular, we will find a solution, and hear no more about it.  Might not be so good for live users but we've always got xlink tongue.gif

Only provoking thought....

What if M$ on the other hand did exactly the opposite of what the majority thought is.

What if they in turn slightly encouraged, condoned, or overlooked modding so the consumer would purchase their gamming system over a competior’s?

Just a different angle of viewing it.

each xbox is made at loss, so the less games sold... the more in the hole they are.

Anyway.....

Back to the point of this topic, has anyone had any luck with this and if so which kernel and which fonts did you use. I'm about to give it a go on a PAL 1.0 (oldskool), just wanted any advice. : )

Cheers

Can we stop talking so much about how these exploits are going to end and let this one at least start. I couldn't give a damn about Halo2, or M$ for that matter.

It takes new (or at least modified) fonts, afaik, and as far as devz3ro implied.

Hmmm, well I'll just have to try out the ones I have and the extra font's from the UDE thread. I'll let people know but it does seem a waste of time if someone has the fonts working already. All good fun I spose.

Universal XBE Exploit may be a better expansion – All XBOX versions, All regions! – but "Über" sounded cooler

The UXE does need new fonts.  They've been developed and are undergoing testing.  Test results received are largely positive.  Some mixed feedback from NTSC-J testers - but NTSC-J has always been flaky with all previous exploits too.  The distribution will be on xbins in the very near future.
