Pedro, hopefully people will pay attention when you say it. I said the same thing on page 2. Didn't seem to get through to joop.

| Making a dvd backup changes nothing about the media flag. The MS signature isn't valid on a copy. If it was, we woudn't need a chip or alternate bios. The hacked bios loads the xbe irregardless of the signature. |
If I understand your post correctly, you are saying that copying an xbe automatically invalidates the signature. This is not true.
Media flag in the header designates what type of media the xbe can be run from. When you make a game backup, you are taking an xbe that's signed for "XBE_MEDIA_XBOX_DVD" and putting it on a media type that the xbe is not authorized to be executed from. It's not that the signature isn't valid.
