How would you see this? A dashboard in where live functions are enabled is still not possible in a modded xboxdash.xbe setup (at least to my knowledge). Or am I missing something here. Would be cool though if we got it to work.

How about attempting a 'FUCKMS'ed retail dashboard that has the fonts location edited to a seperate folder.. Or possibly the xonlinedash.xbe with teh same setup.. This would allow one to jump back to one of these dashes and return the kernel. Therefore, retail console using a modified version of the retail dashboard.. I myself haven't attempted any of this so if anyone wants to risk it.. Feel free.

an thing thing just came up in my mind:
what if we rewrite the whole Live! libaries? (just theoretical)
and import it into the xbe(s)?
so instead that the Live! libary checks the xbe it just returns an correct value?!?
thesame for kernel?

yeah thought about that too but wouldn't you get banned for the modified dash you log in with? You might not need to edit the font path to run xonlinedash.xbe though if you use it with the uxe fonts. You do need to edit the C:\xboxdash.xbe certificate check however. Still it would be a modified xbe that logs into live but yeah who knows.

If someone has the balls, it's worth attempting a FUCKMS'ed retail dash and signing into live
Simply run the xbe through FUCKMs, and place it to launch instead of NKPatcher, PBL etc.. Once you see it booting you should be back at your retail kernel and the xbe should be running. Attempt a live console login and report back...

I did have my own bit of fun though. (600 mph cars in PGR2 Live was quite interesting)

haha that was fun.. bit of a correction tho.. pgr2 cars topped out at 527mph before the game started skipping and locking up and doing funky stuff

  Very True...

No Offence Taken... I truly thought I'd recieve lots of criticizm about this post.

It wasn't criticism, believe me. I just don't want to see MS filing lawsuits against anyone, or any other negative consequences for sceners.

This program was written by me. I gave MS the heads up about it, provided them with source code, and worked with their team to develop a fix. I don't see where I am crossing any borders by unveiling a flaw in their system that existed long ago.   Especially, when it'd stil be wide open if I never made contact.

LOL Pedro.. You of all people know what would of happened to XBOX Live if this had ever truly been leaked.  

Either way... It's still fun to bring the fellow softmodders 'into the know' about it now.  

PS: Had to lookup your British Slang on google to find out what exactly you were calling me! HAHA

Yeah, well... I guess I see your point. I posted because it looked as though some of the others could see a way to make something similar to this work again. I'm sorry that I spoke, it was ill-considered of me.

I guess I figured that you'd get in trouble of some kind if a new variation on this was created. It was intended in a friendly way, not as a rude or unpleasant comment.

Why?
"You" developed it.  "You" distributed your files.  If not they wouldn't be out there like you said they were.  "You" informed M$??  I doubt they'd entertain more than accepting your sourcecode unless of course you're actually one of their dev's (in which case you would lose your job for this.)  Why totally fuck over ppl who are doing EXACTLY what you did with these xbe's. Seriously, M$ would fix it without your intervention if it was to grow to the situations you didn't want, yet participated in.
I attempted the exact same thing as I said, but if I was successful I wouldn't have been fucking stupid enough to distribute them, and even if I got drunk one night and uploaded them all over the internet I'd accept the fact that the game may as well be over for me, and stop using them myself to avoid an eventual ban, and leave it at that.
