Just a little thinking  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Does anyone know if the processor is programabel ???

You know, just like the Transmeta processor is able to be reprogrammed.
And if.... is it possible to do something that way??

It could be, but you would need an encrypted key to bypass the security, not to mention the hardware it would take to flash it. biggrin.gif

Maybe, but you know, the Transmeta processor is progamable by
software only, and my thoughts is: are the processor or parts of it
programable and can we do anything that way ??

If we can figure out how M$ does it, then sure, I guess.  It would be very difficult and expensive though.

It would probably be easier to make our own console from scratch.
so in short, no.

The Xbox 360's CPU has a MASK ROM built-in to the core that stores a hypervisor and a encryption key generator. When the 360 is booted, each core is assigned the task of generating new encryption keys. If the kernel or any part of the software is intercepted, the 360 will reboot, causing the 360 to generate new keys.


No it isn't possible.
