Excellent! Props to the hackers, I guess its sweet revenge for them fitting so many crappy drives in the original xbox that the drive is the point of attack ![]() Sounds like eventually you won't even need a modchip if its just a firmware update, even if at the moment you would need to remove the firmware chip. Thanks for the post ![]() |

There's a windows flasher in development and because MS went for a standard SATA dvd rom, you won't need any hardware mods. I'd pick up an xbox360 sharpish though as this will almost certainly be fixed in hardware revision 2 The REAL irony here though is that the first xbox had the same security hole, but becasue there were so many other holes, no one ever thought to exploit it until the 360 came out ![]() |

i don't have the money to waste on one really, there's no games that interest me enough to spend over ?100 on one. ![]() I haven't played a game for months now. |

![]() The cost of the console over it's life is fairly cheap if you don't have to buy games, certainly worth the earldy adopter surcharge IMHO For anyone who DOES want an xbox 360, my advice is to pick one up soon before MS change the hardware to fix the flaw (like thay did on the xbox 1) |

bah.. stuff that I say wait untill the have got a modchip or whatever down to a science and lots of homebrew soft and the price is really cheep. IU stioll think that XBMC on 360 will be worth it as you will be able to play high rez files. |

Well, that was scary! Taking the 360 apart is tricky, I then had to disconnect every drive from my PC to flash the 360's dvd and it didn't work, even originals were detected as DVD movies ![]() ![]() The REALLY scary about it was when I reassembled the 360 it did the red ring of death! I'll keep you all informed and if it works I'll do another tutorial ![]() |

Any chance of anything simpler/less risky/just plain better on the horizon ? Also, you're still stuck with the region code not ? |

No, and I think it will be a while before there is, it's taken MONTHS to get this ![]() I assume that tools to make life easier will be released soon though, If not I'll knock something up in VB to insert the relevant Security sectors into game images and keys into firmwares etc.
Yeah which is a PITA, but alot of 360 games are region free, there's a list here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Re ... _360_Games |
