Hacked



A forum poster at XboxHacker.net claims that the World's first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification is now available.

The poster, who goes by the name of Commodore4eva, claims that the firmware mod will allow you to boot all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups,all Xbox 1 backups, all Xbox 360 originals, and all Xbox 1 originals on Xbox 360.

It appears there is no shortage of hackers eager to test out the new modification, with one forum member already confirming that the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter backup has been successful.

That was quick :)

Have MS designed the 360 in such a way that they can prevent the mod being applied with their own software update? (thats kind of rhetorical btw)

(btw, that square advert in line with the srticle on the left hand side does weird things when the text is that short. you can't make out the “Other Related Content” links)
See now I think these people are pretty clever and props to them for doing it. I will not be supporting anything like this though as I try my very hardest to have all either legit of open source software :)
That was quick :o Shame I don't have an xbox 360 :D
gosh, and they wont even need a bypass chip like Messiah.. just a firmware mod and voila..
Its not quite as simple as you think.

For every ‘backup’ game you want to play, you've gotta extract a piece of code from the backup image, and flash it into the DVD firmware… So its not exactly the most user friendly hack ever. But its a start.

Plus the fact you can't be connected to Live, ever, cos they'll be able to flash it back and ban you're account :)
