xbox hack

research softmoding the xbox.

i'm torn between building the video projector, and softmodding my xbox (hacking it with linux so i can run other programs on it) first. it'll bypass the origional bios and load 1 off the encryped hd - to do this i'll exploit a bug in splinter cell - load saved game- which will ACCIDENTLY run unsighed code. this will give me ftp access to the box, i can save the whole hd to my pc, then modify the consoles and run more unsigned code (game pirates/backups and homebrew doom! games.)

Splinter cell went gold and that never got fixed. that and 2 other games i'm aware of. oops on microsoft's part.
today i'll purchase some cables so i can cut them up and splice my usb penstick into my xbox to begin the softmodding procedure.
it may have the side effect of a 150$ paperweight. we'll see how it goes.

so does that mean you 'supported the troops' with your purchase? whats the warrenty from a DX store anyway? one life term in the military?

update:
my v 1.6b xbox is too new for the game exploit hacks.
it comes up with a nice error 21 call tech support screen. Looks like I'll have to play xbox like everyone else. 15$ for a cool tool to modify/transfer saved games and i about break even.
