So another hack that depends on you not being connected to Xbox Live. Fun.

I want a region free 360 for Operation Troy. Too bad you need to be online to play it.

In this case, while this gives actual homebrew a greater chance, "homebrew" has such an infantile existence on 360 that the majority of any kind of hacks up to this point in time is almost assuredly piracy related, so it's pointless to feel any kind of self righteous by pointing to another console.

Why on earth would anyone use this complicated hack to pirate when they can do a 15 minute mod? You can already pirate on 360. People do it. Widely. And many if not most play their pirated games on Live.

You can run XBMC on a PC.

I'd also like to run 360 games on it, though...but it has to be an XBMC thing for my wife to okay having a console in the bedroom :lol

Bullshit. Most NTSC games refuse to run on a PAL system and vice versa.

actually, nowadays, more work than don't work. this doesn't really help legacy titles though, and there are still enough that don't to annoy and hinder people.

That's sort of what I was leading on. For the most part, previous "homebrew" wasn't much of a counterargument for the majority of the 360 hacks since there wasn't any.

If it weren't for the Live issue, I'd do it as soon as they got games running off the hard drive. Disc Swapping is so last gen

that actually shouldn't be very hard for someone to do, they'd probably just have to sign the game install to run from the hdd.

Oh yes, sorry, I get what you're saying now.

edit: nvm, seems like its really complicated and not software based like a bootdisc

Earl Cazone · Nov 30, 2009

so, are emulators coming to 360? and if yes: could 360 run a dreamcast emu?

It is nice having mods who appreciate the value of homebrew and that those who use it shouldn't be placed in the same group as pirates.

Keep in mind that games also about the 360 kernel/dashboard, so even if a console has never been online you'll still get all the latest updates by simply buying new games. Bought MW2 or AC2? No homebrew for your offline console

Also you'll still need to solder some stuff on your 360 motherboard and other stuff like that.

My newest game was Monkey Island SE! I still win!

Wait, does this mean I can finally play culdcept saga....

For my purposes, the availability of cheap, compact "nettop" PCs that didn't exist in the days of the original Xbox make modded consoles a lot less appealing now than they were last gen. But I guess it's cool for serious importers.

from the other thread...

This thread can also be bumped to mention that MS has now started banning consoles that are using that new homebrew exploit.

of course, only an idiot would actually have the gall to use this exploit on XBL, so that weeded out some people.

Just reacting to the 'useless to 95% of 360 owners' comments: You guys are underestimating the number of 360s that have never seen the Internets. Way off even! Over a third of 360 owners never used Live, not even Silver!

read up a bit. it doesn't matter if they've been connected, they've had to have not purchased a recent game either, because those ship with the updates.

Ban-Bait.

Say goodbye to Live.

XNA exists for development of all kinds of crap. Its legal, supported by MS, and you can make money off of it. Most anything outside that realm is likely for piracy purposes.

XBMC? Plus some guys are working on bringing the old Xbox Dashboard so not everything is piracy. At all.

Why when Windows Media Center works on a 360?

I prefer this:

Sorry to go off topic, but is there an XMBC or something similar, that has a nice interface and allows me to browse videos, pc games, emulators all at once by controlling with a USB pad. his is for PC by the way.

XBMC? Is out for pc, has launchers for games, videos, photos, music, emulators, apps, etc.. and a lot of different skins.

Not everybody has windows, nor they want to keep their PC on and the most important thing of all, choice.

It runs Xbox games in software emulation, remember?

Damn, all I want is to play some motherfucking Japanese games without buying an expensive and risky Japanese system.

360's are much cheaper to buy in Japan than in the US and the hardware version on shelves has fixed the RLOD problem, apparently.
