Screen Savers- Hacking the XBOX

[JIM]

Anyone watch "The Screen Savers" on TechTV for the past two days?
They're doing some pretty nice hacks on the XBOX.
Almost makes me want to go out and buy one. Ahhhh...It reminds me when I used to mod my playstation and dreamcast /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Simple, the Xbox uses the same standard kind of hard drive your PC uses, you need nothing more than to rip it out, plug it into your PC and use a hex editor (so far as I know, I'm no hacking wiz) to screw around with the save files or insert your own commands.

They've been trying to hack it since it's release and are finally getting results. Most recently, some pervert spent countless hours making all the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball characters "anatomically correct."

now that sounds funny, surprised he didn't do something like make bikinis that just consist of flesh colur with two nipple textures. anyone who gets their jollies from bouncing rendered mammorys is quite sad......okay I admit I own DOA2, but thats cause of the innovative technical fighting system and counterattacking. HONESTLY!!! /forums/images/icons/blush.gif

Yea, i heard you can make it so that you can burn games onto your xbox, just rent em and you got them for life. Probably need a bigger drive to fit everything though.....

A man that works for me currently set up his XBox to work as a Tivo. Odd, but true.

Here is my one claim to associated fame. My best-girlfriends brother is the Chief XBOX (CXO) officer for Microsoft. That makes me 1 degree from the big dog. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif Robert Bach, CXO (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/rbach/default.asp) Wish I liked video games more!

Hail!

I saw that episode... there is a website that sells some mod chips for the xbox that lets you save entire games to it so you dont have to use the disk

That's awesome.

Can the 360 be hacked like this?

And I can't believe the Xbox is that old. Time flies!

I have drawers older than the Xbox.

Wait... you're still using a VHS player, what the hell are you so excited about?

Freakin' luddite... ;)

I actually softmodded an xbox way back when, but I bricked one first, doh.

I still find it ironic that it does everything I wish my 360 would, but doesn't. Namely play older games, as in ALL of them not just some. Play assorted media, without having to get some stupid codecs that should be available for dl from the MS site like the dashboard updates are, and not through live.

Oh an it runs mame, so guess who still gets to play TMNT2 perfectly.
I should get my xbox out of storage.

[Threadkiller]

Oh an it runs mame,
Wow, did not know that. If I had I probably would have gotten one years ago.

[Omaru]

Wow, did not know that. If I had I probably would have gotten one years ago.

it only ran certain roms, and not just 3d ones that didn't play, I had trouble with some of the later street fighters and mortal kombat 1. Not sure if altering setting would have fixed that but I was too afraid and just glad it ran what it did.
