a serious assault on xbox360

a group of hackers from netherland have succeeded to play a cracked demo on the 360, the Team Pi Coder has made an ISO to be read by the 360 without even modify it !!! however they say hat apparently microsoft rushed this demo wihtout making some kind of protection that' s why it was relatively easy...

reminder this team already managed to get through the game information but it still can' t find a way to make it readable by the 360.

other hackers promised that a chip will be available in the next couple of months.

And team executor gave MS kudos for protection - they said it' s impossible to make 360 as hacked as X (homebrew software - HDD GAMES - MEDIA CENTER etc.) but backups will be possible for sure.

When I posted something about downloading games for the PSP the thread got locked. But here you get to discuss cracking Xbox360s, just like that? What' s the difference? Is Kikizo owned by Sony or something?

maybe mods havent seen the thread yet! So it will most likely be locked, and if it isnt, its because its just a discussion about it, not tips and tricks!

I guess you' re right. Back then I guess I shouldn' t have mentioned a site which is associated with piracy. But it was even more stupid by the staff to lock the thread because that made it impossible for me to remove the link. A warning would have been more appropriate. If they would have done that I could' ve gotten the point, the link would' ve been removed and I could have continued the discussion in a harmless direction. What they did just felt like police-state manners. It' s funny Adam mentioned that Sony hates Kikizo, that isn' t exactly helping out a lot now is it?

why does sony hates kikizo ?? oh and what do you think of all this ??

Ask Adam about Kikizos relations with Sony. Here' s the original posts and all:
https://forum.kikizo.com/tm.asp?m=35829&p=4&tmode=1&smode=1
Note that I use the word " illegal" meaning that it' s not recommended. It' s also clear that i do not support piracy since I say that it' s " tempting to keep downloaded games" where the word tempting is showing that I think piracy is a " sin" .
Might be a good idea to repeat the rules: " Discussions about pirating games are strictly not allowed on here, please let this be a last and only warning to all."

What do I think about all what?

adam was against that thread because you posted a link to download stuff!!!

you should not show tricks or tips or links unless well is is very vague and won' t lead to anything ..

what do you think of the 360 being modified , woudl we see some firware like what' s hapening with a psp, i hope not ...

you guys should think that it' s great in a certain way, you can play any game from any region and even any movie from any region , isn' t that awesom ?

this is extremly good specialy for europeans who always lack of RPG' s , those that show up only on japan and the US and there are so many exemple + you don' t have to wait months and months to play a certain game because it' s already out in japan or in the us ...

i f*****k hate that zoning stuff or whatever , when we' re gonna have zoneless console ... dream on

But that will cause everyone to import games. It would be devastating for stores in some countries, especially in Europe where the games always turn out last. And since every country has its own average price on different media, the prices will make people buy games and movies in other countries as well. The region coding might appear unnecessary but I think they have a good reason for it. It will also disrupt different marketing campaigns in different regions.
My link was kind of vague. I didn' t know if it actually had any downloadable games. It wasn' t directly linked to PSP-related materials. I didn' t tell how to download them or what to do before/after downloading. I also wanted to remove the link but since the thread was locked, I couldn' t do so. The site also has other interesting files other than games and movies. Also, you said " however i don' t know from where exactly they download the games..." so I thought I might as well enlighten you.

those guys don' t use interent or P2P softwares, those are professionals and they have their private sources that' s for sure, well i have my reasons to say so but let' s keep it here.

you' re right about import stuff , but still i want to be able import games and it' s squareenix fault that releases a game 12 months after the jp release i mean geeeeez , they say that european don' t love RPG' s, they made their decision and i made mine .

Europeans doesnt love rpg' s?
They said FF7 is a proof that they do that in square-enix...
why do you think FF8-FF10 was in Eng,spanish,german,italian,french?

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

quzcatol please it' s not me who said that , it' s japanese developers, and one of those is squarenix

don' t take final fantasy or some some major titles as an exemple , those will sell even if according to them , they won' t sell as in japan or in the US

there is still no european release date for ::
dragonquest 8!!!! no release date can you imagine the game is a year old starting from japan release

forget dragonquest , how about grandia 3 or radia story

even if they bring rpg' s to europe they usualy don' t translate them to french , spanish etc but leave them in english see?? sad but true

congratulation quez for your promotion haha a senior memeber lol

ok i' m not taking that seriously but dude i' m still stuck in this junior member tag hate it lol

The difference between this thread and the last one is that in the last one, someone was directly asking about it, thereby inciting others to post links to places we do not want to support, whether intentionally or not. It is nothing to do with which company or system in question.

Discussions about the technicalities of emulation and so forth are allowed, as are discussions about who may have hacked what recently, eg. PSP firmware, and what the implications are for gamers or the industry. What is not allowed is any information about where to find Roms, Illegal Hacks or Cracks, or guides on how to do stuff which is not legal. The end.

fair adam doree

Yeah,im a senior member i guess :P
However im gonna do army service 2006 16 january,so will be back and foruth mayby one week a month.
But i will visit the site as often as i can.

i wish there could be region-free games. man i' d import sooo many games from japan that are not even here in north america...the other thing u could do abasoufiane is to buy a japanese console on e-bay and learn how to speak japanese, LOL , oh and don' t forget to buy the japanese region discs.

the 360 will be hacked, like the ps3 and the rev. But this time around, I don' t think they can actually make it so customisable as the xbox. I read somehwere about a feature the 360 has. if they can find a way around that, then the 360 will be FULLY customisable, as in run two dashboards etc etc, but that will take years, or maybe will never happen. I' ll try and find the link that talks about this, forgot where i read it, but I kno it was one of those tech websites, like gizmondo type.

I think that if you really like import games, you should by a Japanese console instead of chipping your own regions console.

360 is region free for games, or at least the UK (European) model is. I got DoA4 and RR6 imported from North America and they work properly. I know a guy that imported a 360 (they' ve completely sold out in the UK) from Japan, where they' re going really cheap. He got a power converter and his Japanese games work on my 360 too.

It' s region coded for films and Japan is region 2 like Europe.

What?
European xbox360 work with american/japanese games?

i had no idea about that , although what i hear and what i' m sure of is that DOA4 is indeed region free

Yep. Some original Xbox games were like that too. See, Microsoft leave it to the developers/publishers to decide whether they want to region lock their games. Like i said, i live in the UK, i have a 360 i got on launch day here and i imported DoA4 and RR6 from the US since they' re not out here til next month and they work fine.

Makes sense to me. The PSP is only region locked for films too, meaning it' ll play any game from anywhere. The 360 is the same, region locked for films but not for games.

EDIT: a quick look over at Lik-Sang shows Call of Duty 2 US, Condemned: Criminal Origins US, Gun US, Quake 4 US, Tony Hawks : American Wasteland US to be region free and working on ALL consoles (Japan, Europe, US etc).

While Dead or Alive 4 US (Console needs to be set to 60Hz or controllers won' t work) and Ridge Racer 6 US (doesn' t matter if 50Hz or 60Hz) work perfectly on EUROPEAN consoles.

And Japanese games with English voice/text/menu support include; Ridge Racer 6(complete english, not region-free), Perfect Dark Zero (complete english, not region-free), Project Gotham Racing 3 (complete english, not region-free, confirmed by Bizarre), Dead or Alive 4 (complete english, not region-free), King Kong (complete english, not region-free), Kameo (complete english, not region-free, confirmed by Rare) - Meaning that they will work on both Japanese and European (region 2) consoles but not US consoles.

So, if you live in Europe you can import games from both Japan and the US and they' ll work fine. Some future games will be region locked but most won' t.

The list is available at lik-sang.com http://forum.lik-sang.com/showthread.php?t=9766 and will be updated accordingly.

hmmm UK....

I heard of 360' ies where DOA doesnt work, when its bought from the US

PAL console need to be set to 60hz for the controllers to work (wireless). But DoA4 work fine for me.

I didnt feel like taking the chance. Im counting on getting it friday, maybe saturday. Im not even done with Kameo, King Kong, or PGR 3 yet, so im not wildly in a hurry!

Yeah, if it makes Friday though. I mean, HMV had it listed as the 9th last week, the the 20th on Sunday and now the 27th. Gamestation just say Jan 2006 like Game, and Amazon still says 20th. My friend wants it too and he' s been ringing everywhere and nobody knows.

I know what you mean though, although i' ve completed CoD2, Condemned and Kameo, i am nowhere near finishing PGR3 and i haven' t even scratched the surface of Amped 3. I bought but haven' t played Gun or King Kong yet, are they any good? I heard Tony Hawks sucks though so i didn' t take it out of the plastic yet! I REALLY want Oblivion though, it' s gonna steal my life and make my girlfriend go elsewhere for affection i think. I went to the elderscrolls website and watched all 6 of the videos and it look amazing!

Speaking of modifications;

The guy who modded my Xbox said that the 360 will be cracked eventually (of course) but it won' t be worth it to mod the thing because there are SO MANY counter-measure built into it. He' s really knowledgeable about this stuff, too. I suppose if you were going to pirate games it might be worth it, but it cost me $150 to mod my Xbox (not including the hard drive!). It' s been cool, downloading my games to the hard drive, and streaming music. And playing DOA: Volleyball with the nude patch is priceless, but I don' t know if it was " worth it" per se. I don' t even use most of the stuff he put on there. Then again, I was considering buying a region free dvd player (for about $100) and now I don' t have to!

when the first mod chip appeared in morocco , it costed $80 but now it cost only $40... the downwar of doing this is you can' t connect to xbox live anymore, no big deal in morocco since we can' t have it anyway ... i heard lately that people were able to,play on line with the xbox by connecting it to private servers .

i think the big deal with ps3 will not be to find a modship but rather to burn blue-ray, i' m sure that burners for these formats will be very exepensive , and so you won' t see ps3 burned games everywhere before at least two years.
