The Xbox was a very iconic game system in my childhood. I was around 13 years old, I found the Xbox modding and homebrew community. I remember sending an email to bunnie about some really unusual things happening with my xbox when trying to mod it. It turns out there were some refurbished xbox's with newer firmware versions, but older hardware, that caused a number of modchips to not work. He then suggested I just use his I2C sniffing guide, and unlock the hard drive directly to mod the system. Doing all of this really unlocked that bridge of how computers and digital electronics work, and a foundation of programming. Today, I'm very successful in life for having this knowledge. You have helped to inspire and educate many kids, who are leading very happy lives right now. Thank you!

You gave some of the money to those guys because you're like most of us, you believe in the community and want to see it succeed as a whole, not just what you personally want to see it become. You want to inspire large amount of diverse ideas and schools of thought amongst homebrew developers/users. Because even though game companies don't agree with what console hackers/modders/homebrew devs do, they do sometimes emulate and incorporate features from modded systems into future retail hardware revision and new reatil releases. The more people involved, the more likely game companies are to see it as a viable decision to pursue. Keep up the good work, been using your OG Xbox emulators and homebrew for about 15yrs now!

Thanks for your contributions to the modder community! I know I'm late to the vid but your work is much appreciated. I enjoyed everything you had a hand in releasing. I'm still using some of it. Surreal64 was by far the most polished N64 emulator I have ever seen. Loved modding the original xbox, must have done 1000 or more soft mods and tsops. It was so much fun! I still run a fork of xbmc (plex). The scene contributed so much to what most people don't even realize is out there. Agaim, thanks and awesome work. The vid and explanations are awesome!
