​@@Chickenz663 You do know Xbox dev mode exists? If Microsoft didn't want people to use homebew and emulators, they wouldn't have added a service that allows the use of unsigned code. Microsoft created dev mode to keep the home brewers and emulators happy so they don't jailbreak their hardware, and you would have to be a damn fool not the realize that.

[@jfwfreo]

If Sony had not removed OtherOS from the PS3 (and if they had allowed OtherOS full access to the GPU in the system) then there would have been no reason for those who wanted to run homebrew, emulators etc on the system to investigate the copy protection or try to jailbreak the thing (which lead to the discovery of the flawed encryption and the full hacking of the system)

Thankfully they did make those SD adapters for PSP but hacking really opened it up because the UMD sucked, was slow, noisy and ate up battery power. Once you hacked it and could overclock it and run games from memory card it was a 100% better system. I have big hands though and the stick placement on both PSP and Vita just didn't work well for me, once the PSP was hacked though I played a lot of PSX games on it using the dpad.

Bare in mind, no system is unhackable. It’s as he said, microsoft made it entirely pointless to want to unless you wish to pirate, no other defence. I do personally think we’ll see an exploit happen soon when the console has been completely cut off, although the 360 servers are still up so that should speak when an xbox one exploit will happen, let alone series consoles and beyond & it’s already likely that exploits exist & just are remaining private since it’ll be entirely pointless to release it.

As far as I remember there was another hack for the 360, which affected the DVD drive only. One had to remove the drive from the console, put it in a PC and change it's firmware so it would report burned DVDs as retail ones.

This is what I did and it worked wonders. You only needed to have a double-layer DVD burner.

[@rewire7899]

Ah cool. Maybe we'll see something similar for the xbox one one day!

[@KingDylan93]

I have an rgh dual nand demon chip alongside a flashed dvd drive on my Xbox 360. It allows you to boot to a retail nand and play backups (patched through abgx 360) online (never got banned) and if you held down the sync button when the system is off the light would switch to red and you could boot to the hacked nand and run homebrew and run all kinds of awesome stuff. Was amazing

C4eva and even could buy a cheap 25 dollar burner and upgrade its firmware to make 1:1 backups with security keys and proper ID flags. I heard😅

[@gbxx6692]

You see, here's the thing.. what Microsoft and to some extent Sony learned is that renewable security is needed at the software and hardware levels to combat piracy. One alone would not be enough. However, what I think most people are missing, is that if an exploit gets these consoles into a jailbroken mode with jailbreak hardware/firmware/software to make it so, AND the pirates port the titles (mainly the offline ones) to this jailbroken firmware to specifically work on this type of mod.. there is no teeth to the renewable security.. and it will still be a 1:1 hack.. the hardware is in an offline state (at least to the the phone home mode) and the mod allows ported & hacked games to work. This will indeed happen, IF there is a demand and incentive to take things to the next level.. which eventually there will be or probably already has... it's just the 2022 version of the Captain Crunch decoder ring... also, sometimes the console's security get compromised by leaks from the developers part way through the release's lifetime.

[@amathos1130]

You forgot to mention that every title is ran in its own Hyper-V virtualized environment. Meaning that with such memory and address randomness even if an exploit was found, Hyper-V pretty much makes sure its a one-time gig. Also if comprised, most of the apps, games or even the OS would likely realize this and cease to function.

[@TrolleyMC]

@@SwerveNation Hyper-V is Microsoft's Virtual Machine Hypervisor, it allows a baremetal machine to isolate an environment (in this case, a game) away from the rest of the system. In order to fully hack the Xbox, you need a Hyper-V exploit.

[@sundhaug92]

"if comprised, most of the apps, games or even the OS would likely realize this and cease to function" that's true, and I'll tell you why. 1. Xbox relies on a key-hierarchy to decrypt its XVDs that depends on the hashes of all lower level code. This means that even if you are able to boot a modified XVD, games won't boot. This checking is done on a separate processor from the one that runs the hypervisor, kernel, apps, games, .... 2. Xbox Live includes attestation from the security processor of how the system booted. This means that when connecting to Xbox Live the device proves not only what software it's running, but what versions and if it has been modified. This means that a hacked console wouldn't be able to connect to Xbox Live. This is a large part of how they disincentivize it.

[@SwerveNation]

@@sundhaug92 wow I aint know allat, I'm also tryna get into coding.

Honestly... just the challenge is enough incentive to hack a console. I dont know that dev mode was the solution. Then again I suppose it was because in reality it would have been hacked already if the community really wanted to hack it. The forced updates can be overridden once you gain access to everything. Then it would be treated just like ps4 where you can spoof updates and/or have modded updated firmware in order to keep the system up to date. Honestly as 360 hardware gets older, the incentive to hack the one or series xbox will grow. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been attempted more already but it will eventually happen imo.

I don't understand your reason why you don't want to buy an Xbox. You don't need any jailbreak to play Xbox 360 games on it. What I read from your answer is only that you buy the console if you can play pirated games on it. Everything else is nonsense, since you can install all emulators with the DevMode (and things like RetroArch also in retail mode) and also play almost all Xbox 360 games on it. Nobody puts stones in the way of your project. Just your desire for piracy. AND: If you don't own original Xbox 360 games, you can still play them on a hacked Xbox 360. Xbox 360 games have gotten so cheap it's not even worth downloading. I rather suspect that you are dealing with hacked Xbox One / Series games. So just say it. Admit it. You want Xbox Series X game piracy. EDIT: Since the Xenia emulator is public available, there is even not excuse fot that by saying that only official backward compatible Games are supported. Every xbox 360 game even with mods is supported.

Yeah this is where we are at in the 1st world territories. There just isn't as much incentive to pirate because of great options like Gamepass (which is $15 us full price but can easily be had for 1/2 that a month by shopping ebay). Its sort of the IOS model as well which is there is just so much free content to be had on your phones/tables why bother with jailbreaking.

[@miuletzmitzu6641]

@@skylargrey5973 yup, it even adjusts prices based on region (at least where I'm from, in eastern europe, gamepass is 7$ a month and our minimum wage is slightly less than 400$). So why would I pirate when they offer such an affordable service? I was so shocked to see that some games have adjusted prices too, like Hi-Fi Rush being around 8$ as well when it's 22 euros on steam. Most people pirate here for that reason (we have a huge pirating site called filelist, it's invite based only and everyone I know has access to a shared account at least). I really wish people would start adjusting prices based on region. I really cannot afford 60$+ games, but if they were adjusted for our wages (so like 15-20$) I would buy them no problem.

[@TheLukasz032]

So-called e-fuses worked that way (via electrically overloading components) back then in the 80s and the 90s. Nowadays it's all digital, those bits (called OTP bits = one-time programmable) are programmable as any other bit on flash, EEPROM, whatever... except it's an one-way process - if you set a bit, you can't unset it later without physically milling a chip and exposing the die to UV, risking physical damage to the die itself.

As you concluded that the latest Xbox could not be hacked because it makes regular updates mandatory and has been built with customised silicon with security in mind and by the time, a hack is found, the console is not produced any more or reaches its end of life, I reckon that the hacking can still find the workaround for e-fuses, drilling holes in the right spots even before connecting the console to the Internet, eventually finding a hack and root for the console.

yeah, anything that releases as an exclusive to these consoles is 100% becoming lost media someday don't think there will ever be an Xbox One emulator either and when the Series S|X become retro and their stores close down, the only way to get new games for them would be going after physical copies of the games (rip Series S), but even then, DLCs and updates would be lost anyway well, not that there are that many exclusives to begin with, but I guess if any of these games gets a bad PC port, the not-badly-ported version would be lost just like the exclusives

[@olimar7647]

Piracy shouldn't be the way, but corporations seem resistant to consistent backwards compatibility, and sometimes refuse to port classics even when they've refused backwards compatibility. That's what's so sad. Companies have made it hard to keep your old, classic libraries without the old consoles, and getting around that almost always forces us, the players, to either fork over tons of money or break the law if we don't want to let go of the old libraries. That said, I advocate for a movement to rectify this and to push towards aomething like a core, mega console that can emulate all the discontinued oldies. Basically, PC gaming and emulation, but unquestionably legal and with corporate support. Companies could even still profit off of it by making the games available for purchase from an E-shop!

This will reflect back negatively in the future. I will use the original Xbox as an example, it has currently 3 major hardware problems, the clock capacitor, the IDE HDD and the optical drive, they're all ticking time bombs. The CC can be solved without exploiting the system, you rip it out the board before it leaks and if you want, replace it. The other 2 can only be solved through modding, replacing the HDD is possible if the console is hacked, which will allow you to rip your discs into your new SATA hard drive. This will make it possible to continue playing original Xbox games in the future even if the optical drive goes bust, plus you can clone/backup your new modded HDD so that you can easily swap out drives without losing your content. The Xbox One and Series consoles are the antithesis of preservation, if there is ever a problem or are abandoned by Microsoft they will turn into bricks.

[@PrinsessePeach]

@@Manic_Panic It is a response from Microsoft to stop piracy. Both OG Xbox and the 360 had this problem.
