Xbox360 DVD Firmware Hacked - Video
>> As you know TheSpecialist and his team were working on a modified firmware for the Xbox 360. He already managed to make one for the original Xbox a while ago, and he announced this method was highly likely possible with the Xbox 360 too. From TheSpecialist on xboxhacker.net:
[QUOTE]
Months of hard work have come to an end. The 360 FW security details were posted a few days ago already, so why not make it official :-) It's been done.
Respect to all the people on this board who made it possible with their brilliant contributions:
Anita999, Geremia, Nayr, Bluecop, Interestedhacker, MacDennis, Phantasm, Marvin, Tiros, SpenzerX, Team Modfreakz, Fuzzylogic, Takires, loser, jasper, SMO, Groepaz, Zobyone, Jumba, Amadeus, Tser, DjHuevo, oz_paulb, DaveX, darkfly, evestu, Robinsod, Dark_Neo, Gael360, Seventhson, probutus.
Just for fun, here's a little video:
And no, the team decided not to release a hacked FW. The security details are proof itself. The team advocates hacking, not piracy.
[/QUOTE]
What is this? A bit more info...
The hack is a modified firmware of the Xbox 360 Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L DVD-ROM drive (the security in the Toshiba/Samsung TS-H943 is said to be similar, so it's probably also possible with this drive ... but it does require it's own hacked firmware of course).
As you (should) know, all Xbox 360 executables (XEX files) are signed by Microsoft (with a private key only MS has). This means that if you try to change anything to the XEX file, the signature will be wrong and the file will not boot.
Now ... to protect from booting an exact copy of a game from a DVD-R or other recordable media, microsoft gave each XEX file a 'mediaflag'. This mediaflag tells the Xbox 360 from which media (cd-r, dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, hdd, dvdxbox, dvdxbox360, ...) the XEX is allowed to boot. Changing this mediaflag in the XEX header is not an option as it'll break the signature of the file (see above), so ... what's done in this firmware hack is 'break' the detection of the disc.
Retail games usually get a mediaflag where they only allow 'dvdxbox360' (Xbox 360 discs - different than a normal DVD because it has some specific bad sectors and special info in lead-in/out that can't be written with a standard dvd burner). The modified firmware will trick the DVD drive into reporting a DVD-R (or other) as a DVDXBOX360 to the Xbox 360.
How can you do this?
Well, right now you can't. The firmware has not been released to the public because it would mostly be used for piracy and that's not what this team wants (unlike the original Xbox hack this can't be used (atleast not directly) for homebrew and linux fun). But the research done by these guys is public as you can read their discussions of the last few months on the xboxhacker.net forums, so people with good assembly experience should be able to duplicate this hack.
If the firmware was released, what would it mean?
Right now the Xbox 360 DVD firmware can't be flashed via PC (and for us, end-users, even less directly by the Xbox 360 itself (Microsoft could probably flash the drive from Xbox360 tho)), because there's no software to do this. Of course, drivers and flashing software for Xbox360 DVD drives could probably be written (and some people have been working on this), but so far this has not been done (atleast not publicly).
So, that means you'd have to open your Xbox 360, open your DVD drive and desolder the chip where the firmware is stored on.
Each Xbox 360 DVD drive has a unique key, if that key doesn't match what your console is expecting your DVD drive will not work.
So next you will need to read your current firmware chip with special hardware (flash programmer), to find your unique DVD 16 byte key (stored at 0x4F00). Then you'll have to insert this key in the modified firmware (or patch your original firmware) and program this modified firmware back on the firmware chip. Then put the firmware chip back in the drive, close DVD drive and Xbox 360 and I guess you're done.
As said above the hack would allow you to run MS-signed and unmodified XEX files only, so that also means the game must be of right region (as changing the regionflag in the XEX header would break the signature). Unsigned, homebrew executables would of course not work, again because signature check would fail.
LIVE and Updates ...
Can you go on LIVE with this hack? Well the firmware isn't released, so noone can try, but I'd guess it would work yes. The Xbox 360 itself is fully in 'normal state', nothing is modified to the Xbox 360 itself, it just gets 'wrong' info from the DVD drive. Of course if you start modifying non-signed files (like textures, ini files, ...) in order to cheat on LIVE or so MS could easily check for that.
Can Microsoft stop this firmware hack with forced LIVE updates? They could probably try detect a basic modified DVD firmware, but anything the Xbox 360 asks to the DVD drive goes via the DVD firmware, and if the firmware is 'open' in the hands of the hackers the firmware can probably each time be modified again to give the reply that the console expects. Microsoft could maybe do more with a HW security update ... but I'll let them analyse that.
(Note that all info above is based on all stuff I read ... if I made any mistakes, let me know)
*UPDATE* A next-day follow-up news post about this hack is available here.

More About Asian Launch and Asian Game Price ($43 shipped) Worth Import?
>> We already reported about the Xbox 360 launch in Taiwan earlier. Here are some extra pictures posted on the Team Xbox GamerScore Blog of the March 16th launch in Singapore, Hong Kong and more from Taiwan:
[QUOTE]
* Singapore invited MTV VJ Denise Keller and all sorts of gamers to an event at the Red Dot Gallery.
Before that, they went to the IT Show, from the 9-12. About 23k folks stepped up and got to play 360.
* Taiwan set up a group of Kiosks at the Kmall (if you live there, it's near the Taipei station). It's still going on, and here's what it looks like:
* And Hong Kong had a huge midnight madness-type event.
The team also put up a count-down clock at New Town Plaza. Look at the size of this Xbox:
Sounds like we had a pretty sweet launch, so much so that productivity in Asia is expected to drop. Sweet.
[/QUOTE]
More pictures of the launch in Singapore are available here[gameaxis.com], for the Taiwanese launch go here[sukimon.com].
With the launch of the Xbox 360 in asia (outside Japan) we also get to see the asian gameprice, which is pretty interesting as it's well below the ~50-70usd / ~55-70eur pricetag we get here in the west.
As some Xbox 360 titles are not region locked it's interesting to take a look at import stores like play-asia.com selling these titles for just 39.90usd. With worldwide airmail shipping at just 3.10usd that means you can get titles like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion[not confirmed region free yet - so dont pre-order unless you have a NTSC/J console] for just 43usd (~35.25eur) delivered to your door instead of respectively ~60usd/70eur and ~60usd/62eur (amazon.com/fr prices).
Of course ... keep in mind it's possible you'll have to pay importtaxes and for europe maybe also VAT. But with the basic airmail shipping the games get shipped in a small 'letterbox' and chances that it gets checked by the customs is pretty low (but possible I guess).
Also ... always check the game is not region locked and in english ... most online import stores list this in the description. Some asian titles so far (like GRAW) seem to be region free and in english (Oblivion is not confirmed to be region free yet because it's not released yet). PAL regions also might want to make sure their TV can accept an NTSC signal, although I guess a PAL console will output a PAL signal even with a NTSC game (can anymore confirm this?).
Let us know what you think about this (pretty big, certainly for europe) price difference ... would you consider importing games?, do you think it makes any difference on LIVE (like rooms you get into)? Could be worth buying an NTSC/J Xbox 360 so you can also buy the region locked titles from asia ;)

Ballmer: Xbox will capitalize on PS3 delay
>> From CNN Money:
[QUOTE]
After Sony announced on Tuesday that the Playstation 3 won't launch until November, the Xbox 360 is in a better position to become the top gaming console, says Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
"In every other generation, the first guy to 10 million consoles was the number one seller in the generation," Ballmer told FORTUNE in an interview on Thursday afternoon. "Did we just get an even better opportunity to be the first guy to 10 million? Yeah, of course we did."
There is still a production bottleneck because of problems with a component vendor, whom Ballmer declined to name, but he expects Microsoft to sell 5 million systems by June. "We're sort-of on track," he says, "though it would've been nice at Christmas to have one for everyone who wanted one."
Microsoft plans "major pushes" of the Xbox 360 in France, Italy, Spain and Japan -- markets where the first generation Xbox didn't perform as well as Microsoft hoped.
"I am palpably optimistic," Ballmer says. "I think we are absolutely in the game for the market position it would be nice to have."

truD HD Chip Eliminates Motion Blur for Flat Panel HDTVs
>> From teamxbox.com:
[QUOTE]
Micronas, a German-based semiconductor designer and manufacturer, announced today a new high-definition frame rate converter intergrated circtuit (IC) that eliminates the motion blur that limits today's large screen HDTVs.
Using Micronas' patented truD HD technology, this new IC can generate 120 frames per second (fps) from 50/60Hz broadcast content and even from 24 fps film sources. Surpassing other products that are limited to 720p processing resolution, the FRC 94xyH is the first IC that has a film de-judder solution for Full HD 1920x1080 digital TV sets.

Report from Xbox 360 Launch in Taipei, Taiwan
>> From sukimon.com:
[QUOTE]
The launch party for the XBOX360 was on tonight in downtown Taipei around the Taipei 101 building, next to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store. Based on what I saw, I'm guessing it went somewhat better than the Japan launch, but may have been somewhat muted due to the fact that the 360 has been available from gobs of game shops already due to the fact that Taiwan imports most of their games from Japan anyway.
The launch came complete with a stage and a pair of showgirl emcees, an XBOX360 branded Ford Focus, a buying station hosted by retailer FNAC, a capsule prize booth and of course, a battery of game kiosks.
The Pro version was 12,980NTD and the Core was 9,980NTD, about $401USD and $310USD respectively. The games are another matter - Perfect Dark Zero was selling for 1,380NTD, or about $43USD. I've already seen games like Dead or Alive 4 for about this much or 1,500NTD($46USD), way below the $60USD price point, as well as a Tetris game for pretty cheap, like $35USD or so.
I wandered around and found the game shed - a mockup living room complete with comfy sofa, HDTV, surround sound system and happy couple playing Dead or Alive 4.

Lik-Sang: Datel's Memory Transfer Kit Hands-on and Related Developments
>> Some interesting newsbits about Xbox 360 Memory/HD Transfer Kits over at Lik-Sang.com:
[QUOTE]
* Preliminary Scene Developments: 360MemoryAdaptor
We have witnessed some efforts here and there from people like William Gonzalez, who have been assembling PCBs. William actually shared a couple of his prototypes with us in the week prior to Datel's announcement of the Transfer Kit, and for the low-price of US$ 5, they do their job quite neatly. Of course, there is no casing on them and that might represent a problem for many of you out there, both cosmetically and because of the risk to damage the pins in which you slot your Xbox 360 Memory Card (since the pins are completely naked and not protected by any kind of plastic connector).
* Hands-on with Datel's Memory Transfer Kit
The Transfer Kit is the first professionally mass-produced adapter of its kind. It comes in a nice clamshell blister packaging as brick and mortar retailers like them. Out of the box, you'll get the Transfer Kit itself, an installation CD, a professional user's manual freshly baked by Datel's printing factory, and, as a free bonus, a complimentary adapter for Xbox1 Memory Cards.
From the installation CD, you can furthermore install both Action Replay Xbox (for the complimentary Xbox1 Mem Card Adapter mentioned above) and the Xchange360 software that the UK based peripheral company prepped up for their new Transfer Kit. Xchange 360 allows you to back-up a complete Memory Card image to your PC hard drive, or, going the other way around, to restore an image back to the Memory Unit. Xchange360 does not extract or isolate single files. You will always have to transfer a complete "image" back and forth with the PC, which kinda limits the fun.
Luckily, the Xplorer360(info) freeware comes to the rescue on this. The latter does let you play around with separate files, be them pictures, game saves or others.
Read On (Datel's Memory Transfer Kit Hands-on): lik-sang.com
* Upcoming Concepts: Madrics' Memory Transfer Kit
Our friends at accessories maker Madrics Europe have already informed Lik Sang that they also have a similar product coming down the pipe within the next couple of weeks. Final release date and price point will be unveiled soon, stick to these columns. In the meantime, here are the first photographs of the adapter, which, as you can see, comes as a handy connector rather than under the form of a long cable:
* Upcoming Concepts: 360SATA (already mentioned on xbox-scene before)
Jonathan Kutz and his crew over at 360SATA have been working around the clock on an adapter to connect your Xbox 360 Hard Drive with your computer. It allows you to download and upload files with the HDD [using the Xplorer360 software]. We have a sample making its way to our desk as we speak, while the first very limited batch of assembled PCBs have been pre-sold through 360SATA.com directly. We are looking forward in checking the prototype when it comes in, and we hope to be helpful pushing the project forward. Stay tuned for more info on this converter, either when it reaches us, or by the time mass-production brings the supply to a sustainable level.

The Official Xbox Response To PS3 Announcement
>> From the Team Xbox GamerScore Blog:
[QUOTE]
Since Sony made their PS3 announcement yesterday, lots of people are wondering about the official Xbox response is. Well here you go:
"This announcement certainly doesn't change any of our plans. We've blasted out of the gate with the greatest launch in the history of video games and we're keeping our eyes squarely fixed on today and on the Xbox 360 road ahead, including continuous new content and programming through our premier Xbox Live online gaming service, the delivery of 80 high definition games and shipping between 4.5 and 5.5 million consoles by June."
This may come as a shock to folks, but Sony tends to not share their launch plans with us in advance. ;) We're continuing to stay focused on Xbox 360.

Analyst: Halo 3 Back in the Frame?
>> From next-gen.biz:
[QUOTE]
Hiroshi Kamide, analyst at KBC Securities in Tokyo said, "The Xbox 360 will now have had a year's head start. The danger is that they could target very big-hitting titles at the launch of the PS3 just to sabotage it. If they release Halo 3 - Microsoft's biggest selling game - timed to PS3, that will be quite damaging for Sony."

PS3 WorldWide Launch in November, 60GB HD and more...
>> From ps3scene.com:
[QUOTE]
Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi finally gave some official details about the PS3 at the PlayStation Business Briefing 2006 in Japan.
He confirmed that the PlayStation3 is delayed because the copy protection isn't ready with Blu-ray, but we'll get a worldwide launch in North America, Asia and Europe early (atleast for Japan within first 10 days of) November 2006.
They will produce the PS3 at a rate of 1 million units per month and should have 6 million units released by the end of march 2007.
The final PS3 development kits will be shipping to developers in June 2006.
To prevent piracy all PS3 games will come out on Blu-Ray discs only, not on CD/DVD. The console will of course be able to read PS1 CDs, PS2 DVDs and DVD movies.
Sony also announced that the PlayStation 3 will be 100% backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games, and all titles played on the system will be displayed at high-definition resolutions.
The PS3 will require a, completely upgradeable, hard drive. Publishers have been told to develop titles with the assumption that the console will have a HD. Kutaragi also said the 60GB HD will support Linux OS and will act as a home server where users can store their media on.
The PS3 will include a built-in Wi-Fi connection that can serve as a wireless access point for the PSP.
Sony also unveiled some details of their online plans ('PlayStation Network Platform'). At launch the console will get community tools (lobby matching and voice chat) and commerce features (like in-game shopping and game downloads to the hard drive). The "basic" service will be free of charge.
No new software announcements or pricing details were made, maybe something for the GDC next week?

Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore: Launch This Week
>> From the Team Xbox GamerScore Blog:
[QUOTE]
Thought I'd give everyone a heads-up about the Asia launch on March 16 (ends up being Mar 15 Pacific Time). Gamers in these three countries can look forward to some cool events: Hong Kong's doing midnight madness at Toys R US. Taiwan's got a huge party planned at the K-Mall Xbox 360 Flag Demo Station. Singapore has Xbox 360 demo stations all over, at places like Courts and Challenger. Since I didn't get invited to the party L, the team in Hong Kong sent me photos of the ads I *would* have seen if I were there (sniff, sniff, I know):

Transcode 360 Next Build Info
>> Runtime posted some info about the upcoming build of Transcode 360(info):
[QUOTE]
Sorry for the lack of updates people. I am busy with a new release and plan on holding onto it for a bit longer until I can add a couple more features. At the moment the new build mostly consists of improvements in the install process and stuff to help folks with network access and codec problems.
Are there any features you'd like to see added?
In related news, I have in the meantime established a good rappor with the author of My Movies, and once folks are happy with the ease of install for T360, I'm pretty sure I will have the go ahead to implement integration with My Movies.
There was some question over whether we might use VLC to perform the transcoding instead of Windows Media Encoder. Updated: The next build almost certainly won't support VLC, but it does seem to address a number of issues; although there are still a couple of things I need to clear up concerning picture quality.
