For all you chipped console users out there

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/200.../17/545414.aspx

MS are banning them up.

Obviously it'll take a while with the sheer amount of modded units.

Of course there are ways around it, but for the majority... there is a rude shock coming :O

Had me worried there for a minute, i was planning on buying one in a few weeks!

LOL I love my XBMC, isnt there something very similar for the 360? Ive heard u can connect it to a PC to play like .avi files n that?!?!

Cant wait till they get right into it like the 1st XBOX i wanna play all my newer FBA & MAME roms where on the XBOX they run out of memory :O

Ash, not sure what you mean by way around it? It really is a matter of 'if' MS detect you playing backups then they ban you from Xbox Live, that's it your ConsoleID is banned, no way to fix that, or get around that. Since no one really knows under what conditions MS ban you right now, it could be if you play backups, or play backups online, or have a modified firmware and playing online or even playing offline modded firmware, next time you try to connect it could ban you. Once your banned from XBLive thats it.... You can still play offline backups however.

Kelly, you can't run homebrew on XB360 yet like you can on Xbox. They've figured out a way to get linux to run, but only on a certain version of the dash, which most people have updated to a newer one and you can't downgrade to the old one since they blow and efuse when you upgrade. People are still working on it. XB360 can connect to a Media Centre PC or media player 11 and stream movies/videos from it, but only wmv videos. There are other add on programs you can download that will convert avi's etc to wmv on the fly so you can play them on the xb360, but you lose quality. Also all the decoding is done on your PC and not on the xb360. Still no where near as good as XBMC.

sucked in?

ffs just buy games.. If you're gonna get at least 10 hours entertainment for $90 or so, that's not bad.

Most of the chumps who pirate every single game never end up playing anything anyhow as they're too busy spending all their time downloading them all and mucking around with firmware.

No i mean the chipped units, not so much of a worry about the games.

If you wanna online, just buy the game

But if you run the chip via switch, then you can play burnt games offline, then real ones online, i would imagine this to be possible and MS would never know.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
