For all you chipped console users out there

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

Yeah read this today on XS... haven't turned my 360 on in a few weeks so maybe i'm not affected, but even if i am, big whoop i don't play online much... I just wish they wouldn't make it so hard for hombrew, i want XBMC on the 360 dammit!

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
