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.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
