Slashdot Mirror
Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved
An anonymous reader writes "It looks like pSyCo from XEmulation.com Has found a way to boot Xbox Linux Live on an unmodified Xbox with nothing but an Xbox and Linux PC (no memory card of any kind, etc). Also a guide to using this method to flash your Xbox's onboard TSOP with the bios of choice, making the Xbox modded without an actual mod-chip. $5 to rent 007 to mod my xbox sounds nice =) Check it out at: XEmulation.net Forum or XboxHacker.net BBS. *Wonder what the DMCA would think about this...*" This builds on the "007"-based method discussed earlier.

clerk: Ok.. let's see.. Hmm.. the screw heads are worn, indicating you've opened this XBox up. Oh, I see solder splattered on the board.. wait a sec, this isn't even an XBox board, it's from an old Betamax!
Whatever Microsoft TELLS THEM to think about this.
(I may get an -1 redundant since that is the whole reason for the DMCA. Oh well. )
My guess is that the DMCA would have the same contented papery thoughts that other printed documents have, not to mention an intense dislike for fire.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

Retard.Not very much, I would imagine. Given that's it a law. It's not even an object, let alone an animate one capable of thought.
so why do folks sink lots of time and effort into this?
Why do people climb the Everest? It's not like they are going to settle there or mine for resources.

Is there a .exe for Linux or Windows?
.exe and then I can flash roms over?

God spoke to me
I installed linux on my dog. Things didn't go well!
But what, exactly, does this do for me, besides letting me put a finger in M$'s eye?

You're a slashdot reader, shouldn't annoying Billy boy be enough for you?
C'mon editors - don't you check your stories and links before you post?
Is this a trick question?
If this article confuses you, don't worry. It was posted yesterday in a much clearer fashion.
It seems that /. could use a new topics logo for Piracy (perhaps modeled on the Pittsburgh Pirates logo?)...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
as soon as m$ open-sources windows, i'm sure somebody will compile it to run on xbox.
just don't hold your breath...
What I find odd is now we WANT a buffer overflow, so we can BOOT linux instead bitching about sloppy ass programmers for them causing it to crash.

You know it's bad when your first thought is "Don't you know this is Slashdot?"
And the second thought is, "Man, what a tired joke."

clerk: uh, ok. You got your receipt?
Receipts are all powerful. Clerks are dumb.
Happy goldfish bowl to you.
Well, if "Information wants to be free" then "The DMCA wants to be an asshole".
I wouln't go as far as to say 99.9%. You are forgetting all of the excelent homebrew programs out there for the xbox. They are the only reason I bought an XboX. I don't use it to play warezd xbox games, I use it to watch warezd divx dvd rips and listen to warezed mp3s with xbox media player. And to play warezed super nintendo roms with Xsnes9X. Haven't tried to run linux on it. It'd be nice to browse the web on my tv sometimes, or to play tux racer :), but I don't play on doin that untill I can run linux for a year on a PC without messin somethin up.
