Technical Analysis of XBox Save Game Hack

DJPenguin writes "There is an excellent article at the XBox Linux Project that describes exactly how the XBox savegame hack works. It details how the author went to great lengths to hide exactly what was going on. It turns out the exploit code is hidden within an image of Tux himself!" An enlightening read, to say the least.

    Likewise, how can you defend the GC's smaller library, which also has less variety?

    Care to back up this statement? The Gamecube has over 200 games out for it. The only genre that it really lacks is RPGs, and -- oops! the XBox doesn't have many of those either.

    If you count the Gameboy Player, the 'Cube can play over 1500 games.

    but it seems stupid to complain about how terrible a console is that many people seriously do enjoy, with sales numbers to prove it.

    Likewise, it seems stupid to complain about how talentless Britney Spears is, since many people enjoy the music she performs, and the RIAA has sales numbers to prove it.
