Dead Or Alive Hackers Get Creative

Thanks to the Gaming Age forum regulars for pointing out that skin mods to the in-game characters in Dead Or Alive 3 for Xbox are getting ever-more complex, thanks to sites like Ninjahacker.net, who are going far beyond basics such as the DoA Xtreme Volleyball nude patch and developing completely new character skins for its sister fighting-game title, such as Zack as Darth Maul and Christie as Storm from the X-Men movie. These very unofficial hacks only work with an Xbox that's been modified in software/hardware, however.

I have an original version of SimCopter.

Care to explain the guys on the last level for me?

I think that this 'hacking' is a great thing. I don't really see a difference between this and making a mod for Q3A or UT2k3. Maybe the n00d patch was a little useless, but adding this kind of 'mod-ability' to a (supposedly) closed console system is good. For those who have chosen to mod their XBox, this extends the functionality of the games, making you pick them back up after you may be all done with them.
