That usually applies to any modded X-box where you can't disable the Mod Chip. I don't think Halo 2 is any different in that regard, apart from the fact that they'll probably police it more heavily. It's always been the case (apparently) that if you were detected on live, they could reset some of your flash bios params.... (o'er....), making your xbox unbootable.
BTW, i'm selling the collectors edition on TradeMe, if anybody wants it i'll pull the auction and you can have it a *little* cheaper. Thats assuming i can still pull the auction.
Never been a fan of being told what I can and can't do with hardware I've bought. Probably why I've never bothered getting into consoles.
There'll always be work arounds and hacks, and they can't stop it.

I think
Ive run out of fucks to give
crap, I guess that's what happens when you combine consoles (steriotypically purchased by people of lower than PC gamer intelligence, if you would allow the generalisation) and Microsoft (no explanation required)

Me, I'm just envious of anyone with *time* to play games, be they on filthy consoles, or on desktop computers of the utmost l33tness.

Yeah its a bit dodgy doing anything with xbox live if you're modded.
Even though I cant play online, I still luvs it![]()
You can lock a modded xbox's drive and boot off the original bios so ms have no way of knowing whether it's modded or not.
Does that apply to permanently modded ones? Or the disableable onessesses.Originally Posted by MrMelon
Yes even as we speak the online Xbox hacking community is rallying to this new challenge. Apparently MS introduced a new banning check to Xbox live the day before Halo2 was released. The most popular theory going around is that this check looks at your hard drive serial and eprom. Also it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whatever game you are playing (i.e. not Halo 2 specific).
People that have been banned have been able to put back in their original HD, eprom and get back on again.
Give them another week or 2 and a new bios will be out to defeat this latest attempt by Microsoft.....
No they check for the bios and also if the hard drive is original. People that have upgraded their hard drive and used the original bios have been banned from xbox live.Originally Posted by MrMelon
Threads like this just make me feel old and marginalised...
Think I'll go home early, play with bike parts and see if there is beer in the fridge...

I have a stock Xbox. I was thinking of getting one chipped as since I moved flats it is now my only (crap) DVD player, and I can't play anything but Zone 4 on it. I'm not likely to ever use Xbox live.
So...
If someone has a chipped Xbox that can play all zone DVDs, and would like to swap it for a stock one so they can play Xbox live, please PM me...
I modded our xbox and had it so I could turn off the mod chip for the purpose of playing using the original bios should I ever wish too, xbox live was never a possiblity here with crap dialup internet, but i wanted to chip the xbox so I could use it on the network I have at home, as a computer, you can get xbox versions of linux etc, very cool machines xboxes really, I still have the chip cos the xbox shat it's hdd, thanks to a certain person who lives here repeatedly booting it up and turning the power button on and off every few secondsOriginally Posted by MrMelon
Are you bloody drinking, AGAIN, Quasi? Do you NOT follow any of the "current events"???Originally Posted by Quasievil

Yeah, I just read up that you can upgrade the hard drive of the Xbox, and install other hardware parts, practically turning it into a computer, running linux. I have no clue how to do that at the moment, and I probably haven't got time to bother learning.
