At the
moment the Xbox360 is probably the most attractive option for crackers and
therefore it comes at no suprise that people are already trying to bypass the
security of this console. While it is expected that it will be very difficult
and maybe even impossible, the DVD file system has already been determined and
the first ISO has been released, for educational purposes of course.
The ISO has been released by a group called Team Pi
and besides the release of the ISO they also made a tool available that helps in
reading the files inside the ISO file. The ISO is pretty useless for normal
users, it will not boot on the Xbox 360.
also released an open-source tool to extract these releases (basicly it's an 'x360-ISO extractor') so you can check out the files in the image. It will NOT work on original discs as a PC DVD-ROM can't read those. Just like the original Xbox (xdvdfs) the 360 does not use the ISO9660 or UDF filesystem for the content on game DVDs. This tools allows you to extract the files from an image in the 'Xbox 360 DVD file system', it does NOT bypass the protection that prevents you from reading an original Xbox 360 disc on your PC. |
