New Xbox 360 Dashboard Update Targets Modders

4.1
Microsoft has released a mandatory update, with the key feature supposedly that it re-enables the option to play games straight from turning the system on.

However, it seems as though this was just a smoke screen as they attempt to battle against their own wave of modders, which constantly pirate games on their system.

Numerous users were reporting that following the update, modded copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach no longer worked as flashed firmware disc modifications were now blocked.

BuckFutter modders = piraters.
picnotrelated?



no you're wrong

a modder goes to the store and BuyS the game and then sets out to "mod" certain aspects of the game

a pirate steals the game off a torrent site and then burns it to disc. The pirate is a thief who need to be stopped before they ruin gamming

if i had to choose i'd take a modder who pays for a game over a thief who steals the game all day long


Modders ruin great games, what has a theif done. Stole 60 dollars from a billion dollar company woe is me

eventually the modders and hackers are going to go too far and then either the companies will walk away and let it turn into another "psp". or they'll just stop making games cause there wont be any real profit in it anymore.

SmokeDizzy420 They already got the ppf patchs out for MW2 and Reach, you need to make sure you have the right release though, because thats what k3rn3lif used to make the patchs.


You can apparently use ABGX to patch the games now, no need for ppf-o-matic. ABGX will download and patch the iso for you
