Yes. Most people don't realize that modding your xbox in anyway does not get you in trouble...except when something breaks and you don't have a warranty anymore for it. What gets you in trouble is when you copy and use copied games.... Thanks for thinking clearly about this....
They pirated games. That is the main reason they would go. Modding an Xbox would not make them go to jail but by diasbling the copy protection then placing the games on there for sale. That would be breaking the law.
another thing you can get is like this new hardrive that lets u save games onto the hardrive because my mates got it and he just rents games and saves em onto his xbox but for my ps2 id raither buy the games so i can take em round my mates and play em etc but iv never wanted a xbox they bore me
WOW!!! One long sentence that had no structure and made no sense. You can use your original HDD on the Xbox to copy games, it just has a limited amount of space...and the PS2 sucks because it does not have a HDD. Without a HDD, you cannot make your PS2 do stuff it wasn't intended to do...and that bores me.
It does disable copy protection by allowing it to run unsigned code... and the xbox unlocks the harddrive itself with or without modding it(or else you get an error due to a bad eeprom) it takes no skill to copy the game, stick it in, and select copy to harddrive(unleashX that is). and PS2 runs homebrew..read up buddy
Still no interest in PS2, although you seem well informed. Copying games, while to the harddrive might be fun, is a lot more difficult and time consuming than that if you plan on burning them to a disk...as I do (for backup purposes only!!! ^_^ ). And you are very correct about the locking and unlocking of the HDD on the Xbox. My bad (I guess it takes a real man to admit when he is wrong).
I find using Qwix to rip the dvd, then removing all the stuff to make it fit a dvd9 alot harder then just "Copy Game Disc"
In GUY anything goes when it comes to copyright we have no laws aganist it yet.......................
I don't do that. I connect it to a wireless router via crossover cable (although a regular networking cable will work just fine), ftp into it and download the files. Then create an ISO out of it and burn to a DVD. It runs just fine that way and really only takes a little knowledge about ftp-ing and creating ISOs and a lot of time (on average about 20 minutes). Plus, I still have the original HDD; therefore, only room for about 1 game. Two if I'm lucky.
