How long will it take to crack Xbox One for offline play?

Whelp, MS has just announced that they are ditching DRM and 24/7 online requirements. So this thread is now a moot point. Ditch bundled Kinect 2.0 and we'll talk.

Back off aliens. A little bit of my hope in humanity has been restored. I SAID BACK OFF!!!!!

 

Either way you were willing to take an Anal probe

 

It'd still be better than MS spying on me...

 

Not a question of when it will be hacked/cracked, but when it would be made public...

 

Even if the spies were Tina Wood and Morgan Webb? if they were watching me...I'd preorder now

 

I Heared the camera can be shut upped. But the Microphone still can't be shut up.

 

Please cite a source. The Famicom had *zero* protection against unauthorized software so I really don't understand how this statement could be true. The only thing that would stop people from developing for the Famicom without being a licensed developer was having to get knowledge of how the system worked themselves. You do give an example of people that did exactly that. But I would like to see where this Nintendo actually believing the Famicom was unhackable comes from.

 

yes because that's what they want to do.

watch you eat cheetos and play skyrim for 8 hours.

 

The DSi hacked publicly a long time ago. The reason it isn't popular was because you need a old version of the firmware (the firmware was old when the hack was public) and you also needed one of 3 possible DSi ware games. The problem was that since the firmware needed is outdated, you are no longer able to puchase one of the games needed and if you update to do so or already updated, you can't downgrade to preform the hack.

Also, If this is as bad as some people speculate (the 24 hour checks), then more people would be driven to do it. An example would be fan translations. Some Japan only games (like Mother 3) take years to be translated, but games like Pokemon get translated within a month or two and the game is planned to be released fully translated anyway.
In simpler words, more people want removed -> more who try to remove it -> faster results (at least I think this analogy works)

EDIT: 200th post

 

Hey, they wanna be entertained as well.

 

Then they'd be bored with me. I'd be playing some crappy new Sonic game...

ON PS4 BABY!!!

 

Eventually somebody's gonna find some little tidbit of script showing that Microsoft can turn them on in an instant, that they are tracking your IP, chat logs, voice calls etc. I bet you.

 

Stick with the security ring on the disc, like the Saturn - and then you force people to use a modchip to hack it. So far nobody has found an exploit to get the Saturn to boot a CDR... without a chip.

If a modchip becomes essential then you already exclude just about every 'casual pirate' out there - most people can't solder - and don't fancy taking the risk either.

Will it be hacked? I dunno, as everyone says, there's no system that is truly unhackable (so far) Even big clunky cartridge based systems got big clunky add-ons to make them play backups. The question is, will it be hacked because M$ screwed up the security and stupidly left the doors wide open, or because some skillful hacker gets the better of them? That's the bit that interests me...

There are chips out now that only require soldering for the power wire and 1 other wire depending on revision. I don't think you can get much better than that now.

 

Hate to break it to you, but there were some things revealed recently about these sites may have heard of called Google and Facebook...
