Is there away to play a unpacked xbla and make it think its a full game and not a demo ? I remember seeing something about modding the xex in a hex editor.
I dont have ida anymore nor remember on how to do that, but it involves "XContentGetLicenseMask" and the value to full game is 0x01. also in the sdk docs having "XContentGetLicenseMask" null = trial. hence if the xex is not in a container with that flag it be trial.
IDA doesn't edit your xex, you need a combination of IDA and a Hex editor to apply your patches. IDA is just for disassembly and finding what you want.
No wonder i could not save changes, thought i had to buy the full version. IDA is not for me, i tryed copying what you did to get the debug menu in dead rising by pokeing a bite. Never did work that out. Could not even find it in a hex editor...
