Which isn't bad, considering nothing was released to us commercially...I really should go grab a semi-next-gen system, most likely XBox or PS2...

Both the ps3 and X-box 360 have hardrives, more and more methods to hack the old x-box are used, I know the x-box is basically dead. Already a hacker has gotten into the x-box 360, I think there might not be a need for this board, but give it a year or so, and we will have one for the x-box 360.

The problem with the xbox hacking, at least as far as I've been able to determine, is that it's incredibly limited. The trainers as they're being called are nothing more than simple write only codes. I haven't seen any that weren't just "infinite health" or "all weapons" type crap... At least one of the trainer engines is open source, so somebody motivated enough (and also somebody with the xbox sdk stuff) could make a real proper cheat device type software.

Apparently, xbox hacking consists of:

A modified xbox
Some kind of debug bios
The Evolution-X dashboard
Part if not all of the official m$ xbox sdk
Possibly some homemade software for finding codes
And an ethernet cable...

I'm suspecting that the sdk stuff might not be needed depending on the method. I have yet to try doing this yet (especially since I can't run commercial games right now).
