Its a shame it doesn’t persist through a reboot. I thought I was finally going to have a hacked 360, but I’m not reapplying this thing every time it turns on…
I’ve seen estimates between 30-70% failure rate for the race condition, even on this updated 1.2 version.
And then ok, the exploit is successful. Now you have to install the custom launcher. Hope you like the default theme otherwise you’re now configuring that each and every time too. I didn’t get this far in the guide but now I imagine you also need to install the ISO manager that launches the games. Whoops, there’s always some weird collection of dependencies that you’ll probably have to tweak. Remember wii ios’s? God, what the heck was that. Then you lose power and have to do all of this over again?
Have you ever modded a console? The exploit is only step one.
To be fair there’s no article, just a video of a guy off camera talking about his Xbox, not exactly engaging.
I dug through the start of some guide on github, and nothing jumped out at me that the stuff remains configured. Maybe there are pieces stored on the jump drive afterward, but if it does they aren’t saying it very loudly. That’d definitely help convince me to try it.
Who am I kidding, I’m trying it the first time I come across a 360. I just don’t see myself using it regularly
I imagine there would still be tons of cheaters even if it caused them physical pain every time they cheated, lol. What a great, brilliant, stupid idea for a video that masterfully weaved in his sponsor.
Basically Homeless is an absolute treasure. The gas powered PC (and followup) are a personal favourite but all his build videos and his Stupid Setups are absolute gold. Using a printer as a monitor was another highlight.
It’s not a dumb video and it’s not an edge case. It’s a great video that goes straight to the point, has timestamps, explains in detail how the exploit works and how consistently, and showcases it.
The exploit is BadUpdate v1.2, an evolution of the previously known BadUpdate, which was great as a proof of concept but not very useful in practice, as it required an average of 30 minutes to work, had a success rate of about 30%, and needed to be applied every time the console was rebooted (on a console with no sleep mode, may I add).
By comparison, as shown in the dumb video, the new version of BadUpdate works flawlessly in about a minute (10 max), and has a far greater success rate of about 80%, according to the creator. It can be launched from a USB stick and requires no additional software or hardware modification to the console, and most importantly, works on all X360 and not just earlier editions.
If you’re too lazy to click on a link, fine, but I’d suggest at least not acting so confidently when saying things you know nothing about.
The exploit is a race condition that requires precise timing and several other conditions to be met for it to trigger successfully. As such it can take a while for that to happen.
Which means that, sometimes, you run the code but it simply fails. When it happens, you can turn off the console and try again.
If i remember correctly, some memory address that needs to be overridden by the exploit is randomized on startup. The only way to find it is to just write to a random address, which often fails
You should re-read the discussion, because I’m pretty positive you didn’t even get the topic.
We are talking about being able to play pirated games and homebrew apps on the X360. Of course that doesn’t happen in the wild. Unless you think that I woke up one day with a modded PS1.
Uh. I never see thumbnails on my posts on either my app (Lemmy) or pc (either the standard lemmy site or Alexandrite). Maybe Voyager has a built-in functionality that allows it to fetch the thumbnails frok YT when they are missing in the post itself?
Back on Reddit, there were even complaints that EA's anticheat was conflicting with Riot's anticheat. Yep, now you potentially need two different installations of Windows to run each of your games. At this point, you would need to buy several SSDs and a SSD extension (or an external USB reader, since USB speeds nowadays are relatively fast enough to afford running those games from an external drive), then install each game (and operative system) in a different one, and swap between them before booting, just like a cartridge. Same would go, of course, for your actual main GNU/Linux drive that contains your actual personal data - that way, the anticheat can't even see your personal information, as it'd physically unplugged from your computer. And since Windows checks the license per motherboard, not per drive, you should be able to recycle the activation key between your Valorant "cartridge" and your Battlefield "cartridge". At this point, paying for a dedicated game console and the online pass starts becoming attractive...
...That, or just boycott multiplayer games altogether. If your group of friends doesn't mind, of course.
Didn’t this only happen if you tried to run both games at the same time, which realistically should never be happening? The only time this might trigger is if one anti-cheat misses or drops the command to close for whatever reason and keeps running while the game is closed and you go to play the other game instead.
Both anti-cheats could just whitelist each other, though. Anti-cheats already have software whitelists, there is no reason they can’t add each other. That automatically solves the problem without the consumer or developer needing to do anything other than update their software to the newest version.
