Title: XC2C64A CoolRunner-II CPLD development board and XBox Glitch
Post by: vikviper on August 30, 2011, 10:09:47 pm
I bought one of your development board and I wanted to use it to follow this tutorial on Reset Glitch Hack for XBox 360.
Can you tell me what are the corresponding pins on your board of the ones used on Diligent CMod C2 board?


Please help me!

I'm sorry, I've never seen the digilent board and I don't know anything about the XBOX.

How about finding the solution together?

OK, can you get us some information about the Diligent board you mentioned? Some sort of datasheet or a schematic. Also which pins are used?

I would really prefer nobody talks about illegal exploits on our company board. Actually, I will enforce it.  We do not, and cannot appear, to endorse that use of our hardware.

If it isn't illegal, then I apologize, but I assume it is a DMCA violation. Clearly you're doing something Microsoft went out of the way to stop. While I do not agree with those laws, and I think consumer protection laws should make all DRM illegal, this business is bound to follow the law as written.

I'm sorry, I would love to help you out with the project, but I'm not going to tangle with Microsoft and the DMCA. This is well-worn territory and it's pretty clear from years of trolling slashdot that in the US a business cannot help you mod your XBOX.

I would encourage you to check out some open source gaming systems that don't have silly restrictions, such as the Gameduino, Fuzebox, or Uzebox:

The authors of the glitch claim loudly it's NOT ILLEGAL; anyway you could, nonetheless, help me in spotting the differences between your board and the other of diligent.
Even if you're not interested in helping in this precise project, I thnk you would be really pleased to see your sells skyrocket.
You won't give any direct support, indeed, and what people does with your test board is none of your business. Helping out in making it work the right way, anyway, should be your quality assurance.

Please let me add the required link to show you the other board, so you can spot the differences...

I would not want to see sales skyrocket due to questionable activities, it just means a ton of noobs and Microsoft breathing down my back. That's a pain in the neck I don't need. That's not what Dangerous Prototypes is about.

It is none of my business, I agree. However it is too late, any support I give will be direct support. Your intent is clear. I also read Hack a Day, I know what's going on ;) I help you get free games but then I get to spend the next 10 years going bankrupt in court, where will you be then?

I assume if we are the sole source for these boards right now there will be a tutorial using it on some site soon. We sold out immediately after the hack was published. There will probably also be kits with full instructions on ebay out of china...

I'm really sorry, that's just how it is.

even though Microsoft has shown to be better about hacking than Sony, I STRONGLY agree, and would urge forum members not to engage in activities inside our forum that could be potentially used for copyright infringement.
