Forums - Gaming - Hacked Xbox One Homebrew Consoles “will Likely be a Reality in Short Time”, Claim Hackers

This is disgusting and I really hope people have the decency to avoid hacked consoles/games. By supporting this you are taking money away from people who have given years of their lives to create something, you are stealing, you are destroying gaming as a hobby, and you are ruining lives. I hate piracy in all of its forms.

realistically, it won't make much of a difference, but it might be used to justify re-DRMing, although it wouldm't address the problem if the issue is actually on hardware, especially cpu they might not be able to flip a switch this time.

This is what I fear most.

Wow, this was quick if its true! I am gonna keep an eye on this one. Might get an x1 instead of a ps4 after all but we will see

Previous consoles/handhelds took years to get hacked, x1 took only months? Jeez


I dont want to advice you. But please try to get legit games for xbox one. Things like these effect legit gamers and gaming industry in general.

Don't worry, my ps3 and wii is hacked but I buy legit games for them all the time

My big issue is usually, I buy the physical game and then a few months later, I lose the damn disc. Oh and publishers putting nonsense like on-disc DLC and 1hr games

Tsk tsk tsk, so careless..



Well, they actually ran some version of win 8 there, so its no surprise.

And people were like: my privacy and liberty is compromized by this drm police. Yeah, rigth. Its all about getting games for free.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Not really. BTW at this point of time it was already possible to play pirated games on 360.
It will take several months for this to happen on X1.

Really? I thought it was longer than that? I am trying to find this article I read once that said how long it took for each console but I can't seem to find it. But oh well, I will take your word for it



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

If this is true I can predict the X1 will do good now in china :D



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

i dont think it is true... we still doesn't have homebrewed 3ds and wii u... and from previous reports... hacking wii u would be the easiest thing in the world... if this is true then microsoft did it themself...

 

history recall best selling consoles are easily hacked... wii, ps, ps2, ds... and psp was so popular worldwide with the .iso in torrents.



 

I think the main issue with this hack is how easy it will be to apply. Simply update the console. This was almost how easy dream cast was.
