Is This Real(snes Homebrew On 360) Options

[nxtlidenno]

Well Either way I'm sure we will be seeing homebrew on the 360 soon anyway. On the front page xecuter has made another statement about working on getting homebrew running and they say its looking good so just a little waiting game now, But I'm sure it wont be long.

Do the math for the 3 games that looked to be installed. I dont know what to think. I hope its real.....but why Avalaunch?? Why not XBMC, that would be the better one to choose.

A comment to what 3rdnfnlbst was asking.....

I would have to say just as my opinion that this video is fake, based on that the fact that if this person was connected to live, and was still getting friends sign on and off, why, in the lower left corner, would it say No Link!, in order for him to link up with a PC he would have to enable DHCP. Seems kind of fishy to me...

The Avalaunch dash is running as an emulated game, the 360 dash is still running in the back ground. I'm sure if you set up the Ava configuration (before burning it do disk) it'll give you a "link".

Maybe you can only use avalaunch to get this to work, and the games could just be broken shortcuts, like when you uninstall some apps In windows and sometimes it does not remove the shortcut on your desktop, but the app is no longer on your computer.

YAY! for homebrew! I saw how he had 3(?) games when he went to Apps, and isn't Black not a very "big" game? That might allow him to place 3 games on one DL DVD. Because I have it for PS2 and if I remember right it wasn't even 1.5 gigs and I'm sure the others are the same way. Because I don't think the 360 would like those games on there, lol.

this looks perfectly real to me... i remember in the last post loads of disbelievers were saying "we want a video", but now you have one you still continue to complain its fake? that video looks perfectly believable to me, the message saying his friend signed in is perfectly normal for me, it happens everytime i sign on... what else looks fake in there?

[Tfizzle]

i sent him a message about the video on xbox live and his reply was...

"I am not allowed to disclose said information."


so who knows.... i think its real.

[Chancer]

This is another speculation thread with no technical content at all.
When something of this magnitude is released and real, one thing is certain XS will release the news immediately.
Moving to general chat (360)

but.....

when you add up the file size, its about 20 GB(stock 360 HD size). so i dont know. like it was said before, it could easily be faked but then again it could be real. i just hope its true.

I would gather that to emulate propally you would try and make the enviroment as native as possible (eg all the file structure correct and everything), but i thought that that 8gb or so was for the emulator which cuts into our small HDD space. you would not have 20gb just 8gb.

im calling fake to the video, but ive checked the pics through and thorugh and i cant fault them, so who knows

Ok i guess i could see what your talking about, but if this was burnt to a disc as an emulated game, would he be able to access those 3 games that are there? Maybe it is just a switch once it boots to the xbox screen on the 360, he switched inputs and it came up with the avalaunch dash. like not an input on the tv, maybe that tv only has 1 input and this person is using a switch box and switching it from there, wo you wouldn't see the input 2 come up on the screen.

I see some proof that may make this more beleivable for more people who dont beleive, if you look when he goes into the file manager, the partitions equal out to be around 20GB... hmm... sounds like the size of the only official availble xbox 360 hard drive to me?

A side note: The F partition has around 1700megs and E has around 3000 megs, i remember when I first got my 360 I checked the harddrive status in the dashboard and I had 17 gigs left and I thought it was weird since the hard drive is 20gigs. Well this seems to be the reason, it seems as if all the downloadable stuff goes to F, which is the space availble to us. And E must be the dashboard files and system files...

This definitly does not sound like a coincidence to me...

This is bs, I'll tell you why. 1gb=1,024mb, most hdd's are labeled gauging 1gb=1,000mb. So on a 20gb hdd you have 20,000mb rather than 20,480. Add up the space available on C (139mb), E (3,903mb), and F (16,607mb) in this video and you get 20,649 mb. That's more than the drive would have available if it were completely void of content. Not to mention X, Y, and Z, which are all 749mb. There's also Config Magic, dvd2xbox, XBMC, and the Ava files n' folders that take up space. Then you have Black, GTA III, and Madden '06. These games will not fit on a dvd together, so they must be on the hdd (at least another 6gb's, but not 100%sure on that).

If the video's creator is alleging this system is running the original hdd (which I assume he's eluding to by showing the hdd space as ~20gb) then this is total bs.

There's a reason only the screen is visible, come on guys.

[Tfizzle]

okay maybe its not a 20gb stock hard drive. maybe its a 40gb hard drive.........


you gotta rule that into the equation.

[B1gGuN]

I truly don't see that as a fake. If it is then the person has a hell of a talent at editing and stuff.

[yerac]

Have a feeling its is fake for a few reasons.

1) the bry117 mesage pops up and then he goes to the guide, but when an allert pops up and you click the guide button it goes that persons gamer card.

2) Im not sure if you even get those allerts when your are playing an xbox1 game (not 100% on this one.)

3) ther eis no turn off controller option, could just be wired.

4) the hard drive is larger than 20gig.

But i hope these are all wrong because homebrew on 360 would be sweet. i guess only time will tell.

The stuff could be on a DL dvd?

[mitch2025]

also what he could of done was recorded video of him using avalaunch and shit and merged it with a white screen that looks like the 360 is loading a xbox1 game. that way it would look like he is using avalaunch but is actualy watching a movie. this way he could still be online and use the guide and everything (ive actualy thought about doing this jsut to see reactions but im not that kind of jerk lol) anyways i hope to god its real. but we wont know for sure untill some better proof is revealed
