Globe 360 Dual Firmware DVD Mod with Drive-key Bypass Posted by XanTium | July 5 01:00 EST

Alcema posted on eurasia.nu about a new DVD firmware chip for the Xbox 360. It's a dual-fw style of mod (not a FW patch mod), but it has something special ... the FW you fash on this flashchip will not have to be patched with your DVD-key: [QUOTE] I want to signal the upcoming release of a new modchip for X360, Globe-360. This is not simply a dual-firmware mod, with this modchip you don't need to extract the drive-key from your console because it's PLUG&PLAY. Thanks to the ACTEL CPLD this modchip bypass the drive-key check; your original firmware stays intact all the time. There is no need for any firmware-reading or flashing, you can reprogram the on-board flash easliy with independent eprom programmer (aka Willem-prog) and replace it in the clean socket PLCC connector. More details (price, diagrams, how-to, resellers,etc) will be available soon. Features: * Plug&Play : DON'T NEED the extraction of drive-key from the original firmware of drive on your console, only install the chip and the "unsigned" firmware on-board will be boot . * Electronic Switch ON/OFF : enable or disabile the chip when turn-on your console by power button, you can check the state of chip by a led-indicator * Firmware-drive UPGRADE: you can use an upgraded firmware for better performance of your dvd-drive to reading dvd-r DL support ( eg: you should use on LG/Hitachi the firmware vers. 059 instead your original 047D or 46D). * Easy Reprogrammable Flash eprom: the on-board flash eprom is mounted on a socket connector for an easy and clean remove in order to fast reprogramming it. * COMPATIBILE whit ALL DVD-drive on the market (LG e SAMSUNG). * High reliability through ACTEL cpld technology.

That's... a lot of solder points

Still, progress in the 360 chip dev front.. I like that

Exactly... nice to see the chip-market starting to take off (perhaps things will get simpler and simpler).

ditto. my god that is a lof of solder points

seriously though i guess more competition on the front of the chips market may lead to cheaper prices

i have to say more appealing then the NME-360 chip, and even tho more wires needed, compatible with the xtreme rips so no waisted media



EDIT: lets see how this pans out and hope that we are not being bullshitted to again

you talking about the devil 360 fake that X-S was indorsing.

[KILLplaystation]

looks promising, although patching the key is not hard. You still gotta love progress

yes yes i am refering to that fake

Ok so this goes on the PLCC?? can someone please tell me what that means. Thanks

[jitster]

I hope something comes out where we can copy games like the Xbox 1 and PS2..

[littlestevie360]

PLCC is the package type of the chip

its saying that it has a socketable PLCC making it easy to program, its got to be soldered in normally tho by the looks of things

I hope something comes out where we can copy games like the Xbox 1 and PS2..

i dont think we will see anything like that for a while altho i could be wrong.

the thing is the dvd firmware patch expects the game to be like genuine media and doesnt like it when its burned in the usual way. this is only a first gen chip, hopefully we will see a homebrew capable chip in the near future

[xcalixxryderx]

so my question would be if you dont need to need your dvd-key does that mean you can slap any 360-dvdrom in and have it work?

[misterhoangdai]

lol i love how they make it sound so simple by using the term "Plug&Play"

* Firmware-drive UPGRADE: you can use an upgraded firmware for better performance of your dvd-drive to reading dvd-r DL support ( eg: you should use on LG/Hitachi the firmware vers. 059 instead your original 047D or 46D).

Did I miss something? Since when is this possible and where is the proof 059 gives beter dvd-r DL support?

its been possible all along if you removed the chip and programmed the other version firmwares onto it, as the 46,47,and 57 drives are hardware identical the difference is that they are recompiles so the offsets end up different, as for the reading i heard they are all the same

as to the other person who asked about the dvd keying, the answer is no, what it means is u can use the hacked firmware on the chip without having to get the key out of the dvd drive, it simply grabs the key from the original firmware and hands it to the xbox360
