NME-360 Chip Released to the Public
Posted by XanTium | July 11 17:10 EST

 
Team Underdog informed us their NME-360 chip is ready and already shipping to resellers. A list of official resellers will be available on their site soon. The NME-360(info) device, a chip that will allow to patch the DVD firmware of the Xbox 360 drive 'on-the-fly' and only when needed (so not for original x360 discs):
[QUOTE]
Today the first batch of our spectacular NME-360 Modchip got shipped to resellers. We are happy to have the chip released within the announced timeframe. You will see samples popping in to the major news websites pretty soon for their reviews.

I don't understand why news like this has a forum topic about it. Theres really nothing to ask/explain because its all basically right there for you to read.

agreed
but its nice to discuss
about the only thing i don't really like about it is that it wont work with the backups we have already burnt
but i love the fact that less and less people will be bricking there drives now

Well, hell.. Im gonna buy it..

Its just a shame I will have to re-make all of my games just because I cant get the freakin firmware to flash on my pc..

Stupid non-windows recognizing Toshiba drive.. I WAS looking to pay someone to flash the firmware for me, but this seems to be my last hope..

someone should test this out...i dunno if it'll work. but it may give us a better idea to the chips detectability. if someone could:
- do a dump of original firmware on, w/ backup in drive
- do a dump of original firmware w/ NME chip w/ backup in drive

dunno if that'd work...but it might blink.gif

Have they provided a solution, using their chip, to backup your original games? Will they rely on freeware methods currently in existence? If so, how does this make their chip look?

Alright, so we can play back up games on the 360... not so impressive. To me it's still just like a hopped up version of the PS2 until it can play homebrew. In fact, I'm not even thinking of buying one until I can replace my orig xbox with one that will play emulators. Granted this is a good step towards a real modded box... but when are we going to see it play homebrew apps? That would be a real modchip.

I think all this chip really does is encourage piracy. Plain and simple. If you are not capable of firmware flashing your XBOX 360 dvdrom, even with all the relatively easy to use releases that are out now, how are you going to accomplish figuring out how to extract the SS sector out of your LEGITIMATE games, extract bin, and combine the two to burn? This chip is about nothing but making money, for both chip installers and mad dog.

You are right about that. Still, I think it is hard to judge which news does need a forum topic and which doesn't. It could be the other way around: have some interesting news with no discussion topic included.

Maybe a vote... new forum: News Discussion. No new topics can be created by the users. Every item gets it's own topic and all users can discuss that item in it.

as said, it's for people who are interested. to those bitching that front page news shouldn't be discussed and those saying things like "who gives a shit"... "fuck em", why you guys even replying if you're not interested. ph34r.gif
