Hacked Xbox1 Backwards Compatibility v5829 Leaked Posted by XanTium | March 16 00:16 EST | News Category: Xbox360

A hacked version of the Xbox1 Backwards Compatibility v5829 (November 2007) has been leaked yesterday. It wasn't supposed to be out (yet), but as it's all over the internet now I guess we could just mention it too. Was originally made for devkits, but should work just fine on jtagged homebrew 360s too: [QUOTE] I've attempted to remove any limits on the emulator, although i left in game ratings checks in case you dont want your little ones to play violent games :) This can be toggled in the dashboard anyway. The following hacks were done to the emulator: * Xbe signature checks removed (lets you run unsigned code) * Xbe section hash checks removed (lets u run hacked xbes) * Game region checks removed (region free baby!) * Game media checks removed (play games from your hard drive) * Debug/Devkit xbes supported (run your own xbox1 code) * Attempt to play unsupported games (doesn't mean it will work hehe) To install this, copy the Compatibilty folder to your devkits Y drive. You may want to remove any existing files, although this should overwrite all files. [/QUOTE] Note: it will boot (some) Xbox1 homebrew as well, however don't expect everything to work perfectly. And no ... XBMC will not run fully on it (don't expect video playback etc). Official Site: n/a, leaked Download: n/a (contains MS copyrighted code)

Nice!

Did anyone try to run the xb1 mame emulators?

Why?
Mame360 works fine...

thats sounds like a great idea, running an emulator on top of another emulator haha... Nice work though

Oh...but I sure do hope someone tries! (A major task, I'm sure. And their so tied up on the the non-Xbox versions, I doubt it'll happen) But just that fact that it loads, that's sweet!

If it'd work at least as good as it does on Xbox1 I'd be thrilled!

Would love to retire the Xbox1.

This is surprising news. I'll be very interested to find out which games run (and to what degree) that aren't on the official list (like Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath).

It's ran all the games i've thrown at it so far. Most homebrew apps didn't run though, or ran with problems, that I expected.

So far I've run these perfectly fine on my JTAG unit:

Fusion Frenzy NTSC
Halo 2 NTSC
Halo 1 NTSC
Halo 2 Killtrocity Modded Map discs (1 and 2)
Burnout 3: Takedown NTSC
The Simpson's Road Rage NTSC
Rallisport Challenge 2 NTSC
Jet Set Radio Future NTSC
Sega GT 2002 NTSC
Crimson Skies NTSC
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic NTSC

Latest T3CH XBMC Build, Quake3, and Windows ce.net (lol) did not load, or caused a hardlock, that's the only homebrew i've tried so far.

Why do i get prompt for a system update when i launch my xbox1 game (in this case project gotham 2) i have xbox live sign in disabled on my console and it's actually connected and starts downloading the update. hmm ? will that update mess up my jtag system?


quick edit- i had to configure the network options in the 360 settings. just make a fake gateway number and it can't connect. just thought you all should know! =)

I installed the files but my games wont run. I load the files onto my flash drive and launch the xbe with XeXmenu and it tells me the game could not start. I also tried burning it to a disk and the same thing happened. The only way I could get it to work was by creating a god file and using god2xb1. Anyone know why this is?

crosses fingers to see if otogi 1 and 2 works.

I had converted a few games the other day which ran fine - without xbox1 hacks.

I tried wallace & gromit project zoo and it said it was unsuported & wouldn't run, however after applying this hack the game now works fine, albeit a few sound glitches but the gameplay is 100%.

Thanks to the guys who released this one.

me too, i dont know what to do

Otogi 1 and 2 works perfectly!

So does The Suffering 1, didnt test 2. So does Burnout Revenge, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, MK Deadly Alliance, Obscure, Tenchu Return from Darkness.

They all work perfectly.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath doesnt work

how do you install this one?


cheers

Mame360 is great, I'm glad its out there, but there are a few isues with the emu. Some games don't work, which are working in newer versions (golden axe return of Death Addar is one), the vysnc issue sucks. It would be nice to have a filter there too.

My Son's favourite game - Midtown Madness 3 - won't load unfortunately

ISS 2 works, but there are issues - when there are more players on screen, it slows down gameplay compared to when there's only two or three players and it plays too fast!

There was talk about a replacement front-end to set the emulation options - anyone know any more about this?

Seeing as they already work on the 360 that's hardly surprising.

hey can someone help me?

where do i transfer the files to?

to the compatibility folder on partition 2 on the HDD. You should overwrite all of the files in there

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why didn't some1 think of this earlier, awesome dev work, Some comments tho:




I really only think it's worth ppl mentioning the games that the 360 couldn't boot normally.

Apparently someone found a way to get XBMC working on a 360 neway, I'm not sure why anyone would want any of the other XB1 apps (xcept cool novelty value)



yeah!!!! As cool as MAME360 is, it seems it's quite outdated patch-wise. No-one has released their source etc.. for this one. Pity as it only seems to run about 60% of what's out there. Wish someone could patch it ;-) HINT Nudge HINT |;-0 Pleeeaase.......

PS: Cool Xb1 Emu with all the restrictions pulled means I might not have to mod an old one I've got sitting just to play Matrix Reloaded etc.. Alltho an FTP internet client homebrew thingy would be cool, Maybe it could get around some of the restrictions on getting NXE to route on the interweb ;-) if u catch my drift.......

True, the games I posted earlier are covered under the backwards compatibility update from MS. That doesn't rule out that the person/people who made this hack broke something in the emu that causes glitches with games that once worked on the retail emu.

Getting a nice compiled list of what runs and doesn't run with the hacked emu would be nice, have one place to see what's good and what isn't even if it was covered under the retail update.

It would be enjoyable to see achievements for old Xbox 1 games (Halo, Halo 2, etc...). Even though these achievements would be superfluous, it would make me play the games through again.

Anyone able to test phantom crash please? My all time fave xbox 1 game, plays far too slowly on the normal 360, I also find it amazing that nobody has ever hacked this game up to make thier own levels and that, esp as there is only 3 maps in the normal game.

also can anyone tell me if i use my hard drive from my retail xbox live 360 on my jtagged will it mess anything up / get me banned or ? - I want to remove the xbox1 compatability from it to have a little more space as it`s only 20GB & i have 160GB in my jtagged machine that id welcome xbox1 compatability with

i`ve never had the guts to try it as i`m completely addicted to phantasy star universe & losing my account would kill me. thankyou fellas

bLiGhTy.

There was talk about a replacement front-end to set the emulation options - anyone know any more about this?

With this hack now a lot of game works like metal gear solid2

http://www.logic-sunrise.com/news-82677-xb...ment-hacke.html

I've been playing around with this. Got Beyond Good & Evil working (not officially supported) and tried the regionfree feature by booting Black NTSC on my PAL machine.

BG&E did not play in fullscreen, though. Looked like non-stretched 720x576 on my 720p resolution.

I'd like to know about this as well...

Not Rallisport Challenge 2.

where can i get this??

edit:
got it from modcontrol.com

This is big news. I still have an original xbox set up, but being able to dust off some of the games I bought back in the day (looking at you MGS2:Substance) and play them on the 360 is wicked.

Props to those involved with making this happen.

I would also love to hear more about how to set the emulation options. Anyone got a clue?

Tried it yesterday with my (g)old XB1 DVD+R DL backup.
Runs pretty good!!! Just a few bugs...

THX for releasing this finally!

All my games work except these:

Soul Calibur 2
Tony Hawk 3 (2 and 4 work fine)
Prince of persia warrior within (the two other POP works fine)
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (GTA 3 and Vice City work fine)

Wonder why

All are supported except Prince of Persia.

Beyond Good and Evil boots, has some flickering issues in some parts, FPS during the hillya hoverboat areas is like 5fps, barely playable, game also has a tendency to freeze an image into the frame buffer when Peyj cutscenes show you something special, which continuously gets redrawn obscuring your view, if you trudge through you can get it to go away though

I just tested some of the unsupported xbox games i have and here is list.
ALL of them WORKED Great!!!!

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell Stealth Action Redefined
Madden '08
Tiger woods '05
Fight Night Round 3

Someone should realy make a "Hacked XB1 Compatibility List"

I can confirm FAHRENHEIT PAL works on my NTSC 360

I suppose it goes without saying that people shouldn't be using this with xbl profiles? Will these games show up in a user's games played list?

This is pretty exciting!

This reminds me of when the Playstation emulator was unlocked for the PSP.

I have to dig my jtaged 360 outta storage fast!

Yeah they show up with xbox icon. not game icon.

Tried NFS Carbon yesterday and it ran pretty well, just some fps drops here and there but still playable.

And UnleashX runs flawlessly, it can play MP3's as well

so can NXE....

Wow! This is awesome! Thanks!

If you are not happy with recent development on the scene just don't say it.
I know NXE can do mp3 and a lot of thing that the xbox 1 emulator does BUT it's just one step over maybe something else.. who knows. People are not trying to search stuff, people are testing,developping and creating ideas. I'm a big fan of UnleachX dashboard and avalaunch dashboard so it's just fun to see all those old dashboard working on our jtag 360

mine won´t boot xbox1 games , when i put in the cd and press play i get e71, i tried with multiple games and none of them seems to work

Broken sword 3 , CSI , Golden eye rogue agent and pgr 2 thoose are the ones ive tried

anybody know how to fix that problem ?

thx

Does any know if this works on a memory unit?
I don't have a harddrive

you need the hard-drive. i got a 20gig on ebay a few weeks ago for... $19.99, not bad yeah.


so this lets us play most of the old xbox 1 games... i guess back-ups too?

if any emu has been tried please list them.

do you have the compatibility partition set up properly?

Does this mean we can now launch XBE's from XeXmenu?

And will this work on my 320 gb hdd that I formatted in XBReboot?

Why are you still on XeXMenu? It's been forgotten in favor of FreeStyle which has been skyrocketting in development since it became open source. The latest version can launch .xbe's.
