if it doesn't even run a signed, unsupported xbe, what makes you think it runs an unsigned, unsupported xbe?

1x is NOT good. use 2.4x.

yep.

yes.

always DL, and always +r.

it's not that easy, since you will have to find a fitting plug first and solder an adapter. I don't think anyone's gonna bother for $#!t and giggles.
but even if the 360 accepted the drive, it would not accept 2 dvdroms at the same time.

there is an XBH chat. and I for one am not willing to have a public applet where I end up spending 23 hours a day kicking idiots asking for firmwares, games or spamming questions every 15 seconds when they don't get an answer.

on the xbox website or through live. ONLY if you have a HD, of course.

it turns off when you don't have a videocable plugged in.

of course they still work.

you have to build a duallayer image with SS and all. the instructions come with the xtreme firmware actually.

you will most likely never be able to recover as long as you use an ali chipset, cause it will continue to randomly freeze.

it's a known bug and the developer is looking into it.

neither. your 360 is simply dying.
soon you'll get 3 red lights.

it is a security thing, and memory units actually identify as TWO usb devices to a PC and the 360. without the security device, the 360 will not recognize it.

the mech hack can not function, the hypervisor specifically blocks buffer overflows, which is what the hack is.

and for the 5 millionth time, the only way to fix a hitachi currently is to desolder the flash chip and reflash it in a programmer.

nothing at all, cause they're dummies. they're in the "compatibility" folder as far as I remember.

then you didn't look very closely. there are in fact xbe files, but they're 808 byte small dummies.

a memdump dumped hitachi FW is not encrypted.
