Commodre4Eva Releases TS-H943 DVD Firmware Hack for Xbox 360
Two months ago, we reported on a flaw of the Xbox 360 DVD firmware that may allow hackers to put in their own custom firmware. It seems like Commodore4Eva has picked up on that flaw.
Shortly after releasing a working Xbox1 DVD firmware, he now presents us with a firmware for the Xbox 360 Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943 DVD-ROM drive. This DVD firmware will allow users to play back-up copies and pirated games in Microsoft’s next-gen console.
For the firmware to work, you would need raw/unmodified dumps, patching (security sector on ISO and DVD drive key on firmware), and DVD + DL (double layers) recordable discs. Included in this hack is a second firmware that will allow you to extract the security sector (what you patch on the raw ISO) from an original disc with the TS-H943 drive connected to a PC. However, if you’re 360 has the Hitachi-LG drive, this firmware hack will not work. Said drive calls for a different firmware.
Now that we have a seemingly working DVD firmware for the Xbox 360, dare we hope for one for the Playstation 3? Commodore4Eva promises there will be. Let’s just wait and see (and cross our fingers at the same time?).
