It’s simple: the game disc has something special that no other disc has and the laser drive is customized to be able to tell this difference, essentially letting the underlying BIOS or OS know if the disc is legit or not. The 360 is no strange from at least a few of these options, and I’m gonna do a quick sum up of some of interesting hacks before I get to my main one.įor consoles with optical discs, the disc reader is an essential and important sector in preventing piracy and unlicensed games. If we have learned something from previous consoles is that there are a few different ways of hacking that can be applied to almost all of them: tricking the BIOS or OS into either ignoring the security or thinking it has passed, tricking the reader into telling the BIOS/OS that the security measures have been met, tricking a legit game into loading our own code, and many other. Before I get to that, let me show you some important 360 hacks that, while I do not care for them, they are actually pretty cool. Along with the PS3, the Xbox 360 was a really tough machine to hack, but it still fell victim to hackers, specially due to a big time mistake made by Microsoft.
