I know that the Wii at the moment has a homebrew app as well as a custom firm ware. My next question is, do I need to connect my to the internet to play games that are soley offline? I of course refer my concerns to the UBI soft dilemma where you need to now play games even offline while connected to the internet.
I also ask if I need to have the game stealth patched if I just want to play offline. One more question, if you play a newer game does it try to update your if of course the requires firmware updates? Because if they do, Microsoft would try to get people to update their through games as well, thus maybe bricking the system if modded in anykind. My final question, thought the top one was, but if you do get caught with breaking their Terms and Rules, and you get 'banned', does your console cease to work or is it just banned from Xbox Live?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to point out I don't believe in piracy, I only believe in people should do what they want with their console, if it isn't hurting anyone, e.
And I am wanting to get an xbox and straight away flash it because I have on a number of accounts had my discs scratched from worn usage, not sure how tolerable HD discs are. You do not need to connect to xbox live to play games. The newest LT firmware that is flashed to the dvd drive will let you play all games. Updates that are on the game discs are for the xbox itself, and yes if you are not running the newest dash from MS then you will need to update before the game will play.
If you are caught and banned the console will still play games, you however will not be able to install games to the HDD and you will not be able to connect to xbox live.
Hope this answers your questions. Last edited: Mar 23, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Download the flashing software. In order to flash your drive, you will need to download the software designed for the process. There is a program called JungleFlasher which is designed specifically to flash Xbox drives.

JungleFlasher does not come packaged with these files for legal reasons. These firmware files change the way the Xbox DVD drive functions, allowing you to install custom software. Extract the JungleFlasher archive. After downloading JungleFlasher, extract the folder to an easy to access location on your computer. You do not need to install JungleFlasher in order to use it.

Flip the drive over and remove the four screws holding the panel in place. Remove the panel to expose the circuitry. You only need to do this for Lite-On drives. If you are using any other drive, you can skip this step. Power the USB connector tool. Connect the probe Lite-On only. Connect the probe cable to both the USB connector and the drive. Plug the end of the cable with the push button to the power connector on the DVD drive.
Plug the other end of the cable into the USB connector. Attach the probe piece to the small wire coming out of the probe cable. The probe should light up. This will allow data to be passed from your computer to the DVD drive. Plug the USB connector into your computer. Plug the connector into an open USB port on your computer. Avoid using a USB hub, as it will not provide enough power. You can use an extension cable if you can't reach a port.
More lights should appear on the USB connector when plugged into the computer. Part 4. Start JungleFlasher. Once the drive is connected to the USB tool and your computer, you can start JungleFlasher to begin the flashing process. Check your key status. Click the DVDKey 32 tab. This will display all the information on your drive's DVD key, which is essential for flashing. Unlock the drive.

Insert the unlock disc. After you are in Mode-B, click the Open button to open the drive tray. Insert the disc and then click the Close button. Click the 79 Unlock button to read the disc. The drive will eject the disc automatically when finished. This step is only required if you have a version 79 drive. Dump the drive data. In the "Flashing Options" section, make sure the "Dump Drive" option is selected, and then click the Read to Source button.
Save the drive data backup file somewhere easily accessible in case you want to restore the drive later. Click the Flash LT-Plus button. Click Yes when the program says that the flashing report is stable. Wait for the flashing process to complete. You can see the progress in the text box at the bottom of the window.
Once the flashing process is complete, return to the Hitachi GDR tab. The DVD drive will be unlocked automatically. JungleFlasher will begin reading the BenQ firmware files.
The writing process shouldn't take too long. Flip your disassembled Lite-On drive to find the circuitry board. The MPX01 point is located on the circuitry of the DVD drive, and is where you will need to probe during the flashing process. You can find the MPX01 point next to the large chip installed on the circuitry. Get ready to probe the drive. Click the PhatKey button and wait a few moments for the program to load. You are now ready to probe the drive.
Ensure that the light on the probe is on, indicating it is receiving power. Probe the drive. When the window pops up, press and hold the button on the probe cable. With the button held down, touch the probe to the MPX01 point.
Release the probe cable button while continuing to hold the probe on the point.
