TS-H943 DVD Firmware Hack for Xbox 360 Out in the Wild
>> Commodore4Eva, who already released a working modified Xbox1 DVD firmware some weeks ago, now released a firmware for the Xbox 360. The release has already been tested by SniperKilla and Arakon and seems to be working fine.

The modified DVD firmware has been released for the Toshiba-Samsung H943 Xbox 360 DVD drive. Just like Commodore4Eva's modified Xbox1 FW, it will need raw/unmodified dumps (of same region as your console if game is region locked), some patching (security sector on ISO and DVD drive key on firmware), DVD+DL (yes double layers!) recordable discs and a DVD burner that allows to put DVD+R DL booktype to DVDRom to work. This release comes with tools to make this all as easy as possible. Also included is a 2nd firmware that will allow you to extract the security sector (what you have to patch on the raw ISO) from an original discs with your TS-H943 drive connected to a PC.
Of course ... try all this at own risk. Your warranty will be broken, it's certainly possible to break your Xbox 360 if you don't know what you are doing. Chances are also high MS will very fast find a method to detect this firmware via LIVE.

Just to add I was speaking to a mate yesterday who had a stand at Bowlers on Saturday. He said the some guy in the stall opposite had a 360 open and was soldering a modchip (4 wire's). Now this guy isn't really into consoles or gaming and not the sort of guy who makes things up.


PS

Oh I think it was Bowlers first with the orginal XBOX

lol it definatly 110% wasnt a modchip he was soldering, the only posible thing it could have been is adual firmware chip.

Well Guys You might be glad to know samsung firmware is now upto v3 which now includes
a few new good features

Stealth Media implemented into firmware.
Backups now appear exactly as original disk

also 0800 ripping firmware is built into the main firmware
so you dont have to reflash to be able to rip
all you to is insert a special 0800 enable dvd into drive to
activate the ripping part of the firmware, then when you insert
an original or backup it will revert back to original extreme firmware

NICEEEEE :D
