Damn, I could tell this guy was lying from the first post. Of course, it might be cause I know quite about about Xbox piracy protection, but that's no excuse for you guys.
Here's a tip in the future, if someone doesn't sound like they know what they're talking about, they don't. The guys who hack into these consoles are complete geeks, and you can easily tell OldSkool has no clue what he's talking about.
I mean, without getting into detail, he never mentioned the type of DVD burner he was using, and if he spent $4000 on it, he should know a lot about burning DVDs. He also just said "black DVD" which is complete crap. No mention of the type of DVD disc, because Xbox does not use the standard discs.
From the sounds of it, he walked into Daddy's work, and tried copying the DVD, brought it back and it worked perfectly. Doesn't work like that. Still need to bypass the regional code detection, and burn the disc with the write encoding, and so on.
On a side note, Q was bound to be pirated. But GC is also being pirated using the ports underneath the console to attach external CD-ROM devices and then have that read the disc and run the game. Problem is if devices like the 64DD are planned, this will always be a way to pirate the system. It checks the slot on the bootup, and can run games from it too. Easy piracy.
