Comment on Exploring the Halo 1 System Link Protocolparent

Comments

The child in me from 20 years ago dreams of a software tool downloaded from a questionable website that jailbroke an xbox just by putting in the IP address.

I mean, minus the USB->controller wire "hardware mod", it has been perfected to "download a memory card gamesave", "have a non-GOTY edition of a game" and you were a few minutes away from being soft-modded, ready to hack your cached Halo maps to swap the needler texture in for the wall textures, and change character textures to brighter versions (gummibear hack, maybe?).

Makes me want to wipe the XBMC xbox in my parents basement and break out my Splinter Cell and memory card just to do it all again.

I hear that; I wish I was cool enough back in the day to release a tool on xbins. I'll have to settle for retro computing.
