Is it possible to join xbox(360) live-servers on your PC (without actually having an xbox) and vice versa?
I read some stuff about XBConnect, but I think that only routes your xbox through your PC's internet connection.
I remember being able to join Dreamcast servers running Q3 on a PC, and was wondering if the same applies to xbox live.
xbox(360) <=> PC

Let's just say it's the highest anti-warez-threshold right now, which 1337-h@xxor0rZ, like yourself, can surpass, but which I cannot.Grudge wrote:lol, yeah rightPlan B wrote:Well, you may be outcasting yourself into a gamingworld of yesteryear then, because SF seems to be an anti-warez-system that actually works.Grudge wrote:I'm not buying or installing any game that comes with StarForce, they can fuck right off.
It's not always easy to bypass. It works for some games but for most it dosen't work that well, for most people. The average user, that dosen't know a thing about it, would not be able to bypass it.
I'm sure SF4 will take at least a few months to a year to fully bypass.
It's an endless cat and mouse chase. When new ways to bypass it are found, they will just issue a quick patch to fix those methods. Rinse repeat.
And the developers of these anti-cracking techniques are only shortening the gap. Just a year ago, it wasn't as easy to get most games to run as it is today (and not just sf, it's also securerom, etc.)
Of course one might think that there's always a way to get around software protection, but the key is if it's worthwile in the long run. If it takes months or years to crack than maybe not. Ubi was succesful in protecting Splinter Cell 3 that way. In the critical 2 weeks sales period, heck for the next months, they sold well because the game was almost uncrackable (the first real sf3 game that was tough to break). It was finally sort of broken, but that was months later.

It's also the most intrusive one, and the one that cause most hardware problems for people. I don't like stealth drivers being installed on my computer, so I simply don't support games who use it by buying them.Plan B wrote:Let's just say it's the highest anti-warez-threshold right now, which 1337-h@xxor0rZ, like yourself, can surpass, but which I cannot.Grudge wrote:lol, yeah rightPlan B wrote: Well, you may be outcasting yourself into a gamingworld of yesteryear then, because SF seems to be an anti-warez-system that actually works.

SF can be tricked with software.. :icon29:
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.

actually, when the devs of Galactic Civs2 removed the check in their latest update, starforce posted a torrent link to the full game on their site. to convey the message "see without us your shit will get warezed".Plan B wrote:Well, you may be outcasting yourself into a gamingworld of yesteryear then, because SF seems to be an anti-warez-system that actually works.Grudge wrote:I'm not buying or installing any game that comes with StarForce, they can fuck right off.
