[QUOTE="BikerPunk"] [QUOTE="DZBricktop"]How would they know hes playing a burned copy of a game? Is that even possible? That would be a great way to scare pirates. :)Love_Hina_Lover
considering PS2 had anti piracy on it. I bought the Mod CHip, i had a few burnt games, however whenever you went to take them online, the system would do a check and read foa alterations within the system. I had the chip you could shut off, so it was fine, as i bought all the games i wanted for online.
When your system reads the disc, it looks for a "serial" sort of thing on there. when you burn it, the "serial" changes, thus the system can recognize a burnt disc, at least thats how PS did it. With the Xbox, and being online, they are able to just scan it, they see a burnt copy of something, and your shutdown.
The same way they shutdown Halo 3 players that got thier discs before release. Yes, people said it was not true, however i read the annoucement, do may the prehaloers Rest In Peace.
wow you dont have a damn clue about how technology works, do you?
First off there is a 0% chance that you got banned for playing a burned copy of the guitar hero 3 demo, the demo wasnt your problem. More than likely this is a simple glitch or mistake in the system as long as you have done nothing wrong. as you state.
Next, microsoft has no sure fire way of knowing if you are playing a burnt game or a leaglly owned game. They have made some "tricks" to detect burnt games and ban consoles however nothing has worked 100% yet. The eastiest way to check is to check the firmware hash code for alterations(ie a custom firmware is installed). Another way is to use signal mapping to determine if there is a mod chip or other device diverting past the security chip. To detect burnt games is guess work though and microsoft latest atempt proved to be somewhat succesful. They monitored/record read/write times/speeds of the dvd drives to watch for majour groupings of abnormalities. (ie not just one game but all of your games) and sent out bans to those consoles. I sincerily doubt yu have any idea what your talking about when you talk of "serial" sort of thing inculded in the disc. A disc is a solid state media that doesnt have the ability to think or change anything.
I know what you mean. I have been doing um....something (not going to say what it is in case an M$ employee is looking) that they don't want me to do (not modding or anything like cheating, but prohibited nonetheless), and I haven't ever been banned, prevented from doing it,or warned not to.
