31 March 2003: First solution for Project B issued Habibi_xbox has released a small savegame for 007 Agent Under Fire on Xboxhacker (See here for original thread). We have now confirmed this savegame can be made to boot the Xbox Linux Live Plugin Distro on an unmodified Xbox! Note you can get video working by telnetting to the box, using
wget -o xbv
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/xbox-linux/xbv/xbv?rev=1.16
chmod +x xbv
./xbv -m 0
We will be building on Habibi_xbox's work and releasing more ways to run Linux on your unmodified Xbox.
This represents the first confirmed success in the Project B competition, which runs until December 31st 2003. As it is still not possible to use this exploit purely from HDD or USB dongle on an unmodded box (you must use a retail DVD of "007 Agent Under Fire" only), we hope this won't be the last great Project B entry we see.
