I know this is kind of geeky, but, does anyone here hack or mod there firmware for gaming platforms? Just curious to see if there is anyone here who, like me finds them self hacking hardware with customized firmware, for fun. I have modded a PSP, My original xbox, my xbox 360, a Nintendo DS, a Playstation, Just for fun. Half the time I never even play the systems

 I Just recently upgraded my mac pro with a custom firmware to make my dvd drive region free, 

I also just modded my 360 with a dvdrom firmware to allow me to play copied games and load custom app's. 

I find my self doing things like that, just because I can, and I find my self not able to sleep until it's complete anyone else crazy like that   lol

Peace. 

I'm in the same boat of having stuck my toe in a bit by putting tweaked firmware on my WRT54G, but that's about it. I'm definitely interested in the area though.

Cool, Jason i'm not 100% sure on the rules of ethical hacking would it be appropriate for me to submit a tutorial on how I did it to my 360? There are a lot of methods out there, but the ones I found didn't really work for me, so I had to wing it a bit but it worked. There is also a way to copy the games, and again most of those tutorials were wrong.

Just a thought, Let me know if you guys would be interested in a tutorial. If it's not against the rules that is

I've softmodded my wii and eventually ended up banner bricking it which is great because now i can learn to fix it. I bought a modchip a drive key haven't put it in yet, but now i need to find an original gamecube controller or somehow ghet a savemiifrii:P
