What do you make of this?...

(wouldn't let me post the full url, sorry)
I think the majority of it is a load of crap to put it politely, some very narrow minded views in that thread considering the primary use of FSD and all that.
Here are some of the main points i disagree with which various people have said there, i might register on the FSD forums and post in that thread myself.
What are you? An achievement wh*re or something...? You need to play dodgy games on a modded console to boost your online achievement beaner? That's really the only reason you'd play a live profile on a modded box when you think about it.... Consoles like rghs and jtags are meant for running unsigned code and homebrew and also not for online use so why would people waste time preventing things from showing up on a LIVE profile when its not meant for that?
What about playing games not released in your region? or even just system linking a game to play in the same room as a mate on two TV's? I see no reason to split screen if you dont have to.
I personally use my Jtag to play the NTSC-J shoot em up's that have never been released outside Japan, do i like getting the achievements for them? yes why not they are some of the hardest games out on the Xbox 360. If i got an achievement on there i would like it to be on my profile, why not its no different to playing any other game is it? Its good to compare progress to friends playing the same game.
When myself and mates have Xbox Lans we always take our profiles on USB memory sticks. I personally like playing as myself and been able to continue my game no matter where i'm playing. Just because i use my Jtag for homebrew it doesn't mean it cant be used for games too does it?
Oh btw, its not just FSD that leaves a mark on your profile. Any game run via extracted xex leaves a dodgy mark on there.
Wrong, only if your launching it with a homebrew application, such as FSD or XEX Menu. If you launch it with a quickboot shortcut you are fine. Or you can load it with FSD and sign in after.
JTAG's/RGH were ment for offline use... not to say they cant be used online but people dont go online because its and instant ban..
Again i dont think people really understand what is been talked about in that thread. There is a massive difference between using a live profile offline on a Jtag and taking a Jtag online.
really don't see how stealthing FSD opens the door for people to abuse the system."
It doesn't at all, they are just some very narrow minded and misguided views in that thread.
[3:01pm] <@FiB3R> are you out and out saying that as soon as you login to a profile on a jtag/rgh, the fact that it is being used on a hacked console is written to the profile?
[3:02pm] <@Blackwolf> enough information is collected to make a detmination that the console has been hacked, at that time they could choose to ban it
[3:03pm] <@Blackwolf> the profile i mean, ban the profile
[3:03pm] <@Blackwolf> seriously doubt theyd bad the box
[3:03pm] <@Blackwolf> well maybe in a dual boot
[3:03pm] <@Blackwolf> unlikely theyd ban the fully legit console
[3:05pm] <@FiB3R> information is collected and stored in the profile?
[3:05pm] <@Blackwolf> yes
- Again total rubbish, you can even test this your self.
- On a retail console create a profile and play a game that doesn't save data to the profile, Full Auto is a good test subject for this.
- Make a copy of the profile on your computer
- Now use this profile to a Jtag / RGH, sign in and load the game up from a quickboot shortcut / GoD container, quit the game.
- Make another copy of the profile.
- Now compare the two profiles in a hex editor, they will be identical proving simply signing in on a Jtag / RGH console does not add any data to the profile, or even playing a retail game add any data to your profile.
Below, the collection of my NTSC-J shoot em ups i enjoy playing on my Jtag. Just to highlight a major plus for jtag, importing games.
If you look on arcade gaming related forums, and forums less focused with console hacking or even piracy you will find a lot of people own Jtags to import beat em up's and shumps only released in Japan.
Long reply i know lol, but thats what i think.
No idea if it would be possible to make FSD appear as another game,I dont see why it wouldnt be as games appear to add data the first time there run and not again until you unlock an achievement (unless its a game that saves to the profile). Not been a programmer i couldn't honestly say for sure though.
