Xbox DVD Firmware Hacked *Updated*
>> From TheSpecialist on xboxhacker.net:

This hacked firmware will fake the disc detection (will trick drive to detect disc as DVDXBOX media), the xbe must still be signed though (for DVDXBOX media), so this hack will not allow to run homebrew/linux stuff, atleast not directly (if there are possible font or other exploits in retail games, this could be used as alternative to gamesave exploits to install a dashboard exploit for example).
The finished hacked firmware (for the H-L 8050L drive) should be able to boot any MS-signed xbox executables (xbe) with DVDXBOX mediaflag and with regionflag matching your console's region (in case it's region locked - and no you can't change regionflag of the xbe as that would break the signature) from any recordable media.
The 8050L is the Hitachi-LG DVD drive found in newer Xboxes (see here).
