Dead Or Alive Hackers Get Creative 25

Posted by simoniker on Friday August 15, 2003 @01:07AM from the han-solo-vs.-wolverine-next? dept.

Thanks to the Gaming Age forum regulars for pointing out that skin mods to the in-game characters in Dead Or Alive 3 for Xbox are getting ever-more complex, thanks to sites like Ninjahacker.net, who are going far beyond basics such as the DoA Xtreme Volleyball nude patch and developing completely new character skins for its sister fighting-game title, such as Zack as Darth Maul and Christie as Storm from the X-Men movie. These very unofficial hacks only work with an Xbox that's been modified in software/hardware, however.

  Are there really any people out there left with an unmodded X-box ?
  Unless your X-Box is modded with one of those "switchable" chips, modding your X-Box excluded you from X-Box Live, so yea, there are a lot of X-Box users out there with no mod chip.
  As somebody who doesn't give a crap about X-Box Live, I simply have not gotten around to modding mine. I might do so eventually, if I tire of the games and want to use it as a Linux firewall box or something, but otherwise I have no real need to go through the

        Maybe I'm missing something but unless you *really* want to be "1337" it just doesn't make sense. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

        True, dat.
        Perhaps I should amend my previous post to speculate that I might someday use my X-Box as a redundant web-server, or perhaps, with a little tweaking, a digital video media server.
        Anyway, my point was, modding it is not terribly important to me right now, when I'm just playing DOA3 and HALO on it. (Okay, and DOAX too... I confess.) The only reason I would mod it is if I wanted to use it as a $200 Linux box.

  I have an unmodded Xbox. You see, I already have machines that can run Linux, DivX movies and pirated software. They even have x86 cores, just like the Xbox!

Thanks for making the jobs of the phone support reps that much less pleasant.
I should explain, I worked in maxis tech support. Between callers asking where to get the nude patch (i'm sorry, that's unsupported 3rd party software), and irate parents asking what the hell was wrong with Maxis for releasing a game with nudity (no ma'am, it wasn't us, it was teh HaXX0r5), an already unfulfilling job was made that much worse.
I applaud the injenuity, but wonder if the time couldn't be better spent coding something worthwhile while downloading porn from KaZaa. At the very least, please invent a 3d display, so we at /. can continue to make VR boobie jokes.

    You'll note it wasn't the company I was looking out for, but the phone reps. If you've worked phone support, you know the difference.

    Wired explains [wired.com] it all for you.
    
    Seems the programmer who made the character editor was gay, and somewhat miffed that the artists using it were making hot bimbos, but no gay muscle boys, so he added some, and got fired for it once Will Wright discovered it.

      I wonder about that story. The Sims sure lets you have guys in swimsuits kiss each other. Games certainly say much culturally.

I think that this 'hacking' is a great thing. I don't really see a difference between this and making a mod for Q3A or UT2k3. Maybe the n00d patch was a little useless, but adding this kind of 'mod-ability' to a (supposedly) closed console system is good. For those who have chosen to mod their XBox, this extends the functionality of the games, making you pick them back up after you may be all done with them.
