Nieuwe Kinect dashboard met nieuwe beveiligingen?

Microsoft lijkt weer te zijn begonnen met een nieuwe strijd tegen piraterij, want de mensen met een geflashde DVD Drive en het nieuwe Kinecht beta dashboard kunnen de nieuwste games als Fable III niet meer spelen. Terwijl mensen met een gemodde drive en het oude dashboard dit wel kunnen. Dus totale paniek in de tent en wacht iedereen nu vol met spanning af wat er aan de hand is, en hoe ze dit kunnen omzeilen.

A new beta version [build 12606] of the Fall 2010 [alias 'Kinect'] dashboard has been leaked on the internet a few days ago and it seems like Microsoft added new protections to it. Several users seems to report problems booting certain games from recordable media on 360s with a modified DVD FW.
One of the titles affected seems to be Fable III. The game boots fine from any media on the current dashboard on a 360 with modified FW, but fails to boot from recordable media on the leaked/12606 beta dashboard ["This disc is unreadable"] - while the retail disc will work just fine according to #FW@EFnet.

Right now it's unclear which games, DVD models and/or modified FWs are exactly affected.

The new fall 2010 dashboard might get official released tomorrow [Tuesday Oct 26th 2010] (unconfirmed date, but it will be before Nov 4th anyway) to all 360 owners, so we suggest you do NOT update if you have a modified FW until we know more about these issues.
JTAG users should of course not update at all (will lock-out old CB and make the JTAG hack impossible), they should wait for a new rebooter.
