Microsoft put the verification code in a file outside the data for the actual game. I'm about halfway through decoding the file... but its different for each game. it seems that the disk gets saved to a folder, while the verification code is in a different file, with the same name as the folder. these folders are NON-gamertag speific, or once a game is cracked, it will be easily distributed over the net. the problem is that this file has no extension, so i don't know what to do with it. I tried editing it in a .txt, but the xbox just looked at it as corrupted. Also, after editing the outside file, and replacing it with the "original" it works, so there is no timestamp problems, and it is definatly crackable Any Ideas? (also no bs on you have to buy the game... if i cared, i wouldn't be cracking the file)
