does a retail 360 with chip play reviews??

[Robert_Kendo]

I got a question:
Is it possible to play betas,reviews etc on a normal 360 if the 360 got a modchip??
hope somebody can help me!!
thank you very much

I would Tend To Say No, due to the fact that the dev signature and retail signatures for a game are different...

Generally for the 360 the disc signatures are different and there is different dependencies if retail, or debug, jtags can not play some beta's due to missing system files not found on retail consoles...

shit,so i have to buy a 360 dev kit... :dammit:

Robert I know you're not a 360 person.

1. Get a review kit
or
2. Make a Jtag unit

A dev kit is worthless to you given your needs.

Well, sort of.

Reviewer kits were discontinued. So just look for any non retail console really. If you want to save a bit of money, you can try a jtag. Usually by the stage games are being sent out to review they're close enough to retail for you to not have problems. But the possibility of debug libraries or memory being referenced still exists, in which case it wouldn't work on a jtag.
