The homebrew programmers that have these tricks at their disposal seem to
be steering clear of the Xbox version. Apparently, the clients checks the
Xbox Live packets so thoroughly that you can't fool it into connecting as
reliably as the other versions. That, and there's nothing in the Xbox
client that isn't already present in the PC or Gamecube versions, which
are more flexible for connecting.
I think an XBox PSO server is possible, but it'd have to be a LAN-only
solution and not available over the Internet like the Dreamcast stuff is.
I definitely should do more research on that.
-KKC, who now has the tool for generating Codebreaker hashes so that
people using dial-up can connect to his server. This is getting
ridiculously serious now.
