Hello! I think that I found a way to enable piracy on the Xbox One and the Series S/X. In dev mode we can develop our own apps very easily. So I though of developing an app for dev mode which would load any xbox 360/one game files and play them. If not Xbox One games, then 360 ones, because we already have the roms needed. I don't think that this would be to hard. Maybe I am missing something, because I don't think that I'm the only one who thought of this. Can someone explain to me why this hasn't been done yet?

Because it doesn't work that way.
To keep it simple, Dev mode is sandboxed, you'd first have to break out of the sandbox in order to gain system access.
Once you got that, why go for loading it via a sandbox when you have system access?
Wouldn't it make more sense to just find more system exploits to gain easier access?
After all, you've already got access to all the resources needed to load games.

Xbox 360/One games are XVD images rather than UWP and it's not possible to mount XVD game images under dev mode so no. That being said it's still possible to pirate games if it meets such restrictions:
1. The game is a UWP.
2. The game supports x86-64 architecture (32bit x86 applications are not supported).
3. There exists unencrypted appx/appxbundle packages for the game.

I was trying to say something like a "loader". More or less like an emulator. An UWP app that loads or emulates the XVD images
No as we don't have keys for XVD images.
Even if so, a UWP-XVD loader is not viable either as resources that a UWP could use is severely limited compared to XVD games, which would make XVD games unbearably slow or just crash.

@Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal! -

Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.+1 -

Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US+1

It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.+1
Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority. -

If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

@K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?
Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child -
@
mthrnite:
i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do. -

As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
