I don't know. I doubt that and as of now there is no way of proving that until we're able to recompile the cab files. But that's not what we're doing anyway. We're uploading files to the Zune's system partition (obviously nothing is checked there since we added Korean fonts) and if we could add a corrupted file to the system partition we could
possibly crash the firmware.
Problems:
No way of adding files to system partition easily yet.
We need to make a corrupted file that the Zune will still try to read.
We need to write custom firmware and have the Zune run it.
This is another step but it's still far from done. So I don't think anyone should get too excited.
EDIT: That may be useful fightclub as long as that really is for a font file. It may be for some weird Xbox font file.
