I dont know if they ship to India. The producer is Librasoft (France). I dont see why they shouldnt ship to your country. Contact them on their site.

Im sure this was mentioned, and I apology I didnt see, however if I have LT+ 1.1 and have the old dash now, is there any reason to do the method youve listed? Or could I throw ACB in there and allow it to install the new dash from the disc?

Unsure if any differences at this point
Thanks

thank you I should do this earlier. So far the Sims 3, fable 3, and Two Worlds 2 work great on my non LT+ with beta kinect dash. Anyone try Dead Space 2 with this method yet?

Dead Space 2 works fine with this method, considered that even if DS2 had AP2.5 (which it doesnt), this
dash would bypass it. Also, DS2 doesnt have any mandatory update of the dash.
Enjoy it!

Only difference is that you wont have to wait for any SS3 patches in order to play AP2.5 protected games.
For instance, with the newest dash update, you wont be able to play Halo Reach, WW2 and Black Ops anymore. Now they need the SS3 patch.
Fortunately they have been made available within a couple of days, but with this beta dash you wouldnt need them. Same as for the next AP2.5 games. You never know how long it might take to get the SS3 patches, since a stable 0800 fw for ripping drives is not yet available to the ripping community.

thanks for this.

I'm running ixtreme 1.3 or 1.4 (not sure). I updated the dashboard in the sequence provided, and all went well. Old rips still work fine.

I then took CoD:BO, ran it through the lastest ABGx and it was deemed fine. Then I ran 360 wave patcher to go down to wave 2, and the game boots and runs happily enough  

At some point I will open my xbox again and maybe install the executer blaster thingy to make updates easier - until that day - this does the job

I have an XBox360 that originally had an Hitachi drive (unsure of version) which broke and was replaced with a Benq flashed with iXtreme LT.

I followed the procedure detailed on page 1 a couple of months ago so that backups of NFS Hot Pursuit and ACB would work.

I've finally got it updated with LT+ and updated the dash to the latest version 2.0.12625 this morning.

To check that LT+ was working I tried a backup of Fable III which included the AP2.5 data, which worked.

I then tried backups of NFS Hot Pursuit, ACB, Halo Reach, COD Black Ops & COD Modern Warfare 2, all of which had no AP2.5 data on the disc, and they all worked!  I thought that they shouldn't, so I'm a little bit puzzled.

Is the reason they're working because I originally had an Hitachi drive that couldn't do AP2.5 ?, so it's not checking.  Or has it something to do with following the Kinect Adventures/Kinectimals procedure ?

I remember reading that you couldn't replace a Benq with an Hitachi or a Samsung to get around the Ap2.5 checks because the XBox would think you had a Benq and try the AP2.5 check and fail.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi im new here
now ill explain everything that happened to my xbox

first i wanted to play NFS hot pursuit so i downloaded the game and burned it
when i tried it, it wanted me to update dashboard. i didnt know how it could cuz i was banned from
xbox live long ago, so anyway i accepted it and later when i tried the game it said disc unreadable!!  

later i searched over the internet til i found out in this site that i need to have the original drive in my xbox
and later flash it to lt v1.0 or lt+ or whatever my drive supports.

if i change back to the original and flash it to any of the two firmwares that my drive supports,
will i be able to play the game even if i already updated to latest dash before i flashed it??  

i know that the best firmware for the sammy is lt v1.0 and for benq and liteon is lt+.
im not sure about the hitachi

i really need help cuz if hot pursuit doesnt work then it means i cant play any of the new games  
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi,

Thanks Anthares2k - I have used this method on another xbox and worked fine.

Problem I am having is after updating from 9199 to Adventures then Animals, I cannot run the last AC:B update.

I have formatted by USB stick to FAT32, burned 2 cd's and still nothing; it says mixed data disc.

Any ideas how I can get it to work?

I have 1.41 iXtreme with BenQ

Sure. For the last update you can use any AP2.5 game. Update the dash from your backup copy of AC:B or NfS.

I listened to your advice and I can now play AC:B.

However, it didnt ask me for an update so I'm not sure if its LT+ kicking in or not, but my old copy of NfS which was not patched by AGBX still works so I am left happy but confused

Hello, I've been out of the loop since Vanquish & that new Castlevania game on the 360. How do I play MVC3? I use to patch my wave 4 games into 2 so my flash can play them, but from my limited understanding the new games won't work with this method now? I just got Marvel vs Capcom 3 and was wondering what would be the proper way to play this on a banned xbox. Do I need a new patcher? Kinect update? etc.? I just patched with an old wave patcher to 2 will it work? Do new games force an update as soon as you put in the disc?

Well, if NfS didnt work before, and it's not patched, but now it plays, it can be because of the LT+ (since you didnt patch the SS3 in), so I guess it must have worked fine... Good enough, I say, right? ehehe

Well, lots changed since then. There's a new dashboard update that enable a new protection called AP2.5.
So far only few games use it, but in order to avoid it there are 2 ways:
update to the new LT+ customized fw (AND patch the required SS3 into each individual game using AP2.5), or use this exploit, but making sure not to update from live or any newest game. Only use this procedure. There should be mirrors of the downloads around page 17 I think (since those in the 1st page expired).

If you proceed with this exploit, you will be able to keep patching the games to a lesser wave. Of course, you wont need that if you flash the new LT+ fw.

So far the game using AP2.5, thus not working without this exploit or without LT+ are:
Need for Speed: hot pursuit, Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood, Fable III.
Halo Reach, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2 will not work if you updated to the latest dashboard, and there's no other way but flashing LT+.

In your case, I assume you still have the older dashboard, which wont allow you to play also the late wave 7,8 and 9.
Use this exploit and you'll be fine downgrading their waves as you've always done.

For more infos... google around..
