[Textbook]

If I had my pick of what I wanted more right now, between Xtreme v5, Media Stealth for Hitachi, and the 0078FK software flashing solution .. it would be the 0078FK hands-down.  And I have two Samsung drives, so that says something.  If you can't wait for v5, just be lucky you have v4.2 right now.  0078FK people have been waiting for a while now.

I agree totaly with Textbook on this. Surley the 0078fk software flashing solution is more important for the exact reasons stated in Textbooks post.

Burning a 3.9 gig game to a Dual Layer is stupid and the Dual Layer format is probably even further from the original disc format since there is an extra 3 gigs on it. He made this FW cause alot or most 360 games AREN'T Dual Layer and it's a waste to have to burn a 1 gig game to a Dual Layer disc.  

I take it you have never looked at the back of any of your originals and compared it to the back of the backup. Either that or you don't have any originals.

Take every single one of your originals (including FEAR if you have it) and look where the disc press stopped, around the exact same point your burner stops on every single one of your backups. All xbox360 games are on a DL disc no matter if the game files take the space up or not. Actually, 360 games are all the same size once pressed (this is part of M$'s disc security). So yes, even a 1GB game would be pressed at the factory as 7+GB DL DVD disc. Thus our RAW backups are not "further from the original disc format" (otherwise I dont think we would even call them RAW dumps).

Of course I have originals, how would I have backups without an original. And no I've never really looked at the bottom of my discs, never seen a point other than looking for scratches, but my originals stay in their cases after being backed-up so I should never have a scratch.

Yes you are correct about the disc being pressed to the outside, I notice (after looking at them) they are pressed all the way (even FEAR which yes I do own). I have backed-up all of my 360 games using my 360 and Xtreme tools and recently XBOX Backup Creator which do not show the actual files on the disc, and I don't believe Wxripper does either. So AFAIK there is no way to see the real size of a game yet. But recently I backed-up all 3 of the BK games. Image sizes are 1, 1.2, and 2 gigs, and that's with the 360 files included in the image. All 3 of those discs are also pressed to the edge.

Since you seem to know so much about M$'s signing/pressing process, what is on the rest of the disc then if you say it is data (which doesn't show up in the image or via FTP to the original disc)?

I admit I don't know much about disc pressing/manufacturing processes nor have I found much info on it, so please enlighten me/us on how they actually press the discs.

WIP UPDATE:

Sorry guys that it didnt come out within the ETA ...however, some recent advancement's have caused c4e to further progress instead of releasing. Trust me, you'll appreciate the wait

There is a very good chance that the next update will support previously burned xb1 games (that are of course supported via the xbox360's emulator)!

So I'll know within a few days if that will be a secured feature in v5!

duhhhh duh duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, whens this shi0t comin?

My question is about the file based iso support. I feel that this is going to be a great feature, but will I be able to convert my backups to DVD5 file based iso's or will I have to create new backups from the original disks? (Don't flame me for talking about backing up a backup... That is not what I'm talking about). I just don't want to convert my games over again to a new format.
Also, will our programs we've grown to love (Xbox Backup Creator) support this yet, or will we have to wait for an update for that also, because I would love to start changing over my backups to DVD5 as soon possible.

You will not need new tools. However, some programs such as the current qwix, add header information to the iso, which *may* prevent it from being booted. Best tool to use is GDFIMAGE, since it is from MS. GNU GDFIMAGE is what i test with.

If that is true then it will be more than worth the wait

Great question.

Do you suppose the hitachi has reached its last hack? Media stealth forever put aside, or not?

Garyopa-Hitachi FW has always been my favorite, but the c64 fw is getting so original that I'm considering getting a sammy as a second drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[Kramer987]

just because garyopa doesnt give updates on what he is working on doesnt mean nothing is being worked on. i hope you do get a samsung and in the process of flashing it you brick your entire xbox because you are an ungrateful piece of $hit.

the hitachi has a v78. the v78 is currently being worked on. garyopa may just be working on that. he may just be working both new FW and the v78. its unknown. stop crying like a little pansy.

as for all these *wonderful* developments the samsung is having... exactly what about them is so wonderful? i mean sure its cool. but as it stands both samsungs and hitachis can play backups fine. dvd9 media is roughly a dollar a disc, which is cheap. the games work flawlessly. what is there to complain about? i'm not too sure. that said, i'm in complete agreement with textbook. the v78 software flash would be the best thing right now as many v78s exist and many are out of luck.

so i repeat, go get your sammy and go brick your xbox and then come back here and tell us all about it. or, come to your senses, accept what you have as a little treasure, and enjoy.

You can't say it any better than that.
