Cool thanks for the additions and the heads up.  I'll be disconnecting when I get home.  

[SvensK]

Wicked good news. Keep up the great work.

Great News.
These FW updates are what keeps us one step ahead of m$

Thats really great news  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

hope to get something like this to my hitachi  

[biosehnsucht]

My 360 started flaking out Sunday night, and I've now got a coffin on the way. At least its a 2005 unit so I'm not getting nicked for it. If this update comes out real soon now, I'll try applying it and see if it fixes it. (It's fine in dash, Geometry Wars or Hexic, but forget anything more complicated.. even lumines locks up in a few minutes)

^ Trust me they are more than one step ahead.  They are still just collecting data.

well see, i hope its just a regular update for the dash. But nevertheless it is a dash update which is forcefully done. And for the new games that we get, there will be another update that updates the dash through the new games, and could stop us either using xbox live, or just make an all together another error that stops the system from working with backups. I hope its neither cause i love live, but if it has to be one of the two i definitely hope its just the ban of live and not the stoppage of backups not working at all (not to say it wouldn't make regular retail and backups not work all together ). I hope we will prevail against MS as we have done in the past against every other update so far, but I do fear that we have to milk all we can get cause time is limited. This is the chance we took for modding our systems whether you like it or not. Only lime will tell if we surpass another update without any loss of functionality in our backup playing systems.

Yes, good news is that im getting a hitachi v78 to c4e early next week, so he will be working on getting flash routines working. GaryOPA has had a v78 for several weeks, but has been MIA since..so i dont know his progress. Either way, we will soon have two parties working on it. c4e is also interested in working on hitachi firmware (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So, keep your hopes up, the future holds good news for hitachi-stealth.

Sweet foodage, man

Great point about the M.I.A. It's an unusual something. Gary definitely wants to please everyone and deserves his props, and yet, as you point out... this long struggle hints that he may be hitting some walls. It's great news to hear that TWO experts are working at it now.

Maybe the 2 brilliant minds could even join forces. It would be inspiring to see what Gary and C4E could accomplish together, in terms of new ideas. That may be pure speculation about them ever teaming up, and yet it feels so good to hope for.

hmm does this mean each release could be two releases.. smaller for TS and larger for H?
That would be quite nasty.

Hmm...

ISO support = people will find ways to cheat by altering the files = Microsoft will try even harder to start banning people?  

That's one of the main reasons people were banned from the original XBL, aside from piracy of course.

Depends on how M$ reacts on this. Let's say there's massive car-modding cheating in NFS going on. They could issue an update for the game that does MD5 checksums on the car models to catch cheaters.
So it would be the cheating that gets you banned, not the modified firmware.
Personally I don't think many would risk getting their 360 banned just for cheating in some games.

Maybe its a little to early but I don't think this will catch on unless a Hitachi firmware is released that also suppports it. Even than, many people won't be able to play those releases. Anyways, this could be very interesting for Xbox1 backups.

[mcmanic]

mmmmm, good work but pointless unless you want to play your xbox1 re-ripped backups - i know i wouldn't bother, and there is only 2x360 games that can be ripped/shrunk?, maybe more in future?, causing scene confusion on release's?, samsung only?

these things should be keep simple, can we just have the xbox1 part of firmware for those that want it and keep the 360 on DL as full releases, were not all cheapskates (ironic i know), but you know what i mean for the sake of 90p a disk saving

Also whats the 360 like at reading standerd DVDR, better?, worse?, are we likely to have media incompatabilities all over again?

Wow... the development of the Xtreme firmware never ceases to amaze me. Kudos to Commodore :-)

It's a good point. Cheating on live sucks. Sucks bad. M$ will have to combat it at all costs or see their services undermined. The PS3 fanboys would be having a field day and it would grow out of all proportions even if it was a rare occurance.

Cheating = bad.
