nice work you and garyopa you both brought the goods out before xmass well done
now before i install either of these firmwares im gonna have a bitch
please please please enable regionfree  for us in australia  because on the 1st of january it will be illegal to mod a 360 but not ps2s and original xboxes etc
the reason for this is that if the hack allows you to play region coded discs its legal as australian law sees it as your right to play legitimately purchased discs on your console even if they are meant for another region
but if it only allows you to play backups its illegal to own or modify a modified 360 and if you are caught owning or modifying a console you are in line for maybe some of the harshest penalties yet introduced in any country


this is coming into force on january 1st contrary to other ill informed reports

anyway well done c4 and gary

Same thing, region free won't be possible without hacking the core. In other words, will be a long time ...

OK, let me ask a question out of lazyness. I never burned any of my XBOX backups as I had a huge HDD in my XBOX and I always installed them straight to my HDD. Some using DVD2XBOX and sometimes using Quix(only to FTP the files). Now here is my question. Can I just FTP all of the files from a game back to my PC an then rebuild the ISO with something like gdfimage, then burn the ISO? Will this work?

i have not tried it myself, but according to by commodore4eva ... yes.  but honestly try it out for yourself.  worse come to worse you would have wasted one dvdr.

but remember, the original default.xbe can not be modified in any way.  i myself edit the xbe title name so i would have re-backup at least that file.

I only asked as I am at work and could not test it right now.

All of this is good news and all, but I have a question.  It's just a matter of me being unsure of something.

How do you make a raw backup of a 360 game to fit on single layer disc?  I currently use XBC and a SH-D162C for backups.

Or am I missing something else?  Thanks.

What about Region Freen DVD playback? No need for modification of XBEs in that one.

Flashing your drive
---------------------------

For ms28 firmware versions of drive you will need to use the Vcc method or the VIA SATA 10 sec method to read/write flash. Refer to http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=535222

Advisable to make a backup of your dvd drive firmware first.("mtkflash r /m orig.bin")

In Windows, copy orig.bin to same directory as this release (same directory as xtrem42a.bin/Xtreme42b.bin and X360SAM.exe)

Double click "Make X42a.bin" or "Make X42b.bin" to create x42a.bin (Xtreme4.2A firmware with your key from orig.bin) or x42b.bin (Xtreme4.2B firmware with your key from orig.bin). Thanks to eXOBeX for X360SAM.EXE

Copy x42a.bin or x42b.bin to boot disk


no mention of new batch commands

ok guys, since i'm dumb... can anybody tell me which releases of crash twinsanity, sid meyer pirates, and halo series i have to download and burn in my dvd-r media?

Um...you shouldn't be "downloading" any "releases" as this firmware is used to back up games you own.  Posts like that will not be answered on x-scene.

Anyways, great work again C4E, but I am still waiting for the opportunity for true 360 homebrew...may be a while though...

Great now we need this for the hitachi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

AWSOMENESS !

quick questions, it should work for ms28 drives ??
also, to upgrade from 4.2b to 5, I need to have the 0800 disc on my samsung then flash it back to original FW then flash to 5 or I can just flash it over the 4.2 ? if I understand correctly, 42 has firmguard and cant be flashed without the 0800 disc ??

thanks in advance ! once again great work guys
