I'm just curious, if someone were to insert a non stealth game in an unmodified console, would it not then log the same information as if it were entered in a moded console? Would M$ therefore not run the risk of banning the wrong people?

Very doubtful, that would be very stupid of M$.

I also don't get why people are complaining about this.... the point of flashing your 360 is, if you're going to do it, you yourself is taking a risk of losing Live access. You should know this from the beginning. It's been constantly said in the beginning.

So stop your bitching and takes what's coming at you. Otherwise don't do it

But then how can they differentiate between the two? All drives now have stealth so they can't detect if the fw is modified or now, so then how would they be able to log if a nonstealth game log comes from a stock or modified system?

I also put in a backup into my 360 but this was before I flashed it as I though my console was already flahed because the sticker on the front is only on the bottom part so it look like the warranty is still there. After flashing, I haven't had any game fail a boot and will definitely keep it that way for sure, I just hope that failing a boot before the fw flash doesn't get sent to MS.

I'm also worried about iXtrm 2.1 for the hitachi, I booted a copy of GRAW2 that has DMI, PFI, SS and video partition present but xdvd mulleter 9 says that it's invalid, checksums don't match or something along those lines and does not have iXtreme compatible checked, but everything else checks out.

I have one of those too. My Lost Planet: Extreme Condition backup says I'm stealthed but my ISO was padded with '0's, so it will "most likely never be ixtreme compatable". Well, it does boot up, but I'm totally not going to use it anymore with this new protection scheme...

What is that??

some serious clean up this PM in this thread.


remember a few things :
1) You were expected to use Stealth backups offline and origianl online, and there was ways to test stealth. If you did not your bad.
2) all hacked fw are experimental, and at you own risk
3) you have no right whatsoever to lay guilt on anyone, just like you have no right to expect things to be 100%. It is experimental , and will most certainly continue to evolve.

IF you want certainty, use the original FW and original disk.

ALso, since you had to use your samsung to extract the SS, you would have done a complete backup with anyway. How can you end up with a non-stealth backup with a samsung drive?


-soso

---------------------------------------------

And as far as hitachi is concerned, the question was asked, asking another 100 times wont change it. When there is some news, post it, otherwise stop asking.

And to conclude, make your backup properly from your original and your samsung (5.3 or before) or Kreon drive and all stealth will be there. You can even check it with mulleter ( Media Stealth: What is needed and How To Verify, (DMI, PFI, Video Partition, Samsung SS) ), should it not pass the test redo it properly or play the original.

Or maybe you should realise there are people out there that don't know how to flash a drive and are now stuck with a non safe firmware unless they cough up more cash for a reflash.

The fact that the old ixtreme used to be fine is irrelevent for the less tech savvy amongst us.

I'm by no means slating the hackers who work tirelessly to keep us one step ahead, i'm merely pointing out that some people have a right to be a little distraught about this new news.

Luckily I know how to flash all 360 drives (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Except BenQ.

Wow..........if someone doesnt know how to flash their own drive, they should still shut their mouth. If they don't have a clue on how to flash a drive and paid someone to do it, that is their own problem again. IMO, if you don't know how to mod a system yourself or be competent enough to have someone show you how, you shouldnt be using a modded system.

Good job releasing this new version, much appreciated. Now I just have to flash 4 consoles asap

We are? I never read that advice. It would make sense to a point like it did in the xbox days but surely any firmware checking process could be run by the dashboard or a game while offline and stored?

Cheers rahrahrah.

Are these "real" md5's or ones you have calculated?

[rahrahrah]

hi just loaded the bin into md5 checker and it gave me the numbers so not  sure but it worked lol

I think the information they are logging is something only the iXtreme does, you try to boot a backup that isn't properly stealthed then the FW stops it from booting and reports it somewhere, which is what M$ is logging. An unmodded console will just tell you its not an official  game.

I've just upgraded to 1.2c

I've noticed that some of the boxsets of DVD's I've tried playing on the 360 aren't playing on my 360 now, I just get a weird clicking noise - I've been trying to play Futurama and CSI dvd's - if the disc is in as the 360 is booted its sticks and the logo and doesn't go further till the disc is ejected.

Was wondering if anyone else had this problem, as far as I know they booted before I upgraded from Xtreme to Ixtreme (wondering if its cos they're DVD9 DVD's - movies usually work)
Anyone got any ideas?

[baberg]

So, just out of curiosity, how did Microsoft "sneak" this new check in?  I haven't had a Dashboard update since I first modded my console (iXtreme 1.0) so was this code just a time-release check that is now hitting?  Or do we even know where the check is being done?

Oh, and big thanks to C4E and all of the other hard working modders out there for keeping us up to date on the latest detection methods.  I'll flash my drive tonight.

[signum]

Will there be a new fw for reading game backups slow based of this new feature?

I really like the slow speed so much.
