I agree, if it's a new mobo then the drives are not spoofed.

I just read the news today and i hope i'm not screwed. Just finished spoofing a sammy as a benq on my new elite. I put the benq back in yesterday and was on live. I was only testing the sammy to make sure it was working as a spoofed drive. I hope that don't get me banned. I'm lucky i swapped it back out last night before any more damage could be done. Buy hey... if i'm flagged...oh well. Time to start over, lol.

This is what i am talking about. There is a GOOD chance that MS are spoofing the drives themselves to work in other machines.

I really doubt Microsoft has to resort to spoofing firmware to make a different DVD drive work on a motherboard...

you should be safe MS dont log things like that then ban you later if they catch you its instant ban they dont just wait for a while so if your benqs back in and lives working your safe.

Well that's goods news. I'm on live now, just wanted to see if i was banned. I'll just wait for ixtreme for the benq. It's worth the wait.

<c4eva> by the way, capacity on benq is all ok, seemed to be bug in using my VIA, so spoofers are ok, correct capacity is returned

So, disregard the previous comment about not being able to spoof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Great news, there! Many of us will be greatly relieved, I'm sure.

Hi everyone.

I have a 360 with a Benq drive and another 360 with a Hitachi 47.
The Hitachi 47 is already flashed with some old version of Xtreme firmware and problem is that I don't have the original firmware for the Hitachi, only the modded one that's on there.

What I'd like to do is to have the Hitachi in the Benq console.

Anyway to do this and have the "new" iXtreme 1.2 on there?

I've searched for an hour or so and didn't find any usefull info.

PS: I don't care if it's Live-safe or not.

Thanks in advance.

/Chris.

1.) you don't need the hitachi's original firmware if your going to spoof a hitachi as a Benq.

2.) You can still easily get your hitachi's drive key or firmware by reading it.

3.) If you want the hitachi to replace your benq, you must flash the hitachi with iXtreme_Hitachi_1.2_rev2 and insert the Benq drive key and then spoof.

Sorry for digging up such an old thread, but, is this still an issue anymore? I spoofed my BenQ to a Sammy ms28 today because my BenQ was giving me issues, and they suck at reading backups (slow load times).

Thanks.
