Team Underdog released a new DVD FW Patch Mod, called NME-360 v2.0, that will work with all current Xbox360 DVD drives:

Quote

Welcome back everybody. We are proud to announce the release of NME-360 v2.0!

We have been silent for the last few months in order to continue our developments to meet the new market needs. The result of our long and hard work is the birth of NME-360 v2.0 which is a fully upgradable DVD-drive mod for the Xbox360. It supports all Samsung MS25 + MS28 drives, all Hitachi 46 - 79 drives (FL and FK) and all BenQ drives. Once a new Xbox360 DVD-drive hits the market it will be an ease for the customer or wholesaler to upgrade the chip to make it compatible to that new drive too. Besides the cool upgrade feature we have added another security feature which is the optional ability to either disable the back USB port or the internal network adapter of the XBox360. This way you can install the NME-360 depending on how you are going online, wlan or lan, and use the network off feature anyway. Using the Actel A3P060 technology we are meeting the highest standard in the industry which automatically results in a very stable working chip with no dre's whatsoever. Final samples have already reached a few resellers who are pretty amazed of the stable booting especially in BenQ drives. The first sales batch will hit the market in the first or 2nd week of November.

- teh result of 1000s of hours of research and programming
- based on Actel Logic for most possibly stability

Glad they decided to do an upgradeable chip.

*waits for coming "they ripped off c4eva" etc posts*

I think its needed. Its easier for me to do a chip. For some reason, lately, I haven't been able to flash a single drive. No hardware changes on my PC, yet I can't flash anything.

IMO a modchip is only worth having for the 360 if you can downgrade your kernel with it and run homebrew etc. If not then a drive mod through software is more than enough.

Ya know, thank God chips are not the only way to mod a console these days...

As I refuse to add any foreign hardware to my 360 via soldering.

Has never, and will never happen here. I just don't trust my hand at soldering.

Btw NME, great job ripping off ixtreme benq!

I find it funny they have been pushing their release times back and back that coincide with ixtreme, and the DAY after ixtreme benq is released all of a sudden they announce the new chip with benq support.

This chip offers nothing that you can do via software alone, and MUCH more work than whats neccessary. I hope no one bothers to buy this.

Had the NME2.0 come out less than 24hours before iXtreme BenQ, would you say the same? ...Nope.

The fact is they didnt did they? It was after which looks to me why they have ripped iXtreme off. I agree with Iriez. They have totally ripped of the BenQ iXtreme that c4eva released. Actually it wouldnt surprise me that they just have the flash of c4eva's installed on one of the banks lol

They is a waste of space and time.

And I'm sure that this costs more than a 10$ sata adapter.

OMG all the haters here, you don't HAVE TO BUY IT!

Question, does this chip still require additional patching of your ISO's to work with the chip?
