if they are collecting info around the stealth and arent doing anythign about it how would you know they are beating the stealth how would you know they are not how would you know a damn thing about if your stealth is working if they arent doing anything??? huh???
stealth patch only works in your mind.
Dude,
the point is (what probably everybody else gets) that if u don't play stealth backups online M$ could think that u r playing a pirate copy of ur game ('cause non stealth backup r not a true 1:1 copy).
This might be right for other people - it is not for me (i am playing backups of the originals I OWN) - but M$ could start to do sth against those pirates that r not playing originals - which is, to be honest, a valid point....
That's y i wanna make sure i have a stealth backup

I think Iron Mike was asking if there was a way to verify that he made the Stealth Backup correctly! There are certain steps in order to make one and he probably just wanted to know if his end resulting iso is built correctly and if there was some sort of method/utility to verfiy what he had done was correct!
Considering the amount of time it takes to backup a game, even if stealth is not required now, possibly it may be of importance in the future... so what is wrong for people to try to make their current isos stealth as a precaution? Sure MS may possibly find a way around the Stealth but I believe that if they do a countermeasure soon in a dash update or embedded into newer games, it will attack the simpler hacks - all the modchips and first-gen firmwares will be disabled.
Yeah, hope there's gonna be a tool to verify u have a stealth backup....
