I agree that two versions of the firmware would be nice (strict and non-strict) but I can understand that it's most likely a bunch of extra work and even if it's easy I'm sure it's still a pain in the butt.

Anyways, I'm just very, very happy and appreciative for all of the skilled programmers that work so hard on the firmware and tools. Your hard work definitely doesn't go unnoticed! (unfortunately it takes something like this for some people to realize it though)

The New firmware that is compatible with the Wave 4 Partition disks will be available and ready for your download when:
Drum Roll Please....

They are ready to release it and have tested it fully.

Why do people still post shit liek this? read my question again. I asked, how long have past FW releases taken, and how long should we EXPECT. Not like I asked for an exact date or anything.

If there's such concern about users being unprotected, activate.iso leaves them unprotected anyway, so they'd better be doing things properly. If we're regularly going to be relying on that method, we'll be depending on ABGX360 to verify anyway. If users are trusted enough to use activate.iso responsibly, why not trust them to use a non-stealth firmware responsibly?

This is more of a political decision than a practical one. As a modder I'd like to see strict wave x compatability instead of letting users make the decision. Why? Simply because it'll mean more money for me. This time iXtreme 1.6 is still 'compatible' with the new Wave 4 games, only you need to use a disc and probably ABGX360 for all those games, but it still works, which it didn't before.

If people want that little extra luxury of not having to swap discs then by all means let them come in and upgrade their flashes on a semi-regular basis.

Additionally, the majority of users with a firmware that doesn't stealth check won't use ABGX360, which could lead to more bannings, which could lead to more trouble for people like me, having to explain to them that the Xbox I sold them is out of warranty even though you have a 1 year warranty, because you banned yourself.

Then again, I was scheming to bribe the iXtreme team into delaying the solution for flashing Lite-on simply because it was earning me -sooo- much money.

I won't even respond to the "I'll make more money" part of that post.

If they won't use ABGX360, they'll be just as vulnerable to banning using activate.iso vs. non-stealth firmware.

Let iXtreme simply handle booting backups, which it does perfectly. Let ABGX verify backups, which it also does perfectly. Maybe C4E will see it that way several months down the road if he tires of chasing his tail in response to new wave versions.

I have a lite-on with 1.51 firmware. trying to boot up wave 4 games , I read the forum that i need to upgarde the firmware to 1.6 for lite-on to get it to work by using the activate disc. If I ugrade my liteon to 1.6 firmware will it play all my wave 3 , 2 games?

As long as they are correctly stealth patched if not you would need to use activate.iso to get the non stealth patched games to work as well.

when you said stealth patch it that for online only? we never play online so do i have to worried about stealth patch and non- stealth patch for wave 3, and 2 ?

you can just run your game threw abg360 and it will check it and make some fixes for you. if you are going to be running bad backups you will be banned from live if you ever do decide to connect online. the thinking around here with alot of people is that your xbox will store the fact that you boot a bad backup and upload that info if you get online. if you dont care about that then yes 1.6 with the act disk will try to boot anything you put in it. i would wait a little longer before upgrading to 1.6 since we are all hopeing for a new firmware soon. if your not worried about being banned you can look into patching the came. you can read on it some but it seems like i read a patched Cars (WAVE 4) will play on a 1.51 system but of course your asking to be banned by doing that.

Hi,

I have 1.4 system, liteon drive. I do not use XBL. For wave 3 games I have been running it through abgx and then patching with ppf-o-matic3 successfully. Can I continue this method for wave 4 games?

1 - there is no 1.4 for liteon, you must mean 1.5 or 1.5.1

2 - did you read the thread. that's been answered about a hundred times (right above your post too) answer is YES in case you miss it.

apologies chorizo1,

Details are a bit hazy, I got someone else to flash it just before christmas last year (as I don't have sata drives in my old pc). So I was guessing at 1.4 as I think that was the version around at that time, also come to think of it, it may even be a benQ drive.

So, im guessing no news of any sort from C4eva or anyone?

He only lives about a hour drive from me. Anyone have his address. I will go knock on his door.

I'm more interested in finding out IF he's even working on it (or planning to).
