Team HyperX IXtreme v1.61 FW for Samsung and BenQ Drives *Updated* Posted by XanTium | October 29 22:53 EST | News Category: Xbox360

A new version (v1.61) of the iXtreme DVD Firmware for both Samsung and BenQ DVD drives has been released. A Lite-on version is still in development and will be released later (NO ETA). These were released without any type of readme or NFO, but early user reports claim they work fine like v1.6 with added support for 'Wave 4' discs. *Update* Team HyperX now officially released the new firmwares and the readme/nfo confirms it comes with 'Strict' Wave 4 compliance: -Strict Wave 4 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot! Strict Wave 4 compliance means wave 4 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 4 Note for unofficial releases: It is highly recommended that you do not flash unverified or unofficial releases. We often do not implement specific security features in beta firmwares that are neccessary precaution's to help keep everyone as safe as possible on Xbox Live.

Wave 4 games have been confirmed to work on 151. No need to update hitachi - FW is good how it is

I dont think we will ever get anything higher for the hitachi drives since they no longer producing. And just a pain in the be-hind.

In the link "but early user reports claim they work fine like v1.6 "

It looks like people are skeptical that the FW came from C4eva... And it's not on xbins? I think the best thing to do is wait, but what do I know? Nothing...

So, does this skip the PFI/Video checks (ala 1.51) or have they added strict wave 4 compliance? Personally, I would prefer the former.

I'd like to know the same.  Haven't been able to come up with an answer yet though.
