that means DO NOT LINK TO IT HERE. (you'd think if it were allowed we'd just link it in the front page)

ALSO UPDATE HAS BEEN ADDED:

*Update* Team HyperX now officially released the new firmwares and the readme/nfo confirms it comes with 'Strict' Wave 4 compliance:

QUOTE

-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.

Assuming 1.61 allows booting of any size video partition then it effectively is 1.41 with a different name?

Otherwise whats the difference?

Do you really dare to suggest C4Eva just renamed 1.41?

Just do a byte compare between 1.41 and 1.61 and between 1.6 and 1.61.
You'll see 1.61 has far less differences with 1.6 than with 1.41.

i thought agbx 1.0.1 doesn't check wave 4 games yet.  am i mistaken?  i thought it was stated only 1.0.2 will verify wave 4 games and it will be release when the fw was available

all the complaining and suggestions just drives me crazy.  This thread shouldnt have much of anything other than a big thanks to the hard work done.

Agree now to wait for ABGX to get wave checked !!!

Yes the 1.4 does.

I think the 1.61 is the 1.4 file renamed.

hmm, does Wave 3 games work? yes? it aint a 1.4 then.. lol  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Wait so you're telling us the only person you know within 50 miles of you who owns a computer is your mom?

I've just recently moved away to school. My roommates and I only have laptops but I'm tempted to give it a shot with a laptop. I just know my mother's computer works well with flashing since I've flashed 4 systems with it.

look, its not all about checking your backups in abgx.  Its a great tool, dont get me wrong, but its is possible that your burn goes bad and the crc checks do not match.  I for one like having the fw with all the checks.

So burn with verify enabled and check your burn again with ABGX.  Everything you need to make good discs with proper stealth is available to you, without needing to rely on iXtreme.  The only thing I need the firmware to do is boot my backups.

For those who asked, the older BenQ "non-stealth" does not have the disc angle bug fix, so unless you've let ABXG fix that on all your ISOs, you run the risk of a ban.

Good news about 1.61, I hope the bug where it wouldn't play originals either has been fixed (otherwise Wave 5, 6, etc. originals will need activate.iso).

A 1.52 would be nice - 1.51 debugged to work with wave4 (and 5, 6, etc.) like it was supposed to.  Obviously not a priority though!

I dont think we will ever get anything higher for the hitachi drives since they no longer producing.

Same could be said for Samsung, BenQ and 7-series LiteOn?  Age of drive doesn't come into it.

Oh, and WELL DONE TEAM HYPERX!  You've made a lot of people very happy!  As for the ones who aren't - fuck 'em!

That was actually a load of bullshit and misinformation being spead by the ill informed. 1.6 will boot any original regardless of the wave. Wave 4 included!

sry..but maybe i am a bit stupid ..

so is it stealth to play wave 4 games?..or must we wait for abgx?

I'm confused, on http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49414:

>>A new release of the iXtreme firmware for BenQ, Samsung and LiteOn drives. Hitachi will follow at a later date (ETA unknown) as usual.

Team HyperX Presents IXtreme 1.6 firmware for Benq, Samsung and Liteon drives
Features:
   
bla bla bla.


thought that only the new fw was out for samsung and benq ??

never mind, post date may 2009  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Not suggesting that at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just saying if it didn't (we now know it does but at time of my post that wasn't clear as no info was given) then if effectively is performs exactly as 1.41 in all features currently.

Yes it's safe, an nfo with proper release info says it has strict wave 4 compliance....as safe as it was with wave 1\2\3 verified.
