I knew it was the splitvid and Kreon patching like 3 weeks ago. Mostly because old firmwares without bans since they didn't have the patching....

I think the main thing these people bitching about getting banned & now a new fw being developed is that when the new fw's come out, (iXtreme, LT or whatever the next generation will be), is that at the time it can't be seen by MS or at least they don't check for certain things in it. As time goes on new checks are found that MS is doing & a new version of cfw is released. Unfortunately this is generally after a banwave but playing on Live is always cautioned about & there has never been a guarantee that playing on Live is safe after modding your drive. Enjoy what c4eva does for the scene, without him & some others you'd be going out buying new discs whenever your game got scratched and you'd never be able to play 'backups'. I friggin' hate when people bash these key players in the modding scene and complain when their free ride runs out & they get banned.

When playing offline M$ can't tell you what to do with your console ( they are trying to stop us but not with using such methods, as banning ). Modifying firmware, installing homebrew etc. Backuping games, distribution of such backups and so on is for the publishers to worry about. But M$ clearly says: Playing on Live with modified console won\t be forgiven. Of course they couldn't say: "Yea, mod your consoles but in live please use only original disks, cause we will ban you" This way they'll be contributing to piracy. The options for now where two consoles: one modded and one original for playing on live ( my case ).

The new firmware, as I understand it, will gives us exactly that. A safe way to play originals with modded firmware on live. How safe it is... well we will see. Some claimed that dual firm ( cygnos for example ) does exactly the same job, and is undetectable, but I've personally came across 3 console with cygnos v1 which were banned very quickly ( not by mistake made by the owner ). So tests will tell

And you people, who are unhappy with the cat & mouse game... This is not even close to cat & mouse game... M$ patches holes once in an year ( last patch took 2 years )... Yes the last two patchs were extremely anti-piracy but I assume that if the new procedure for obtaining the drive key is more complicated and most important, not doable in home environment they'll live us be for a while. Or the other scenario is to patch holes one by one some time after our people dig the hole, and give them another 2-3 months digging to do it again, just to make some of us forfeit the game ( which hasn't began yet ).

For example I'll give you the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, where several patches were made every they to counter-attack the use of pirated backups on Steam. Another recent example is the PSP Go, where right after a solution was found for the 6.10 fw, a 6.20 fw came out. Same happend with canceling the JTAG with recent updates...

So c4eva, TeamJungle and all other great guys working on this, please work hard, don't hurry, and may Google be with you in your quest to kick M$ in the a**

Ugh, that's a hard task (actually). Re-burning all your old games that doesn't have that split-vid thing. The scene will become a mess if that's true, since all the old games will probably have to be re-released.

So yeah, I'm opting for going original as well. I used to play copies not to earn money, but to make sure a game is good before buying it, since my taste is very limited. But I guess demos, forum impressions, trailers, gameplay videos, written and video reviews will have to do.

I am sure glad I don't download 360 games, this way I never have to worry about a bad rip from a scene release.

I hope these guys that are working on the firmware can also think and devise ways to create a "portable Live server" so 4-16 of us can play off a local pc server Live games. Then we wouldn't have to play this cat and mouse game again. MS Live would like it because modders are not on LIVE, and modders would love it because we could play LIVE games in closed communities without the little kids chatter. We wouldn't have the extra features of LIVE, but we could buy a unmodded 360 for that type stuff.

These guys are geniuses and if anybody can do it, these guys could.

And the 1 million 360's that got banned would be USEFUL again for online LIVE games connecting on local pc server LIVE-like. And we wouldn't have to update firmware anymore and worry about new checks ms puts out.

Those drive have not been hacked yet, so they won't have custom firmware just yet.

yeah glad they cleared up the fact people where running around saying it was lite-on only

i mean why would they make a lite-on only solution, well its good to hear that its all shaping up good, i only played 2 games on my current 360...havnt been on live since ban wave started but fingers crossed i escaped...kinda think it will be my time i had my original 360 from launch and it survived every ban wave thrown at it

didnt survive a wave off coffee getting spilt in it though

ohhh funny times damn girlfriends huh always spilling stuff, expecting my laptop to go next but its already survived 3 drinks falling in it whilst it was on so

still alive, cant wait for the new fw even if microsoft can detect it im sure there 360 sales have had the needed xmas sales "boost" from all us unwelcome people haha see you all on live soon

Congratulations on setting the forum record for Emoticons used in a single post !
I was wondering when the record would fall.
Glad I got to see it in my lifetime.

I know that, but maybe they now have hacked those drives too? Because they say: "iXtreme LT for all drives, in dev/testing and going well. No ETA!". But does that mean: all hackable drives, or just all drives?

I too agree the cat & mouse game has became tiring and wish their was a team as talented as C4E and the Jungle crew working on HOMEBREW!

If you want piracy, imagine ripping a game straight to your upgraded HDD like the good old days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
No worries about crippling drives then, if only

That really defeats the purpose of what they are doing with the FW mod.
The Firmware mod's lasted people a very long time without the ban from Xbox live.

Changing dashboards and stuff to that effect you would be banned PRONTO!
Anyone who want's homebrew as many of us do want it for stuff like a possible XBMC-360.

And the so called cat and mouse being tiring so let's make it so we can rip to the hard drive and run homebrew is just plain retarded.
If you just want to pirate games anyways you can already do that with FW mods.
If the updates are what's tiring you then go to a older FW that doesn't do wave checks and be done with it.
If you get banned it won't be as fast as if you completely took control of the console with a new dash etc.
It took a few days for original Xbox mods to be found by MS and the console banned.

So you tell me which is easier for them to detect ?

Without reading this topic, why wouldnt you guys enable splitvid checks in abgx?

This has me confused too, doesn't abgx do this automatically, I mean if we were going on abgx to make sure the games were as close as possible to orginal and abgx wasn't doing this automatically as default, why not?

Many were trusting abgx to make sure all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted.

I guess NEW version of abgx will come out that meets the new standard.

Now if it is default setting in abgx , I'm good, but if not, gee , most of us are in trouble.

Well indeed, it was just an option before, but I'd imagine any new release would have it as a default setting.
