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

I just checked and found that it was not checked and when I run it on some of my games it shows that it is invalid and then it fixes it.

Gee, if this was important why would it not have been default? Many of us were just expecting agbx default settings to be as close to original as possible, is there anything else we should be adjusting in options.

In future I hope agbx default settings err on the side of caution and apply all fixes automatically and we can un-check them if we want. I'm upset that if this was known check it wasn't just used as default. Damn.

The amount of people who cannot read in this topic is absolutely staggering.

Yet again, from ABGX:

"The default behavior is to not check for it and just leave it the way it is, because if you're using iXtreme firmware it doesn't matter if a backup has SplitVid or not; data past the game partition will not be readable by the Xbox 360 host."

SSv2 and SplitVid are not the reasons for the bans because the MS drive default firmware DOES NOT READ them. HOWEVER, if the code behind iXtreme was bloated because of its special treatment of those things and others then the response times for CFW could be noticeably different (thats likely what got people banned). Therefore, even if you played every single game with SplitVid enabled and with valid SSv2 angles, you could still get banned because iXtreme's response times were different. That's the theory at least.

We understand this, but, even if it didn't matter since it's not readable, but it differs from original, it should have been default, since it checks it and REPAIRS it in less than 1 second. In future hopefully agbx will use the most cautious settings it can. I just assumed it was doing that, to my regret. I understand it has nothing to do with ban, but with the disks themselves, now we all have to burn them all again or check them again. And I just assumed agbx's default included everything to make disk as close as possible to original.

for anyone it may concern...

there is no need for a new abgx release its already in the program, its just a matter of whether or not you enabled the feature

and if you havent it still doesnt mean your back ups arent splitvid, they still could be, the program just didnt check for it and fix it if it didnt.
enable the option and rescan your back up (the disc) there you will see if ur game does indeed have slitvid..

also splitvid is not the reason why people are getting banned and why you now need to have it.
the reason why you need it now is the new firmware is being stripped down of almost all features...
no stealth check, no splitvid emulation no nothing, so because the firmware isnt making up for the game not having it, it now must have it

hopefully that clears some stufff up for those who dont read..
also im going to say its a safe bet that when its said that "all drives" are in the development. that means all the usual drives that are already IX capable, theyre too busy working on the new firmware revision, not new exploits of drives...

but hey who am i to say

Heh, good thing I usually include SplitVid when I make my backups. Unfortunately, I can't be 100% sure all of them have it and I don't keep disc images after I make a backup. I suppose I could re-rip and re-burn all my originals to be sure I have SplitVid, but that seems like a waste.

As long as I get the "please insert this disc in an Xbox 360" message when I put a backup into a DVD player, that means it has SplitVid, right?

Nope, it would play that message regardless.

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.

It already exists. X-Link Kai, XBConnect, you could even set up a vpn at home using something like Hamachi and get your friends to join you for a lan game.

yah, but unfortunately microsoft has limited the lan play to 30ms ping or lower... now unless u and ur friend are SUPER closeby u can't get a ping like that.. so basically its pointless cause u will never be able to play a game with someone far away (so no, not even close to xbox live)

Just rerun them on ABGX and the ones that dont have Splitvid rerip !

lol! that's pretty clever tbh

greenbackz · « **Reply #71 on:** November 23, 2009, 05:32:00 PM »

jeez.. looks like im gonna have a lot of re-burning to do.. but since i got a banned console i'll just use it for the unsure rips and when LT touch is out i will make sure i properly do the split-vid for that console..

quitow · « **Reply #72 on:** November 23, 2009, 05:33:00 PM »

Guys, simple question: is there anyway with ABGX360 to check if an ALREADY BURNED GAME has SplitVid? So I at least can know each games i should reburn and the ones i should keep, because i'm not the one who burned some of my games, especially the older ones.

Everyone seems to be focusig on splitvid, but do SS V1 359 angles need to be patched also for LT?

Yes, misc - check splitvid, then change source to your dvd drive

Noone knows yet, prolly advisable to tick the SSv1 fix box though.
