This is good news but the first thing I want to know is will LT+ allow new games to be played on machines already AP25 flagged?

[CaptainStu]

What is ap2.5?

[the soul poet]

I hope it's safe offline

It is basicly flagging your machine up for a ban. I wish I knew more but you can look here for more info and to check if your machine is AP25 Flagged: HERE

Can anyone confirm that the Samsung drive is playing fable 3 copy with the new beta dash just fine? Because people with Samsung drives where reporting that they are unable to play fable 3 here on xbox-scene.

[lukethecrasher]

Does it mean that only the samsung drives are safe? Or the opposite?

[Its_me_again]

So, for the record: Fable 3 (and other games with ap25) on dash 9199 with LT firmware are safe?

From what i have been reading, i think that is correct, but as the new dash is coming next week, you havn't got much time left on live so make the most of it.

[The_Doctor]

do the non stealth firmwares have a problem with ap2.5? specifically the benq 1.41 nonstealth firmware

[c4eva] kreon=fail!

Does this mean that kreons will be incapable of ripping games with ap25 and ssv3? will they be able to be used offline? I don't understand what this means...

lets hope the update isn't included on the game discs for some time

Indeedly good news that the scene from now have to use 0800 only!
its almost christmas eve  

[Noupoi]

So does this explain why my old xbox with a 47 hitachi survived multiple ban waves?

[brandogg]

No, AP2.5 has absolutely nothing to do with past ban waves.

[SnAQ]

Finally some confirmation on this topic.
I wonder however, if c4eva or anybody else for that matter will be able to implement the new checks on FW for us without a 360Slim machine.

Now it´s just waiting time.

Thanks for the clarification c4eva, and keep up the awesome work.
It´s MUCH appriciated!

He said that LT+ is coming for required drives, i wonder if that means that he will create new firmwares for all current drives and "expand" LT+ for all drives which support AP25?
