I dont know how he does all this just on donations alone.

[repa]

I just want to say thanks to C4eva and the rest who makes all of this possible. He's been doing this for years and is a master of his craft, so to show some support i donated $7 and i think everybody who enjoy playing their backups should do the same.  On another note, we all should know by now that every year around this time we should take precautions when updating our system and wait for c4eva to work his magic. i can live without xbox live for 2 months (while waiting for new firmware)  out of a 12 month year. Once again thanks to c4eva and the team, i can't wait for you to start working on the ps3!

Not untill you try to hack into it. But fortunately they are still uncommon. Increasing by the time though. They appeared with kinect, so good chance those before kinect are 935.

As for the first Benq and Lite-On, then Slims, it is possible, but that transcript was from and earlier conversation. He later said, when asked about Hitachi 78/79, "maybe".
Point is that at the beginning it was thought that earlier Hitachi and all Samsung could play with no problems AP2.5 games, but actually it's all a hit or miss, since a very large part of Samsung, even though they wont flag the console, still wont play the game.
I'm sure c4eva will do something about those drive too.

My mate just confirmed his september 4gb slim that wasnt a kinect bundle has the 2nd revision

Then it's worse than I thought...
Still they are uncommon, but started to get around earlier than thought.

By the way, in the Italian Xbox community it's been found a method to update to the kinect dash without the AP2.5 protection. Those who tried say it works.
It's from ixtrememod wordpress, I have the link and all, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to post here other sites links, am i?
If you're all interested I can traslate it.

SSv3 is the mechanism by which 'the scene' will combat the AP2.5 checks, it is not something which is 'implemented into new games'.  If a new or old game disc is/has been pressed with the extra security layer, it is a candidate for AP2.5 checks.  The dashboard (via Live or not when offline) is responsible for deciding whether or not an AP2.5 check should be attempted.  If the dashboard notices that your DVD drive is a Samsung, it will NEVER attempt an AP2.5 check.  This is why Samsung users needn't care about how new or old games are pressed (at least not in the near future).

If I were you I would update to the new dashboard with almost no worries.  I assume c4eva won't bother with LT+ for Samsungs (I don't see the advantage), so if you don't update the dash you will never be able to play any games which require it.

I have a Samsung and I can't play even the original Assassin's Creed game...will c4eva work something for samsung drives as well?

"It has been mentioned that when the data cable is not connect to drive when the 360 is powered on it makes a record of it in a file in the nand. Its a pre-caution many others and I take in case they decided to ban on that specific case."

No i tried it a few years ago, and it fried my xbox.

just get a ck 1/2/3 or use your xbox without the video lead plugged in, i believe it wont start up correctly if you do this.

And this happens to a whole lot of Samsung. It's more of a hit or miss thing, for samsung to be able to play AP3.5 games.
