about pressed disc.
actually there a lot of "not original" xbox game disc from china that sold is a PRESSED DISC from factory.
they already do that since the PS1 era if i remember correctly. Sold "not original" pressed disc.

but unfortunalely i dont have those so cant test whether factory pressed "not original" blackops disc from china is working like original or not...

How can it be a not original pressed disk.only not original disks sold like that from china are on a dvdr
It even states you need a fw mod .if this was available it would be advertised all over certain sites .
They would need the master to recrete the correct angles so this so called not pressed disk(wtfe that is)
Would be no better than the dvdr .i dont see the big woo haa myself this game people are MEANT to
Have originals here.with hdd drives up to 320gb there needing a backup copy is clearly a lie..

Looks like Xkey360 is going to be the way to go, least then i'll only have to patch the ISO everytime AP2.5 changes, and not keep re-burning discs.

I doubt that would be live safe at the min .hell I would like one .I would like my entire game collection
To be at hand so I dont have to get up and swap a disk (without the use of a jtag beacuse I want live)..

i don't understand why only a few games are ap25... if they were all like that m$ will have us annoyed for months, which will force pirates to buy the games... i for one like to buy the games that i feel are worthy.

Anyways m$ only update the dash rarely so its not a big problem... but if m$ were to either update every month... or do live update hot fixes then we would pretty much be screwed.

doesn't bother me, only games worthy are cod, halo & gow .. for an online gamer.

wrong, wrong & wrong or maybe right if your a mental fan boy but otherwise (IMHO) they all should be ap2.5million so they never get pirated or played and the game market can open up to other honest good games that don't get a chance like BC2 or soon to be BF3 or even games that don't exist for that matter, cause those 3 shitters are stealing the market and crushing people into thinking they don't have a chance at developing.

Im just so sick of hearing about black op's this, black ops that, when is black ops gonna be booting if you love the game that fuckin much buy the waste of space, remember there are hundreds of other games to play

And to be clear this is my personal opinion so have a hitler fit if you want i dont much care

Unfortunately everyone who wants to stay on LIVE, seems that playing is being over...... Look how much people working pretty hard to get results and "suddenly" more challenges arrived, 140+ challenges seems a lot of work!!!

its legit, but samsung drives and the hitachi drives this apply to only come in xenon/zephyr models, which means you are very prone to RRoD. also, the system must have come with one of these drives originally. if you put a samsung/hitachi drive in a newer system, it just fails the ap2.5 checks automatically.

what you want to do works for all samsung drives, and all hitachi's except for the 78/79 drives.g

can confirm this too, i have a hatachi drive that boots eveything (on LT+1.1)
But its the fact they are older systems, just like the JTag systems that are out there,
they just feel very weak and worried that its gonna go RROD any second (again) !
i seem to have to reflow it maybe every say 8 months, its ok as i can do them, but every time i have to do it i feel that it will be the last its gonna take !!

ap25 clearly works but I am not sure MS is totally convinced by it. Needing the pressed disc to be identical to the original pattern has already caused false positives on dirty or scuffed originals.

With the small number of test games with ap25 and the ramping up of the challenges used my guess would be that they are using the later years of the 360 generation to test security for possible use it whatever next gen they are working on. AP25 locking firmware and gen3 discs just seem to me to be field testing ideas, they inconvenience pirates and MS get to see how the scene responds to each innovation.

totally agree here ! its an excellent test field with the a lot of subjects involved with a place like this giving excellent and all all the feedback they need!
just like how the xbox1 gave the 360 the backbone and stuctual and knowledge for security so will the 360 do for the next gen ! the next gen is gonna be a unbelievable challenge !
(unlike sony !!! that company is just a joke, seems like that company just does'nt have any kind of internal comunication !)

This sucks, all the good new games will have this, and they (MS) will start changing it on a regular basis! Looks like the good ole days of playing backups is almost over!

the good old days wont ever dissapear... what will dissapear is backups on live without alot of hassle/wait. looks like ms is doing a good job. perhaps more people will be inclined to actually buy the retail copies to match their backups

2 points, 1. just buy the ap25 you wanna play badly enough to call and post here about

and 2 evolution will play its part here as it always does, as the methods get harder and the security increases well find more ways to circumvent it as M$ try harder to secure drives they innevitably make it that complex for themselves theyll give us yet another option look at just as in past descoveries such as blowing efuses to stop jtagging gave us ability to prevent our nand being written to and so on

cut traces, emulation, new pcbs 1 companies effort to beat the population of millions across the globe hmmmmm i wonder who will eventually win

" you ever see tom catch jerry ?? "

well Tom = M$ and Jerry = US

Yeah almost 6 years since I have joined this site & I now broke the 20 post mark
to be honest though if I need to know something I don't just post I research for ages
& usually find the answer. Thats why I love this site & visit it 5+ times a day.

I totally agree also with your statement. the answers to most questions are out there, there isn't much need to repost the same questions one after another.

been here quite awhile also, 281 posts in 9 years of membership and member number 1272, still the best xbox site around.

News likes this makes me just want to put the stock firmware back on my Live XBOX and just stick to playing backups on my JTAG.

That's the plan. MS' new strategy appears to be overwhelming C4, and forcing more "downtime" than uptime. They know it is frustrating and discouraging.

I'm tempted to bring my RROD back to life. Pretty sure it has a Samsung drive. Before I upgraded the dash on my Liteon I installed the game to my HDD so my original Black Ops, which has the deep circular scratch from moving the Xbox while on, can still load fine.

if M$ keeps on updating on a regular basis I will just leave my xbox open so it's easy to flash every time.
