Hey All,

Been out of the scene for a very long time. I flashed my fat benq drive a few years ago when I was in college using a VIA card. While in college my system got banned for running backups. I am looking to upgrade to the newest CFW but dont really know the newest procedures or what the best CFW version is I am looking for.

Since I dont need live access is there a firmware that doesnt need all the checks?

Im just looking for a CFW that can play my newer backups. We dont allow my youngest onto Xbox live.

I have used jungleflasher in the past and still have a backup of my DVD key.

Thanks for the help,

Older Modder

The last version of custom firmware for the benq was LT Plus-benq-v1.1, this will play latest XGD3 backups. Suggest you download the latest jungleflasher and guide first and have a read up. I would return the drive back to stock firmware first then manually update the dashboard to the latest version before putting the custom firmware on the drive. You should still be good to go with your via chipset.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the help. I should have my OFW somewhere. Im guessing that since i have my DVD key I can get it by "certain" means if i do not?

Yes retrieving the benq key should not be a problem

I got it all to work! Thanks so much for the information! Very helpful.

I flashed back to OFW which I still had, updated and then flashed to LTplusv1.1. I can still play the older games I had burnt but am having trouble with some of the newer ones. Shouldnt this firmware version be able to play everything? Reading around a lot on the internet I keep seeing posts that I need version 2 or 3 for some games.  

Was it just a bad burn or am I stuck with only certain games?
