I have the xbox 360 with NME 360 2.0 chip (at least the installer told me it's 2.0 and not 1.2) and never had problems with backups. But now, since i updated the dashboard to version x, i discovered that some games doesn't work now (modern warfare 2, black ops, halo reach...)
I always do the same: Check the iso file with abgx and then use nme associator. But now that doesn't work with some games.
Please people, tell me what should i do now to get this and future games with AP25 to work.
It is possible to make games with AP25 working in consoles with chip NME 360 2.0, without custom firmware, and console dash version being 2.0.13146.0 ?
thanks for the help! i'm really lost now

Remove that thing from your drive and flash LT+ 1.9 and your issues will be resolved.
are you saying me that i need to remove the NME chip and therefore, throw to the trash all my backups patched specifically for NME?

Yes trash them and re-rip them from your originals the proper way.

the rest of the games would work fine mate once you patch it to NME format
COD and those games you mention won't work cause the dash prevents it from booting
no need to remove the chip.

because your chip is obsolete. it won't play the newest games, and there won't be an update to change that. you have to choose if you want to play new games, or if you want to stick with your current solution. the reason that those specific games you mentioned worked before and not now is because they weren't ap2.5 games, and then microsoft retroactively enabled ap2.5 on them through a dashboard update (aka they can break compatibility with more games whenever they feel like it)
right now there are 6 ap2.5 games, but there will be more, i assure you.

so, i only need to flash the dvd reader with LT+ and i will be able to play ap25 games like halo: reach and black ops, and previous games without ap25 patched with nme associator will continue working?
and i would need to patch latest and future ap25 games with nme associator or not? thanks!

no you don't need to reflash the drive...just use the associator to patch your games and you good to go.

that's what i did for halo: reach...i patched the game with abgx first (autofix level 3, it filled up the ap25 sector) and then with nme associator and it doesn't work..."error: unsupported disk" (the equivalent in spanish)

I'm not sure I understand DarkMod's comment. Is he saying I can just use a different backup method and that will allow me to play the latest AP25 games using my old NME chipped drive?
I'ved used this NME 2.0 chip for 3 years and it is great. No messing with constant updates it just worked. Now my box is dead dead so I must decide weather to spoof my new 360's key onto my old NME chipped drive or flash the brand new drive. I already here if I flash it with LT 1.9 I might not be able to play the games coming out in Sept since they may require LT 2.0. This is why I loved the chip I didn't ever have to flash anything.

Nooooooooooooo! I may be too late in stopping you throwing away your discs.
Standard Xbox 360 backup copies only work on flashed drives. Those people that have the NME chip need to run the ISO through a special program called NME Associator.
The resulting ISO is then burnt normally and will then work on ANY X360 that has either a flashed drive or an NME mod chip.

...the previous game patch NME members will continue to work?
Yes.
