Benq LT + v1.1 support
wonder what has changed
mod edit: news article added below
QUOTE
C4E released a new version of the iXtreme LT+ modified FW for ("phat") LiteOn (74850, 83850V1, 83850V2, 93450) and BenQ DVD-drives.
What's new/fixed:
- xbox 1 backup support (iXtreme compatible, DVD9 only)
- improved pfi support
There's also some WIP news about the LT+ FW for Hitachi-LG drives on team-xecuter.com:
QUOTE
Plus after much work and heavy testing, C4E has finished the LT+ for Hitachi 78 and 79 and it is confirmed that they now boot AP25 backups ! We are currently testing and hope to announce the official release shortly. There are also plans to make LT firmware for the older Hitachi drives but without Ap25 as its not required. LT+ for Slims is the priority at the moment. FYI iXtreme 1.51 still works just fine with AP25 (many are still using the older Hitachis on XBL however we cant guarantee that it is XBL safe so use at your own risk).

A person on IRC said that 'improved pfi support' (improved Physical Format Information support) means the new firmware can handle low quality non-verb discs better, so you get less jitter and less disc read errors. But that was only what I was told on IRC so it could be an incorrect explanation...

I think it is still recommended because apparently the 'Disc Jitter' is monitored by microsoft so they could use the information when banning people. But once again that is just what I have been told over IRC so not 100%

PFI Sector (Physical Format Information):
This sector is contained within the lead-in and contains information about its physical format. Disc booktype, start PSN and end PSN and Layerbreak are contained here. Currently all Xbox360 and Xbox1 games have the same PFI information, but that may change.
On Writable media (our backups), this also contains media specific information such as Media Code/Manufacturer ID and Media Product Revision number.
Any requestes for this information is now redirected to the the PFI sector now at $04FB1D (for Xbox 360 backups) or $0605FD (Xbox 1 backups), if it exists. If it does not exist (pre V3 backup) a seperate embedded PFI is used for Xbox 360 and Xbox 1.
You should always update your firmware when a new version comes out.

I don't think that should be a problem because:
1) jitter can be caused by dying DVD drives or scratched and dirty discs. So M$ can't ban people on these bases alone, that'll end up banning a lot of people with old xboxes.
2) You can just use verbatim and install all your games on the harddrive. Which is something you should do anyway because burnt media will eventually wear down the laser.

I can't help but think why, unless your console is no longer able to connect to Live, or you simply don't use Live at all.

You can used a different type drive in your console, but it might not be safe for live. If you use a benq in place of a hitachi, it will still boot games fine, just you might risk being banned from live.

In a fair & perfect world, you'de be right. But you forget MS doesn't care about it's customers and already ban people for invalid reasons.
Let's take dvd drive replacements. Having a different drive in your console doesn't entail hacking or piracy. Just means the f'in thing broke and was fixed. Even repaired consoles returning from MS official repair centers have mismatched hardware. Yes, that's right, if your console ever broke and was repaired, even if it was repaired by MS themselves, new games won't work and you'll be banned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) By all means, feel free to spend hours on the phone with threatning customer service agents trying to explain to them that your illegally modified banned console was modified by MS.
Didn't make any sense when they started that, since all drives were hackable (excluding slims for now as irrevelent since slims didn't exist when this policy was active the first time around), there was no gain to be had by swapping drives. Even now, post AP2.5, it still doesn't make any sense since AP2.5 is a pathetic joke that was hacked right away and accomplished nothing, so it still doesn't matter what drive you have in your console as you can still do what you want regardless. If anything this should be a crime since they KNOW their own legimiate repaired consoles are going to fail & get banned through no fault of the users.
Not to mention you'll get banned for your user name, what city you live in and anything else they decide to ban you for untill you go public and make a stink on national news before they sheepishly apologize for being wrong and unban you.
You must understand that as a consumer, it's your responcibilty to cater to and support them and their whims, not the other way around. This isn't new. This is an attitude MS has held with regards to Windows OS, even before they made VG consoles. Ya know, how MS sets the rules on what hardware you are allowed to use in your computer, and what functionallity you are allowed to perform on your computer, etc.. Full screen dos window, screw you, you don't need to be doing that. Floppy support, screw you, floppys are old, you shouldn't be using them. Embedded logins in urls so you don't need to actually login, screw you, you should be letting windows store all your critical login/passwords for you.
MS is just another arrogant full of themselves company that honestly believes the end goal of the users is to accept what they are willing to provide.
To that end, I absolutly believe they will ban people for jitter and any other anomaly they can detect, regardless if it's valid or not. That they arleady do, there is no reason to expect that to change.

Haven't you notice that if you dump the firmware of a swapped by M$ drive, it wouldn't be spoofed? That's right. I've seen several of these replacements. For example an 2006 console originally with Samsung, was returned with LiteOn. When I dumped the firm (MRA) it was LiteOn, no Liteon spoofed as Samsung... So M$ easily changes the drive model.
Anyone should remember that M$ are not stupid. Every firmware was 100% safe until being detected. It's just a matter of time. In the meanwhile, the fact that the 360 is being hacked so easily sells the console worldwide, while in fact M$ are officially selling / supporting it in about 20 countries... How the hell would they sell me their console when in my country there is only PS3 support/advertisement etc.
And of course it's always better to have an unmodded 360 for online play (at least it's fare enough)
And I wanted to ask a question...
What exactly means Xbox 1 DVD9 support? Normal DVD5 games will work if burned on DL media, or it is still needed for them to be converted from DVD5 to DVD9?

Amen, M$ needs to be given some credit here. When banning they are 100% sure you are breaking their t&cs. Anyone who says they were banned on a legit original console is simply FOS. If the console was second hand and it was banned.. IT WAS FLASHED. No if buts or maybes.
There was a small mishap with banning a while ago but this was rectified very quickly by M$.

I agree. Most times when people are banned on a legit unmodified console its because they:
1) Cheated on a game
2) Used a stolen LIVE account
3) Attempt to phish information from people
4) Credit card fraud

Use Dashlaunch 2.6 or 2.7, this will disable ap2.5 checks.
U prob. need to flash the dvd if you r going to play ap2.5 games from disc,
but then again, why would anybody with a J-Tag box play from dvd?!?

it means save your drive key backup after you flash the drive, because the drive isn't going to give you your key again unless you do the mra hack.

It's obviously not the drive or the media I'm using because a) they're the same drive and media I was using this morning and it was working and
I've since flashed back to LT Plus and it's working again.I've got another Benq drive from a 3RL console and tried that one as well - the results are the same. It will play the game from this morning if it has LT Plus firmware, but not if it has LT Plus 1.1 firmware.
I've tried about 5 other backups as well - they all work with either firmware. So far it's only one game that I'm having problems with, but I'm going to work my way through my other backups and see if there are any others it has problems with.
