This is the Official Xbox 360 Hacking/Support thread. If you need any help with the Xbox 360 or even the original, I can't help with the original but other members can, just post here. I check the forums almost every day so you will get an answer to your problems. Also, a lot of other members here are well educated in 360 hacking and modding.
cliff notes: new games have updates (mlb2k9, hawx, etc), ix1.5 and before wont play them, we need a new ix. 1.6 is coming soon.
[17:48:28] <+c4eva> new video partition support in ix1.6 , coming soon!
[01:32:30] <+c4eva> topo:i did Smile
[01:33:11] <+c4eva> hello
[01:36:29] <+c4eva> finishing hitachi 1.5 this week, then 1.6 for all drives!
[01:37:52] <+c4eva> 1.6 will have 0800 dumping for all drives including hitachi along with new video partition support!
[01:38:35] <+c4eva> 0800 is in windows mode only
[05:17:14] <+c4eva> originals should be unaffected by the new video wave 3 on ixtreme fw
[05:18:30] <onge> c4eva: is it hard to fix this problem?
[05:18:40] <+c4eva> no
<@KarateBob> new games are coming out with the nxe update on the disc
<@KarateBob> and the only place microsoft could put it was in the video partition
<@KarateBob> now, old firmwares and games didnt always have a video partition, so when ixtreme was made, they got it to check the video partition
<@KarateBob> and if its crc didnt match wave 1 or wave 2, then the game wouldnt boot
<@KarateBob> now, this is wave 3, so ixtreme wont boot new games
<@KarateBob> if you need to boot the game, then wait for 1.6, or use a non-stealth firmware.
<@KarateBob> such as Benq_iXtreme_1.41_Rev_2_Non-Stealth_Multispeed.rar, C4EVA_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_4_Stealth.rar (im not sure if that works on 78/79) or xtreme53.rar in the xbins directory: /XBOX 360/firmware/hacked firmware/Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943/_old/
<@KarateBob> Sorry, there is no non-stealth firmware for Lite-On

Hey there you're thinking great MLB 2K9
not that great
This info needs to get out!
People need to know there is gonna be problems with new games.
I've included all the info we have found and also forwarded the
info and the rls to the stealth and fw teams.
Basically,
We have security features in the modded fw we use.
these features make sure that the PFI and Video are from Wave 1 or Wave 2
this was done to insure games not burnt right or with the data missing
wouldn't boot and lead to bannings.
When we used the program we all use to check our games we noticed that
MLB 2K9 Had a new pfi and Video A so called 3rd wave.
Here is the 3rd video wave from below
PFI CRC = 2A4CCBD3
PFI does not match known data (could be corrupt or a new wave not seen before)
Displaying suspicious PFI in hex and ascii:
OFFSET 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
0x0000 01 02 31 10 00 03 00 00 00 FC FF DF 00 03 97 5F 1 . n . _
0x0010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
now for those of you that don't know what that means
THIS GAME WILL NOT BOOT ON CURRENT MOD
The only way we could get the game too boot was by rolling back our mod to 1.41 non stealth on a benq
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys you do not want to do this.The people working on this are
the best.Do not take a chance with your console.
CoFree
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not too much can be done about this untill we see another new game to see if this is the new way or what
there is question if they <censor>ed up and its just mlb 2k9 like this
no one knows
no one can know untill another new game surfaces.
We've sectioned off the area in question with special lines in the saved output below.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION WHEN RIPPING NEW 360 GAMES
THE RIPPING APPS WE USE MIGHT NEED TO BE RE WRITTEN TO ALLOW FOR THIS CHANGE
ITS ALL BEING LOOKED INTO
IT WILL NOT BOOT ON IX1.5
I know the FW team will be getting a new mod and then ppl will want it.
I have notified teamstealth about this.
We need this info out.
