4th Update From C4eva Options

[tripkip]

I'm wondering the following:

For example take black ops, it's SSV2. So imagine LT+ comes out.
All good we can play our backups online.
Now a few days later there is an update for black ops enabling AP25.

Does this mean we'd need to modify the image and reburn it?

Thumbs up for you Commodore4EVA! Good luck.

Yes, new 0800 and possibly new XBC as I said ages ago

just hope that no new hardware would be involved for updating to LT+ for fat 360s

No, Not likely for the slim either (Although using external power eg; CK3 mk3 or similar is strongly recommended for other reasons)

[gamesquest1]

right just as i have read it there is a software method for flashing the new slim drives, which has already been confirmed,

yes every game that is capable of ss v3 could in theory recieve a title update with a new xex to add ap 2.5 to a once non ap 2.5 disk

yes if ap 2.5 is added via a title update you will eighter have to play offline with no updates or reburn with ss3 data

hopefully a "respected" member will confirm these, but im 100% sure this is the case, dispite it seems impracticle for them to get publishers to make patches to add ap 2.5 to all games since fifa 09 but i bet all the popular games will such as cod and halo and such, just to get some more flags ready for next OMG 1 billion players banned from live event lol

Be careful with Black Ops guys if you're still using LT online as that is the game which they know most users will be playing right now so I wouldn't be surprised if the next update for it includes a nasty little gift from Microsoft.

My only two questions...

Can we play Black Ops and other backups that do not have AP2.5 online with the latest LT?

If I have a BenQ spoofed as a Lite-On.. how to fuck do I upgrade to LT+? Just spoof the spoofed FW with LT+?

Some knowledgable member please answer these two.. Cheers.

yes, so far you can play all non ap2.5 games with the latest LT online. (as said a couple posts above, this might change, but who knows)

afaik, ap2.5 checks for the osig, so get yourself a spare lite-on and flash it with LT+ when it comes. As already known for a long time spoofing is detectable and not recommended. If ap2.5 checks osig as well, spoofed drives will not boot that game

What if you use real game disc but have a spoofed drive? Would this be a problem?

[cypher21]

I think so, since the osig does not match the drive

should be benQ also all the other updates talked about both slim/benQ. c4eva is pretty awesome

Quick, probably dumb question...If I am already banned, and play strictly offline, will I be affected at all by this? Will I still be able to play my backups without having to update to the new dash? I was getting ready to flash a friends box for him as well, and I just wanted to get a little clearer picture about we are looking at. Thanks in advance,

The newest games force you to update the dash by the looks of it so you've got no choice. Your AP2.5 backups then won't boot unless your original drive is Hitachi (pre 78) or Samsung as they can't handle the new checks and skip them. It's no good getting a Hitachi/Samsung and spoofing it as your Liteon/Benq as it won't work.

When LT+ comes out for the various drives later this year the AP2.5 discs will then start to work.

simple answer no. If you have to ever update the dash then you would have to do it via the update on the disc as the game would require it and would tell you and everything should be fine, that is how it has been so far.... If of course you chose not to update the dash(dunno why u would chose not to when you would have to) then of course you would have to find alternative ways/methods of running the game.

As for the newer games.....we cant play them yet until the new LT+ firmware is out

So if you system has the latest FW and you are playing a real copy of the game are you in any trouble of being banned? I updated the dash but I haven't played any backups recently... Black Ops but it was a legit disc and getting NFS:HP and AC:BH tomorrow

From what I've been reading the last week or two, as soon as you update to the latest dash you can be flagged for banning, regardless of booting any disc. You can check using XVal 2.0, search the forums on how to use it and where to get it.



I'm happy it should get released this side of xmas!

Where can I donate to him?

if LT+ doesn't come for Hitachi, and Hitachi 78/79 support ap2.5. <- is this a fact?

Does anyone think its likely you can spoof a Lite-on in place of the v78/79 Hitachi and pass the ap2.5 challenge with LT+ on the Lite-on?

Does the dash check which drive should be there, or does it just assume the right drive is there a send the ap2.5 challenge? is the challenge the same on all compatible drives?

So basically can you swap an ap2.5 compatible drive for a different make ap2.5 compatible drive and get away with it ?

im not sure how spoofing works ive only ever replaced faulty drives with the same make/model drives. which i assume is ok
