[except the new 78FK of course] * Now includes "Security Sector Extraction" for all Hitachi Drives * Included media detection 2 from Geremia and Maximus Firmware Stealth, this release just supports SS Extraction within Windows without the need to re-flash your drive back and forth between PLAY & RIP!

WOOOO!

Thanks again on your hard work you two!

This officially means that virtually every major bit of software for the 360 has released an update within the last week.

Awesome, just one question. Why is it recomended that if you don't plan on using your drive to rip games you should use the Flash15s.bat. Would it act any different? I have ordered a Samsung drive to flash the Kreon firmware with so I can make backups with that, but until I get that drive I may use the Hitachi drive to backup games, so I was just wondering what the difference is. I know that Flash15s.bat doesn't install the F900 Core but this shouldn't really effect it for anything else, right? Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank god, now n00bs will stop flashing Birdy's cause it has the media patch.

Much, much thanks to Maximus for updating this and GaryOPA for originally releasing this.

Under statement of the year.

Thanks!

So to get this straight..

Now hitachi's have stealth media AND firmware

Samsungs only stealth media.


Sorry for my ignorance but does this mean xbox live cannot see modded hitachi's now?
I know an update may be able to change things.. however there is no way for them to know now that hitachi systems are modded period?

also.. when restoring..
Take unique folder from old xlg folder (old opa release) and put it in this new maximus-garyopa release right?
then hit restore? does this unique id folder even need to be put in this release?

What no 78FK

Hey guys,

If I install this new firmware, can I burn games using Schtrom360XtractV3.0 under the 'stealth xtreme 3.0' task setting, and have the disk work in my xbox?

If I do this, will the disk perform in a stealthy fashion, or will I have to wait until a further update by GaryOpa for this to take effect.

To clarify, my main question is whether this firmware will ready 'stealth xtreme 3.0' disks regardless of whether they will act in a stealth manner or not.

Thanks,


And I'm new so go easy on me if this isn't an appropriate forum for this kind of talk.

WOW Could flashing a hitachi get anymore easier?

[Staller]

damn man I've been waiting forever for this--well i thought we were getting version 3.0 not 2.2. Guess I'll take whatever is available. Am going to flash right now and post my results when done. See you in like tem or fifteen minutes!!!

[caster420]

Awesome - works great!

Caster.

[xboxexpert]

This is awesome.

[bhazard]

WOW!!!! The Mediapatch makes a huge difference. 2 games I backed up and burnt that didn't work at all on 2.1 now work perfectly. Burnt from a NEC3550 onto verbatim and cheap playo media, both worked flawlessly. No need for the pioneer I ordered now. Cheap DL media!!!!!! wooooo, I love it. THANKS VERY MUCH TO ALL INVOLVED.

This FW is for the Hitachi drives. The media stealth is only implemented in the samsung (3.0+) but I think that Xbox backup Creator will rip the sectors that make the media stealth.

I have not been able to get Schtrom to work with my hitachi. I have read all the posts pertinent & I have only heard the samsung mentioned so I dont think it will work for ya.

If you were to rip the disk from a drive with firmware that supports stealth, you can play it on a Hitachi with this FW & it would be complete stealth. But time will tell...
