Upcoming Xtreme 5.x details + Live update? *updated* Posted by Iriez | November 21 01:28 EST

Commodore4eva has given me some updated information on the upcoming xtreme 5.x series for the TS-H943. ETA on release is a few days. Upcoming features! * Single Layer SS support for both XBOX1 and XBOX360 games! * XBOX360 File based iso support (no more raw dumps) So, for some clarification this will NOT allow you to use your previously backed up XBOX1 games on the xbox360. This will however allow you to reburn your games to another single layer dvd-r with patched SS,DMI,PFI so it will be functional. XBOX360 file based iso will still require SS,DMI,PFI + Video.iso for media stealth (and just SS/video for basic functionality). This also means that many xbox360 games will now work on single layer disc's! FEAR is only 3.9GB file based (as opposed to 7+GB RAW dump), and GOW is 6.2 *including* the video stuff! *update* As far as the dash update, its schedualed to be a upgrade to include the movies and tv options. We'll have to wait and see if they include any other little surprises!

[gaming fanboy]

great nes but i confused but good!

[kingpickle]

Awesome. cant wait to try it!

You're just plain awesome Commodore4eva!

I wonder how many 360 games actually would fit in a single layer dvdr. This will save a lot of $$ to get my games backed up in single layer dvdr's instead of the dual layer.

Great Job and THANKS!!!!!!

Yes, good news is that im getting a hitachi v78 to c4e early next week, so he will be working on getting flash routines working. GaryOPA has had a v78 for several weeks, but has been MIA since..so i dont know his progress. Either way, we will soon have two parties working on it. c4e is also interested in working on hitachi firmware So, keep your hopes up, the future holds good news for hitachi-stealth.

Wow... the development of the Xtreme firmware never ceases to amaze me. Kudos to Commodore :-)

[Matt_Tracy]

Hmm...

ISO support = people will find ways to cheat by altering the files = Microsoft will try even harder to start banning people?

That's one of the main reasons people were banned from the original XBL, aside from piracy of course.

Any ideas what the live update is? Something to counter the DVD firmware's? Just wondering because it was vague.

Looks like you have one hell of an inside source. Maybe you havent turned your 360 on for a while, but there is a big notice about 11.22.06 being when the movies and tv shows will be available. Probably gonna need a dash update to accomplish this. You guys all give yourselves too much credit, thinking that MS is going to make a dash update just to squash your pirating.

[blue45]

well see, i hope its just a regular update for the dash. But nevertheless it is a dash update which is forcefully done. And for the new games that we get, there will be another update that updates the dash through the new games, and could stop us either using xbox live, or just make an all together another error that stops the system from working with backups. I hope its neither cause i love live, but if it has to be one of the two i definitely hope its just the ban of live and not the stoppage of backups not working at all (not to say it wouldn't make regular retail and backups not work all together ). I hope we will prevail against MS as we have done in the past against every other update so far, but I do fear that we have to milk all we can get cause time is limited. This is the chance we took for modding our systems whether you like it or not. Only lime will tell if we surpass another update without any loss of functionality in our backup playing systems.
