Team Underdog Introduces new DVD FW PatchMod: NME-360 v2.0
Posted by XanTium | October 28 19:48 EST | News Category: Xbox360
Team Underdog released a new DVD FW Patch Mod, called NME-360 v2.0, that will work with all current Xbox360 DVD drives: [QUOTE] Welcome back everybody. We are proud to announce the release of NME-360 v2.0!
We have been silent for the last few months in order to continue our developments to meet the new market needs. The result of our long and hard work is the birth of NME-360 v2.0 which is a fully upgradable DVD-drive mod for the Xbox360. It supports all Samsung MS25 + MS28 drives, all Hitachi 46 - 79 drives (FL and FK) and all BenQ drives. Once a new Xbox360 DVD-drive hits the market it will be an ease for the customer or wholesaler to upgrade the chip to make it compatible to that new drive too. Besides the cool upgrade feature we have added another security feature which is the optional ability to either disable the back USB port or the internal network adapter of the XBox360. This way you can install the NME-360 depending on how you are going online, wlan or lan, and use the network off feature anyway. Using the Actel A3P060 technology we are meeting the highest standard in the industry which automatically results in a very stable working chip with no dre's whatsoever. Final samples have already reached a few resellers who are pretty amazed of the stable booting especially in BenQ drives. The first sales batch will hit the market in the first or 2nd week of November.
Features of the NME v2: - one chip for all drives: Samsung ms25 and ms28, Hitachi/LG 46,47,58,59, 78 FL/FK, 79 FL/FK, all BenQ drives!!! - Added logic to support possible future Hitachi/LG versions as well - 100% Auto detection of Backup or Original on Samsung and Hitachi drives (BenQ requires manual switching) - boots stealth and non-stealth backups - optional: Power Led will turn off when a Backup is detected - optional: disables the network when playing backups - optional: disables the rear USB connection when playing backups (for disabling USB Wlan) - no DVD writer model issues. Works with all DVD writers - now working with pioneer 111d and Pioneer based burners as well as all LG burners. - 100% Firmware Stealth, when MS tries to read the Firmware then it replies as 100% original unmodified. No error code E66. - optional: 100% Live secure when playing Backups - teh result of 1000s of hours of research and programming - based on Actel Logic for most possibly stability - Manufactured with highest quality Logic, PCB and components. Made in Europe. - Complies with RoHS directive (lead free). Gold plated solder pads, for easy soldering. [/QUOTE]

Glad they decided to do an upgradeable chip.
*waits for coming "they ripped off c4eva" etc posts*
I think its needed. Its easier for me to do a chip. For some reason, lately, I haven't been able to flash a single drive. No hardware changes on my PC, yet I can't flash anything.

IMO a modchip is only worth having for the 360 if you can downgrade your kernel with it and run homebrew etc. If not then a drive mod through software is more than enough.

Btw NME, great job ripping off ixtreme benq!
I find it funny they have been pushing their release times back and back that coincide with ixtreme, and the DAY after ixtreme benq is released all of a sudden they announce the new chip with benq support.
This chip offers nothing that you can do via software alone, and MUCH more work than whats neccessary. I hope no one bothers to buy this.

The fact is they didnt did they? It was after which looks to me why they have ripped iXtreme off. I agree with Iriez. They have totally ripped of the BenQ iXtreme that c4eva released. Actually it wouldnt surprise me that they just have the flash of c4eva's installed on one of the banks lol
