C4Eva u r T E H M A N !

[20:05] <+c4eva> ix1.6 - Strict Wave 3 compliance! hybrid(modified disks) will not boot!

Didnt get that one. Modified as of old iXtreme Patched ?

 

[vyrus]

^ Yeah patched to run on Ix 1.5

 

[incredibulous]

modified are the ones where people have altered the video partition to run games like HAWX on older firmwares..

 

[TheGoldenTouch]

-> The new iXtreme 1.6 won't load modified Disks with hybrid StealthSectors (e.g. Games with 1.51 modified to work on 1.5). This is because of your own security.

-> There's an option with what you can turn of/on the StealthCheck on iXtreme, which means you can now load NON-Stealth Games. Though you have to activate this option everytime you want to play a NON-Stealth 360 Game. Activate it with the "activate.iso" coming with iXtreme. But iXtreme is of course still Stealth.

-> You can now dump your original 360 Games through your 360 Drive with 0800 Dumping. No need for the Kreon Drive anymore!

-> The new iXtreme 1.6 will now support StealthSectors V2, which is probably safer for you. More information about this new feature will follow soon. (!)

-> Drive Speed for games is set to 12x due to less ban-risk.

-> The new iXtreme 1.6 is finished for BenQ's and right now in testings. For Samsung's and LiteOn's it is almost finished and Hitachi is going to be the next.

Stay tuned for further information about the New iXtreme Experience (NiXE) !!

Great News Shayan bhai ~
Now thats great less ban more features

 

[R3Z0N]

So... we can play wave3 on it confirmed?

 

[Lars]

Can anyone tell me what is the feature of wave3 partition found in some games ?

 

[talalthegreat]

^yeah I was wondering that too

 

[incredibulous]

wave3 can stil b played on 1.51..

 

[BeLoShI]

Can anyone tell me what is the feature of wave3 partition found in some games ?

^yeah I was wondering that too

Its a new partition introduced by MS for the security reasons as it includes the NXE update and system with NXE try to read the information from the Wave 3 partition to allow it to boot if he finds it or else rejects it.

And yeah yasir is right iX1.51 can play them easily.

 

[faizy]

ok ...


if any of you guys flashed your 360's lite-on drives yourself .... i wanted to ask how did you do it ? .. did u make a probe yourself or bought the CK3 or other probes.... also state where you bought the probe from or how did you make it ? and what SATA chipset did you use? .. i hear the VIA 6421 is compatible only ... and where did you buy the 6421 from .. ? .. i cant seem to find it here anywehre :S

iXtreme v1.6 Released

Xtreme v1.6 - Team HyperX -THX-
>> >>A new release of the iXtreme firmware for BenQ, Samsung and LiteOn drives. Hitachi will follow at a later date (ETA unknown) as usual.

Team HyperX Presents IXtreme 1.6 firmware for Benq, Samsung and Liteon drives
Features:
-Strict Wave 3 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot!
-Strict drive speed compliance - 12x only for game discs!
-Support for SS V2!
-Integrated 0800 for game dumping including SS v2!
-Full support for all known game exceptions! eg ddr etc!
-One shot boot mode! - allows a one off boot of gamedisc without -stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time!
-Support for easy drive key/version info cmd, same as liteon!
-Strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)!

More Info
Strict Wave 3 compliance means wave 3 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 3

Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot

SS v2 suports multiple timing samples for challenges type 5 and 7 , stroing them in the SS. This is a pre-requiste for SS v3 which has support for the so called AP2.5 check. Since this has never been used or may never be used by MS we will adopt a wait and see approach and continue to monitor for its usage.

With drive in Windows mode (Tray half open on powerup) 0800 mode is activated allowing easy dumping of game disc including SS v2. In this mode the drive is also able to output drive key, fw version and drive type by using a simple custom inquiry command.

Game exceptions are integrated in the fw for games that do not comply with the strict wave checks but are legitimate. These are Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Stoked, Ping 17 disk, afro samurai

One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution.

We apologize for the short delay, but we found some last minute bugs very late and wanted to make sure you guys are safe! As usual, modifying your firmware comes with NO guarantee for safety on xbox live.

Why the name change? No reason, we just felt like it. -THX-
