QUOTE(-= Virgil =- @ May 6 2007, 09:59 PM) Ok! Latest update on those modded console regarding the upcming dashboard update. For those who modded their consoles, it may be your last night to go on LIVE before the dashboard update comes on LIVE. The Xtreme firmware crew just release a new version of their firmware version with a new patch regarding the dashboard update. So for those Samsung dvd drives, you guys are in good luck because there is a new update on the firmware but then if your dvd drive is a Hitachi, be prepared for the worst, there is no news on an updated firmware on the Commodore firmware for Hitachi... So be prepared for anything ranging from BRICK-ed console to BAN of your precious GOLD account! Good luck to all those who modded their console.  hopefully it won't ter-brick those innocent original consoles like the last update. tis is supposed to make those modded boxes' lives tough.  |

Posting something related to piracy will get massive criticism here anyway so why dont you search it for yourself and satisfy yourself with it. Nothing wrong with quoting the source. Not surprisingly, it's xbox-scene for me. |

Care to xplain anyone? |

From what I read, the update will make the console give "Dirty Disc Error" when it detected pirated games and refuse to boot. We'll know for sure tomorrow.  |

from xbox-scene: Modders Beat Microsoft to the Punch: Xtreme v5.3 WIP QUOTE I spoke with Commodore4Eva who is coding the updates for the Xtreme firmwares and he did a quick Q&A with me
* Gameswank: With a current working firmware, why is there a need for a new version of the Xtreme Fw?
* Commodore4Eva: It was let known to me that MS received a report on how to detect backup games sometime ago and were working on it for the dash update, so I thought it timely to release this firmware this weekend
* Gameswank: You say that you had some inside info that the spring update would have the ability to detect and possibly ban 360 modded users from their console and or XBOX Live?
* Commodore4Eva: The method won't detect modded drives but can detect a backup disk and make it not boot, banning someone for a copied disk would be harsh and damaging to MS themselves both in revenue and popularity
* Gameswank: Thanks for your time; I better let you go so you can make some gamers happy! Oh by the way when can expect the new Xtreme V5.3 Patch to be released?
* Commodore4Eva: Saturday night at midnight before Microsoft gets a chance to release theirs
Currently Version 5.3 of the Xtreme Firmware will only support the Samsung series of Xbox360 DVD drives. Though I am told other versions are currently underway, also beta testers have been testing this new version for a week now, and Im told they have a system where they test it and report any bugs before general distribution. So come release everything should be fine.
We also managed to get a little info on a few of the new features of the Xtreme firmware V5.3:
* Support added for DVD drive to Report as Hitachi 79
* Disc-Jitter added for Challenge Types 5/7 to avoid possible replay detection. |

I'm thinking of stopping the use of Yahoo Messenger and convert to Live Messenger after the Spring Update arrives. I still can message my current Yahoo Messenger contacts using Live Messenger.  |

The Spring Update will add support for Live Messenger, and since Live Messenger on PC supports messaging with Yahoo Messenger's contact, I assume that Live Messenger on Xbox 360 will do the same. |

What's the rush? Not really looking forward to the new update actually...
I dun see much improvements to the GAMING experience, just makes things more difficult for us.
Most the new stuff is more for other purposes, Live Messenger? Better to do it on the PC/Notebook while gaming ler... Its still 1 on 1 chat only... Would be super if we can have mutli-chat in a single channel.
