I recently purchased a samsung 163c dvd rom from ebay. I actually thought i was buying a 163b but the seller informed me on arrival that the 'b' model was no longer stocked by samsung.
My question is does any firmware exist which i place on this drive to make my backups?
Originally posted by miketrev: Hi Rodders, do not use a Kreon drive for your backups, it does not capture the SS information and therefore may result in a BAN.
Best option is to use a 360 DVD drive with 0800 firmware.
So I take it they aren't releasing a firmware update to fix this on the Kreon drives?

The drives seem to have physical limitations and are unable to replicate SSv2. You can always try injecting SSv2 into the image manually. There is speculation that the next version of ABGX360 will make this process easier.
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."
