I got GTA episodes form liberty city and only had 2 disks, so i burnt it before abgx360 had the update out to check the stealth.
I then got the one shot boot disc and played it once just to test it out ( not before the release date)
I've just update to iextreme 1.6.1 put gta in and it booted, no need for the activate disk.
My question is with the new features on 1.6.1 does this mean the GTA is patched ok and is safe?
I ran abgx360 on the image of GTA and i get:

Failed to find a verified ini file for this Xex/SS combination

Is this not safe? i dont have any other disk to write it again i used my last one on that one shot boot disk.
Even tho i havent played it online i heard something about the xbox logs what i've played and if not properly stealth patched then when i go online it will let M$ know?
Something weird is going on there. If you look at the first log where you're checking the image, it says this: -

It then finds that .ini file and the game checks out fine. I've just checked my burned disc and it gives exactly the same results - the same .ini and everything checks out fine.
But if you look at what happens when you try and check your disc in abgx360: -

It's looking for a completely different .ini file. Why is it doing that? The .ini file should be the same in both logs assuming the image that you scanned in the first log is what was burned to the disc you're scanning in the second log. Something is definitely not right there. I wouldn't trust that burned disc.

The first log is fine. It says "stealth status is uncertain" because as you say, it doesn't recognise the wave 4 partition, but then it downloads the .ini file and checks the details with the verified version, all of the CRCs match, therefore it's as safe to play as a wave 1, 2 or 3 game that passes everything in abgx360. That's why it then says "Verification was successful, Stealth passed!" at the bottom.
The second log is not fine because for some reason it's trying to download a completely different .ini file from the database, which it can't find. It should be downloading the same .ini from the first log assuming he didn't download and scan 2 totally different rips of the game.
i downloaded the game then burn it straight away. the 2nd log is of that disk, the fisrt log is of the image once abgx360 brought out the update for GTA
So what could or deffantly happen because i tried that disk?
and how come it loads without the one shot boot on 1.6.1 if it checks for the stealth?
Originally posted by hookie66: and how come it loads without the one shot boot on 1.6.1 if it checks for the stealth?
The firmware doesn't know the correct stealth files for every single game. It just checks to see that some stealth files are present and that the wave is either 1-3 (or 1-4 with iXtreme 1.61).
If you burned that image to disc, you should get the same results from disc as you do from the image, so something is f*cked up. I would try burning it again personally.
EDIT -
Quote:i downloaded the game then burn it straight away.
That's probably why then. The original scene ISO needed autofixing. If you didn't autofix it before you burned it, but you did autofix it before posting that log (the log of the image) then that could explain the differences and in that case you would be wise to reburn the image now that it's been autofixed.
Is it true tho that because i tried the game and it could of not been stealth properly even tho i didnt play it online M$ can still know because a log is created or is that only if you play the game early?
