hey guys i recently had my set flashed with iXtreme 1.6 and tried looking around for some answers with the search functions but didnt really have much luck in answering my queries.
Assuming i am using iXtreme 1.6
1. I read somewhere that iXtreme 1.6 will stop non-stealth discs from playing, however when i pop in a copy of street fighter 4 which had failed the ABGX Stealth check it still managed to load (I was off line at the time and quickly ejected it after it loaded). So does iXtreme 1.6 really stop unsafe discs from being played? or do i still have to manually monitor this with ABGX before i put in any new discs?
2. Using ABGX is there a way to change the region of my game so that it will play on my Region's Xbox.
3. Many of the backups i have (which are pressed discs/not burned) state that the Stealth Status is Unverified is this normal?I have tried ripping the images of these backups with clone CD and trying to patch them again with ABGX but this always fails as well.
4. Can Microsoft detect discs that are non stealth when its in the drive but you do not run the game?
Sorry for the noobish questions but really hope you guys can help me out on these issues as paranoia has led to me Staring at my Xbox all day and not daring to pop a disc in !! :)

Yes, iXtreme does not allow non-stealthed or corrupted discs to play. Your version of Street Fighter 4 was probably unverified by the ABGX data base. That means it has stealth, it just didn't match what ABGX had in it's data base (that doesn't mean you have bad rip, it just didn't match).

Unfortunately not.

Yes, that is normal. There will times when the original disc you have will not match the stealth in the ABGX data base, again, this is normal.

Yes, games that have no SS, DMI, PFI, would be detectable by Microsoft.
