[01:57] <+c4eva> other drives are on the agenda

[01:58] <+c4eva> Even hitachi!

[01:58] <n8ofsp8ds> preferred SS v2 ? what if its v1

[01:58] <+c4eva> SS v2 is best, yes!

[02:00] <chieftex> THE question is - do we flash to stock first before accepting any updates from LIVE?

[02:00] <+c4eva> chieftex:that will be answered soon!

[04:20] <+RapStar> leaked fw was the same as this one people say

[04:21] <+c4eva> rapstar:no its not

[04:32] <+c4eva> ss v1 created using a 360 drive is fine, kreon is not!

[04:33] <+DxS> so if u wanna be safe, rip ur own games with a 360 drive

[04:33] <+DxS> 0800 standalone fw

[04:33] <+c4eva> dxs:correct

[18:50] <+c4eva> hello

[18:51] <@[TONE]> has there been changes by m$ yet on the discs?

[18:53] <+c4eva> yes, a very slight change in alignment , wave 3 onwards i think, so as to identify kreon rips!

[18:59] <+lt83850> c4 - elaborate more on calibration data when you get time as well, why was the addition added

now if it wasn't even discussed for months? any additions?

[19:14] <+c4eva> cal data is not accessed by fw code at all but could be used by other processes,its value is

still unknown, but since full dumps are now available, included for correctness



[12:07] <ratodopar> lt has no stealth i guess

[12:07] <+c4eva> LT has full stealth

[12:10] <|avfc2k|> c4eva whats best for banned box wave loading wise the non stealth or LT?

[12:10] <+c4eva> LT

[12:11] <ratodopar> even new games are ssv1

[12:12] <+c4eva> ssv1 from a 360 drive is good!

[12:14] <+c4eva> kreon:wave1 ,wave 2 ok, but 360 drive is always best!

[12:18] <Kushan> Right now SSv1 is fine, SSv2 is only needed if something changes. Splitvid is NEEDED for iXtreme

LT. There you go.

[12:19] <Kushan> when SSv2 is "needed", it'll be for games from that point onwards, not previous game

[12:20] <Kushan> SSv1/SSv2 are a firmware thing from c4eva and co

[12:20] <Kushan> it just refers to the angles used when the game disk is pressed

[12:21] <+c4eva> 359 is left as is, if jitter result is 360 then it is set to 0

SSv1 game are probably not safe to use on an Xbox that you want to stay un-banned, whether you are connected to the internet when you play them or not. This is really just speculation since we don't know much about MS security features, but why not err on the side of caution, you know? There's no use in crying of spilled milk, so don't worry about what you've done in the past, just start using SSv2 now.

You can patch SSv2 into games that don't have it by ABGX and a downloaded, legit, SSv2 file from the ABGX website, or other places. You then use ABGX to manually patch the file into the ISO when the patching process is executed.

Click the "manually patch" tab. Click "SS". Choose your SS file.

Where would you get the SS files from? and is this the best thing to do?

Here is a guide on manually patching ssv1 to ssv2 in 12 simple steps

1:Go to _http://abgx360.net/verified.php, use the blue number on the right hand side of your game to obtain an SS and DMI combination (still must match the XEX of your game)

2:Load ABGX360, Go to the "Manually Patch or Extract Files" tab,

3:Tick "Patch even if stealth passes

4:Tick the Patch SS, & Patch DMI, then browse for the files you just downloaded.

5:Go to the options tab and UN-tick "Verify if stealth passes

6:Click "LAUNCH", The files should be patched and will say "patched successfully" for each one.

7:FINALLY, load the ABGX360 default settings again, (reselect the game iso if needed)

8:Misc tab, make sure "Add if it doesnt exist or isnt valid" is selected for Splitvid

9:Options tab, make sure "Verify if stealth passes" is checked

10:UN-tick any boxes still ticked under "Manually Patch or Extract Files"

11:(the above should really all be enabled as default settings if they are not already. If you had to change to any of them, hold CTRL then press S to save your settings and choose "Default"

12:Click "LAUNCH", If the game now shows SSv2, ALL CRC's Match, and you get Verification Successful at the end of the test, AND it says SPLITVID VALID (or added), YOU NOW HAVE SSv2 and SPLITVID, YOUR GAME MATCHES OUR RETAIL RIP, so you are good to go.
