I modded my 360 about 2.5 or 3 years ago. It has a very old firmware.. The 360 is already banned from live so i dont care about live.. anyway.. i am wondering if i HAVE to update to play newer games. i havent been playing 360 in about 6 months or so and now i am going beck to it.. and the newest game i tried to play wouldnt load.. thanks in advance for answers.

depending on what firmware you are running i believe since you are already banned from live you could just patch the game with abgx to play on your firmware

New firmwares do stealth and integrity checks on backup games to ensure that they are legit and to prevent banning.

If you have a firmware that does not have stealth/integrity checks on it, it will boot anything and you therefore would not have to update it.

As far as I am aware, the only thing that has changed over the years in terms of firmware is security measures.

What games is it, and what is the newest game that you played before that one? Do you know which firmware you installed?
