Also sticking with 1.6
Until there's a game that I absolutely need to play that's wave 4 (MW2?) I'll just wait for the newest FW release.

Yup, let the firmware team take their time with this. Plus they have the August 2009 Lite-ON to deal with too.

yeah same here. Hopefully it will be out soon. I can't imagine that MW2 is wave 4 but who knows.

well put leerage, and if i understand you correctly. 1.6 or even 1.5 still isnt going to be safe to play a wave 4 game, its just that 1.5 doesnt do crc checks, so the game will load, but 1.6 does a crc check. but it's still not safe because we dont have an idea of if the game is safe yet because abgx isnt updated yet to recognize the new wave, and perform patching if necessary

The term "safe" is referred to as "performing CRC checks".
iXtreme 1.51 does not have the check for the Video Partition/PFI (Wave X). So it still checks the SS and DMI to make sure those CRCs are good.
iXtreme 1.6 does check all the CRCs (strict stealth checking = checking CRCs for SS, DMI, PFI, and Video Partition). You can however deactivate those checks with the activate ISO which will enable One Shot Boot mode.
As long as your are checking the ISOs with ABGX and are getting no bad CRCs, online play will be no different whether you have firmware that does those checks or not.
ABGX360 will need to be updated to recognize the new CRCs because of Wave 4 now.
When dealing with XBOX Live and iXtreme firmware, the term "Safe" is very misleading. Basically, iXtreme is just preventing your from booting a bad backup.

Dont think Safe means Safe. You are always at risk of bans and getting caught. But if abgx checks out its still the same even if you dont let the FW check it. Everything abgx checks is on the dvd so as long as it passes there, it does not matter how you boot it on the xbox. But im sure a new FW will be on the way. Hopefully we can continue Life as we Know it.

I wouldn't go backwards. I really think every one is jumping the gun here. Why not just wait a few weeks and see what happens, i guess unless you REALLY wanna play the new Cars game.
This is just now happening, so give the powers that be the time needed to fully understand and work out everything.

There is no iXtreme 1.51 for the 83850C Lite-ON. You will have to use the activate disk if you want to play wave 4 games.

So what's this activate iso disc thing? I've never heard of it until now and I better learn up on it in case MW2 is wave 4. Do I have to open up my xbox or is it actually just a disc I burn? I'm a little confused here.

Just a disc that gets rid of stealth checking on 1.6 for one boot.

Lol, I can't await the threads of noobs asking about wave 3 and wave 4.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Wave3 first appear on a low budget game as well?

I'd say the August 12th update will be applied to disc to force users to update. That would probably be the Wave 4.
If that is put in the same place as the wave 3 update on the disks, there will be no need for a new iXtreme then.
LOL Called it. j/k speculations.
I just updated too geez. Thank god for jungleflasher.
