It just deactivates the stealth checks in iXtreme to allow you to boot games with no stealth. But if you burnt the game with stealth, you aren't going to have a problem.

If it does actually work on 1.51, will it work safely, or should you not even bother until a working agbx/firmware is released?

As long as you scan your ISOs with ABGX, you will be fine with IX 1.51 or One Shot Boot Mode in IX 1.6.

this isn't really that big a deal for people that have even a little knowledge about IX firmware, Activate.iso will work fine for now.
It's ganna be a bitch dealing with all the uninformed though :(

Folks,
Sorry, I am still a bit confused on this.
I have version 1.51 on my console so does this mean that I should now update this (and the other consoles to 1.6) to be able to safely play COD: MW2 on this?
I have seen the i.x 1.6 Activate.iso stuff when I flashed some other consoles but I wasnt aware what this was for..
If anyone can clarify the situation that would be great.
Cheers,
Squiby

@ Squiby
If you are running 1.51 does this mean you have a Hitachi drive?
I'm not sure if COD: MW2 will be wave 3 or 4 so cannot answer that but like the posts say above, you can play the wave 4 games as long as the back up has been previously stealth checked. If you have 1.51 it should boot ok and if you have 1.6 you will need to run activate.iso first to boot the game.
hope this helps a little

If we wait for a new version of ABGX, then iExtreme 1.61 users won't need to patch with "activate.iso" surely?.

Why is 1.51 better than 1.6 is it because abgx is still not up to date with 1.6. I flash my xbox with 1.6. Should i re-flash my xbox with 1.51 better

Thanks for the reply mate.
Basically, when I purchased my Elite, ix 1.51 was the latest available version for the BenQ drive, which is the drive I have.
My friends recently purchased their consoles and 1.6 was available then, so I flashed their consoles with 1.6.
I just want to be sure that I have the correct firmware to avoid any bans on COD: MW 2 and Wave 4 games.

Forza 3 prieview or early release is wave 3. What are the odds that they would have done the early copies in w3 and the retail versions in w4?
Just a Newb question?

People, PLEASE READ!! It doesn't matter if you have iXtreme 1.51 or iXtreme 1.6. Either firmware won't make a difference on keeping you safe. All the firmware does is to check the CRCs of the SS, DMI, PFI, etc. If 1 of the CRCs is bad, it won't boot a game.
So what I am getting at is as long as you check your ISOs with ABGX you will be fine with either iXtreme 1.51 or iXtreme 1.6.
After the ABGX360 update to recognize Wave 4:
People with iXtreme 1.51 will not have to do anything for Wave 4 games. Keep scanning your ISOs like you do with ABGX and continue playing.
People with iXtreme 1.6, keep scanning your ISOs as you have been doing. You can either revert back to iXtreme 1.51 firmware or run the activate disc to disable security checks. Again, when you run the activate ISO, all you are doing is disabling the CRC checks. If you have run your ISO through ABGX, you will be fine!

I think this guy makes alot of sense for a newbie, its a paranoid way of thinking, sure, but thats just the sort of thing MS would do! Of course, you could also say that this game is the only one with wave 4 and maybe wave 4 has been only been put on prerelease discs to try and catch the modded consoles?? So many conspiracy theories lol!
I get a funny feeling we'll see the next ixtreme firmware before december!

my question is, are you guys just going to flash with 1.51 now for less headaches for your customers? No one wants to use a activate disc.

I guess it is really going to depend of what type of games you play. Personally, the only upcoming game that I am going to play is CoD6. So I'm not really going to worry about reflashing back to IX 1.51 or using the activate ISO until then. I'll probably just wait til the firmware team releases the new firmware.
As for your customers, I'd give them that option. If they really want to play, they can burn an activate disc and do that in the mean time. Or if they are really lazy, they can pay you to reflash their console. :)

Original retail 360 games are not effected by old firmware.
