All consoles are flashable except for the new slim version...which is being worked on.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

OK old timer.
The first 3 drives (Hitachi Samsung & BenQ) didn't necessarily need other hardware (as long as your PC could detect them). The 4 newer drives (all Lite-Ons: versions 74850, 83850, 83850v2 & 93450) require a "probe" to dump the key. The probe is used in conjunction with a connectivity kit.

The connectivity kit/probe combo that I recommend is the Xecuter CK3 & Probe II.
Alternatively some of the other "big boys" here use the Maximus Xtractor & Vampire.
They both do the same job.

Thanks a ton, I'll look into a fresh arcade & a connectivity kit/probe.
