1. New games are coming with a 3rd wave video partition and iXtreme 1.5 and below WILL NOT BOOT these games with a 3rd wave video partition.
2. Currently, the only way to BOOT these games with the 3rd wave video partition, is to flash your drive with a NON-STEALH FIRMWARE. EXAMPLE = iXtreme 1.41 NON-STEALTH for the BenQ drive. The NON-STEALTH firmware will not do the certain security checks that iXtreme Stealth firmware does. DO NOT GO ON LIVE WITH NON-STEALTH FIRMWARE
3. Question- Will I need this iXtreme 1.6 update? Answer= Yes and No. Current STEALTH firmwares (1.4 and 1.5) are being used on live and haven't seen any problems for awhile. There are a lot of factors that go into how you get banned so I won't go into detail. BUT.. to ensure that you will have the highest protection against banning, it is always smart to go with the MOST CURRENT firmware... which will be iXtreme 1.6. BUT.. There is no guarantee that you won't get banned, having the most current firmware is just a smart idea. Looks like for security features, 1.51 and 1.6 will be the same.
PEOPLE, PLEASE READ THE LOGS.. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS.

A log for ix1.6 will be created soon.
Quote:cliff notes: new games have updates (mlb2k9, hawx, etc), ix1.5 and before wont play them, we need a new ix. 1.6 is coming soon.
[17:48:28] <+c4eva> new video partition support in ix1.6 , coming soon!
[01:32:30] <+c4eva> topo:i did :)
[01:33:11] <+c4eva> hello
[01:36:29] <+c4eva> finishing hitachi 1.5 this week, then 1.6 for all drives!
[01:37:52] <+c4eva> 1.6 will have 0800 dumping for all drives including hitachi along with new video partition support!
[01:38:35] <+c4eva> 0800 is in windows mode only
[05:17:14] <+c4eva> originals should be unaffected by the new video wave 3 on ixtreme fw
[05:18:30] <onge> c4eva: is it hard to fix this problem?
[05:18:40] <+c4eva> no
<@KarateBob> new games are coming out with the nxe update on the disc
<@KarateBob> and the only place microsoft could put it was in the video partition
<@KarateBob> now, old firmwares and games didnt always have a video partition, so when ixtreme was made, they got it to check the video partition
<@KarateBob> and if its crc didnt match wave 1 or wave 2, then the game wouldnt boot
<@KarateBob> now, this is wave 3, so ixtreme wont boot new games
<@KarateBob> if you need to boot the game, then wait for 1.6, or use a non-stealth firmware.
<@KarateBob> such as Benq_iXtreme_1.41_Rev_2_Non-Stealth_Multispeed.rar, C4EVA_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_4_Stealth.rar (im not sure if that works on 78/79) or xtreme53.rar in the xbins directory: /XBOX 360/firmware/hacked firmware/Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943/_old/
<@KarateBob> Sorry, there is no non-stealth firmware for Lite-On
March 3rd

[02:10:06] <+c4eva> ix1.51 for sammy,benq,liteon under going initial testing, full wave 3 support!
[02:13:53] <+c4eva> was quicker to do 1.51 now, then a 1.6 after this, to get the games booting again on ix!
[02:16:23] <+c4eva> working on hitachi ix1.51 now, end of week hopefully!
March 4th-- This is going to be a nice feature!
Quote:<+c4eva> new jf will get key etc from a flashed ix liteon via sata
March 6th-- This is what I copied from the Jungleflasher channel
Quote:<v104hx> caster420 any news on new j/f?
<@caster420> will come with new fw
<United09> i thought samsung drives could already rip games anyway ?
<@caster420> they can, just not built into iXtreme
<Rinoa> so the 1.6 firmware will have something else added over 1.51 other than 0800?
<@caster420> no, not that i know of Rinoa
<L3p> catter420 : if one doesnt require the 0800 feature for ripping, is ix1.51 just as good as ix1.6, for security purposes, minus the ripping feature?
<@caster420> thats correct L3p
<@caster420> v1.6 will not have security updates... if you dont need ripping, v1.6 wont be required
<the|Gamer> @caster is there a HIGHER change to get banned with 0800 fw?
<@caster420> no

So you will only need 1.6 if you rip games? But if you have 1.51 and DON"T rip games you're ok? _________________________________________________________

I have read that you can boot original disks of Hawx and other games that have 3 partitions, it will just be copies of these games that will not boot.
Also on the chat with c4eva that x_splinter posted it says

You need 1.6 otherwise the game will not boot. Its like trying to play a non SS game.

I'm pretty sure 1.51 boots wave 3 games. In fact I'm positive. I think 1.6 is just gonna be a little something extra. You will be able to rip games without a Kreon drive by using your 360 drive. Thats basically it. _________________________________________________________

So see it as a reminder and not as news.
