I spoke with Commodore4Eva who is coding the updates for the Xtreme firmwares and he did a quick Q&A with me

* Gameswank: With a current working firmware, why is there a need for a new version of the Xtreme Fw?
* Commodore4Eva: It was let known to me that MS received a report on how to detect backup games sometime ago and were working on it for the dash update, so I thought it timely to release this firmware this weekend

* Gameswank: You say that you had some inside info that the spring update would have the ability to detect and possibly ban 360 modded users from their console and or XBOX Live?
* Commodore4Eva: The method won't detect modded drives but can detect a backup disk and make it not boot, banning someone for a copied disk would be harsh and damaging to MS themselves both in revenue and popularity

* Gameswank: Thanks for your time; I better let you go so you can make some gamers happy! Oh by the way when can expect the new Xtreme V5.3 Patch to be released?
* Commodore4Eva: Saturday night at midnight before Microsoft gets a chance to release theirs

Currently Version 5.3 of the Xtreme Firmware will only support the Samsung series of Xbox360 DVD drives. Though I am told other versions are currently underway, also beta testers have been testing this new version for a week now, and Im told they have a system where they test it and report any bugs before general distribution. So come release everything should be fine.

We also managed to get a little info on a few of the new features of the Xtreme firmware V5.3:
* Support added for DVD drive to Report as Hitachi 79
* Disc-Jitter added for Challenge Types 5/7 to avoid possible replay detection.

I went ahead and reflashed my Samsung to 5.3C just in case. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when the dashboard update is released.

Yeah, I dunno, still skeptical if it'll make any difference. If after the spring update backups don't boot, then I guess it's time to flash. My money is it won't make any difference on modded Samsung drives, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Here's the official Spring Update thread on xbox-scene: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=601531

Keep an eye on that one firmware modders, that will be the best initial measuring stick.

Here's more in-depth technical info on the new firmware changes:

My money is with C4E. If he says that this info came from someone on the inside, then I believe him. I have no reason to doubt what he is saying. So I would say to those that have a samsung drive thats modded, it's time to update before installing the spring update. I've already updated, but like many others, am awaiting the spring update to see what happens.

Lord Sesshomaru · 05-07-2007, 11:08 AM

I don't doubt him, I just wonder if MS can not half-*** the update enough to actually cut off some of the hacks. That said, I am checking the spring update thread frequently today.

Sadalius · 05-07-2007, 02:02 PM

LOL, a thought that crossed my mind is intintial insider mis-information. What if MS is saying they are implementing this "fix" by doing "this" and they actually do something different and because of the "fix" that the new firmware brings, gets the backups cutoff. Thats where my thoughts are at.
