I just updated to Lt 2.0 and I still cant play XGD3 games. I have burnt older games and they work fine, Im using Verbs btw, but its newer games that keep giving me disc unreadable errors. I am not using IMAX yet, Im doing the first method that was posted and up till now I havent had any issues since I use the same method for my other system. My dash is 2.0.13599 and this system has been banned since MW2. Any help would be appreciated since its driving me nuts. Thanks

yeah from what i read you have to burn with the max burners.any game that receives any error will not work.also the lt 2.0 has flaws with it and c4eva is releasing 2.01 for the fix

Yes, it seems as if though certain Hitachi Versions (59/79, that I know of) were released with bugs that are being worked out. My 47 is running great. New fix will be more than likely out by this weekend unless more bugs are found.
"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."

Yeah my 59 is about to join yours in the river. I heard that in order for the games to work on the Hitachis they have to be burned using a liteon, if not then we run into issues.
