    When I patch does it affect the original iso? Or does it make another copy of the iso which it adds the patch to?

    It patches the original iso, just copy and paste the iso to another location on your pc if you want an untouched iso ;)

    hi there,
    i'm new to these this site and quite new to modded xbox360's..
    i was getting along fine but noticed that i couldnt play newest games then stumbled across this site.. i've done all the steps but for some reason it still says its a dvd when in my xbox and says cant play the media!

    i've updated the firmware by flash drive.
    i converted to wav3 as i have burned and played other wav3 games before.

    i use img burn, when i use it i always remove the original .dvd file and make a .mds file (i made the .mds file after it was patched)

    anyone know what i can be doing wrong?

    hope you can help! as i want cod mw2:)

    did you run the iso through abgx after you patched it.
    also no need to delete the .dvd file, they work with imgburn.

    Make sure you arent running the patched iso through ABGX after it has been patched.

    If waveconverter never works for you there is apparently another way to patch via ABGX. There is a tutorial on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDTd5I4KAQ
    I havent tried it yet as I havent got a wave 4 yet.

    Yes I made a copy just in case. Do I burn as normal? E.d drag .dvd file into imgburn with layerbreak set? Or do i drag in the iso?

    yeah just make sure the .dvd file is in the same folder as the patched iso.

    Hi, just bought a new 360 with iXtreme 1.6, not banned. So, I really want to play the new wave 4/5 games, and I'm too lazy to use the activate.iso every time, and I dont want to wait for new FW.

    So, Im going to patch some games now to wave 3. But I wonder..

    Will I be able to install the patched games to my harddrive as usual?

    Because the n1 reason I bought a new 360 is that i just cant stand playing the games from the disc, i need to install them.

    And can someone confirm this works with 1.6? Some say it does, some say it doesnt.

    Thanks!

    Hey sicdude can you advice? My dashboard version is 2.0.8507.0. I manually downloaded the latest version, 2.0.8955.0. I formatted my USB pen drive to FAT-32, I placed the $SystemUpdate folder in the root of the USB pen drive. I then plug in one of my 360 elite's 3 ports. When I reboot the console, it doesn's update. What's going on?

    I updated my dashboard with a USB pen drive just a couple of hours ago, worked for me.. But my 360 was turned off when i inserted it in one of the USB ports, then i started the 360 and it asked me to update right away.. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but.. I dunno, try.

    Anyway, I'm having some trouble. I patched GTA Episodes from Liberty City from wave 4 to wave 3, with that french program, latest version. So far so good.

    But when I run it through abgx360 1.0.2 after that I get some red text and stuff. And I'm not good at this at all so I wonder what is wrong?

    It looks like this:

    Checking PFI
    PFI CRC = 2A4CCBD3
    PFI is incorrect based on the date this game was authored (should have matched
    at least 4th wave)

    Video partition found
    Video CRC = 0E58FB9D (V0 = CF942E7B, V1 = 4809B37A)
    Video partition is incorrect based on the date this game was authored (should
    have matched at least 4th wave)

    Stealth check failed!

    Starting AutoFix
    Looking for C2087AFC49C39073.ini in the online verified database
    Server file C2087AFC49C39073.ini no newer than local file - not retrieving

    Checking PFI

    PFI matches known data (4th wave - requires iXtreme v1.51 [Hitachi only],
    v1.6 [using activation disc], v1.61 or later)

    Failed to find or open 'Video_1914211B.iso' (No such file or directory)
    This is a very large video partition that isn't hosted on the database...
    You will have to find it elsewhere and put it in your StealthFiles folder
    AutoFix Failed!


    Can someone please help me?

    Hey dude thanks for replying. I always switch off my 360 before I insert the USB pen drive. No update happens. Very weird. Anyway concerning your problem. After you patch the game from Wave 4 to Wave 3, run abgx, but choose level 0(no fix). You will get errors for PFI and Video partition, but that's normal since you downgraded the game from Wave 4 to Wave 3. abgx works by cross-checking the game's timestamp with it's PFI and Video partition database. Hence based on the timestamp,it sees that the Episodes from Liberty City is meant to be a Wave 4 game, but because of the downgrade patch by the french program, it sees differently, hence it reads as an error. All you need to do again is use the french program and then burn the patched iso at 2.4x with imgburn. Use the .dvd file to burn

    I'm having some trouble in gettimg the Patched Wave 4 to Wave 3 games to work. My Firmware is 1.6, i used this program to Patch Dragon Age to Wave 3, burned it with ImgBurn and when i put the disc on the Xbox, the game looks like it's loading, but only a Black Screen appears.
    When I turn the Xbox off and turn it on again, i see that it recognized the game (the last game played appears to be Dragon Age).
    So i really don't know what happened in there =/

    Did i patch it wrong?

    Other thing, i don't have the last Dashboard update, i'm banned from Live and the cd/dvd thing didn't work, the same with the USB ... i'm still trying, but nothing happens.
    Could it be that the game didn't load properly 'cause i didn't have the last Dash Update?
    Do i really need it to play the last games??

    Stealth check failed means that if you use it on Xbox Live, you will be immediately detected as using a backup and banned. So no Xbox Live.

    Okay, thanks. I will never plug an ethernetcable into my 360 so no worries. The game will work just fine to play though right?

    I remember reading somewhere that the games need to have stealth or the game will not boot on iXtreme. But maybe I'm mixing things up here? I'm a total noob :p
