    So, I did the patching for Assassin's Creed II about 4 times by now, all I've been trying to do is check the ISO without patching it now, so I was wondering, what exactly are the steps to do this for? I have not selected anything else after closing and reopening it, but it still patches it again everytime. Thanks for the help.

    So if anybody's stuck with the CLI here are the commands to do the exact same thing. Tested and works fine. They're in a linux bash script now, but the command itself should be pretty obvious:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    ## Settings ##
    
    ## Change these to match the location of your patch files
    
    video=~/downloads/w4tw3/video.iso
    pfi=~/downloads/w4tw3/pfi.bin
    
    ## Check for each .iso in current folder
    
    for game in *.iso ; do
    
    ##                  ##
    ##    Menu system   ## 
    ##                  ##
    
    figlet Wave Patcher
    echo
    echo -------------
    echo
    echo Do you want to patch $game?
    echo
    echo Press any key to continue or
    echo Press q to quit.
    read choice
    
    ##                              ##
    ## Check choice and run program ##
    ##                              ##
    
    case $choice in
        q)
        echo
        echo Exiting.
        break
        echo
        ;;
        *)
        echo
        abgx360 --af3 --patchitanyway --patchgarbage --p-video $video --p-pfi $pfi --fixangle359 --rgn 00FE0000 --splitvid $game
        ;;
    esac
    
    Region should be changed if not in Europe.

    I cant see how you would get banned for playing a patched game offline (disconnected, unpluged) and then you sign in with a genuine game and get banned. Please respond with a answer i really wanna play assassins creed 2

    is this method supposed to make it so you don't need an activate disk?

    because i tried it with tekken 6 and in the end i still had to use an activate disk.

    lite-on 1.61

    1.61 reads all waves to date so you shouldn't need activate.iso, and yes when you patch a game to a lower wave it removes the need for activate.iso

    hmmm i must have had 1.60 then because i needed an activate disk.

    but no more annoyances, the new ixtreme 1.7 owns. works with everything i've tried so far without an activate disk.

    I have a question sickdude. I followed all the steps you gave with the pack regarding the settings changing in abgx and what not. Now, my question is, I have firmware 1.5 and i need to change Bioshock 2 which is wave 4 to Wave 2. Do i need to take additional steps to your tutorial to convert it to wave 2? Because as you know, wave 3 is not playable on 1.5. This is why i ask. I tried converting Dantes Inferno to wave 2 with 360 game patcher with no success, just in case you want to refer me to that program, im not interested in it since it did not work for me.

    Please let me know what steps i need to take to make this wave 2 using abgx.

    Hey guys,

    I also have the issue of applying the latest system update to my xbox 360. I got banned back on halloween of 2009, and when doing some research on updating without Xbox live, a lot of sites say I need a " 'default.xex'"file. However, the update form the official xbox site doesn't give you any .xex file after unzipping.

    I tried burning the contents of the system update folder to disc and get a "mixed media disc" message. I am trying to play bioshock 2, and while all my older burned games work (last one was Fifa 10) I'm having problems with Bioshock 2, which just gives me the xbox 360 logo and shows up as a DVD.

    I use vebatim disks, but I'm just trying to figure out if the issue has to do with the game itself, or if because my 360 probably didn't get the latest update. How can I check if my 360 has the latest official firmware?

    Any help would be appreciated!
