Updates from C4E on New Dash: Update Process Seems Safe, AP2.5 Titles Not, LT+ WIP

what are you using to check to see wave 7?

 

OK so if I don't update to the new dashboard I should be able to play future games like fable 3 without any problems? I'm not an xbox live user but if dashboard stops me from playing newer games or the old dashboard is incompatible with newer games I would like to know.

 

new games will force you to update, they will need to be "down waved"

 

Any know if the sims 3 is safe on the new dash? Ive read somewhere it wasnt but some say it is.

 

Quoted from the scene:

"Currently this would work fine (but you will only have problems if ur on kinect dash anyway) In the future when m$ force upd ala new wave(X) Then it probably wont as the checks are being done by the executable and the game will most likely won't boot from dash earlier than kinect (as they have done in the past - makes u think they've been doing it silently for a while.. )"

 

you think kinect will work on my flashed console if i don't update? or when i plug in kinect it'll update it right there.

 

Thanks for the replies guys...

 

Weird, I have 2 xbox 360 1 has the benq drive. won't play fable III with the new dash. But... My old 2006 xbox 360 with the samsung plays just fine with the new dash. Any ideas? Note that my benq has the LT 1.2 and the samsung has LT 1.0

 

According to C4Eva, Samsungs and some Hitachis do not have the AP2.5 disc check but all other drives do or so it maybe seems, I guess further testing is needed but whatever.

Well after some testing with uncorrupting profiles, I found out that when you play Fable 3 with the new dashboard, it auto corrupts that profile but if you uncorrupt it and swap HDDs around, its like it was never corrupted. (swapped back and forth between a flagged and unflagged Xbox)

Since I was already flagged for playing Fable 3 and failing AP2.5 check, I figured go out with a bang and play some Black Ops online, meh. (No online multiplayer servers to mess around in but campaign mode is really good)

 

FYI, if you use the same hard drive for a legit Live machine and a modded offline machine. If you do the update on the legit and then put the hard drive on the modded, it will NOT ask you to update.

However, it will disable the avatar so you can not see it or access the feature at all.

 

[+c4eva] just a word of warning on the sed "disc swap" [note x-s: see our x360SED v1.0 news], although this passes the timing check, ap25 also returns data from its check which will be wrong with the wrong disk and will get you banned!

[+c4eva] the trigger for ap25 is still being investigated, but assume a list of titles of some sort or some check, not the xex!
[+c4eva] no ap25 traffic was ever logged with fifa 09

[**] c4eva, it is known yet whether AP2.5 can flag you in an offline state?
[+c4eva] **:yes it can
[+c4eva] console flag

[***] SSv3 just for ap2.5 games or all others?
[+c4eva] ssv3 will be required for any game that activates ap25

[****] c4eva: does that mean old games that dont have ap25, that we burned, as ssv2 are safe?
[+c4eva] ****:yes

[*****] c4eva do you think it is possible that they activate ap25 with a title update on old games?
[+c4eva] possible

[*****] c4eva is it a bad idea playing a retail ap25 game on current fw too ?
[*****] well obv. for new dash
[+c4eva] *****:should be fine

 

fantastic update jpizzle. Not surprising coming from you

 

OK, i updated to the new dash yesterday and now on backups all i get is open tray. Originals boot fine... Not one of my backups seems to work. Does this mean i have the open tray error or has Microsoft buggered up my console for now.... Is there a fix for this?

 

looks like the 1st kinect game leaked,wonder what will happened 2nite on the release of kinect,

 

Can anyone answer my friggin nooby questions? but some question were ask from my lil bro... here's the link.

Sorry if this a "pain of the neck", but Somehow I may be running out of time...

 

Any 1?

 

got 1 already. His intel is friggin' diamond solid.

 

G12: Don't take over the forum topic. Your question has nothing to do with this topic. If someone hasn't answered your question it is most likely you are asking questions that no one knows or the answer is everywhere. One thing you need to know about the scene is the fact that no one will spoon feed you. Most people here researched for hours to get the info they know.

FYI: I am being nice about it, some people wouldn't say this as nice...

 

he's right
