a friend of mine knows someone who can flash 360 consoles and he is going to do mine for nothing as my current firmware wont play wave 4 without a activation dvd
i have a question tho, as i never plan to connect this 360 to the internet again would it be better if i get it flashed with the old firmware that plays anything? anyone know of any downsides to doing this?
i have no idea what revision it would be so could someone tell me the name of it so i know what to ask for
nope, there aren't any downsides in your case. and if MS releases something that would make games unplayable on the old xtreme fw, you could bet your ass it won't play on the newest ixtreme either
the latest version is 5.3 (someone please correct me if i'm wrong) - but there are 4 different ones that differ in reading speed
Quote:
FOr Xtreme 5.3A backup Read Speed is always same as original game disks 12x. Original discs unaffected
FOr Xtreme 5.3B backup Read Speed is always quiet/slow. Original discs unaffected.
FOr Xtreme 5.3C default backup Read Speed is same as original game disks 12x. When Original Game disk is booted, all subsequent backup loading will be at Quiet/Slow Read mode, Original Game disks are unaffected. Turn console off/on to reset back to Default backup read speed (12x). Quiet/Slow Read Speed is for quiet operation and/or cheap DVD+R DL media.
FOr Xtreme 5.3D default backup Read Speed is Quiet/Slow 2-4x. When Original Game disk is booted, all subsequent backup loading will be at Fast Read mode 12x, Original Game disks are unaffected. Turn console off/on to reset back to Default backup read speed for backups (2-4x).
oh and another thing: you can't flash newer drives with the old xtreme fw, make sure yours is compatible

just saw the last part thanks ill keep that in mind, apparently the guy knows his stuff so if he tells me he cant ill just get the latest one put on
