Patching games with abgx360 1.0.1 (03-23-09)
Screenshots and original tutorial borrowed from TheGRiM (TL) - thanks!

Edit your settings to match these, Some will already be set as default on your initial install and some wont. Remember to click File>Save Settings then choose "Default" to make these your default settings or save as a new setting if you wish to.

RED = Required
BLUE = Optional / Dependant on Firmware version.



Autofix Threshold:
Level 2 = Only use this level if you do your own game rips.
Level 3 = Use this option if you have downloaded your game.

Adjust Angle 359 (BAD KREON):
This is not required if you have ixtreme v1.4 or above as its already incorporated into the firmware. But if you also prefer to fix problems at disc level or if you do copies for other people and are not sure what firmware they have then enabling it is also fine.



Region Code:
This optional setting is for you to set the regions that your console(s) will play, For example if you are a UK user you would select both Europe and AUS/NZ.

SplitVid:
This settings is required for people who dont have iXtreme firmware but is also optional for people that do have iXtreme.



using with image files (.iso, .000)

Select the .ISO/.000 file:



Hit launch.

If you wish to check already burned DVD's, simply change the dropdown from "Files" to "Burned DVD".



then of course, hit launch.

Will I need a new firmware to play Wave 4 games?
================

IF you are on iXtreme 1.5 or below, Wave3 games will not boot for you and thus Wave4 games will not either. In this case, YES you need to update your firmware!

IF you are on iXtreme 1.51, then ANY wave will boot fine, including Wave4 however you must be EXTRA careful as you are not protected against corrupt or incorrect video partitions. This is one of the many reasons to always use abgx360. If a game is fully verified, playing it on iXtreme 1.51 is just as safe as playing it on iXtreme 1.6 - this includes Wave4 games.

IF you are on iXtreme 1.6, you can ALSO play Wave 4 and above games, however you need to use a special activation disk to do so. This was added to the firmware specifically for this eventuality - the disk activates "one-shot-boot" mode, essentially it allows iX1.6 to boot any game you insert into the drive, even if its not properly stealthed. You simply insert the disk into the drive, let it spin up (it will say "play DVD"), then swap in your Wave4 game. You will need to do this each time you want to play a Wave 4 (or above) game. Don't worry, if the game has all the necessary stealth data, then iX1.6 will still use it, so if you boot a VERIFIED Wave4 game using this method, you should be just as safe as you were booting a verified wave 3 game.

The disk is available here: hxxp://www.sendspace.com/file/5ed5xr and needs to be burned to a DUAL LAYER disk, but entirely on the first layer (do not set a layerbreak and when imgburn prompts, tell it to burn to the first layer only).

A new iXtreme firmware will eventually be released with strict wave4 support (no activation disk needed), however some time needs to pass before this happens. Although Cars: Race-o-Rama was the first game to appear in the wild with Wave 4 video, it was not necessarily the first game to be pressed with it. Also, during a wave transition there are often a few exceptions to the process which also need to be known about. There will be no timeframe for this, so do not ask.
