A few days ago Arakon leaked a very special version of the i-xtreme firmwares for the Xbox360.
We can confirm that although the firmwares were made by an anonymous? person the firmwares are indeed legit and work fantastic!
Initial testing (on the lite-on version at least) show the firmwares quite happily blindly load whatever backup disc you put in without the requirement of “stealth” patching or an “activate.iso” boot disc. Given that stealth patching is a load of rubbish this is a very good thing and about time.
We tested one on a 7x series lite-on drive and another on a 9x lite-on drive. The two lite-on drives with the 'non-stealth' hacked firmware ran smooth with no noticeable issues. The only downside is that the firmware headers are still all wrong (not that thats hard to fix)..... but what the hell, is boots all the backups with out any issues.
It is highly recommended that every one with the “stealth” firmwares get upgraded to the new non-stealth variety to avoid issues games not working properly due to unnecessary build restrictions and disc checking.
….......an remember what we have always said: “There is no such thing as 100% undetectable firmware. If you really want to use Xbox Live with zero ban risk.... don't get your console modded”.
