Just got off the horn with Joe. He has the new firmware and he said it is 30,000. Thank xpat for the info.

Youngsan game arcade. As a matter of fact, I was there yesterday to buy the wireless headset from a guy I've going to for years because he is fair, honest, and speaks English fluently. The shop is called ING. and it's the second stall on the left when you walk in from entrance opposite ET Land.
His name is Joe and you can call him at 02 712 3120.

Hey ShaneO. Im not real up to speed on this subject. Is it worth waiting until the end of the month for 1.52. 1.51 can play the new wave 3. What more would 1.52 be able to do? Thanks.

yes...my mistake. The next will be 1.6http://www.360-hq.com/postt4242.html

to ensure that you will have the highest protection against banning, it is always smart to go with the MOST CURRENT firmware... which will be iXtreme 1.6. BUT.. There is no guarantee that you won't get banned, having the most current firmware is just a smart idea.

Looks like for security features, 1.51 and 1.6 will be the same.

I will wait to see a 1.6 changelog first.

theres one thing I wonder about the ixtreme 1.51

I read that it wont boot non stealth games, or games that are not crc passed perfectly.

Is this true?

Like I have a game that I downloaded and burned and then i checked it and it didnt pass , but it played anyway(offline)

Whats that mean? Like if they play...are they safe(ish) enough for online (with ixtreme1.5)?

Out Now 1.6

IXtreme fw for Benq, Samsung and Liteon drives!

Features
--------
-Strict Wave 3 compliance! hybrid (modified disks) will not boot!
-Strict drive speed compliance - 12x only for game discs!
-Support for SS V2!
-Integrated 0800 for game dumping including SS v2!
-Full support for all known game exceptions! eg ddr etc!
-One shot boot mode! - allows a one off boot of gamedisc without -stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time!
-Support for easy drive key/version info cmd, same as liteon!
-Strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)!

More Info
---------

Strict Wave 3 compliance means wave 3 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 3
Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot
SS v2 suports multiple timing samples for challenges type 5 and 7 , stroing them in the SS. This is a pre-requiste for SS v3 which has support for the so called AP2.5 check. Since this has never been used or may never be used by MS we will adopt a wait and see approach and continue to monitor for its usage.
With drive in Windows mode (Tray half open on powerup) 0800 mode is activated allowing easy dumping of game disc including SS v2. In this mode the drive is also able to output drive key, fw version and drive type by using a simple custom inquiry command.
Game exceptions are integrated in the fw for games that do not comply with the strict wave checks but are legitimate. These are Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Stoked, Ping 17 disk, afro samurai
One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution.

He can do an American box right? I'm sure he has a transformer, but I figure it's better to know for sure beforehand.

Just went to Joe on Saturday. He charged me 20,000. It took a bit under an hour. There's plenty to look at in the area, so the wait is no problem. You only have to bring the box regardless of whether it's American or Korean. No hard drive or cords needed. He was very friendly and spoke great English. He comes highly recommended.

did he do 1.6 firmware for you? I think I'll go on Sunday. I can't see a new firmware comming for a while.

I don't know if he did 1.51 or 1.6, but the difference is minimal from a layman's perspective. If you're just looking to play wave 3 games, I understand there is no differnece between the two.
