I think I'll buy a new 360 with HDMI in it.. So I'm getting a new firmware as well, and I might get one of those stealth ones.. I hear they only read games that are stealth patched though, so I was wondering how often the new games you "get" are already stealth patched? If not very often, how do you stealth patch? Is it complicated?

that's good news. So you would definitely recommend getting the stealth firmware then, right? I mean, there's no real down side to it, right?

I use now for like 2years? non stealthed games and still did not get banned.

There is some big myth about "stealth" mostly created by paranoid people from usa as usual.

I wouldn't bet on that TheGame, those bans have to come from somewhere after all

Maybe you were running only stealth patched games without knowing it? They can't just ban people hoping they don't catch someone who doesn't have modified firmware

Same here, but for stealth games to be effective you dont need Ixtreme.

^but if any new game is stealthed, isnt it all good then? Or are you just talking about old games you still like to pick up and play?

No, you don't. The only thing iXtreme really does is prevent you from using anything else BUT stealth games. You can play stealth games on most any firmware, and stealth games have been around awhile, thus why some people didn't get banned.

Aaah, that's some good info right there. Ima definitely just get some regular shit then, since most new games uses stealth anyway. So what would yall recommened: getting the newest firmware, or sticking with the one I've been using for the last year?

Are you suggesting the ixtreme firmwares do nothing more than the old fw's, except for stopping people play non-stealthed games?

I think you're wrong...

Playing a stealthed game on a NON-ixtreme fw will result in a potential ban, I believe.

I believe that's how it works. I'm sure it does some extra stuff too, mainly with the partitions and what not, but that just smoothes stealth reading out. I don't believe that playing stealthed games on a non-ixtreme fw will result in a ban. However, I'm not going to test this Smile I'm going to stick to using ixtreme firmware, just to be on the safe side.

I have read from several people on x-s though, that they still use old firmwares with stealthed games and they have not gotten banned. It's tough to say what microsoft detects, as no one except them really knows.

actually i take that back, people all over are telling me the ixtreme is just the same fw, which stops you playing unstealth.

apparently 5.2fw + stealthed disk = safe online.

rejoice!

damn it, theres too much still unknown. why cant microsoft just release 360s that already read backups? Smile would be so much easier.

anyway, whats the conclusion here? If I play stealthed games, it doesn't matter whether they are played on a non-stealthed firmware or a stealth firmware? cause if that's the case I might as well get the non-stealthed one, just in case I wanna pick something old up and play

I guess I was just one of the unlucky ones that had 5.2 FW, and only used Stealth patched games, and was still banned!! I test all my ISO's before I burn, so I know they are all stealth patched... All of them worked after switching boxes at gamestop, and using Ixtreme, now runing iXtremem 1.3!! All is working great!! Hopefully no bans will be handed down after the December 4th Dashboard update!!
