Some Questions on the flashed drive

[MicroMina]

hello all, wanted to ask some questions so I dont regret it later

* Does xbox live silver membership allows me to play games online and download demos and content?
* If I flash my drive, will I be able to play online and download content?
* What are stealth releases?
* Can I manually "stealth" an ISO? If yes, what software do I use, and where should I get the files that makes my release stealthy?
* Do stealthy releases prevent me from being banned?
* Is there some sort of stealth checker to check that an ISO is stealthy?


Thanks a lot, sorry for many questions

Hi you can definitely download demos but not sure about if you can play online guys here will shed some light on it,
after flashing the drive you can play online and can download content. but there is no telling if you get banned or not. make sure you backup your own originals and not play downloaded games from online they are the ones which actually get you banned so make a backup of your own original.
"What are stealth releases?" if you mean from online then dont as they are the number one cause of getting banned.
best way to backup you xbox 360 games is using kreon drive and xbc, for more info read from 360 tutorial section.

"Do stealthy releases prevent me from being banned?" after stealth patching a backup its really as safe as it can be but again no telling if you get banned or not.

here is the link to stealth checker

There's always a risk you will be banned when playing on Xbox Live with backups (burned games). You can minimize the risk by flashing your DVD-ROM drive with the latest version of the iXtreme Firmware. The iXtreme Firmware is designed to cover any possible signs the user is playing backups on Live.

Stealth means that for all intents and purposes, the data on a backup disc appears to be identical to the original. If the game is "stealth" any flags that will identify it as such will not be picked up by Microsoft and it will appear to be an original game to the console and anyone watching on Live.

The way to create manually create a stealth backup is to use a DVD-ROM capable of reading Xbox 360 games like the Samsung SH-D162C or SH-D163B. When these DVD-ROM drives are flashed with Kreon's Firmware, they are capable of creating iso images of original Xbox 360 games that will automatically include all the necessary information to make the game stealth and 100% iXtreme Compatible. Those two drives are pretty rare in the US, eBay is the best place to find one. You read the disc to your PC Hard Drive with Xbox Backup Creator or Schtrom's Extract 360, then burn it to Dual Layer DVD+R media with a Dual Layer burner. Verbatim DVD+R DL media is far and away the best quality dual layer dvd media. Burn at 2x or 4x for best results.

Yes there is a way to check an iso's stealth status. You can check the stealth status of an iso with programs like XDVDMulleter, Xbox Backup Creator, or Schtrom's Xtract 360.

All the necessary programs and firmware for flashing the 360 can be found on xbins.

Thanks a lot for everyone

I am actually planning on "getting" all games without buying any

So, I can download demos and content from xbox live, with the hacked firmware (but it is not desirable to play online) right?

But, all game suppliers (not retail stores) says their game is stealthy, so I guess that way they tested it on Live?

I would not announce that you are going to steal games on this website. We are not your babysitter, but piracy is illegal and you never know who is reading this forum. You have been warned, so no more blatant piracy, OK? That being said we will help in any way we can to get you set up to play stealth patched backups of your originals!

Content downloaded from Live is not going to give you any trouble as far as getting banned. It's third party downloads that will get you.

[MicroMina]

well, OK no piracy anymore, I'll just play stealth games of my backups
Thanks for everyone's help
