Post by yousif666 »

Hi

is there any important changes ??

and i want to ask about live

if you get online with 1.59 firmware i get banned from m$cro$oft ?

i know that if my drive is modifined i will get banned but does the firmware make the risck less ??

Im still using 1.51 as i have i have another drive to dump games off

1.6 allows you 2 dump games onto your pc and it has updates security, there is always a chance that you can get banned from live. Its just a risk you take playin your backups

1.51 will play wave3 games, any thing lower than that and the game will just hold at the green logo screen.

the activate iso.


you burn it to a d/l disc. if you have a game thats non stealth or wave x you put the activate iso disc in and then the next disc you put in will boot.
