If it plays originals and backups as it is, then its fine. You can dump the FW from it, and get the key and ofw. Once you have the key and OFW, your golden.

By patch, I think you mean the dashboard update? We know what its for, its to add the new features, and to patch homebrew.

Here is a link to a topic with the new features: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7126&p=40725" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think thats a repost of the original thread, just use the search engine, and search "August 11" and you should find more info.

by patch i mean the hack firmware...1.5...1.6?...is there any way of telling what hack firmware it may have without opening it?

Well, there is no 1.6 for hitachi yet... If you put in a brand new game (3rd wave) and try to play it (original or backup) and it does not play, then there is 1.5 or 1.4 on the drive

Just see if he can remember when he had it flashed?
