Info on Xtreme Firmware 2.0 for TS-H943 by Commodore4eva |
Ó
When Patto, in his letter, mentioned that we "haven't kept up-to-date with the Xtreme firmware 2.0 for TS-H943" I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement. The Toshiba-Samsung drive for the XBox also deserve some spotlight.The latest one to release a firmware for the TS drive goes way back 6 July 2006 by Lupin, dubbed the Legal Toshiba-Samsung firmware patch for Commodore4eva's Xtreme Firmware. And as far as I remember, Commodore4eva dabbled in the Toshiba-Samsung drive back in the day before he concentrated his efforts on the LG-Hitachi drive.
Thank goodness, Commodore4eva hasn't forgotten this other XBox 360 drive. He confirmed this by releasing Xtreme firmware 2.0 for TS-H943 Xbox 360, is the pioneer in the One Firmware Only XBox 360 backup and extraction firmware modification genre. Using his creation there is no more need to switch from firmware to firmware to reflash your drive. A monogamous firmware? Just a thought.
He has included all you need to know about this release like how to flash your drive, extract security sectors, create a game backup and turning off the 0800 mode of firmware.
Features

Extraction part of firmware enabled with Enable0800 DVD. ISO included.
In Enable0800 mode, allows drive to function natively under Windows without any hardware conversion/adaptors

Firmware now also checks for Enable0800 security sector @ PSN 04FB1F and if found, enables 0800 mode of firmware.
ISO image Enable0800.iso included. Just burn and insert into drive when you wish to extract security sectors or dump games.
0800 mode of firmware deactivated by inserting game backup (Xbox 360 or Xbox 1) or DVD movie or turning off console.

- Either insert game backup (Xbox 360 or Xbox 1) or DVD movie. This de-activates 0800 part of firmware or turn off console.
- I will not be doing any more work on the Hitachi as I will leave that to the excellent work of Garyopa,Spectrumforever,Birdie and others.
- Still working on Media Stealth firmware and will release when there has been a reaction from Microsoft as until then it is not required!

... submitting news if it isnt going to be credited? i sent this in AT LEAST 12 hours before it was posted here...and i am sure others did too. Why have a place to put your name for credit if it doesnt get used???
Boohoo. Stop it.
have a windows update that disabled the ablility of the dvd drive to hook up to a pc?
why didnt i get credit what a loser,***** flashing a new firmware just download the games instead of trying to copy them,and no m$ wont do a update they cant stop the xtreme f/w so i dont think they can stop the drive being linked to the pc your a loser for asking
cause i am. super *****got from the planet *****dom.
Anyways the topic is about a wonderful and ground breaking release by Commodore4eva who dedicated to his Dad.
Has any tried this and got everything working?
You fill out a letter, putt your ****ing name in it then and obviously it isn't my real name. Do you know why they have a contact email for letters. So people can help them keep up to date with the news for those who don't want to surf the internet constantly just to find out the lastest in hacks and exploits. To hummus19; 12 hours before it was posted here well i posted it the night before they put it on here and I got the Xtreme Firmware off IRC before this was posted on Nforce.
So would people stop flaming each other, and for christ sake act your age.... well wouldn't suprise me if some of you guys were twelve.
