Truncated burns are supported on all above drives, but not recommended. Disc unrecognized or black screen errors mean the disc security/topology data is not valid. LT 3.0 officially supports Verbatim DVD+R DL discs only.

Turn-around time for regular FAT consoles is 1 hour, Slims have 2 hour turn-around time. Slim units manufactured in or after August 2011 cannot be reset glitched at the moment.

Silent security update on XBOX 360:

Dae.bin (file used to perform checks on disc media) has been changed. This means new AP2.5 security checks are introduced. All XGD3/AP25 games will fail the check.

It is strongly advised to use only originals on XBOX Live and avoid XGD3 or AP2.5 backups for now. This could potentially ban your console on XBOX Live.

This update is silently being applied in the background while console is on XBOX Live, and does not ask for user permission. Follow the following links to stay up to date.

*Update2* abgx360.net:[QUOTE]The Fall 2011 preview dashboard version 2.0.14692.0 is now rolling out. If you are in the preview and accept the update, it will now actively use the additional DAE challenge table and AP25 backups that are patched with current AP25 replay data will fail the normal AP25 challenges outright!

Seems like microsoft is using every possibly way to stop units from running burnt copies of games. Do not use modified units online.

Update (Nov 19th 2011): New firmware LT+ 3.0 will be available soon to sort out the XGD3/AP25 mess. NO ETA. It is advised to wait for new firmware before coming in for mod/updates if you care about XBOX Live.

Update (Nov 20th 2011): Click here for temporary workaround to fix AP25/XGD3 discs not booting after silent dae.bin update.
Thanks to our customer 'Scott' for bringing this information to our attention.

Hitachi Drives Replacement:

Customers who are waiting for hitachi lt 2.0 firmware, have the option of replacing thier drives to Liteon/BenQ to be able to use XGD3 game backups.

We have refurbished DVD-ROMs available for $45 and brand new ones for $60. Price includes installation of LT+ 2.0 firmware. It is a good idea to change the drive to another brand because hitachi is ALWAYS the last drive to get firmware updates.

XBOX 360 Disc Burners:

Certain PC burners (Liteon iHAS124B models and some variants) are capabale of fully burning XGD3 discs without the need for truncating at the end of the disc. This allows for 100% 1:1 copy of the original XGD3 disc such as Forza 4, Gears 3 etc.

This news is regarding burners used on PC to make XBOX 360 backups, and not for dvd drives inside the XBOX 360

It is strongly advised to use these burners to make games. These PC DVD burners need to be flashed with iXtreme Burner MAX which can be done using manufacturer's utilities. Here are current list of models :

• Liteon iHAS124B
• Liteon iHAS224B
• Liteon iHAS324B
• Liteon iHAS424B

XBOX 360 System Update:

System update released October 11th 2011 does not affect the firmware mod. It is safe to install if you have the latest LT2.0/1.9 firmware.

However, as always it is strongly advised to wait couple of days to make certain it does not affect XBOX Live funtionality.

Update (Oct 24th 2011): It is advised not to use Forza 5 XGD3 backup as it does not compare to the original disc using current burning methods.

LT+ 2.0 firmware for XBOX 360 Slim:

iXtreme LT plus 2.0 (LT-MAX) is now available to install for fresh mods or firmware updates on XBOX 360 Slims also. This firmware is able to read newer large disc format games (XGD3) like Gears of War 3 etc.

With the slim firmware update, LT+ 2.0 now supports Liteon (slim & phat), Benq and Samsung Drives. Customers with hitachi drives will have to wait bit longer.

Retail copies of the games can be used without issues on the latest firmware. LT 2.0 (No ETA) will be coming out to support such backups. Currently some of these games are - Gears of war 3, Driver SF, Warhammer.

XBOX 360 Slim hack & LT 1.91 firmware

New LT Plus firmware version 1.91 is now available for fresh installs or upgrades. This firmware supports executing AP 2.5 games which were recently disabled by dashboard update. It is available to install on all XBOX 360 systems - Including the Slim units.

On XBOX 360's 19 July 2011 Update:
Post updated: 01 August 2011

New dashboard released today for the XBOX 360, should be avoided until further notice. This update has been reported to affect some makes of DVD drives, while others are okay.

Update can be taken safely by units which have been updated to post 13xxxx dashboard and have had LT 1.9 installed. Please note that AP2.5 games (Assasin's creed brotherbood, Call of Duty Black OPS etc.) will not boot if you upgrade the dashboard to latest version.

Update #1: AP2.5 security has been updated, which means AP2.5 games will not boot and end up showing black screen. Everything else will work fine. AP2.5 games would require new patches, and possibly a new firmware.

Update #2: Users currently on the latest update released june 14th 2011 (LT+ 1.9) can take the update without issues.

Update #3: Users who are below 13146 dashboard version will have thier drives flashed to stock by updating this. They will need thier drives reflashed. Also, users running a spoofed drive (different model than from factory), could get some error code while performing this update. Again, these users need a firmware upgrade.

Update #4: Customers with slim xbox 360s, should not update. Especially if thier units are modified. There is a russian hacker working on a solution for this. So stay tuned. This also means all XBOX 360 slim should be modifiable soon.

Update #5: For customers wishing to mod or do firmware upgrade, it is strongly recommened to wait for the new firmware LT 1.91 to come out. There are also new devices which emulate the DVD drive coming out soon, which will allow to hookup a hard drive with ISO files to be used directly with the console. So stay tuned, and check back for updates.

Don't update DSi to firmware 1.4.3: R4i and AK2i chips will not work.

LT+ 1.9 firmware for XBOX 360:

New LT Plus firmware version 1.9 is now available for fresh installs or upgrades. Please note that his firmware version is currently available for Benq, Samsung and Liteon DVD drives. Firmware for XBOX 360 slim models will be available later.

Also note, if you have not updated your console to the latest dashboard, then bring it in as is.

Don't update DSi to firmware 1.4.2: R4i and AK2i chips will not work.

On XBOX 360's 19 May 2011 Update:

New upcoming XBOX 360 system update scheduled for May 19 2011 should be avoided until further notice. Leaked release of this update shows that it unmods XBOX 360 consoles. The process flashes offcial factory firmware onto the DVD drive and removes hacked firmware.

In simple terms, if you perform this update then xbox will no longer be able to read burnt backup discs, unless it is re-flashed with iXtreme LT+.

It is strongly advised not to update to the latest system update when it is released on may 19th 2011. Customers who accidentally or willingly update will need to get a firmware upgrade done again, but we recommened waiting for new firmware (LT 2.0) to become avaiable before reflash.

Update #2 (13th June 2011): Firmware update v1.9 for Benq, Samsung and Liteon (non slim) drives coming VERY VERY soon. Other drives like the Slim liteon 9504 will follow later.

Update #1 (20th May 2011): The update from microsoft is out. As expected, it disables the mod partially and fully on some consoles. A firmware re-flash (or upgrade if modded by jogimods), can fix this. But the current LT+ firmware cannot support the new AP2.5 games (like Mordern Warfare 2, Black OPS, and other recent games). It is strongly recommended to wait for the new firmware to come out for upgrades and mods alike. There is no ETA on new firmware or AP patches.

Please check back for update, we will update this post as more information becomes available.

XBOX 360 Slim Mod is now available.

Please note there are 3 different DVD drives in the Slim - The liteon 0225, liteon 9504 and Hitachi 0500. Currently only one of them is modifiable, which is Liteon 9504.

To check which version of DVD drive you have, find out the lot # and serial # from the back of your unit. Refer to the picture and check the tables below(credit: ubergeek @ TX).

Acekard for Nintendo 3DS: version is now available. It allows DS game backups to be run on the 3DS console.

Note: 3DS backups are not supported.

Price Reduction: We have now reduced prices for XBOX 360, DS and iPhone/iPod repairs while keeping the same quality service and warranties. Enjoy cheers!.

All PSPs with software version 6.35 or lower can now be hacked.

On XBOX 360's 19 January 2011 Update:

All modified units are strongly advised NOT to update yet. This update also disables booting of certain games like Call of Duty Black Ops, Mordern Warfare 2, Halo Reach and possibly others too. If this update can disable booting of game discs, it can also very well flag the unit for ban.

Update #1:

This update only affects AP2.5 games, and drives without AP2.5 are not affected (Samsung, and early Hitachi drives). Other drives with latest LT+ firmware would most likely not be flagged for ban.

If you have AP2.5 drive (Liteon, BenQ, Hitachi v78 or v79) without LT+ firmware (latest update for firmware), it has high chance of being banned. AP2.5 has also possibly been activated for some older games.

Developers are hard @ work to get this working, and mentioned that new firmware will not be required. The games will need to be re-patched. Please wait PATIENTLY, as there is no ETA when these patches will become available.

Update #2:

Patches have been released, Use latest ABGX v 1.0.5 from here to patch the games.

Our Service Hours schedule has been changed for the New Year. Please check our service hours for detailed information.

XBOX 360 Dashboard Update Nov 1st 2010:

New dashboard update, scheduled to be released 1st November 2010, has been confirmed by c4eva to have new security checks built in. All modified consoles should stay away from the update and XBOX Live, and also from newer games like Fable 3 or any other games with Security Sector v3 to avoid any possible bans.

It is rumoured (not confirmed yet) that Samsung & *some* Hitachi drives will not be effected by this but all LiteOn and BenQ drives will be effected. Users can guess thier drives models here. New firmware LT+ has been announced for required drives and XBOX 360 Slim. No ETA when it will be released.

Please note:
(a) Do not ask which games come with security sector v3, as we simply do not know. Users can possibly check the security sector version with tool like ABGX360.
(b) Please do not call regarding this, as any updates to the matter will be posted on the website in minutes..

JTAG units, ofcourse, should not update at all. They can however, use newer backups by removing the '$SystemUpdate' folder from the extracted game.

Update November 16th 2010: Many users and online sources reported that upgrading to new dashboard does not pose any danger. While we will suggest not to update, but if you want to take the chance.. go ahead and update. BUT remember do not run newer games with AntiPiracy 2.5 security on the new dashboard. AP2.5 security is also may exist on older games but is inactive, but potentially micros0ft can change that with title updates.

As previously mentioned, please use ABGX360 to check for AP2.5. Here is a screenshot on how to spot AntiPiracy2.5, it can be seen as the first text in yellow.

Update November 16th 2010: New firmware available. LT+ has been released for Benq, Liteon 7, 8 and 9 series of drives. See latest post at the top of this page

AVRKey (PS3Key) sports new lower price & is available for pickup @ $40.
