-Strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)!

More Info
---------


Strict Wave 3 compliance means wave 3 games will only boot if they have correct PFI/DMI/SS and timestamp for wave 3

Strict drive speed compliance means games will only boot if drive is set for the initial speed of 12x, any modification of this make games fail to boot

SS v2 suports multiple timing samples for challenges type 5 and 7 , stroing them in the SS. This is a pre-requiste for SS v3 which has support for the so called AP2.5 check. Since this has never been used or may never be used by MS we will adopt a wait and see approach and continue to monitor for its usage.

With drive in Windows mode (Tray half open on powerup) 0800 mode is activated allowing easy dumping of game disc including SS v2. In this mode the drive is also able to output drive key, fw version and drive type by using a simple custom inquiry command.

Game exceptions are integrated in the fw for games that do not comply with the strict wave checks but are legitimate. These are Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Stoked, Ping 17 disk, afro samurai

One shot boot mode allows you to boot a Wave X or non stealth game by using the activate.iso disk as a flag. Just insert the activate disc and the next disc inserted will boot without any strict checks. This will still utilise full stealth if available. As soon as that disc is booted the flag is cleared, and you will have to re-insert the activate disk again to enable one shot boot. As always use with caution

TEAM JUNGLE Presents IXtreme 1.51 firmware for all drives
---------------------------------------------------------

IXtreme fw for all drives!


Features
--------

Wave X support

Support of future Waves of X360 game disc structures. New partition sizes and video data will be automatically supported and will be allowed to boot.

This represents a possibility of booting a bad backup but now that there is some good tools out there (like abgx360) to check your backups before you boot them, the risk is small.

So please check your backups to ensure consistency with the original!

Full support to flash all drives in the new Jungleflasher (0.1.51) including easy upgrade for Liteon iX1.5 drives (WIll get all info inc key from drive over SATA)

1.51 has lower stealth checks, these are back in place for 1.6

i just finished using 1.6 on my benq, i was hoping that it would be a bit more stable on my system but it ended up freezing, not recognising things and generaly being a pain in the ass, i managed after two hrs to read and save the bin_cfw but i had to end up writing with dosflash, this happened with 1.51 while using a lite-on, these things happen i suppose and theirs plenty of peeps had no probs atall

[cunny]

dont know what happened there but i think it could be the drive itself and not the firmware

[tommy2426]

dont know what happened there but i think it could be the drive itself and not the firmware

i've tried it with 3 different drives and different firmware and get the same results with jungleflasher, so i take it its my OS, or maybe my onboard sata

[cunny]

yeah if your not using via i would swap to it, and do a clean instal of xp. I only use xp for flashing and via an this method has no troubles for me but i use dosflas for liteons

[lankanflash]

finally it came out. i'm going to upgrade it to 1.6

[cunny]

Please note that the 1.6 is not been released yeh for the hitachi drives.
