Technical details

------------------------

 

Disc-Jitter is slight randomization added to the result of Challenge types 5 and 7 so as to emulate a result from an actual physical drive.

This is to avoid any possible replay detection.

 

 

 

Disc-LockOn is additional laser calibration performed when disc inserted returns a cannot identify disc type error. This is for consoles that had very bad open tray issues (Finally got hold of one that had this problem )

 

Open tray errors now fixed for good, but "Open Tray" is still a valid status for disc insertions when the drive cannot reconize the disc.

 

Dual speed firmwares C (default fast) and D (default quite/slow) return. Both toggle with original Xbox1/360 disc. Originals unaffected.

 

Added patch to routines that specifically targeted Xbox 1 discs with read errors

 

Added patch to a routine that may have caused read errors on Xbox1/360 discs.

 

Added support for -/+RW discs for both Xbox1 and 360 discs.

 

Added easier batch file to create firmwares "Make Xtreme firmware.cmd". Just follow the prompts.

 

 

 

 

Single layer disks now supported for both Xbox1 and 360. The disks can be in either the same normal raw dump method or in XBOX file ISO format.

This fully works with Xbox 1 using the new Qwix or gdfimage created ISO. The default.xbe must be unmodified and still be signed (If in doubt , copy from original)

 

360 file ISO is still in development. The exact strcture for the 360 disc is being developed and a new Qwix will support the creation of these disks.

 

Xbox1 file ISo now supports full 4.7GB as no need for video partition etc.

 

For Xtreme 5.3C all backup Read Speed is same as original game disks 12x. Originals unaffected and no speed switch

 

For Xtreme 5.3D all backup Read Speed is quite/slow. Originals unaffected and no speed switch

 

 

 

 

Fall update 2006 included DVD Drive version lockdown on consoles manufactured around end of May/start of June 2006. These consoles are now locked to the version of DVD drive that came with the console. If the DVD drive is different than original drive, Error 66 will be displayed. The response of the Atapi Inquiry command is compared to the stored original drive response to achieve this. (Thanx to DeViLs360 for initial find. Consoles manufactured before end of May 2006 do not perform this comparison. Only MS25 drives affected by Error 66 with Xtreme 5.0 should use the Make file for MS25.

 

Changes have also been made to the resulting Hitachi/MS25 reporting firmware to make them more similar to their original firmwares.

 

To use the updated Make files (only if getting Error 66), just copy your existing Samsung firmware to the extracted directory and rename it to orig.bin. Then run the corresponding Make file for your Original drive. This will create the modified X42a.bin/x42b.bin.

 

 

Security sectors are read in this order:

 

Only if disc is type DVD-Rom read Xbox 360 security sector from PSN FD021E (Layer 1)

Otherwise read Xbox 360 security sector from PSN 04FB1F (Layer 0)

then check for Enable0800 security sector from PSN 04FB1F (Layer 0)

then read Xbox 1 security sector from PSN 605FF (Layer 0)

then read Xbox1 file iso sector from PSN 30020 (Layer 0)

 

FOr Xtreme 5.3A backup Read Speed is always same as original game disks 12x. Original discs unaffected

 

FOr Xtreme 5.3B backup Read Speed is always quiet/slow. Original discs unaffected.

 

FOr Xtreme 5.3C default backup Read Speed is same as original game disks 12x. When Original Game disk is booted, all subsequent backup loading will be at Quiet/Slow Read mode, Original Game disks are unaffected. Turn console off/on to reset back to Default backup read speed (12x). Quiet/Slow Read Speed is for quiet operation and/or cheap DVD+R DL media.

 

FOr Xtreme 5.3D default backup Read Speed is Quiet/Slow 2-4x. When Original Game disk is booted, all subsequent backup loading will be at Fast Read mode 12x, Original Game disks are unaffected. Turn console off/on to reset back to Default backup read speed for backups (2-4x).

 

FirmGuard disables reading/writing of drive firmware. This is always on. Can only be turned off via Enable0800 mode. Do not have SATA cable plugged into Xbox 360 console when in Enable0800 mode.

 

Backups now automatically have pre-locked PSN range same as stated in extracted PFI sector if exists, or embeded PFI, therefore cannot read extracted SS/PFI/DMI sectors from disk. Currently all original 360 games have same PFI sector but maybe not in future, hence new feature of extracting PFI in Enable0800 mode and read from backup at PSN $4fb1d (Xbox 360) and $605fd (Xbox1) or if these sectors are blank embeded PFI will be used

 

Backups now support loading of DMI sector. This sector is different for every original 360 game but is currently not checked for, but maybe in future hence DMI can now be extracted also in Enable0800 mode and read from backup at PSN $4fb1e (Xbox 360) and $605fe (Xbox1)

 

Firmware checks for Enable0800 security sector @ PSN 04FB1F and if found, enables 0800 mode of firmware.

 

ISO image Enable0800.iso is available in Xtreme 4.2 or below. 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.

Reads Xbox 360/Xbox 1 security sector from PSN FD021E (Layer 1)

Reads Xbox 360 security sector from PSN 04FB1F (Layer 0)

Reads Xbox 1 security sector from PSN 605FF (Layer 0)

Reads Xbox 1 file iso sector from PSN 30020 (Layer 0)

 

Security sector must be extracted using Enable0800 DVD for Xbox360 games and Xbox 1 games

 

 

Flashing your drive
