First of all
Happy new year to everyboy!!!
Here is some
sweet information about game-dumping issues,
the network off feature and the banning
craze...
First of
all we have a very helpful hint for people
who have problems dumping their original
games using the new SHD162D or SHD163B
drives using the KREON firmware. There are a
lot of reports of the drives failing to read
the security sectors at the 3% stage of the
whole reading progress. The solution is as
simple as this: install CloneCD, reboot your
PC and you're good to go. We don't exactly
know what CloneCD is doing to help with this
problem, our guess is that it is refreshing
some drivers during the installation.
Also we
feel that there is some requirement of an
indepth explanation of the network and usb
off features: You are an XBox Live user and
you are using the network off feature
so the Xbox360 can not go online through the
network connection when playing a backup.
But you also want to play a link game with
your friends from time to time which you are
using a backup for. So as the network
connection is turning off when inserting a
backup you can use the usb network adapter
to connect with your friends' Xbox360
consoles. You can also use the vice versa
way: When you play live using the USB
Network Adapter then use the USB off feature.
This way the Xbox360 can not go online when
a backup is inserted but you can still use
the network connection to play linkg games
with your friends in case the link games are
backups.
What about
all this banning from the Xbox Live service?
We have made some more investigation. When
using the NME-360 v2 chip wisely then you
can not get banned from the Xbox Live
service (as of today of course). The NME-360
v2 chip itself can not be detected as it is
fully stealth. The only thing that can get
you in trouble is when you are playing a
backup online. So if you only play original
games online and backups offline there is no
chance to get banned from the XBox Live
service. Even in the case you are crazy
enough to not to use the network off feature
and you go online with an activated NME-360
v2 chip your XBox360 box can not get banned.
Only if you play a backup chances are pretty
high your box gets banned. For your extra
piece of a secure mind you should of course
always use the latest stealth methods to
dump your games. So be wise, use the network
off feature and play only original games
online!!!
And as a
last sidenote for today we need to mention
that there seem to be some booting issues
with Hitachi 59 drives when NME2.0 is
installed. We wil fix this problem as soon
as possible. In case it is a softwareproblem
of the chip it will be a good test for the
soon to be released NME2.0 programming
adapter. ;-)
