Some Additional Info as the Christmas Eve Release of iXtreme LT+ v3.0 Nears
Posted on 2011-12-21 by admin | Translate
With the final testing stage of BenQ and phat Lite-On underway in preparation for the scheduled Christmas Eve release of c4evas iXtreme LT+ v3.0, we thought wed drop some additional bits of info into your Stockings in the form of answers to some recent questions.
Version 3.0 of iXtreme LT+ for BenQ and Lite-On (both phat and slim) does in fact retain support for truncated backups, although it is strongly recommended to use full burns made with a compatible Lite-On iHAS drive flashed with the iXtreme Burner MAX fw. Support for truncated backups, however, remains excluded from Hitachi in its forthcoming 3.0 version.
While abgx360 v1.0.6 remains in progress, the new version of Xbox Backup Creator can be used temporarily as an alternative for injecting the necessary new AP25 topology data files into existing backup ISOs. XBC doesnt perform the same degree of validation of topology data files, and provides no means to verify their authenticity or correctness, so be very cautious if using files from unknown sources until abgx360 is released. In addition to extracting/injecting AP25 topology data files, the new XBC also works with the existing 0800 v3.0 ripping firmware to dump backup ISOs that include proper topology data from original game discs. At the time of writing, it has yet to be definitively determined whether the new XBC will be released alongside LT v3.0, or if it will be released later. The new abgx360 is still under heavy development, and will release in due time.
Recently, there have been some rumors and bogus info spread by a sad individual that is attempting to trick and confuse people with fake release dates, false info, bogus IRC channels and Facebook accounts (note: we dont post on Facebook, only Twitter), and mislabeling things as official when they are in fact not. Wed like to remind users that the only official sources for news and info from c4eva and the team are here at c4evaSpeaks.com, the #c4e channel on EFNet IRC, the Team-Xecuter, JungleFlasher, and abgx360 websites, as well as reliable news outlets such as Xbox-Scene. Be wary of news or information from other outlets that dont cite the official #c4e IRC channel or one of the aforementioned sites as the original source.
Quoted of of c4eva's IRC chat channel! Lt+ 3.0 will be out Christmas eve.
Facts are that you will be able to play AP25 games and XGD3 online. ABGX will not be out yet but you can use Xbox Backup Creator to inject the necessary AP25 files. You can also play truncated discs but it's recommended to get the IHAS drive and burn that way. Everyone owes c4eva a big thank you for his continued support!
Thank you c4eva!

--OuTlaW-- wrote Are truncated discs,discs that are not burned with an i has and missing some files?Yes, basically discs burnt to fit data onto it but losing some data at the end. In depth quoted from chris-fletcher:
Truncating is a process by which the item being truncated is sized to a particular length. Taking a number for example3.141592654. What if we only have 3 available boxes to fit this number into? By using truncation we could truncate this number down to 3.14, do we need the other numbers? NO we dont. Does 3.14 change drastically because weve truncated it to 3 digits? NO it doesnt.
When we truncate an ISO, all we are doing is cutting off the end of the file, most of it being meaningless data that is not needed. We do this to change the size of the ISO so that it can fit onto a standard dual layer disc.
A word of warning about truncating. In some circumstances the data being cut off while truncating contains important security information that is sometimes required for validation and could quite possibly get you banned from XBox Live. You should only use truncation as a last resort for burning XGD3 discs and when you do, make sure that you do not game online.

Most truncated discs dont have the security files on there, which will spring error such as Forza 4 CIV error, it is cheap enough to do it properly
