1- x3 is more enriched with bios features than the 2.6ce
2- the x3cp has the pro switch and lcd on it and replaces the stock m$ front panel
3- the xapt3r for the 1.6 has different pins and the d0 is different ( i think)

What he said plus
1.6 boxes require an LPC rebuild. The 1.6 version of the xapt3r will be require no soldering to get the chip up and running you will still have to solder the hardrive and LAN lights if you want them

oh the xapt3r is the soderless adapter. i thought it was the easier to soder 1.6 plate for the backside of the box.

what would that soder plate be called and is it out for the 1.6? i don't mind the minor soddering that it required but am hesitent to run wires and sodder them.

The LPC rebuild comes with the chip, so there you go. I personally havent done it(1.0 box) but I have heard its easy, and as you can see if theres a problem we're here to help :D

About Hitachi f/w

I've noticed that since LT has become available, the Hitachi drive is the only drive that hasn't been updated.

Is there a reason for this? I saw someone state on this forum that they didnt think an update for Hitachi drives will ever come out.

Guess I'm just curious as to why, especially since i have a Hitachi :(

Re: About Hitachi f/w

Honestly i am surprised they released a Samsung LT, the reason for this is because Only old xbox have Hit and Sung drives.. The newer later console are only Benq and Liteon, theres afew later samsung, "most prob reason for Sung LT" but Hit drives are older..
I have afew Hit drives my self, But i use Xbox to flash these so LT be useless to me :)) I so need a CK3 kit soon lol..

Re: About Hitachi f/w

i thought hitachis somehow read over the partition areas and didnt need to be patched.

I have a hitachi on 1.51 i beleive and it seems to play all my backups fine. I played my backup of alan wake on it okay.

Re: About Hitachi f/w

well I know the point of the firmware was for those who play online to "feel" safer.
But i thought it was also to play the wave # games that wouldnt play on earlier firmwares.

there is no "feel" about it

it was made to BE safe

while they cannot guarantee anything, we can hope it is safe

ixtreme 1.51 was originally made to play all waves, however, due to some flaw in the coding, only hitachi 1.51 will play all waves

hitachi firmware is the most rediculous to code, so that is why they haven't made LT for it yet, and might not ever do it

good for you, but unfortunately your comment doesn't pertain to the discussion

to wrap things up

1)Hitachi firmware is the most tedious to make
2)We can only hope that LT is safe
3)Hitachi 1.51 will play all waves of games

well my original one did until you stepped in and got arrogant for no reason. My original post was both a question and a comment towards the OP.

so yes good for me.
