I was reading this post at xbox-scene forums and wondered if it applied to X3 mod chips.

I am going to buy a mod chip in the near future and this will help me decide which one to get.

I read the same thread on X-S. I'm planning on installing my new X3 in my 1.6 this weekend, with the resistor method. How come nobody is replying to this thread?

Re: VIDEO PARTITIONS for wave 5 and wave 6

you can't get them because they are actually avatar awards for that specific game.... so they won't be the same from game to game.

Is there a method in the works for those specific games, or is there one already available?

Does that mean that a wave 5+ rip should just be verified as much as it can. then burned to disc, at this point? I have a few rips I've been waiting to burn, but haven't yet because of the missing video.isos.

Maybe inject the wave 5 iso with the wave 4 video partition. Either way no partition or another partition on a wave 5 or 6 disk if its missing or incorrect I doubt it would be safe for online.

Re: VIDEO PARTITIONS for wave 5 and wave 6

just seen an update for abgx that apparently detects the wave 5/6 and fully passes the stealth but not sure if this is fake but other people say it does work. i remember there was an unofficial one out before that said it was reading wave 4 but it actually wasnt. do you think this would be safe? or just wait for the official release.

Re: VIDEO PARTITIONS for wave 5 and wave 6

Has anyone tried ripping the Video partition with abgx or xbc??? They give you the option. If each wave 5 or 6 partition is different based on the disk then if your ripping it from the source disk you should be fine. I still wouldnt pass abgx because of the different types of video files due to the avatar achievements but wouldnt it still be legit? So it should be fine.

Tired it with Bioshock 2. Ripped the pfi,dmi, ss and video partition (nice 253MB file) and injected it into my iso...so far so good. but theirs no official way to verify it but its all the files from the original disk.

Are their any other ways of backing up a wave 5 or 6 that would be good?

Re: VIDEO PARTITIONS for wave 5 and wave 6

I am having issues with Bad Company 2. I checked the "Battlefield Bad Company 2 NTSC XBOX360-CCCLX" image on ABGX360 always returns the message "Video Partition does not match known data (could be corrupt or a new wave not seen before) Stealth status is uncertain."
I have downloaded all the Video ISOs for Waves 3,4,5,6 from abgx360 website and placed them under the Stealth folder of the software. But still get this message.
During gameplay, I get several problems like black screen, disc read errors (tested with 4 discs from different recorders), etc.
My Xbox360 has a BenQ drive. I had it modded last year on June but I am not certain of the mod version used. To run the game, I always use the WAVE 4 active.iso loader. My question is, do I need to update the mod version that I am using, or is there a newer active.iso loader that needs to be used?

THANKS!
