XECUTER X360 USB PRO !

What a busy day it's been for the scene 🙂 We have been working very hard on a number of products these last few months, one in particular that we have been very excited about. You may have read our news the other day that one of of our more popular products had been copied in China. We hear today that another group are releasing a product whose vague description sounded strinkingly similar to ours. As this is a cat and mouse business these days we figured that we'd let this particular cat out of the bag and give you a sneak peak at one of the big products we have been working on these last couple of months.

The Xecuter X360 USB PRO – The World's first ALL 360 DVD to USB Adapter !

As part of the team who are extensively involved in the programming of DVD firmware, we have been able to develop the most stable and solid 360 DVD to USB converter that you could ever possibly wish for. Gone are the days of Sata cards and disabling VIA drivers and messing around with x64 issues. Simply plug in your drive to your USB port and go.  Supports all Hitachi, Samsung, Benq & Liteon DVD Drives ! Finally this is now open to all from beginners to hard core enthusiasts.

The prototypes we have been working with are obviously very roughly made – but we are about a week or so away from a final test prototype and production should begin soon. There will also be custom software which is also in development.

Watch this space 🙂

Here is a snapshot of the current schematic 🙂

Official Release of iXtreme LT+ (Benq & Liteon)

Here you go folks

http://bit.ly/fRMpXK

Official release of C4E's iXtreme LT+
– Supports Benq and Liteon Drives (74850, 83850V1, 83850V2, 93450)
– Optimized PFI code to accommodate AP25 SS data
– Defeats current AP25 protection
– Protects console from logging AP25 violation
– Full disc stealth used by default
– Waveless booting, disc images are assumed to be correct!
– Split-Vid used as default

If booting an AP25 title without AP25 SS game will not boot but will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0
If LT+ encounters an unknown AP25 challenge, game will not boot but console will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0

AP25 SS are region specific for region locked games (Current Example NFS: Hot Pursuit is both PAL and NTSC – 2 different AP25 Patches)

If you boot the AP25 titles without LT+ you will probably be flagged for a ban.

You cannot spoof a different model drive as that can now be detected. With this release of LT+ you HAVE to have an original Benq or Liteon.

LT+ for slim 9504 is next followed by LT+ for slim 0225

Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.
Thanks go to Team Xecuter for their generous support and input to this project.

Xecuter CK3 Pro – Fake Copies Warning

It has come to our attention that a small factory in China is making cheap, low quality copies of the hugely popular CK3 Pro 360 DVD Rom connectivity kit. They do say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, however these came through our retail channels due to a high number of faulty returns and there were attempts at having them replaced on the official Xecuter Warranty. Not only are they poor quality, but they are wholesaling them for the same cost at what we are wholesaling the genuine products to our wholesale network, so it's pointless buying them in the first place.

If you are looking to buy genuine Xecuter products through wholesale channels then simply contact Supreme Factory or China Distribution and they will take care of you. If you are looking for genuine Xecuter retailers then they are listed on our Official Resellers Page.

Remember that when you buy fake copies, even though you are paying the same price as the genuine product you will get no support, and no warranty. If you have bought a fake CK3 Pro or have any questions please use this thread on our forums.

Here are some comparison photographs to see if you have a fake or genuine CK3 Pro.

CK3-CP Latest

Yes we have not forgotten about the CK3-CP. Maybe we have been a little distracted lately with various AVR USB work (however we have certainly been busy with our own actual XECUTER AVR USB work – this is for sure 😉 )

Anyway as many of you in the scene who have been talking to us on IRC in the last few weeks will know, that we ripped the CK3-CP design apart and made some major "under the hood" changes to make it as slick and as solid as possible (Credits to many of our Beta testers who really jumped the hell out of this and poked every single design flaw in the ass). This really is a fantastic piece of kit and with there being so many variables with everyone's computer systems / psu's we wanted to make sure that it was as spot-on as possible. Anyway after a brief hiatus we rolled out the latest prototype and just for fun – in honor of our friends at Team Jungle including  C4E we made this fancy pants Jungle design lol :p

Many are also asking us about the 360 Slim progress since we posted a video of it booting backups a while back. Soon kids, soon 😉

……NAND-X v2 AVR Edition with various goodies coming soon 🙂

LT Clip – First Real 100% No Solder Kit For Liteon DVD On Sale + Instructions

The new Xecuter LT Clip + LT Switch v2 bundle pack is now exclusively ON SALE HERE

After the discovery that a small number of Liteon drives would not dump the fw with a 20 ohm resistor – but required an 18 Ohm or 22 Ohm resistor –  so you can now select between 18, 20 and 22 Ohms ! (Default should be set to 20 Ohms – this will work 99% of the time)

This is the first and only real Liteon solution where there is 100% No Soldering & No Glue – The fastest and easiest "MRA Hack" product on the market.

LT Clip + LT Switch v2 – Final Images

We are pleased to announce the completion of the latest in our line of LT Switch Liteon DVD mod products, the LT Clip + LT Switch v2.

Production has just begun so we will give you a delivery date shortly.

This kit has been designed with the beginner in mind. It's been in development for a while due to the absolute precision and stability needed to make sure it works for the the lifetime of the DVD Drive with no soldering or glue for trace repairs. We have even included a built in continuity tester to make sure your trace cuts are perfect.

Installation is simple. Make 3 trace cuts (The same as LT Switch v1.X), fit the LT Clip PCB to the Liteon PCB and use the continuity test button to make sure your cuts are correct (Green LED = Good, Red LED = bad). Once you have a Green LED you then fit the specially designed clip to fix the PCB in place. That's it !

The LT Clip can be used with either the new LT Switch v2 or the CK3 Probe II. The first batch will be shipped bundled with the LT Switch v2 and then there will be options later.

We expect the cost for the complete LT Clip & LT Switch v2 bundle kit to be no more than $19.95.

• If you are skilled and can solder then you can use the LT Switch v1.5
• If you are a multiple modder who can solder but wants to be fast and cost effective then you have the CK3 Probe II
• If you are a beginner who has no soldering skills or equipment, doesn't want to buy or use conductive glue and doesn't want the expense to post their console to someone for modding – then the LT Clip solution is perfect for you.

Now everyone has a solution to meet their skills and budget.

Here is a library of images showing the installation of the LT Clip & LT Switch v2 in detail.

CK3-CP Video

Here is a better quality video of the CK3-CP Jungle Flasher Demo that we posted yesterday. Just finishing up all the menu controls so many of the functions of Jungle Flasher can be operated direct from the CK3-CP – will post videos of that shortly.
