Gaming How To Play AP2.5 Games Without LT + (All Drives)

[jaxxster]

Taken from Xbox360iso. Sorry if i shouldnt post this here, just thought id share this for those who havent seen this. Ive tested it myself on my Lite-on with 1.6 installed and its working fine.

"The procedure is simple, but has two important requirements: have the dash version 2.0.9199.0 (with another update this method is obsolete, because the KINECT ADVENTURES/ANIMALS updates can not be installed...even with the 12416 beta dash) and LiteOn DVD or BenQ DVD.
The way to avoid the AP25 is (follow the steps one by one, and in order):

Quote:
For those who still have a dash older than the 9199 (8XXX) here is the update to 9199.

This method ensures that all games run at 100%. From the oldest to the newest, even those with AP 2.5 protection. Tested on a Xbox Fat. Need confirmation if it works well in a Xbox Slim.

GETTING STARTED

There is an unconfirmed version, this method doesn't work with spoofed drives. According to the user didera, this updates, will disable all functions of the drive.

1-Install update Kinect adventure. Unzip the file UPDATE-KINECT-ADVENTURES.rar, place it on a pendrive formatted in FAT32, place it on the console and turn on.

MIRROR:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SQZ2Z0QQ or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T4M5ET74 or
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2h1zx562vedp5y7

The new dashboard will be the 2.0.12413.0

2-Delete the folder from the pendrive, and unzip the second file UPDATE-KINECT-ANIMALS.rar

3-Install update Kinect animals, in the same way as above.

MIRROR:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2OQA2XMX or
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dpmh5k0np2p6xo4

The new dashboard will be the 2.0.12416.0

4-Place the DVD of AC: B, will be asked to update. OK, (this update will be changed or something like that, probably a bug or exploit, because you have installed the previous two) and enjoy...

If you have Flash 1.6, use activate.iso, without changing the wave (wave 9).

Edit: don't patch the AC: B, or not be able to install the update included in the game.

Edit 2: if you want to upgrade with the NFS: HP game, also works according to the user dbc.

Edit 3: this method didn't flag the console according to the user princepk, after checking it, with the software XVAL. This makes sense, since there is no manipulation of hardware.

Edit 4: not recommended connect to xbox live, until the new firmware LT+ is available. If there is any new update on Live, this could be overridden. Do it at your own risk.

Edit 5: for those wondering, it works even after reboot, or turn off the console. It's not temporary.


Edit 6: Solution for those who need to patch to wave 2/3:

1. Install Kinect Adventures Update

2. Install Kinect Animals Update

3. Install the following update:

4. Play your Wave 2/3 Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

NOTE: The two updates, were extracted from the iso of each game.

Are breaking the MU links, due to massive downloading. If anyone can re-upload, I update the thread. Thanks.

Microsoft, f *** you!! jajajaja"

will this work if I already installed the dashboard update that was on the disk?

 

[jaxxster]

Doubt it! I think you need on 9199 on pre then

 

[Langin]

Does this means it will work on my 360 slim?(sorry for the question...)

 

[jaxxster]

if your slim is flashed and is on dash 9199

 

[Bavrogar]

Doubt it! I think you need on 9199 on pre then

so I'm screwed?

 

[Crass]

Nice trick, I wonder how/why this works exactly. Its like how the update that came on AC:B made my Hitachi fail, but updating the official update from xbox.com allows me to play (even tho I still have the AP25 failure logged in xval). Anyway even if you have your xbox disconnected this is still super risky and you will more than likely be banned from doing this.

 

[T-hug]

Nice find. I am banned so will be trying this out!

 

[bloshengland]

any news ???

 

[Alex666]

Anyone can confirm this works?
Im a bit scared because i dont want my xbox to not be able to read any copy or anything

I dont care for live so ban risk doesnt bother me... but could i damage the drive/system... so that i cant play any of my old copies?!

sorry for noobish questions >.

 

[Delta517]

It does work, I did it myself last night. It apperantly doesn't flag your Xbox either.

Please credit WiZzYx and martymacfly from EGO360 too.

 

[Alex666]

Hey Robj1969,

What steps have you done to get it work. Iam on Ixtreme 1.51 and i patch the games to wave 3..

Did you started with edit 6 of the turtiual ?

 

[Neko]

This kinda sucks. I did the wave update method on my brothers console and he just bought kinect and because of this he can't use kinect ID.

 

[Alex666]

I can now confirm that it works with the two Kinect updates and the AC:B update =) can play AC:B and my old copies

so everythings fine thanks so much *hugs*
btw was on LT and had a BenQ drive =)

I have 1.5 FW on a Liteon and yes did use edit 6 of the original post....will try NFS later and report back

 

[KingNL]

Sorry if this sounds noobish but does this work on an XBOX360 elite with kinect dash BEN-Q?

 

[Robj1969]

NFS works perfectly as wave 2
