My uncle give me a modded x360 after my examination and he also said that the firmware already been updated. Yesterday, he gave me the new L4D 2 game(pirated), but when i run the game,the console alwys telling me to update my 360. The only way i can play the game is by removing the hardrive and it can only play the single mode. I wanted to play the multiplayer mode with my brother.Can anybody help me?

Several things could have happened here:
1) the game has been patched to wave 3 (I ventured onto the torrent sites and was shocked at what I saw going on). You can check the disc with abgx360 and it will tell you if you.
The game however looks for what is the current dashboard update and will tell you it needs to be updated before it can play (if you have patched to wave 3 this update will not be included), removing your hard drive probably just makes the game fall back to a "compatibility mode" of sorts which will allow basic play.

Two options here:
a) If it is not homebrew capable or you just do not care for it then update by hand: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemus...stemupdates.htm

b) If by some miracle you are still on a 7 series kernel then I would suggest sorting homebrew out and using the rebooter app (development has slowed but a homebrew capable 360 is set to be a wonderful thing- region free and beyond). This is in the territory of full blown homebrew though and somewhat complex.

2) You have a 1.61 on a samsung or benq drive or a hitachi drive with 1.51 (the only modern hacked firmwares that can boot wave4 and seemingly beyond unaided) and have been blocking the update by yourself. Let it happen if you want.

Thanks for the information.

No intention of hijacking this thread but what is the possible solution for people with ixtreme 1.6 on lite-on.
Can't you just use activate.iso to play Wave 4/5 games on Liteon iX 1.6?

So activate ISO will work fine with wave 5 games as well with lite-on ix 1.6?

Activate.iso disables checks (although it will still use/comply with stealth if it can) which are what is triggered when attempting to play a wave not officially supported.

@ OP. Just update. If you are playing online then it is just a game patch. If offline it is just a dashboard update.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Even then, I only usually talk in Discord, and only on two channels-- one is a general gaming discussions channel, and the other is one with my high school buddies.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Best way to do it I like being able to count the people I keep around on my fingers
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Agreed. Managing how many friends you have can be exhausting.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Or rather, managing relationships. Sad as it is, I don't even usually talk to too many people I've known in other places I've lived.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I've moved around several times in my adult life. And apart from my old high school buddies on Discord, I only talk to one of my old co-workers from the last place I lived.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Shame, too, because I've met some cool people over the years, and hung out plenty of times with some of them. But comunication just kind of fizzles out shortly after I move.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Moving can be the worse part I stayed they left still keep in touch with a few
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    that annoys me
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    his dusty ahh shouldve stayed their
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    rich people can pay their way out of anything
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    tax them all into poverty now
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Well he assaulted a man this time so I guess he's slowly learning
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    so he didn't even go to jail for hitting rihanna
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    his bail should've been 100 mil
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    If I got 1mill over Chris brown hitting me I'd gladly accept it
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    they don't get it tho isn't it the police
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    u deserve more bb
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Usually victim gets something from the celeb if they're lesser known person getting attacked
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Has Gatorade always came in cans? https://a.co/d/2AYN8Mu
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Bail is kind of a BS mechanic in the real world.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Good for the people that aren't guilty of much, or anything, who may really need it. But being able to pay £5 million to get your ass out of jail for proven assault is shitty.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    People assault each other every day how much should poverty have to pay?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'd say do a few months and be required rehab time
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I can agree to that.
    Delerious @ Delerious: I can agree to that.
