Some Advice if you please..

Hey guys,

I have only just found this site after spending about a year playing xbox games on my BenQ drive (firmware v1.4) without going near xbox live.

I have know decided that my life would be much better off if I got my self sorted and online.

Now, I intend to flash to the latest firmware from xbins and would love to play forza3 and MW2 online but I'm worried about my old game collection.

For the past year or so I've been downloading and playing games without even thinking about stealth checking them. I reckon I have about 15 games, most of which I'd like to play online but I'm not sure if it's safe.

I know that no-one here works form microsoft so no-one can give me a definitive answer, but in your opinion what would you do in my situation??

a, flash the drive, check all new games are steathed but still play the old game online (without worrying about it)

b, flash the drive, check all new games (as their downloaded) and re-download my games collection and re-burn them after checking them?

or

c, is there a way to check a game disk to see if it's steath ok after it's been burnt?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope that my noob questions aren't a pain.

Flash your drive
Check all new games
just play old games offline unless you redownload and check them(if you are paranoid)

[blastman]

cool.

can i run them through abgx360 to be sure??

I'd just do it and see but I'm at work and the games are at home

[JoeMal]

Yeah, run it through ABGX

If you used the search function, you would find answers to ALL of your questions, and more, without having to wait for replies

[blastman]

thanks for your reply,

to be fair I dod use the search function but i couldn't find what i was after.

cheers again

oh, and another thought...


I've checked my old game collection and most are fine but some have errors when run through agbx360.

As I've never played any of these games online, am I safe to just crack on and only play stealthed games on x live? or when you go online does the xbox tell microsoft about your pervious game history and it failings?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like your safe aslong as you dont play the game that you havnt checked and verified the iso of being safe to play, just a warning about mw2, make sure you download a proper legit retail copy and not the first rips as this will deffiently get you banned

It will send the data to Microsoft, however if you are talking about games a year ago, I doubt anything will happen. Even still your games wouldn't have played if completely unstealthed so you are fine. I have played unstealthed games online for a couple of games, even pre-release and I am fine. I think you should be fine, just make sure to check all your future games and download them from a reliable source. Update your firmware and enjoy the pirate world.
