XBOX 360 Update?
- Thread starter Millsy
- Start date
so its being released today?
the xbox website says its monday the 7th but then again that may have been the US release
sweet
I have downloaded it as well and I have logged into my msn account (on my 360), but my mates are at work at the moment . So can't try it. I like the 5th blade (MarketPlace) and everything seems to run faster and smoother.. Also like how if you have an Xbox 360 game in while connected to Live it now tells you what game you have in the tray... Like the "Background Downloads" option. If downloading something from MarketPlace, once it has finished it will automatically shut the 360 down .

A bit of info about the update and modified DVD firmwares:
As general rule, if you have a modified DVD FW we always suggest you wait till more details come in before you update your console or you can flash back the original FW. As always, update is at your own risk.
As you know from Commodore4Eva received information that Microsoft is working on a way to detect backup discs (the disc, not the flashed drive!). He already released a new Xtreme v5.3 firmware for Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943[/url] with added Disc-Jitter to Challenge Types 5/7 to pass this extra check Microsoft might do.
So if Microsoft adds the Disc-Jitter check to the Spring 2007 Update and you have a TS-H943 drive with the new v5.3 Xtreme FW, you should be fine (assuming they didn't add any other checks of course).
If you have a Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L drive with modified FW, we STRONGLY suggest you do NOT upgrade your dash/kernel yet. These modified FWs do NOT have disc-jitter added yet, so if Microsoft added this check they will detect backup discs. People are working on a quick patch for Hitachi-LG Xtreme v2.x FW to just add Disc-Jitter and eventually it'll catch up the Toshiba-Samsung drive to bring it to v5.3 as well. We'll of course let you know as soon as any if this gets released
What will Microsoft do when they detect this? That's something we don't know atm, we'll have to wait for the update. They will probably stop the game from booting, but they could start banning consoles from LIVE too (even if that might cause bad press) or who knows what they planned
yup then it asks if you want to install it
I heard you can't play online though?
If that is correct, can you just not play the copied games online, or any game?
found the answer...
Q: The email address assigned to my Xbox LIVE account is different to the email address I use on my PC for Windows LIVE messenger. Is there a way for me to still access my messenger account?
A: Not at this time. We are working on the ability to allow users to change the email address they originally used when signing up for Xbox Live. The feature will be available in an upcoming release.
and yes they will see you, will show that your playing a game. you can be signed into live but not sign into the messenger tho so it's not too bad! lol

* Audio Profiles: 2 channel AAC low complexity (LC)
* Audio Max Bitrate: No restrictions. See question number 6 for more information.
2. What exactly does the Xbox 360 support for MPEG-4 Part 2?
Xbox 360 supports the following for MPEG-4:
* File Extensions: .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .mov
* Containers: MPEG-4, QuickTime
* Video Profiles: Simple (including Simple profile content mislabeled as Advanced Simple)

* Audio Profiles: 2 channel AAC low complexity (LC)

3. What exactly does the Xbox 360 support for WMV (VC-1)?

* File Extensions: .wmv
* Container: asf
* Video Profiles: WMV7 (WMV1), WMV8 (WMV2), WMV9 (WMV3), VC-1 (WVC1 or WMVA) in simple, main, and advanced up to Level 3

5. What are the different ways to play video content on Xbox 360?
You can play video from a USB 2.0 FAT32 removable drive, optical media, and by streaming from the Zune software or Windows Media Player 11.
6. What is the "real" max bit rate, resolution, and frames per second that you support for all the different formats?
Xbox 360 does not specifically block video from playing based on a maximum bit rate, resolution, or frames per second. The maximums listed above for each codec are what we have tested for various video playback sources. Higher rated content will not be blocked, but playback may be less then optimal. Use higher bitrates at your own risk.
18. After the May 2007 update, my 3rd party software doesn't stream videos correctly. Why?
Video navigation was changed in the May 2007 update. 3rd party software that does not support folders through network sharing will not work correctly. You'll have to contact the software developer for support.
22. How can I get Windows Media Player 11 to stream MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264 to my console?
By default, Windows Media Player 11 does not support MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264. You can either convert your MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264 content to WMV or you can install a 3rd party MP4 DirectShow decoder pack to import MPEG-4 part 2 and H.264 files into your library. Once they are in your library they can be streamed to your console just like WMVs.
