Xtreme Firmware for TS-H943 Xbox 360
Finally - it's here! Commodore4Eva has released the first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification allowing you to boot all game backups!
Xtreme firmware features:
- Boots all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups
- Boots all Xtreme Xbox 1 backups
- Boots all Xbox 360 originals
- Boots all Xbox 1 originals on Xbox 360
- Xtreme0800 extraction firmware enables drive to function natively under Windows without any hardware conversion/adaptors
- Use on Xbox Live at own risk
Quoted from the ReadMe.txt:
Flashing your drive
Advisable to make a backup of your dvd drive firmware first.("mtkflash r /m orig.bin")
Please make sure you hexedit the Xtreme.bin firmware (Not Xtrm0800.bin firmware) to include your dvd drive key from your original firmware (usually at $4000-4200).
Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
Power on Xbox 360
Power on PC
Boot with standard dos boot disk with included mtkflash utility
Run "mtkflash w /m firmwarename.bin" with relevant firmware file (Xtreme.bin for running backups or Xtrm0800.bin for security sector extraction)
Refer to the ReadMe.txt for more details - extracting security sector, creating a game backup, etc...
You will however require a dual-layer (DVD+DL) burner and discs to proceed with creation of a proper backup. This firmware mod. only works on Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943 DVD-ROM drives - the Hitachi-LG drive requires its own custom firmware.
Use the image (courtesy of llamma.com) below to determine which drive you have:
The downloadable package below includes all the necessary tools to get started. Enjoy!
Thanks for the heads up Clive and all the others who sent it in. :)

THANKSSSSS .. been trying to find this baby everywhere, at last :) Well things can only get better!!
YYYyeepeeeeeee ..Thanks a lot !!!
Heya,, um i have no idea what this does please explain as simple as possible Thankz guys =)Oki
um so if i have a hitachi dvd rom then i cant do the hack right?
If I really understand, this is the hack that everyone was waiting for? Now we can play backed up games isos !?
If I really understand, this is the hack that everyone was waiting for? Now we can play backed up games isos !?
So let me get this straight. You only apply this firmware hack if you want to create backup copies of your games?.But if you were to download the 360 game already riped and patched, you can just play them from your 360 without a firmware crack?.
At 6.No. You NEED this to play backups full stop.Shame I don't have the right drive. Time to hunt ebay for a core with the samsung drive. woo hoo...
#7 Thanks,I have a core system does that mean I will have the samsung drive? Sorry im not at home to check.#7 said...Time to hunt ebay for a core with the samsung drive. woo hoo… So thats why I asked? would this be true? Premium has hitachi and core has samsung
#8 as i understand form llama.com the hitachi dvd rom is the older Hitachi DVD drive which is from the launch boxes with mfg date of Nov 28 2005. And the Samsung one is the newer xboxes.
Its me again ^^i have one drive from september 2005 its a samsung TS-h945 and cant get to boot with it..pc freezes or doesnt detect any drive :/ please help me
uhhh dual-layer discs cost a lot I think !!!
Is it really hard and long for those who did it ?
How can you open your Xbox360 to see which drive you have
@#13, try pushing "eject"!
Nice work , there is one problem i have the Hitachi :( what must i do ???
will i still be able to play online xbox livethank you
sorry i was so exited ,i didnt read the full story(use at own risk)Great job!
Sweetness. One step closer for we that bought it on launch day...Are they working on one for the Hitachi drive? Progress?
will this work on a japanese xbox360?
Japanese xbox 360 !?
So what does this do???Does this allow you to play burnt games???Yes i am a noob D:
#21 exactly, this allow you to play burnt games
how can you open your xbox360
#24... read the question better next time should be a great idea...Chris... here's a tutorial on how to open your Xbox 360...http://www.anandtech.com/syste...
does that mean i have to open my xbox to do this?
#21 exactly, this allow you to play burnt games
Yes, but I think it's only to plug the SATA cable to your PC !
this is sad, i relly thought piracy wouldnt happen this soon, now games prices will rise or at least never drop...
Sorry but I don't really get this.. IF you were to download any game it had to have been done in a specific way to work properly?? Or will ALL of the downloadable games be able to run with this mod?And all of these "security sectors" that everyone is so excited about is ONLY useful if you make backups of your own, right?? *Confused*
Sure, why not....
#27 you're tight...game prices are dropping Ea sports already set all of thier upcmoing sports titles for 40$
got mine today works great i dont care about live at all so if or when ms tries to fight it i dont care cant pay 65 bucks for games
mac genius pc noob here, can anyone create a step by step for how to apply this firmware? i have toshiba drive...directions on read me file are very hard to follow.
i have the right drive, connectecd it to my system, but i'm afraid i cant follow the readme, dont know how to find my dvd drive key?? also hexediting? created the dos disk with relevant needed files...
THIS WRKS but most games released after this mod will require xbox live to download updates for the graphic processor ie PREY and HALO3
So we have to use dual layer discs to burn games???
THANX THIS PACKAGE IS HARD TO COME BY I WAS LOOKING FOR IT EVERYWHERE.
Yes you will need some blank dual layer DVD's and a Dual Layer DVD Burner.
is it possible to mod 2007 xbox 360 with hitachi drive ?
Does this still work?
