LT+ Xbox 360 Slim (Drive 9504) Released

What's the purpose of flashing the drives firmware?

Just curious.
 
The purpose of flashing the drives firmware is to play "backed up games".

Definition of a "backed up game" is one that is not legal, and has been pirated.

Backed up game could mean just that, a game I backed up while I store my originals in a safe place to prevent damage.

Makes sense - don't want to damage the originals. They're so expensive.

You can also run homebrew stuff if your on a real old version of the dash and jtag your system.
 
No, I actually downloaded the tut but a quick browse did not tell me what the intended purpose of it was. Bad day or PMS?

They don't provide a purpose ;) It's meant for "development usage", not to play so-called backups. I do, however, use it to play backup copies of games which are expensive. All I do is buy a new game, leave it in its box and download an ISO, burn it and I have a copy in perfect condition and a backup.

Just couldn't help throwing in a "google broken again joke" :)

anyway its great to see that I can run my backups on the slim if I owned one. But the new update thats being trailed I think is gonna result in another ban wave.

NB GUYS WHEN THE UPDATE COMES OUT DONT DOWNLOAD IT DAY 1, WAIT ABOUT 3 DAYS AND THAN GOOGLE TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS BANNED.
 
The new beta update flashes your drive to a new firmware (v0272) to support M$'s new disk format. It's causing havoc and will continue to do so.
