Xbox 360 LT+ Firmware Flashing Experience At Game Source
By now you’re eagerly waiting to know whether the
LT+ firmware flashing was successful at Game Source. I’m sad to say that it was not. Nope. Still can’t play AP 2.5 games. Why?
Game Source at Bashundhara is one of the most knowledgeable gaming shops, at least according to me. SOF was unsuccessful in flashing my Xbox 360′s firmware with LT+. But they couldn’t provide a reason.
However, I spent over 4 hours at Game Source (along with fellow Gamersworldbd reader Rakin, more on that later) and none of our consoles booted Fable 3. It didn’t show the usual “Disc Unreadable Error”, but, the game got stuck in a black screen. Ejecting the DVD drive had no effect and the console couldn’t be turned off either – only solution was to yank the power cord.
So, what went wrong? I can attest that the latest LT+ firmware indeed does work. But Game Source has been using an older version of JungleFlasher, namely v1.0.75. Only the latest v1.0.76b works with Lite-On drives and LT+.
The latest v.1.0.76b didn’t work on Game Source’s Windows XP computer. We tried hours in troubleshooting the problem, but in the end decided that Windows 7 would be best.
So, tomorrow we’ll try again from scratch and keep you guys posted. Rest assured, Gamersworldbd is closely collaborating with Game Source in bringing LT+ firmware in Bangladesh market. Usual charge for firmware flashing is Tk 1,300 at Game Source, but if you mention Gamersworldbd you may be able to get a discount.
Also, my Xbox 360 is fine – it plays pre-Ap 2.5 games just okay, even though Fable 3 hung up with a black screen.
And also, it was a pleasant surprise to meet other Gamersworldbd readers at Game Source, namely Rakin who will go ahead tomorrow and try it from scratch once again.
Thanks guys and will keep you posted!
