alright i'm having problem detecting what my 360 drive is i was on 360 mods and followed the guide there and it said that i either have a BenQ/ Phillips/ LiteON i
i know that the phillips liteon is unflashable at the moment but how do i know if i have a liteon or a benq?

I'm unsure if there is any difference in tray design between them now like there used to be so short of opening the machine and looking at the internals I am unsure :-(

When was the machine made ? I believe those made after june 08 have the liteon drive. . .

There is supposed to be some progress on the Liteon drive (you can read it on xbox scene..) its still gonna take a long time but dumping the firmware maybe isn't that far off, once you can dump the firm of the Liteon you can replace the drive for a hackable one. or wait for the hacked Liteon firmware but don't expect that one soon. lucky I have a Benq I use cheap Ritek media and it works flawless.

If it says "Games for Windows Live" on the package, you get achievements, but some games only says "Games for Windows" which doesnt give achievements.

i dont think there is any "live" program as such you are describing though.

@MiNiMeReaL:

Like Snuffsis said, you can get achievements only if you're playing some 'Games for Windows' games. If you are playing games with achievements (like The Club, Kane and Lynch, Halo 2) you can hit the 'Home' key and bring up the guide. If you aren't required to sign into your GT in the game, you can't see it.

Otherwise, there's no program to look at stats and crap on PC.

I have a question.
My brother flashed my xbox 360 about 10 months ago and I used my xbox playing on xbox live without being banned.

I have not connected to live since and Im going to start playing on live again. Am I going to get banned? I have a samsung drive and I don't remember what firmware my brother flashed it with.

as long as u get the games from here or other torrent sites (properly patched ones). You will also need the latest firmware if you havnt got it already

There is only one way to find out if you have been banned and that is to connect to live.

Ask you brother what firmware he used and hopefully he flashed it with ixtreme 1.4 because that is the newest firmware, if he hasn't you should flash this as soon as possible and then connect to live.

I just bought a 360 and tried using the Media Center function on it yesterday, works fine with music etc. but most divx movies cannot be played, so my question is wheter there are any ways to install additional codecs or will I have to reencode  movies if I want to play them on the Xbox.

PS My 360 is not flashed or similary and I dont think I want to since I like Xbox Live

I made this mistake too when I bought my 360. DON'T use Media Center! Instead use Windows Media Player and go to "media sharing" and let your xbox 360 be allowed to play the files. Then just add them into the library and they will show up when you go to "videos" on the Xbox 360 dashboard.

Or just download TVersity, which is far superior.

I tried using this since it can transcode but the only guides I could find refered to WLAN and I want to use my regular LAN not wireless, I cant get it to appear on the Xbox As a media source.
Does it only work with wireless or have I simply screwed something up.

make sure upnp is enabled and its plain sailing.
