This information was taken from a comment found in another one of the post here. I feel it’s worth mentioning. Apparently, ixtreme 1.6 firmware is making some good progress. Thanks to everyone involved in it.
I’m thinking we should start a Chipin fund for them?
Update for iXtreme 1.6 Firmware
The best deal with 1.6 ixtreme is that you can back up your games directly from your xbox through your sata with the 0800 function integrated. You used to have to flash the 0800 firmware to back up your games, then flash again back to ixtreme to play them. NICE
Stay tuned for further information about the New iXtreme Experience (NiXE) !
1.

7.
[20:12] ix1.6 – One shot boot mode! – allows a one off boot of gamedisc without stealth/partition checks (will still use stealth), use activate.iso disk to activate each time!
8.
[20:15] ix1.6 – Support for easy drive key/version info cmd, same as liteon!
9.
[20:18] ix1.6 has strict stealth/wave checking, one shot boot mode will boot wave(x)!-> The new iXtreme 1.6 won?t load modified Disks with hybrid StealthSectors (e.g. Games with 1.51 modified to work on 1.5). This is because of your own security.
-> There?s an option with what you can turn of/on the StealthCheck on iXtreme, which means you can now load NON-Stealth Games. Though you have to activate this option everytime you want to play a NON-Stealth 360 Game. Activate it with the ?activate.iso? coming with iXtreme. But iXtreme is of course still Stealth.
-> You can now dump your original 360 Games through your 360 Drive with 0800 Dumping. No need for the Kreon Drive anymore!
-> The new iXtreme 1.6 will now support StealthSectors V2, which is probably safer for you. More information about this new feature will follow soon. (!)
-> Drive Speed for games is set to 12x due to less ban-risk.
-> The new iXtreme 1.6 is finished for BenQ?s and right now in testings. For Samsung?s and LiteOn?s it is almost finished and Hitachi is going to be the next.

I would recommend updating to 1.6 from 1.51 (which is the current version). It looks like release day will hopefully be 5-14. Here’s to seeing it soon!
Totally, if you’re running ixtreme 1.51, it’s best to go ahead and update it to the latest, ixtreme 1.6 firmware
