Bueno pues acaba de salir una actualización con mejoras muy importantes:
Xtreme firmware 2.0 for TS-H943 Xbox 360
------------------------------------------------------

Here it is, the World first One Firmware Only Xbox 360 backup and extraction firmware modification!
No more reflashing of your drive with different firmwares!!!
I would like to dedicate this firmware to my father who passed away suddenly. He went into debt to purchase my first computer, a commodore 64, which enabled me to learn assembly language.
Please spare a thought or prayer for him around the world, this would make him chuckle. He will be sadly missed.

Features
-----------------

Extraction part of firmware enabled with Enable0800 DVD. ISO included.
In Enable0800 mode, allows drive to function natively under Windows without any hardware conversion/adaptors

Technical details

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 Xtreme20.bin firmware to include your dvd drive key from your original firmware (just copy $4000-4400).
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 Xtreme20.bin"

Extracting Security Sector
---------------------------------------

Ensue SATA cable is plugged from drive to PC.
(This is very important as may be possible in future for console to detect modified firmware due to Inquiry routine enabled for WIndows)

Insert Enable0800 DVD into drive. Wait 5 or so seconds then remove the Enable0800 DVD. Drive now in 0800 mode.
Turn on PC and wait for Windows to boot

Then save hexadecimal display as bin file as SS.bin

Creating a game backup
-----------------------------------
Drive is still in 0800 mode.
Extract Isobuilder.rar
Insert original game disk into drive and wait for windows to detect disk change
Run DVDinfoPro

Ensure your burner will set the booktype of DVD+R DL to DVDRom
Burn with CloneCd and choose the image.dvd file

Turning off 0800 mode of firmware
------------------------------------------------

Either insert game backup (Xbox 360 or Xbox 1) or DVD movie. This de-activates 0800 part of firmware or turn off console.

I will not be doing any more work on the Hitachi as I will leave that to the excellent work of Garyopa,Spectrumforever,Birdie and others.
Still working on Media Stealth firmware and will release when there has been a reaction from Microsoft as until then it is not required!

Por lo que dice las mejoras son que con este firmware el lector sera detectado en windows directamente sin tener que flashearlo con el xtreme0800.bin, de esta manera no tendremos que andar flasheando todo el rato..
Tambien dice que deja de trabajar en el firmware del hitachi ya que Garyopa,Spectrumforever,Birdie and others estan haciendo ya un gran trabajo.
Para terminar idce que esta trabajando en un firmware invisible para cuando Microsoft tenga alguna reacción con el firm actual para poder seguir usandolo sin que M$ se entere

PD: Si mirais al cielo a veces se ven cosas....
Un saludo!!
