*** MOST OF THE WORK IS FROM garyOPA, even most of this Readme File ***

WHAT IS NEW: Change booting order to counter-attack the fake ss that
appears to be on some EA games.

I have not tried it since here on America we dont have yet any of this
games. In the worst case will not harm your box.

**If your drive is flashed USE A RESTORE FIRST**
(Use the restore included on this package)


FEATURES (my contribution on this release):

* Removed old media detection and replaced with better media detection
(media detection ver 2) from Geremia.
* Incorporates Maximus Firmware Stealth (Full Firmware Stealth)
* Added support for 59b firmware (what a stupid fw)
* Not yet Media Stealth... I have not heard news on this topic


Three Commands (for flashing use only one: Flash16s or Flash23s, no both):

FLASH23S.BAT: Flashes your drive with 2.3 Fw Stealth (Media Detect 2,
F900 core and Firwmare Stealth

FLASH16S.BAT: Flashes your drive with 1.5 Fw Stealth (Media Detect 2,
and Firwmare Stealth, (NO F900 Core)

RESTORE.BAT: Return your drive to original State, even if you have
firmware stealth in your drive


*RECOMENDATION: If you have flashed your drive in the past use RESTORE
first. If it is a brand new drive use directly the Flash command you
like. If you dont plan to use your drive to dump games use the
flash16s.bat


* ALL NEW XTREME V2.3 FIRMWARE FOR ALL BUILDS OF THE HITACHI DRIVES!

- Now includes "Security Sector Extraction" for all Hitachi Drives

- Included media detection 2 from Geremia and Maximus Firmware
Stealth, this release just supports SS Extraction within Windows
without the need to re-flash your drive back and forth between
PLAY & RIP!
