WARNING: BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FOLLOWING, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS PROCESS CAN POSSIBLY GET YOU BANNED FROM XBOX LIVE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

With the new release of wave 4 games such as COD: MW2, Assassins Creed 2 and GTA: Episodes from Liberty City, I got pretty annoyed when I found out that I couldn't play them. If you really want to be able to play them there is a process you can do for FREE without having to update your iXtreme firmware to 1.61.

First, download Activate.iso here: http://rapidshare.com/files/296885625/activate.iso.rar

1. http://www.imgburn.com/ (Leave the default settings untouched or restore to factory defaults).

2. Right-click Activate.iso and then select "Burn using ImgBurn".

3. Click the Write button at the bottom left.

4. Proceed/continue with burning the image onto an 8.5GB DVD+R DL even though it can fit onto other smaller discs.

5. Sway from the norm and burn only on 1 layer.

6. When the disc has been written and then ready to finalize, let it finalize throughout the entire process. This is going to take a while...

7. Put the burnt disc into 360, press A on controller to Play DVD. Eject disc and then put in a Wave 4 game or a non-stealthed game. Press A again to launch game.

Please note you can press A to play the dvd however this is not needed you can put the activate.iso and when you see the play dvd eject it and put the regular disc in this makes it faster and easier / less traceable.

Note: If you get stuck at 99% during finalization, it is normal. Your burner is burning data onto every single empty sector of your DVD+R DL disc. It will take the same amount of time as burning a 7.29GB image.
