DAE.bin Updated on XBL with Current x360 Dashboard

We reported earlier that Microsoft might be about to drop the hammer and it seems that they have indeed been working behind the scenes in an attempt to stop users from booting backups on the current dash. Will the hammer strike or will this be Microsoft's "ACE" card against the XBox scene? Check out the quote below from abgx360.net:

DAE.bin is being silently updated through Xbox Live with an additional challenge table! This happens on the current public dashboard version 2.0.13604.0 and there is no confirmation dialog or any known means to prevent it besides disconnecting your console from the internet.

If your DAE.bin has already been silently updated, AP25 backups that are patched with current AP25 replay data will fail the normal AP25 challenges outright! Note that all XGD3 games use AP25.

Use your originals if you want to play on Xbox Live.

c4eva Speaks On The dae.bin Issue

Via: http://c4evaspeaks.com/

First and foremost, a warning — at this current time it is advised that you stay offline and avoid playing any AP2.5/XGD3 backups. It has been confirmed by the team that the dae.bin is now being silently updated on all LIVE-connected boxes.

This update is not being deployed via a System Update or Title Update, but rather occurs in the background without any visual indication or prompt to the user. As such, there is no means by which it can be canceled or avoided, other than not connecting to LIVE. If you’ve connected to LIVE in the past 24 hours, your system has likely already been updated with a changed dae.bin.

All AP2.5/XGD3 backups that contain the now older AP25 replay data will fail the system’s AP2.5 challenges and indeed flag your system (the flagging has also been confirmed by the team).

Like our news a few days ago, the dae.bin is now being changed by way of an appended challenge table in the same manner on current retail dashes (13604) as it is on the preview dash (14686), however the content of the challenge tables differ. The team has determined that the appended challenge table appears to be unique per console and contains identifying information. This means that everyone’s dae.bin is different, and can potentially be traced back to your specific console. Therefore, sharing your dae.bin with others is not advisable.

More info to come.

We will keep you updated....

Xk3y Vs DAE.bin - Defeated in 36 hours

Uploaded by OzModChips on Nov 18, 2011

Expect an update in the next few days.

It's doubtful that disk profiling data will be available for all the old XGD2/AP25 games at release, shortly after is my guess. All the XGD3 games I have looked at have the same profile and that's done now (there will be more in the future no doubt).

The good news is:
-You only have to profile a disk once
-Tools will be available in the coming weeks that will let you do this yourselves
-AP26 is finally handled correctly (CFW couldn't deal with it correctly either)
