How to Fix XBox 360 Wave 3

Keeping your original games stored away for safekeeping is every game aficionado's dream. The only problem is, with each new game that comes out, the possibility of a new video partition format, or "wave," exists. If you have an older version of the modding firmware iXtreme on your Xbox, these new game waves are not always compatible with your iXtreme version. This turns what is supposed to be an enjoyable gaming experience into a frustrating one. Don't fret, as you can patch these games so your Xbox will support the format.

Things You'll Need

DVD-R-DL burner
ISO-formatted Xbox 360 game
