How to Flash a BenQ Drive With IXtreme 1.71

If you experience issues while playing games on your Xbox 360 console, one solution is to upgrade its DVD drive's firmware. Xbox 360 consoles can contain DVD drives produced by different manufacturers, depending on the console's generation. If your console contains a drive manufactured by BenQ, you can upgrade it by using a dedicated utility, known as JungleFlasher and loading the iXtreme firmware into it. IXtreme is a collection of firmware files. Users need to use JungleFlasher to actually load the firmware into the drive's ROM.
