December 17, 2006Maximus 360 Firmware Toolbox v3.0 Released
Posted by greg
Wow… Its been awhile. No less, here we have Maximus’ official 360 firmware toolbox with support to flash the dreaded Hitachi-LG v78 drive!
What else is new in v3.0?
- Direct Dumping of GDR3120L drives attached to PC. Also features a new RAW memdump wich is not fooled by the stealth method on currently hacked drives. Even can dump the nasty 78 drives all by software.
- Direct Flashing of Keys, Spoof data and also Direct flash of hacked firmwares over all hitachi drive models attached to the PC. Even flash the 0078FK drives and newer (I hope). So forgot epoxy removal for now.
- Option to do a Smart hack on those “Rolling Code” Firmwares like 78 and surely newer ones
- Option to create multibank fw
- Option to split multibank fw
- Option to Spoof a firmware, you can spoof a Hitachi XX version to a Hitachi YY version, you can even spoof a hitachi Fw to report as a samsung drive.
- Option validate checksum, this will allow detect proper and bad dumps before flashing
There’s also a video tutorial available here.
Hitachi-LG DVD-ROM owners may require the use of Probutus’ Slax v2.0 to switch their drive into Mode-B, thus, allowing you to flash firmwares and dump discs under Windows.

this program allow to play game backups on 78 unit?
this wont even install. runtime error 339 component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
yes, this allows you to play game backups on the Hitachi 78 drives.
It worked for me.
Question: does it have single layer disk support for newest hitachi drives?
