HD-DVD Xbox 360 drive firmware

[Silasqwerty]

Hello! I’ve been using MakeMKV for a fair while now, and I recently got an Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive and some movies to play around with it. I’ve been running into an issue playing a set of discs, and before posting about it here I wanted to be sure my drive was on the latest firmware first. I don’t have an actual Xbox 360 so I can’t practically update it the intended way, and the latest firmware I found on the wayback machine says it’s from 2007, but I’m seeing news articles saying the latest firmware update was in 2008. Since I got the drive on eBay, the seller may have updated it already so I want to find out what the last firmware update is before I worry too much about trying to update it.

When you start MakeMKV, there should be some information about your drive in the Info window. It should include the actual model and firmware date. What does it say there?
