这是原文，翻译见下面，觉得这个应该翻译给大家，这个还是很必要了解的
* What IS “Wave 4″?
什么是wave 4?
A regular, retail Xbox 360 disk is split into several sections or “partitions”. One of these partitions is known as the “video partition”. Before March 2009, this partition simply contained a video that would play if you inserted the disk into a regular DVD player, the video would basically tell you that you were an idiot and need to put it into an Xbox 360 to play it.
按常规来说，零售的xbox 360游戏碟片都是被划分为几个扇区或所谓的分区。而在这些分区之中有一个就是被我们说知的视频分区。在2009 3月以前，这个视频分区只是简单的包含一个视频，这个视频就是当你把xbox360 的游戏碟片插入电脑光驱以后，windows media player 播放出来，告知你这是xbox 360游戏碟片，请插入xbox360主机中，仅仅是这个视频而已。
One of the ways Microsoft can detect you being a dirty, filthy pirate is to scan this video to make sure it matches with what is supposed to be on the disk, so to protect you, the firmware itself does a quick checksum of it and if it doesn’t match with known video data, it wont boot. Every now and then, this video changed, with each change being called a “wave”.
微软检测到你用盗版光盘的一个方法就是通过扫描碟片中的这个视频，如果扫描结果符合，那么你就不会被查到，光驱固件本身执行一次快速校验，如果不匹配，游戏将不会启动。我们将微软时不时对这段视频的修改称作所谓的 wave。
Normally, system updates (dashboard updates) are stored on a different part of the disk, taking up about 8Mb of space, however in November 2008 Microsoft launched the “NXE”, a completely new Dashboard for the system. Along with the new dash came Avatars, making the whole update substantially larger (somewhere in the region of 130MB). This meant the update wouldn’t fit on the disk in the same partition that previous updates were located and so instead the update was placed within the video partition. This was known as “wave 3″ and hit around March 2009.
正常情况下，系统更新都会存放在碟片的不同部分，大约占8MB的空间，在2008年11月，微软发放了一个完全崭新的系统界面，包括了头像小人，此次更新相对要大了很多，大约130MB左右。因为大了，更新文件已经不再合适放在以前的8MB大小更新文件所放的位置。因此，这次130MB的更新文件被存放在视频分区内。这就是我们所了解的所谓的在2009年3月放出的wave3。
As Microsoft now distributes new Dashboard updates in the same partition, each time the 360 gets a software update, we will see a new “wave” a few months later. There was a Dashboard update in August 2009 and that is now being distributed with the latest games. This is known as Wave4. Its identical to Wave3, except the video partition now containsthe August 09 Dash update. The first known game to have this was Cars Race-o-rama.
现在微软即将发放一个新的系统界面在视频分区，每次你的360提示软件更新，这就意味着新的一轮wave即将到来。在2009年8月，伴随大多新游戏而来的夏季更新，就是新的wave4。这次wave4被abgxbox鉴定为wave3，区别在于这次视频分区内包含了09年的夏季更新。第一个wave4游戏是Cars Race-o-rama。
Now, its important to remember that iXtreme was designed to PROTECT you and part of that protection is the “video partition” check. When this video partition changes, the firmware doesn’t know if its just a new “wave” or if its a bad rip and thus opts to not boot it.
现在，重要的是要记住ixtreme以保护你和部分保护视频分区被检测。当视频分区发生改变，光驱固件却不知道这个视频分区是否是新的，或者你的游戏碟片是个错误破解版本，因此光驱固件选择不启动游戏。
When wave 3 hit, iXtreme 1.51 was quickly released to tackle the problem. This was a temporary fix only, the firmware simply does not do the video partition check and thus boots ANY wave, up to wave 4 and beyond.
当wave3出来后，ixtreme1.51及时的解决这个问题。但是1.51仅仅是个暂时措施，光驱固件只是不执行视频分区检测，所以任何wave的游戏，3，4或是4以上都可以启动。
However, this in itself is “unsafe”. If the disk is fine, then you’ll be fine, but if the video partition is in any way corrupt, iXtreme 1.51 will still boot it and thus you could be detected by Microsoft and banned. This also is not helped by the fact that some impatient, idiotic people decided to “patch” Wave3 games with Wave2 data in order to get iXtreme 1.5 or below to boot it. This is a great way to get yourself banned and thus iXtreme 1.6 was created.
但是这个1.51的方法不是很安全的，如果游戏碟片包含所有正确的视频分区内容，那样还好，假若视频分区损坏，1.51依旧会启动游戏，这样你就很有可能被微软所查到并且ban掉。尽管这样还是有些热血冲动青年去给wave3的游戏打补丁，以使wave3的游戏可以在1.5或是以下的固件下玩，ok这是个好机会让微软抓到你！！！在这样的情势下1.6出现了。
ix1.6 will only boot games that have the CORRECT video partition, up to and including wave 3. This means that if you have a Wave 3 game that was patched with a Wave 2 video partition (aka a great big bullseye for Microsoft to target), iXtreme 1.6 will not boot it but ix1.51 will.
ix1.6仅仅启动那些含有正确视频分区信息的游戏，包括wave3的游戏。这就意味着如果你的wave3的游戏打过补丁就不可以在1.6下启动。
* Will I need a new firmware to play Wave 4 games?
需要新的固件来玩wave4的游戏么？
IF you are on iXtreme 1.5 or below, Wave3 games will not boot for you and thus Wave4 games will not either. In this case, YES you need to update your firmware!
IF you are on iXtreme 1.51, then ANY wave will boot fine, including Wave4 however you must be EXTRA careful as you are not protected against corrupt or incorrect video partitions. This is one of the many reasons to always use abgx360(info). If a game is fully verified, playing it on iXtreme 1.51 is just as safe as playing it on iXtreme 1.6 – this includes Wave4 games.
如果你是ix1.5或是以下固件，wave3和wave4的游戏都不会启动。在这种情况，你需要更新你的光驱固件。如果你是ix1.51，那么所有的wave游戏都可以被启动，当然wave4也是可以的。但是xd你得额外小心了，因为如果你的游戏盘的视频分区错误或是不正确，那你是完全不被保护的。这也就是为什么我们需要abgxbox来校验游戏的原因。如果视频分区正确无误，那么你将和1.6一样安全。
IF you are on iXtreme 1.6, you can ALSO play Wave 4 and above games, however you need to use a special activation disk to do so. This was added to the firmware specifically for this eventuality – the disk activates “one-shot-boot” mode, essentially it allows iX1.6 to boot any game you insert into the drive, even if its not properly stealthed. You simply insert the disk into the drive, let it spin up (it will say “play DVD”), then swap in your Wave4 game. You will need to do this each time you want to play a Wave 4 (or above) game. Don’t worry, if the game has all the necessary stealth data, then iX1.6 will still use it, so if you boot a VERIFIED Wave4 game using this method, you should be just as safe as you were booting a verified wave 3 game.
The disk is available here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5ed5xr and needs to be burned to a DUAL LAYER disk, but entirely on the first layer (do not set a layerbreak and when imgburn prompts, tell it to burn to the first layer only).
如果你是ix1.6固件，一样你可以玩wave4或是wave4以上的游戏，不过前提是你需要一个引导盘。这个引导盘就是为了像wave4这样的意外所准备的，引导盘的一键启动模式允许ix1.6启动任何插入光驱的游戏，即使这个游戏没有加入安全信息。你说需要做的仅仅是先放入引导盘，当提示play dvd时调换到你想要玩的游戏即可。每次你如果想要玩wave4的游戏都需要这么做。别担心，如果你游戏有全部必要的安全信息，ix1.6会正常使用这个碟片，如果你启动一校验过的wave4游戏，那么你就会如玩wave3的游戏一样安全，引导盘下载地址：http://www.sendspace.com/file/5ed5xr 这张引导盘需要被刻录在d9碟片上，但其实全部会刻在第一个层面上（不要设置分层点，当imgburn提示你的时候，只选择第一个分层就可以了）。
A new iXtreme firmware will eventually be released with strict wave4 support (no activation disk needed), however some time needs to pass before this happens. Although Cars: Race-o-Rama was the first game to appear in the wild with Wave 4 video, it was not necessarily the first game to be pressed with it. Also, during a wave transition there are often a few exceptions to the process which also need to be known about. There will be no timeframe for this, so do not ask.
严格支持wave4 ix固件可能会很快放出，这样就不再需要引导盘了，不管如何在这之前还是需要一些时间的。尽管 Cars: Race-o-Rama是第一个已经知道的wave4的游戏，但不意味着它就是第一个wave4的游戏。可能在wave的转换过程中有一些特别例子，但是知道总比不知道好。
* What about abgx360? Will that need to be updated?
abgx360会更新么？
abgx360 v1.0.1 (latest as of time of writing) does not recognise a “wave 4″ image and will report a POSSIBLE corrupt/bad PFI/Video partition, however the program is actually still completely compatible with Wave 4 games. Once a Wave4 title is verified, abgx360 will still download the .ini from the database and fully check out the image. If the image matches and the game is verified, then it has also passed the stealth checks and thus it is as safe to play as any wave3 or wave2 game.
abgx360 1.0.1不会识别wave4游戏，会把wave4的游戏误认为pfi或是视频分区有损，但是abgx360 1.0.1还是完全兼容wave4的游戏。以后一旦wave4的游戏被确定，abgx360 将会下载新的.ini文件来完全校验游戏镜像。如果游戏镜像匹配游戏，那么依旧会通过安全检查，因此将会如玩wave2和wave3一样安全。
abgx360 v1.0.2 will be released with full Wave4 recognition in a similar manner to the new iXtreme; that is once the transition date is known and any exceptions are noted.
abgx360 1.0.2将会被放出以全面识别wave4，以后wave4被确定，任何意外都会被知道的。
翻译了这些，可能有误，请谅解，以前自己对wave这一东西也不是很了解，这次终于明白了，希望大家看了也会有帮助。. |
