LT 2.0 For Liteon 0225 Drives & BenQ 0800 v2.0 Firmware In For Testing

The first firmwares of the LT 2.0 era are now completed and in for testing. As c4eva mentioned earlier this morning, LT 2.0 is completed for the Liteon 0225 drive present in Slim consoles and the 0800 ripping firmware for BenQ drives in the Phat consoles. In case you can't recall, the LT 2.0 firmware will be compatible with the upcoming XGD3 disc format. In the case of the 0800 firmwares, they will be able to rip the AP25 patches needed to launch certain games.
