Patching 360 Games to play on older FW

I have 2 360 units. One is a banned machine which has a pretty old firmware on it. I haven't used it much recently but having been reading on a few forums i've read that if you want to play fairly recent backups, you need to patch the game.

I'm fine with that, and have the Xbox 360 wave 3 patch for old firmware software but do I patch ALL new games? Is there a list that states what games require patching and those that don't?

If I just patch every game, will it bork the ones that didn't require patching?

That is all.....

Not all new games are wave 3 that I know of, but the majority are. Just look for a wave 3 compatibilty list or something. Or just upgrade to 1.6x, not hard.

Just an update on this.

Despite what EVERY cunt out there likes to have you believe, you don't need iXtreme 1.5/1.6 to play Wave 3 games.

Once I had offline updated my 360 to NXE, I'm able to play Wave 3 on my 2 year old Xtreme 5.2 FW without patching the backup.

You ONLY have to update if you're using stealth FW (iXtreme 1.0 onwards), and if you have a banned console why the fuck would you do that....
