Xbox360 SS Merger v1.4-- Posted by XanTium on May 24 00:23 EST
HellDoc released a new version of Xbox360 SS Merger(info) - a GUI tool that allows you to easily insert the Security Sectors (SS) on raw dumps made both the 'wxRipper(info)'-way (hot-swap with opened PC DVD drive and wxRipper software) and the 'xtreme'-way (with original Xbox 360 DVD drive on PC and special bios).
What's new/fixed:
* ISO type autodetection has been really improved.
* ISO type detection is now automatic when you select an ISO.
* ISO type detection will tell you how the detection has been made (blanked video partion found, original video partion found, etc...)
* MD5 of current ISOs SS is displayed + MD5 of SS file.
* SS file is now validated to minimize user error.
* I made some change to the GUI but nothing major.
* Added merge in the file menu.
* Note1: Instruction are still the same.

Ive just got this and loaded my first iso into it. It was topspin that i ripped from my original using WxRipper but merger says "it looks like an extreme way made iso (no video portion)". But great work on the MD5 implimentation  

[boza111]

i like the md5 function . Nice!
But i got a little suggestion
It would be good if you make a MD5 library in your app which links the MD5 hash to what game (and region it is).
so e.g
ISO RAW DUMPXXXXXXXXXXX= Perfect Dark Zero Pal UK
SSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX= Perfect Dark Zero PAl UK

They match . and therefore you can merge the SS.
Maybe you should also in-clude little pics of the game in the library

[jonwoo1982]

so do the md5 of the isos SS file need to match the ss.bin??

i have wasted 10 disks trying to get my games to work

[helldoc]

Hmmmmmmm...... i do like this idea... it would really help with autodetection as it would check the iso type on the server....
I'll have a look at this tonight

Hmmmm. ive now tried 2 games with this new merger. Graw and Top spin, both ripped from my originals using WxRipper. Top spin detected wrong as it said it was an extreme rip and graw detected correctly but........ both ISO's gave the same MD5 code C99A74C555371A433D121F551D6C6398 . Is that how it should be?? i would have thought they would have completely differant codes.

[helldoc]

Both iso report the same MD5 as the original MD5 as been blanked out by WxRipper.

[d4g]

see how u said the ss is blanked by wxripper....is there anyway to find out which md5 goes with the iso..
i loaded an iso.... and it was blank the md5.....
so there is no way of detecting which ss would go with it

[moto_noob]

i have a question. can u use dvdinfo to make the ss with hotswap?

I dont think so no. I may be wrong but i think the reason is because a normal PC dvd rom can not read the SS from a gamedisc, It has to be read from the 360's drive  would be nice though.

Im currently looking for XBOX SS Merger 1.5o beta tester (o is for online )
 
Heres 1.5o bugfix/new stuff :
- Online iso validation + setting detection
- Online SS validation
- Nice interface.
 
Beta testers should have access to unpatched iso and should be able to patch them succesfully ( to add the settings, iso and ss informations to the database )
 
Interested person should send an email to [email protected] .

Thx

Maybe you should start a SS 1.50 merger beta topic . That way you will get more beta testers
I would test it myself , but same as you i dont have a x360 yet .
