I am using this same method I to cannot get a good backup of round 3
1.wxripper load finding nemo then find magic number get number insert game after stopping drive
open wx360 see files then wxripper dump game to game.iso    get that now i  start the merger process and 1.7b has these options when i open the game.iso file i get this is too big iso for wxripper and smaller than xtreme or vice verse not sure then i press some other buttons off and it says something to the fact about md5 nme something and then it finishes after merge then i burn the new file in clone cd and it states put this in a 360 console when loaded
Is there anyway touse build360.bat to merge the files then burn the image or is this not compatible with wxripper i have used this on the samsung and it works everytime
I have 47dj
opa 2.1
usb to sata sabrent newegg.com 21.00
executor adapter 1.1 modchipman.com useles needs more functionality
laptop 1.5 gig
512 megabit

So far I have been unsucsessfull in backing up my only game Project Gotham Racing 3

 My V59 Hitachi is flashed with 8in1. It enters mode b and is recognised by XP no problem.

I am wondering if my problem is my extracted SS.bin, I NEVER get the same MD5 sum as the peeps online from XBOX 360 merger 1.7b.
 
My "MD5 sum" is consistently the same from try to try (every ss.bin I have made) but It is not the one Merger says others are using. Why is my sum different? Is this why all my backup atempts have not worked?

how can I troubleshoot my process? Would like to burn a good one for a change!

Using Verbatim dvd+R DL 2.4 with Samsung SH-H128M burner. WXripper w/kingkong swap disk. No CRC errors. SATA = mobo Nvidia. used Imageburn to write. (have DL of Clone DVD / will install & try that next time)

see any red flags?

First of all, Do you have to connect your xbox 360 to your PC to do the SS thing?
This tutorial here doesn't mention this part where you connect your xbox to the PC?
So can it still be done with one this step?

yes u need your sata from your computer hooked up to your drive(obviously )

But anyways this tut works great. Awesome job Metaphaze!

[babe69]

method work perfectly !!

using the lotr return of the king   with perfect dark zero.

my dvd writer was a mechanical but you can do it by replacing the cover ,to let the plastic button on top of the cover  maintening the disk.

simple and easy

thx

Hey guys, listen ive tried this method and everything seems to run smoothly but when i pop it in my 360 a white screen comes up and it tells me to put this game in an xbox 360 console. can someone tell me what im doing wrong i would really appreciate it

[xboxmunky]

I opened the disk with my hitachi. got the ss.bin, used the formula and didnt get any crc errors, because i used that formula that seemed to work, merged the ss.bin with the game, says it was successful, than i burn with dvd decrypter . sayd it burned succefully than i pop it in my 360 and it says, put this game in an xbox 360 console with a whole bunch of chinese writing . confused what am i doing wrong there are no errors it seemes when im doing this process

[Payback001]

I keep getting wrong volume error and it tell me to put back in the DVD movie. any ideas on what to do. i have bine trying evething to make a 360 backup nothing work . so hopefully someone had this problem and can help.






Thank you

Ok, I am an absolute newb and know very little about this scene as I just got interested 3 days ago when I stepped on a disc and broke it. From what I have learned in the last 3 days I have a feeling that this tutorial is flawed as well as the wxRipper program itself. I am in no way trying to say I know more than anybody,  I am just trying to help us all but if I am wrong then scrap everything I say here...

Every disc has a table of contents(TOC) at the beginning of the disk that tells the drive how big the disk is and what is on it. Xbox 360 games have a fake TOC at the beginning which trick any non xbox 360 drive into thinking its a small disk with some sort of DVD video on it. By swaping the disc in the wxRipper method you are simply grabing the TOC of a large movie and using it to grab the contents of the 360 disc which is why it needs to be bigger than the game. Its like a book, if you use the TOC of a smaller book that has 8 chapters to grab the info of a book that has 12 chapters you will miss the last 4 chapters because your TOC doesn't say they are there. Anyway, some games have 1 or more blank(dummy) sections somewhere in the middle of the disc which are causing read errors for us wxRipper users. Your movie TOC looks something like this

C19408
D1072
C109344
C1783936
J309472
C1783936
J0

but thats just a TOC for your movie and where there are dummy sections on that movie does not mean they are there on your game disc so when you change the first 3 lines in any TOC you may get away with it because your 360 game happens to have a fake movie dummy section at the beginning of the disc so skipping that data may not cause any problems with your game but now in this tutorial you are also skipping sections in the middle of the disc as well. You do know that when you get an error at something like C80886 of line 3 that you must have hit a dummy section of the disc and your tutorial here uses the solution "skip the rest of that section" but what if the dummy section was very small and now you have skipped some game data as well. who knows what this is gonna do to your game, it might boot fine and freeze half way through the game, it may not boot at all, it may get dirty disk errors. I think the only solution is to rewrite wxRipper to handle any read errors and flag that little byte of data as a dummy and attempt to continue where it left off. Again, I want to say that all this is based on what I have read over the last 3 days and I am a complete newb to this so maybe my theory is wrong.

Sorry for the long post and I hope this helps some how.

This is the other way to backup games using isobuster. it tries to copy the data bit by bit, and if an error is found, it fills it with dummy data, then continues to the next bit. This process is MUCH longer because it has to check every bad bit on the disc.

the layout file for wxripper basically tells the drive to skip over the sections where we know that there is no useful data (or fill it with dummy data). Running into new "bad bits" is what causes wxripper to fail and the reason you can edit the layout. You can tell the drive to skip (or dummy) certain sectors.

What would be nice is a program that would rip bit by bit like ISO buster, but "map" the sectors, ultimately creating a layout file that could be shared with others.

thanks  METAPHAZE

i use this layout file to all of my backups so i don't have to wait for errors/do over again


C19408
D1072
C89087
D20257
C1783936
J309536
C1783936

works like a charm and never fails....

i have no idea what im doing wrong i did everything it said and it seems to run smoothly but when i pop in my 360 it says put this game in an xbox 360 console. does anyone else have this problem?

[mjg]

Just bought Fifa 07 and i am trying to make a back up.  I have a 47dj, WXRipper is the program i am using.  I changed my layout file to :

Copy        0              19408
Dummy    19408       1072
Copy        20480       89088
Dummy    109568     20256
Copy        129824     1783936
Jump        19113760  346304
Copy        2260064   1783936
Jump        4044000    0

I used the layout above due to a crc error @ 89088 (could have been 89089).
I got the CRC error 89088 using this layout file below:

C19408
D1072
C91135
D18209
C1783936
J320576
C1783936
J0



So now i put my Fifa07 Xbox 360 game into the drive and at the second to last line i get an error in Wxripper while using the first layout file above:

Error @ 1780736 : Data Error (CRC).

It happens at LBA 2260064.  Then it finishes and says complete.

Has anyone else had this error?  And if so how can i fix it?

P.S. I have not burned the image to a disc yet due to the fact that the discs can be pricy to make a coaster.

Cheers to those that read this.

well i followed this method, using the pioneer111d with original stock firmware (1.23) and verbatim DVDs. i used a lord of the rings DVD ( about 7.4gb) and it worked first time. i tried another method using isobuster and it failed but this guide was spot on. thanks
