Just checked my backup of UFC that I made a few days ago and check with abgx then. Didnt detect and corruption now and the crc is different then the ones listed.

So im guessing the problem is only for NTSC versions.

Why is everyone saying "stop crying/quit bitching"? I have yet to see a post of whining in this thread.

I back-up my games and verify using ABGX360, it autofixed red faction with "corrupted" DMI.

No big deal, we all know the risks.

Edit: Thanks for all those that have contributed to ABGX and Mulleter, its great software to have. regardless of hiccups.

I think I anticipated that, but, don't have the slightest doubt will happen

Damn it

At least it won't happen again though!

While this news will probably help a lot of people - it flat out answers one of the most asked questions - that no one is allowed to answer, right on the front page of the site.

abgx doesn't have YOUR dmi in their database, so abgx 1.0.1 goes "Ah man, I haven't seen this before!" and automatically hooks you up with a new one from the dmi they have in their database

Wow, who even mentioned piracy? Some people are paranoid about making backups and will run it through ABGX. Nobody knew it was going to corrupt stuff. I honestly run everything through ABGX, although I didn't have it set to auto correct. Seriously, nobody should be bitching from either end (pirates vs. legit). It's a glitch that could cause a possible ban. Everyone should know.

Actually, I knew it was going to corrupt ISOs. It happened before with another database, twice I think. The DB is only as good as the info on it. PUt up bad SS/DMI/PFI, it'll then be fed down as people "AutoFix". The maintainers of teh DB need to have verified people uploading verified rip info. (Maybe they do now, not sure.)

I always rip my own games from my kreon drive,stealth check w/ all tools, But always disregard "doesn't match DB". Never had a problem. (Except when modded w/ chip on 1st Xbox, 3 years ago)

wow. this sucks. i autofixed UFC and Red Faction. My copy of UFC seems to be fine, i guess it depends on the release. I guess it doesnt even matter at this point, I have played hours of Red Faction. I think if i do fix the DMI on it wont it just be more obvious since my copy of Red Faction will have two different DMI's ? Atleast thats how i think M$ might look at it. Can someone correct me if im wrong ?

can someone help me??? i have a sammy with IX 1.6 0800 , i have the ORIGINAL of UFC and used XBC to creat a backup of my game, all went fine, but when i check it with abgx this is the output

Checking SS
SS looks valid

Checking DMI
DMI looks valid

Checking PFI
PFI CRC = 5A4BCBD2
PFI does not match known data (could be corrupt or a new wave not seen before)
Displaying suspicious PFI in hex and ascii:

OFFSET 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
0x0000 01 02 31 10 00 03 00 00 00 FB FF FF 00 03 87 5F 1 . ...³ ▀. _
0x0010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
*

Video partition found
Video volume space size and size of PFI data area do not match!
Cannot check padding due to invalid or uncertain PFI/Video
Video CRC = 27535283 (V0 & V1 skipped due to non-matching or absent PFI)
Video partition does not match known data but neither did PFI

Stealth status is uncertain

Verifying this game against the online database...
One or more CRC requirements for Verification were not met, cannot continue
Verification failed

what should i do ? as i said i made my own backup !!!

It's better to fix a bad rip than it is to keep using it.

lol, it's just a quote from abgx360.net, should they censor it?? so stop whining bout your backup from a backup sh...

This and abgx360 has little to do with piracy.
Why? Because even if you use your own equipment you'll never know that you got a good rip. There could be AnyDVD corruption, you could have errors due to bad ram or you could be affected by this new Sata2USB corruption.
Therefore it is always a good idea to crosscheck with other people's rips.

The problem in this case is that the stealth project has started to cut corners due to a lack of contributors. In the earlier days, two independent rips were required to verify a game. Today, "trusted" uploaders are allowed to rip a game twice and verify it this way.

I say "trusted" in quotes because this is what happened: on of those uploaders used a Sata2USB tool for connecting the drive. Apparently this resulted in a wrong, corrupted DMI. Of course he could not know about this corruption but it demonstrates a problem that should have been obvious to the stealth team:
having only rips from one source (even when ripped twice) is not a good way to verify a game

Unfortunately when I pointed this out after finding out about the switch, I was ridiculed and told that everything is fine. Right...

i patched Red Faction yesterday & adjusted angle 359.

my DMI is not the above mentioned 1A5575DDA1D2466C - so i guess its ok
the correct DMI is not mentioned in the main article, anyone know it?

Hey we should all be happy here, now at lease xboxscene can now discuss dmi ss and the like
with each other that'll go alongside the checks that ABGX do.

ALL GOOD NEWS
