I lost the changelog due to some weird pc disaster, but since then has been:
Full iXtreme 1.2 compatible stealth checking
Batch stealth checking
Batch CRC generation
Better region detection
and probably lots more
Thanks to all the people who have helped with this release.

You CANNOT build an xbox 360 iso from a folder and have it boot. There is extra security on the disc we have not yet defeated. Hopefully sometime in the future though

1) can discuss backup made from original (not from another backup on your PC)
2) Since it requires a SS made by a samsung/Kreon drive, you can just redo a complete backup from the original (XBCr or schtrom) rather than a complex multi step that no one with the original and samsung/kreon would go through.
3) ^^ for the same reason, you can discuss all you want how to test if all stealth component are present and good (on the assumption they all come from the same original disc anyway), but not how to patch stealth items in an image. Just redo it from the original with your samsung/Kreon if test indicate a problem.
@Neo_9000uk
No discussion on online database (just like for ss merger), if all components come from your orignal disc then you just have to test they are good, the are no chances they are no coming from another game. Will not redo the discussion, it was done in Xdvdmulleter Beta 8.

I can put in my backup (of my own Original) in my PC (Pioneer DVR-111D drive) and use DVD Mulleter 9 to check if at has been stealth(ed) properly or not, Correct?
-soso: Just wanted to confirm with you first - I Can't discuss injecting stealth-patch into my backup image (which is not stealth properly) using DVD Mulleter 9 here in these forums, is that Correct?
Thanks!

I've only tried 2 different discs...I stopped testing it out because I was sick of rebooting my PC. But I tried both of them in v8 and they both worked.
Seems there is some kind of bug in the dvdr code somewhere. Im planning on a complete rewrite of that for next release, to make it nicer, more reliable, and rip originals. Dont hold your breath though, its quite a big job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
As for your exact problem though, all i can say is.. it works for me, so I have no idea what might be wrong. Perhaps something else is accessing the drive? Sadly I just today installed windows vista 64bit, so I cant even list drives at the moment to try and work it out.

This bug, and that of the infinite loop in autofix are both known about. When i can duplicate them (and potentially one more bug..) I'll release beta 9.3
Oh, and apologies for forgetting 9.2 source, by the time i thought about it it wouldnt compile any more, 9.3 will have it.

on the rules again,
1) no discussion of reinjecting components in existing image (no backup of backup), use mulleter to define if the image is good, if not redo from the original with a samsung or Kreon drive and XBCr/Schtrom.
2) no discussion of online database.
thks all for your understanding

it doesnt work for X360 games anyway
also, 360 games wont boot from DVD5
after you have backed up your legally owned 360 game you can edit the iso by removing/replacing files
the only reason i can see to this is to replace warnings or ads with blank movies so it gets to the main menu faster
Post by: badsheepy on June 28, 2007, 06:48:00 PM
QUOTE(gimpydingo @ Jun 28 2007, 08:41 PM)
So I read that you cannot create a DVD5 360 game from a folder.
You cant create a 360 iso from ANYTHING but an original disk atm. There are certain sectors which need to be present, and we dont know which ones they are.
Also: 9.5.x has a bug whereby i began checking for zeroed padding, not expecting any retail games to have any.. and they somewhat perplexingly do. 9.6 will most likely be out by the time you read this to fix that exact problem.

Is it ok to use the 9.5 version xboxdvd.dll in the new 9.7 version as the 9.7 version xboxdvd.dll after checksumming video fails to an unhandled exception and stops at step 85 in the log ( the next step would be checking ss file exists when looking at the succesful log.)

I dont think it would work. I am assuming you only get the error when loading games from dvdr? I cant reproduce it, although others cant NOT reproduce it, so its somewhat hard to fix.
Also, beta 9.7 is out which fixes 64 bit dvd loading and unrarring etc, and some other things.
Post by: kinvig on July 03, 2007, 11:19:00 AM
I did try using the xboxdvd.dll from the 9.5 version and can confirm it does work in the 9.7 version, ( overwriting after backing it up ) for my system, winxp sp2 with .net framework 3.0.
What are the functional differences between the versions ie does it detect/check anything different from the 64 bit variant, would i be missing out on extra features ?

View ISO Details
Load From DVDR (I have the copy in the kreon drive and is detected in windows)
Load disk (Loads successfully)
Click next and it checks video and then i get this error
Microsoft.NET Framwork
Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you quick, the application will close.
I got to the same spot after doing windows updates and i did see framework in there and i get the same error except the title was DVDMulleter instead of microsoft framework. I have checked the original ISO with mulleter and everything checks out so i imagine the DVD will as well. Only thing is that when i try to check the DVD after its burned with the game file it gives the error still and then the DVD drive locks up and wont work until i restart my computer as i have seen another person had this same issue with neeing to restart.
I tried burning a few copies with all the same errors. I wil say this though (not sure if it makes a difference or not) when i tried to play the game in the console it read for a long time and got to the beginning screen of gears of war where it says "Online experience may change" or something like that. After that the screen goes blank.
think it could be the Media im using? They are the Dynex brand from Best Buy. So-so suggested i dl a different version of mulleter but even so the game would not play in the console....Im thinking it MIGHT be the media since the ISO checks out with mulleter. Your thoughts?

I'm having the exact same problem as you, but I'm using Verbatim media. I've ripped my originals, checked iso with mulleter, and they pass. I then burn to disc, they work under Hitachi iXtreme 1.2 rev2. If I try those same discs under the dvdr option in mulleter, I get the exception error and have to reboot to eject.

Dynex are some of the cheapest and worst media that ive found
if you arent using a top-notch DL burner, then i suggest getting Verbatim and no other
If you ARE using a top quality burner, then i suggest Verbatim, Memorex, TDK, or Fuji

I couldn't find version 9.5, so I didn't get to test it. But I did test the XboxDVD.dll a little bit between these versions:
9.6/9.7 both of these apps failed with all 3 dll's (the 9.0 dll crashes due to new features not being implemented yet).
9.0 works with all 3 dll's. So the error is with a totally NEW feature and has nothing to do with any existing rutines that were modified since 9.0. This should help you narrow down the cause of this issue a bit.

CLR error: 80004005

This shouldn't have to do with having .net framework installed on my machine since I've had it installed now for quite a while and haven't run into any programs that need it. Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks

Is this software that buggy? I've tried it on XP and Vista with the same result. At the end of the log.txt file it says "Error reading from specified disc ... Giving up". Great!
What am I doing wrong? I extracted the files to the desktop and ran the program. Do I have to do something else, or install it somewhere else?
Last question, any other way to check if backups are ixtreme compatible other than using this software?
Help! TIA!

I pm'd badsheepy with a tool that shows you only the changes that were made in the source code to try help track it down, but I haven't spent much time looking it over myself since I only have 9.0 and 9.7 source code. Hopefully someone else who has trouble with 9.6/9.7 can confirm that 9.5 works; and hopefully badsheepy has something closer to 9.5 source code so that he can compare it with 9.7 as that would greatly reduce the amount of code to look over (or even 9.6 source code would help).
Maybe 9.5 should be re-uploaded? I just checked one that was claiming it was 9.5.3 but the files were md5'd as 9.6.

Not sure if this is relevant but the drive which is capable of reading the disk has the ability to read disk control blocks, whereas the other 2 drives which don't read the disk haven't.

i want to make it clear that i own the originals and i'm trying to backup them up for xbox1 usage
so i've connected the pc and the xbox1 through ftp, with the help of craxtion, used the disc ripper feature and then the create iso feature and before creating the iso, craxtion automatically patched the xbe's.
then after the iso was created by craxtion i tried to view it's details with xdvdmulleter, to see if something was wrong, i know it wouldn't have video partition, security sectors or stealth, but i wanted to check if it didn't have any errors.
and it did show an error which was "image appears to be a peculiar size"
so i was wondering if badsheepy or someone else could tell me if anything is wrong with my iso

use craxtion and burn it. your asking in the 360 section, aka your only going to see info thats going to confuse you. the xbox1 doesn't need stealth or any of that. you just use craxtion, create your iso, and burn it. nothing else to do.
personally, i would say put a bigger harddrive in your xbox and rip your games directly to that with HDDloader.
make future posts about xbox1 backups to be played on xbox 1 in the xbox1 section. NOT this thread

personally, i would say put a bigger harddrive in your xbox and rip your games directly to that with HDDloader.
make future posts about xbox1 backups to be played on xbox 1 in the xbox1 section. NOT this thread
(to everyone else, sorry for pulling the thread off topic)
i understand what you're saying but since the problem was with this tool, i asked here, sorry
