XDVDMulleter Beta 5 Fixed  *updated*
Posted by XanTium | February 12 15:18 EST
 
Badsheepy released a new version of XDVDMulleter(info), an ISO extraction/creation/rebuilding tool for Xbox and Xbox360 discs with several features making it useful for more precise dumps as required by xtreme firmwares.

What's new/fixed:
* Added: Create ISO direct from FTP - With boost mode if supported (Maybe only Avalaunch(info)?)
* Added: Create ISO from Folders within multi game ISOs
* Added: ISO has optional end padding for bad media
* Fixed: Crosslinked file checker now works properly
* Fixed: ISOs are now more correct size
* Fixed: Zero length files handled properly
* Misc bugfixes i have forgotten about

!Update! BETA 5 (fixed edition) released:
This fixes a really stupid bug I should have found before releasing but didn't :P

I had reseved a post here for future use, and in case some members started discussion on backup of backup again.
Plse be nice to our friend Badsheepy who did an exceptional soft for us, I see he already indicated to be careful on this subject, and some seems to ignore it.

QUOTE(taken from: Posting Rules And No Piracy Policy, Plse Read First. Posted  @ top of the section)

Lets all remember that we do not allow discussion at XS on doing multiple backups or a backup from another backup. We expect all backup processes to start with the original disk. The files on your Xbox 1 HD are a backup and starting the construction of another backup from them is not allowed as the end results would be multiple backups (one on your Xbox 1 HDisk and one for your X360).

Starting with the original, you can put it in the XBOX 1 DVD and start Craxtion (qwix or any other) to rip it straight on you PC HDisk (or use your X360 tools: Drive and XBCr) and continue the process from there with XDVDMUlleter (or similar).

We accept discussion on this process or any other process that brings you from your original to that original and ONE backup (including the one on the Xbox 1 HDisk).


Note that an ISO that you keep on your PC hardrive is also a backup, start with the original plse.

thank you for your understanding,

rgds,soso

thanks for the new release, altho looking for crosslinked files is broken.
edit: building iso from folder doesn't work (folder on pc).
CODE
w XBoxISO.FSFileSystemSource.GetISOType()
   w XDVDMulleter.RebuildOptions.RebuildOptions_SetActive(Object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
   w System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
   w Wizard.UI.WizardPage.OnSetActive(CancelEventArgs e)

Anyone have any luck converting an original image made for XBOX 1 into something that'll work on the 360?  I've got a backup image of Black made for the original Xbox and am having trouble converting it to a working 360 image.  The game gets to the loading screen where the bullet casing fly across the screen, but then it just says dirty disc.

Oh blah, that was a stupid mistake, and a 1 line fix... will be uploading shortly
I suppose i should test more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Argh the window for editing posts timed out while i was writing it

Anyhow for the next release, if anyone wants to do some beta testing pre release, please PM me in these forums and I will get back to you sometime. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyhow, beta 5 fixed version is being uploaded right now. So hopefully this one will fare better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So long as this one works fine, next thing is ISO extraction (including a revamp of the faulty and ugly file extraction page, but mostly batch uploading and stuff like in normal xbox ISO apps).

Comments, suggestions, feedback are welcome as always

Hmerly: You just need to try different media. My 360 works reliably with ONE single dvd+rw, and no other discs i have tried. DVD+R works better than dvd-r, specially bitset to dvdrom.

jas0nuk: beta 4 i never bothered uploading cause it had no new features, just fixes and stuff. Actually I cant even remember what i did in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

is xdvdmulleter able to prepare dvd5 iso made from dvd9? i shrunk all files myself, and the game boots just fine, it just hangs on loading screen (unable to read files i guess). the game is ninja gaiden black.
thx
Title: XDVDMulleter Beta 5 Fixed *updated*
Post by: badsheepy on February 12, 2007, 07:52:00 PM
kidman64: Yeah it can do that
How did you go about shrinking it?
I have shrunk ninja gaiden black to a working ISO (cause that game is fantastic)

I did it by removing all the Japanese videos, copying the equivalent english videos in their place (so there are 2 copies of the same video, with different names) and then building the ISO with crosslinking.

If you just removed videos then I would suggest first testing the dvd you made on an xbox 1 if you have one available (just because they read media better). If it works, its the media, if not, its the lack of video files.

If i can work out a way of doing things like that automatically i hope to include it later on, but I am not sure its feasible due to the many ways companies have of naming files etc.
What I will almost certainly do (but not before next release +1) is add support for files to automate the process. (Where someone creates a shrunk iso, and xdvdmulleter analyses it and creates an file containing the steps to replicate the process)

If anyone has any ideas, comments, or suggestions about that, or any other xdvdmulleter features, id be happy to hear them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have had no luck with ******* To dvd5 mulleter.
but had Pretty good success rate From Orig.game & xbox backup creator. Then just dvd9-dvd5 mulleter.
i'v tried many times from folders and so on.
I only mention this cause the nfo clearly says = " It can make your old xbox 1 scene releases work on xbox 360 either on dvd5 or dvd9 "
So do you need all the .xbe's or just the default.xbe?

Thankyou Badsheepy. ( lol , i been testing - as you call it )

Oyea I been use Memorex dvd-R 4x & a lite-on dvdrw dl shw-160h6s cp91 pc drive.
( im on xtreme5.1 ts-h943 ) .. the ones that work seem fine on dvd-r.

Thanks again 2 All.

SpaceBar 99: Have you been using layout files? Using layout files for dvd5 wont restore the original file positions, but it should create an identical iso to one converted from dvd9 original.

People have repeatedly reported disc errors without using layout files, so I cant stress enough how important they appear to be. (Note: Im not actually sure WHY they are this important, but evidence suggests they are)

Also, please dont post about making isos from backup etc, its against forum rules.

wait so this program can compile game files extracted with wx360 for example and make it into an iso?
that u have to ss merge and stealth patch?
Title: XDVDMulleter Beta 5 Fixed *updated*
Post by: badsheepy on February 13, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
santa09: XBOX 360 isos cant be rebuilt just yet, and probably not ever from a raw filesystem (at least until there is a proper kernel hack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They have extra stuff on the dvd that isnt referenced, and until we know where it is to copy there will be no shrinking for them.

nectar12: I know people have had success using dvd9 discs (not that that helps you a whole lot) but they definately do work for some people.

kidman64: well, i dont know if they are needed or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but ninja gaiden black works perfectly for me. I did notice a slight flaw in my shrinking might have been breaking the file order from the layout files, so if you nre burn doesnt work let me know, and i will send you an updated build

The App is great, very easy to use.

Worked for me converting an old Ultimate Spiderman iso I had created for my old xbox. I played it for about 30  minutes and got a lock up. Don't think this can be blamed on the software though.

I'm using x5.2C with ritek DVD-Rs.

So is there anyway that I can use this to make my xbox 1 backups work with my nme mod chip? Because that would be hardcore.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Post by: dvsone on February 15, 2007, 05:59:00 PM
@sosotiit - sorry fugged up

@ock462 - You need to make raw dumps to get it to work for your NME chip. This utility isn't going to help you create one. There's other tutorials on this site that will tell you how to do it and what apps you need.

All confirmation so far is that nme chip do not support xbox 1 and not SL either.
Hopefuly their FW will catch up. Sorry man,

Is your .net framework up to date for windows.
I had a prob but works fine since I updated this. Don't know why

Yeah to anyone else who might have that problem, XDVDMulleter REQUIRES .net version 2.

As for your problem tonemgub: The only other thing i have found to make it crash like that on bootup is running it from a networked drive. For some reason i havent had time to look into, windows decides that is a security risk and shuts it down.
But all you have to do is copy the files to a local disk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
If that doesnt help i dunno what it might be.

Post by: sosotiit on February 27, 2007, 06:42:00 AM
probably the xbox 1 version of Blitz that was made into a DVD SL.
Badsheepey will confirm, but still see no way to convert x360 titles in general to SL.

Yeah, seems xbox 360 isos have fixed position data on them which we need to both find and copy to make the iso work.

Support is there to do the copying and shrinking around these bits in new builds of xdvdmulleter, but cause we dont know how to work out what bits to copy.. its currently useless. Hopefully It will get worked out in time, but its a bit beyond me to do it so I cant promise anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm hoping to finish the ISO content shrinking bit before then anyhow, cause otherwise there is very few games which will fit on single layer regardless.

Stupid question, but I just stumbled onto this app.  Just to clarify, this will shrink down an original xbox dvd9 game so it can fit onto a dvd5, correct?  Will the shrunk game then be able to play on the original xbox or just the 360?  And if so, will this work on Jade Empire SE and The Warriors?

Also, to use it do you just load the iso/folders and click a button, or is it more in depth?

Thanks.

Should I just follow this tut?  http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=584241
