anyone have any additional info about these "exceptions"? neither are games i will be playing, but i have to admit i'm intrigued about what makes those 2 games special.
Oh come on now... You were just saying how you so wanted to play Disnesy Sing it lol.
J/K
But, could it just be due to the new wave 3 video partition?? maybe it is somethign they can manipulate different ways during production that has to be changed in order to burn??

I'm curious as well. You smell a possible exploit of some sort? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I would assume only a dash update can be run from a non standard video partition, but it does seem like maybe there is some way in the system there.

It does seem strange to me that they can put these new video partitions on discs and pass disc check on the 360...
they are signed and sealed by M$ using their unobtainable key is my guess..

I mean if my 360 was never on the internet, how would they tell the 360 this is ok if I don't already have the NXE somehow? Afterall you can't have a dashbaord that knows what all the future video partitions will be like and pre approve them in the current dash...
I would assume only a dash update can be run from a non standard video partition, but it does seem like maybe there is some way in the system there.
Or the simplest theory - MS don't check for video partitions. The only reason stealth firmware exists at all is an attempt to ensure correctly ripped backups are used which accurately preserve as much data as possible from the original.
Original firmware has no such checks in place - why should it need to?

I just downloaded the new abgx360 v.1.0.1 to my MAC. About the installer, i read that the Video_0E58FB9D.iso files, usually has to be in ~/.abgx360/StealthFiles/ on other systems than Windows - but where is that on a MAC?
I hope that someone can help me

Disney SingIt HSM3 i believe had some data problems with the ABGX360 v1.0.0 and the way the app did the data checks of the game. Hawx and MLB was fine but HSM3 had some issues.
The Disney Sing It game and Monsters Vs. Aliens were detected as wave 3 games by 1.0.0. If you had the Video_0E58FB9D.iso wave 3 video file in your local StealthFiles folder, it would autofix the games. If you didn't it would say that the stealth check failed. The games are wave 2 though, so they shouldn't be patched like that. Version 1.0.1 properly detects these games as wave 2 and will patch them back to wave 2 if you autofixed them using version 1.0.0.

It dawned on me right after I posted. A "." before a folder hides it in osx. Curious why they would make the default folder hidden. Use the command "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" in terminal then relaunch finder. Then look in your home folder, you'll see it. obviously "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO" and a relaunch will put you back to normal.

Thanks for your reply. It worked, but i found out, that your commando was wrong. The real commando to show the hidden folders is "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE" and "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE" to put it back to normal. A small but important different
Thanks again tabsaid

hello, is there an option or cmd line parameter, to force the output of text information (game title, achivements) in specific language (if its a multilingual game)?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe abgx uses the default language that you have on your pc.

Just follow the settings on the site and you will be fine.
As mentioned above, the site IS down, so any validations against the database will not work.
Will have to wait until the site is up.
I run abgx360download.com if you have any questions directly about the site.

Reading some of these tutorials I am to use ABG 360 and it will fix the problem. I select the ISO file I created, I put "Autofix Threshold" to Level 3 and launch. It does its thing and after 15-20 min it tells me the PFI Sector is a Wave 3 and I need iExtreme v1.5.
I thought iExtreme is for flashing drives and not fixing files. Am I wrong?
I have successfully backed up my 360 and regular Xbox games, just this game is giving me trouble.
I use a Samsung DVD Rom w/Kreon 1.0 to backup games to computer. I am using my Liton DVD RW for burning my backups.
Any help would be great.
Post by: kboom on June 06, 2009, 06:58:00 AM
You shouldn't have any problems, and... yes, iXtreme is a firmware not a program/app. so I don't see where you're getting "the" problem.
Peace.

Firstly update to the latest Xbox Backup Creator, secondly that is what you would see with XBC. The PFI contained in H.A.W.X is designed for a wave 3 game (containing dashboard on disc).
Run the file through ABGX and you will see it's response, PFI is most likely correct so don't worry.

This depends what game you are checking, ABGX will only produce a result if the game you are looking at is contained in DB. Also to note the game may be in the DB but if you discover same version which is a different pressing then ABGX will not help you till it's available in the database.
