However I hoped they someday would give use FILES2GOD functionality. The functionality is already there in a way since the prog remakes the ISO totally. The prog extracts the files and rebulds the ISO in one step, It would be great if you could add a folder and the prog would make the GOD container. Tried several progs that made the ISOS but couldn't get it to work on all games, wanted to make 1 DISK GOD's out of 2 or 3 DISK games however had to place the files as files in the GAMES folder in the end since the GOD got corrupted.
Is there any way to contact the group and ask if they could ad this functionality if not to mutch hassle? Do any one know how to make contact? I am quite sure every game would work if they would add this possibility themselves....

He said this would be supported now and he also said there wouldn't be anymore updates after this release. I hope he makes atleast one more release with FOLDER2GOD / FILES2GOD functionality. A function patching old GOD with media ID would also be great even better if you could patch all GOD in a folder over FTP or atleast on the hardrive. Even patching them individually is better then making ISOS of the GOD and making new GOD with the new ISO2GOD. Its a pitty FSD2 can't find the updates without this now we really need to remake all our GOD's. Are all old GOD's without Media ID or is it only a problem with the new ones that have the different XEX?

At present we don't have plans to put out any new releases of I2G unless there are new bugs the media ID issue that require fixing, but this is only because we're working on a new app which will eventually end up replacing I2G so our attention is focused on that right now. Because the code for I2G is fairly hideous to maintain, I've been rewriting it from scratch to make it easier to add in the various features people have been asking about for a while now. We're not committing to a release date though since the day jobs obviously take priority
As for the media ID issue, it's relatively easy to fix manually as you just need to fill out the media ID at offset 0x354 in the CON stub then rehash the region 0x344-0xB000 using SHA-1 and write out those 16 bytes to 0x32C. I expect some of the container rehashing tools could do the job, but I'll try and put out a quick app to automate the fix if I get some free time this week.
Thanks for the continued support,
- KrK

That would be most helpful, especially if it runs on the 360. I've got about 40 games already installed as GOD needing to be patched & I'm sure others are in the same spot.

Does this mean I can use FSD just to add the media ID and get updates but use the normal 360 dash on a day to day basis and it will use the updates in the normal way? Apologies if this is obvious, never bothered with FSD before.
Yes, the FSD version that we just released will do this for you. From the changelog:
"(Added) Media id is injected into containers that are made with iso2god "

You could do this with FSD, and then uninstall it if you wanted to...

So does this software make it so we don't need to modify the firmware to play backups on 360? How do I go about transferring the games to the 360 hard drive?
No, it doesn't do that...move along.

Does this happen automatically when it scans media folders? I don't see any mention of how to enable or execute this feature.
It's automatic. If it encounters a GOD container with a missing MediaID, it fixes it.

Second of all, if it doesn't do what I just asked. Why does the description say, "KrK / Team 360h released a version of ISO2GOD, a tool used to convert an Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 ISO images into Games on Demand containers, removing the need for a DVD drive in your 360"?

ISO2GOD converts the ISO into a GOD container. You can either upload the GOD files it create or ask it to upload it for you automatically via FTP and into the console HDD.
This only work on jtagged machine so with or without your DVD drive you are able to play the games off your HDD. This is why some jtaggers remove their DVD and use that space to cool down the GPU instead.
I like to keep my DVD drive though, not for games but mostly to play DVD videos from time to time.

I realize that ISO2GOD is strictly made for JTAG'd consoles and only guaranteed to work on such, but when the last one was released I got a bit curious and put a GOD container onto my drive using just the above method. It *almost* worked. As in, I could go into the dashboard on the unmodded Xbox and select the GOD blade, and the game would appear in it briefly before disappearing and being unselectable. When I would check in the storage options, the game would be there but would give me the Corrupted Exclamation Point of Doom.
I'm mostly curious if anybody can answer me what it is in a technical sense that prevents a non JTAG'd box from playing the converted ISO->GOD container, for my own tinkering reasons.

Speaking from a strictly hypothetical perspective, isn't it possible to just open up your Xbox hard drive and plug it into your computer then put the converted GOD file onto it from there?

You can transfer my your pc to a 360 hdd using a transfer cable and numerous programs to do it but it is painfully slow and very unstable, i wouldnt attempt a full game folder for the risk of crashing.
I havent tried running a GOD game on a stock 360 but for one the system wont allow the game to start without a disc in the drive and it would detect that the game is not original and not start, and if you use live you will be banned. No doubt someone will come up with a way to allow it to work.

Im sure in the near future there will be ways of doing this on a stock console
Getting the files onto your hard drive isn't the problem. The technical reason this won't work on a non-JTAGed console is because applications must be properly signed in order to execute. The signing takes place with keys which only Microsoft has access to. When you download DLC or install a GOD, those files are signed by the console, tied to the console and the profile where you originally downloaded it. That's why you can't simply move your hard drive to another console and play your DLC offline. It's the whole reason for the DLC transfer process that Microsoft allows you to access once per year. Those restrictions have been bypassed on JTAGed consoles, and the odds of ever doing this on a stock console are next to impossible.

is there any info on whether there will be an updated version of ISO2GOD or a new, similar app that will handle XGD3 .iso files?
thanks...
That's what I'd like to know too. I never had a problem with ISO2GOD and just want it to support XGD3.

1 : Extract 0800 iso with lastest exiso
2 : Re-Create the iso with "create iso good"
3 : Use ISO2GOD 1.3.5
4 : Enjoy

a bit discombobulated compared to the luxury of ISO2GOD, but worked like a treat.
- ran the xgd3 .iso through exiso
- fed the resulting folder through "crear iso.exe" as you linked
- ran the resulting .iso through iso2god and FSD found it and it runs fine. the game sucks, but the process works like a treat... for now.
thanks a ton for the tip, razkar!

Many thanks, wish it wasn't necessary but it is a workaround for now. Hopefully these trusty old tools will get updated at some point.
