Thread: ABGX tutorial

Hi,

I thought i would put an ABGX tutorial together for us all, to show the settings that need to be applied to create a perfect backup thats safe to use online.

So lets get started, go ahead and open ABGX and hit the options tab, you will be presented with a screen like this, make sure you tick all the highlighted boxes shown below.

Ok now lets move over to the autofix tab and once again make sure your settings match all the highlighted settings below

Now open the Rebuilding tab and make sure Default Method is ticked


ABGX 3 by SlickiX, on Flickr

Now lets open the Misc tab, make sure the red highlighted areas match up again, note the blue/green highlighted areas are optional depending on your origin

Now save these settings as default


ABGX 5 by SlickiX, on Flickr

Now lets run a backup through and see what happens, ok load up the settings you have just saved (You will need to load the settings each time you open ABGX)

Now search for the backup you want to check and hit launch


wild one by SlickiX, on Flickr

You will notice that this backup was SSv1 but as been auto fixed to SSv2 and the rest of the stealth as been applied, but this backup is not complete yet, notice (cannot check splitvid due to invalid or uncertain PFI/Video) this is because we need to run the backup through again

Now go ahead and hit launch again

Now you see we have a perfect backup, fully stealthed with no errors other then the yellow video partition error which is normal with waves 5 and 6 video partition, theres nothing you can do about this until ABGX gets updated, the unofficial mod is not recommended

Manual Patch Settings

If you notice in your ABGX log that your backups still SSv1 after you have applied the stealth files, then you will need to manual patch this.

Click on the Options tab and untick verify if stealth passes


ABGX 6 by SlickiX, on Flickr

Ok click Manually Patch or Extract Files tab and select the highlighted settings below, now also save these settings and call them manual patch, so you can load them each time you need to manual patch, now you need to load the SS/DMI files indicated by the green arrows, which you downloaded from ABGX SSv2 Files see below

Once you have the files loaded up hit launch

You will see the DMI/SS files been manually patched into the ISO, but were not finished there you now need to run the backup through one last time with the default settings we made earlier to achieve 100% perfection

Congratulations, you have just fully stealthed your backup, your now safe to play online,

Enjoy,
