How to use abgx360 to check stealth

Postby acid2k1 » Sat Apr 25, 2009 8:56 am

Hello ixtreme members

this guide was made by m60_maniac so all the credit goes to that person.

checking the stealth of an iso

Before we start, there’s a few setting i would recommend changing, although it takes longer to verify it will give the most accurate reading. After they have been changed click file>save settings>default



Click options, then you want to make sure you have all these settings ticked. Also in auto fix there are some to change.

The ones I have highlighted are the ones I changed.

Now down to business

Step 1: select your input, file, directory, DVD drive. File is the default and the one that will be mostly used.

Step 2: browse for the ISO file

Step 3: Click the Launch button and read the output. it will check all the parts and will tell you their status. Generally yellow isn’t too bad, it’s for stuff link a bad kreon rip and if it can’t find the INI file, red is the serious one. Green is ok.

Note: The .DVD file is automatically created if it doesn't exist or fixed if it's invalid unless you disabled that setting under the options tab or selected "Disable Writes"




checking for anydvd corruption


What is anydvd style corruption?(Taken from abgx360)

AnyDVD is an app that runs in the background to remove DVD video protections on the fly. This is a nice feature when playing or ripping protected DVD movies but it causes problems when ripping Xbox 360 games because the video data (and possibly game data) will be altered in a way that is detectable on Xbox Live. Altered video will be easily detected and fixed by abgx360 because there are currently only two different video partitions used on Xbox 360 games - the first was used up until 2006-12-04 (with one exception) and all games authored since then have used the second video partition. abgx360 knows which video partition (and matching PFI) your game should have based on the timestamp of authoring in the SS, and it knows what the CRC of that data should be. However, AnyDVD has also been observed to cause corruption in the game partition. If that happens when reading an actual file in the game data, it could result in the game crashing or reporting an error when playing that backup.




How do I know if I have this?

When you check the ISO, you will see it check for it after it checks the CRC. it will look like this somewhere:

I have a corrupted iso, what do I do?

Abgx360 should fix this, if however it doesn’t do not burn it as it will not be safe to play online. Post in a forum about it, ask for other members help.




Checking the info of the iso


i have finished checking the ISO, how do I know if I have a fully safe ISO?


You will see a lot of text on the box that pops up, you don’t need it all, just the bit that are in colour. This is a fully safe iso; it is Allstars Call of duty world at war.

i have a bad rip, how do I fix this?

There are 2 ways to fix this, normally abgx360 will fix this itself if you have changed the options I said about earlier, but sometimes it won’t.

method1.
download the good rip files and use abgx to insert them, under the manually patch or extract files tab. select the files you want to insert, browse for them and click launch.

Image


method 2.
This works by changing the value of the ss file, making it a good rip. I’m not sure if this has adverse effects but it will fix the ss.bin file. Under the auto fix tab, check the adjust angle 359 for ixtreme >1.4/ when you click launch it will fix this.

Image


With either method, the end result is as follows:

Image


I get an error saying verification failed right at the bottom.

This is common with new releases; it is caused by the game not being added to the database yet. The error looks like this

Thats it hope you enjoyed the tutorial. credits to m60_maniac.

Is it necessary to fix SS angle 359 if you have a 1.6iX flashed drive?

I never do. And honestly, I don't think you have to. Anyone else know for sure?

I think the angle fix is just for ixtreme 1.4 or less.
Is this the definition of irony?
EA being involved with games called bad company.

Is it still safe to play games that aren't added into the database? Like certain Wave 4 games?
