There are two methods of dumping Xbox games. The method used will be determined by which type of disc you have, Kreon or 0800.
+
-
* Kreon disc drives:
+
-
** SATA models:
+
-
*** SH-D163A aka TS-H353A
+
-
*** SH-D163B aka TS-H353B (won't work externally with an adapter, must mount in a pc tower)
+
-
** IDE models:
+
-
*** SH-162C aka TS-H352C aka SD-M2012C(?)
+
-
*** SH-D162D/TS-H352D
+
-
* [[0800|0800 drive flashed with custom firmware + Team Xecuter X360USB PRO]]
+
-
==Kreon drive Setup & Dumping==
+
==Dumping==
-
===Tools / First Time Setup===
+
*Method #1 (Easy, Preferred): Dump with this guide [[Disc Dumping Guide (MPF)]], but with "DiscImageCreator" selected for dumping application.
-
* Kreon disc drive.
+
*Method #2 (Difficult, Discouraged): [[0800|Dumping with 0800 drives]]
-
* Flash your Kreon disc drive's firmware:
+
-
** Download the appropriate firmware for your model:
+
-
*** [https://archive.org/download/xbox-tools/SH-D163A_SB01_KREON_V100.zip SH-D163A/TS-H353A]

-

*** [https://archive.org/download/xbox-tools/SH-D162C_TS05_KREON_V100.zip SH-162C/TS-H352C/SD-M2012C(?)]
+
-
** Unzip the firmware software, open up the command line and '''cd''' (change directory) to it's location.
+
-
** Run the command: '''sfdnwin.exe -nocheck'''
+
-
** You'll get a pop up that says "-Nocheck Use!!!", click "OK" beneath it. This will open the SFDNWIN app.
+
-
** In the app, select your "Drive".
+
-
** Click the light-blue Folder icon in the upper left part of the app, then select the ".bin" file that came with the app.
+
-
** Click the green Folder icon.
+
-
** If successful you will be asked to restart your computer, do this.

===Dumping===
+
-
* Xbox Backup Creator:
+
-
** Open the Xbox Backup Creator app by double clicking on "Xbox Backup Creator.exe".
+
-
** Navigate to the "Drive Tools" tab then click "Security Sector". Save this file ("SS.bin") into the "FreeCell & ss_sector_range" folder.
+
-
** Click on "PFI Sector" ("PFI.bin") and "DMI Sector" ("DMI.bin") to save these as well in the same location.
+
-
** Close Xbox Backup Creator app.
+
-
* Press the eject button on your drive twice so that it will open and close your drive (remounting the Xbox partitions). DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.
+
-
* In the "FreeCell & ss_sector_range" folder you downloaded, you can run these apps manually or use the batch file.
+
-
** To run with the "run.bat" file:
+
-
*** Open "run.bat.txt" with Notepad app and edit it, changing "F:" to your Kreon drive letter.
+
-
*** Remove the ".txt" extension so the file is now named "run.bat".
+
-
*** Double click on the "run.bat" file and wait until dumping is complete (reaches 100%).
+
-
*** Now the Xbox game will be dumped to "Track 01.iso".
+
-
** To run these apps individually / manually, '''cd''' (change directory) to inside the "FreeCell & ss_sector_range" folder and:
+
-
*** Run '''ss_sector_range.exe SS.bin >sectors.txt''' in the folder containing the SS.bin.
+
-
*** Run '''FreeCell.exe Drive: sectors.txt''' in the folder containing the sectors.txt.
+
-
*** Now the Xbox game will be dumped to "Track 01.iso".
+
-
Note: Some stubborn discs may not read with FreeCell, as it lacks thorough error logic and read speed control. If you have a stubborn disc, you may be able to use an 0800 drive and Xbox Backup Creator to successfully dump it.

==Dumping with 0800 drives==
+
-
* Software: [https://archive.org/download/xbox-tools/Xbox_Backup_Creator-v2.9.0.425.zip Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425]
+
-
* Open the app Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425
+
-
* On the Options tab, check "Build Clean ISO".
+
-
* On the Read tab, uncheck "Use Sector Mapper (Xbox One)".
+
-
* Click the Start button on the Read tab.
+
-
* A read error should occur shortly after starting the dump. This is normal. Check the box "Apply zero fill to all remaining sector errors." and click the "Zero-Fill Sector(s)" button.
+
-
* When the dump is complete, make sure that the log window reports exactly 65536 unrecoverable sectors. These are the security sectors. If the number is higher, this means there were actual read errors and your dump is likely bad. Some games can still be read at a slower speed and with more attempts at reading bad sectors. On the Options tab, choose your drive under the "Drive Specific" section, then choose "Xbox One" in the dropdown beneath. Then set Block Retry Limit and Sector Retry Limit to 20, and Set Speed to 1x. The dump will take a bit longer, but dumpers have managed to save otherwise bad discs by reading them in this manner.

Work in Progress.

*Region: To determine Region open DMI.bin in Windows' Notepad app. At offset 40 you'll find a string like AV202202E0X11. This string contains valuable information: in this case, AV2022 is the disc serial (AV-2022). 02 is the version (1.02). E is the region (Europe). Finally, the last two bytes tell you that it's Disc 1 of 1. Don't trust that "region" value too much; sometimes, games that have been cut for a specific country (Germany, for example) and have been exclusively sold there still bear the "E" or "W" region code.
+
-
** W = World
+
-
** A = USA (America)
+
-
** J = Japan (or Asia)
+
-
** E = Europe (might be Germany only for example, or any other European country)
+
-
** K = (USA, Japan)
+
-
** L = (USA, Europe)
+
-
** H = (Japan, Europe)
