Forum discussion on original Xbox and Xbox 360 dumping here.

Required Tools

• Compatible disc drives:
  • 0800 drive. Can dump all games.
  • Kreon: SH-162C/TS-H352C/SD-M2012C???, SH-D162D/TS-H352D, SH-D163A/TS-H353A, SH-D163B/TS-H353B. NOTE: Kreon drives can only dump some games.
• Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425
• ss_sector_range_1.0e
• FreeCell 0.2-RC1
• abgx360 v1.0.6

Dumping

• Use Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425 with 'Build Clean ISO' option checked. XGD3 discs can only be dumped with 0800 drives.
• If a Kreon drive is used for dumping, mark SS as SSv1 in comments.
• If a 0800v3 drive is used, mark SS for XGD3 discs as SSv2 and SS for XGD2 discs as SSv1. (ss_sector_range will convert/downgrade original XGD2 SSv2 files to SSv1, so that 0800 drive SS files will match Kreon drive SS files)
• After extracting the SS, run ss_sector_range on the SS.bin file to clean it and to obtain the security sector ranges.
• Finally, open the cleaned SS.bin file with ABGX360 and copy the text that is shown after "SS CRC =".

To see all the required information when submitting your dump, just look up some existing dumps in the db.

• E = Europe (might be Germany only for example, or any other European country)
• K = (USA, Japan) or (USA, Asia)
