This is a dumping guide for the Xbox 360 system, and includes dumping for discs with both XGD2 and XGD3 copy protection. For other Xbox system dumping guides see Microsoft Xbox Dumping Guide and Microsoft Xbox One Dumping Guide.

Forum discussion on original Xbox and Xbox 360 dumping here.

Required Tools

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.

Some additional info on ring/dmi string pointing to supported regions:

  • 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) or (USA, Asia)
  • L = (USA, Europe)
  • H = (Japan, Europe)
