Two Methods of Dumping

There are two methods of dumping Xbox games. The method used will be determined by which disc drive you get.

  • Kreon: SH-162C/TS-H352C/SD-M2012C???, SH-D162D/TS-H352D, SH-D163A/TS-H353A, SH-D163B/TS-H353B

Kreon drive Setup & Dumping

Tools / First Time Setup

  • Kreon disc drive models: SH-162C/TS-H352C/SD-M2012C(?), SH-D162D/TS-H352D, SH-D163A/TS-H353A, SH-D163B/TS-H353B (this model does not work with an external adapter)
  • Flash your drive's firmware:
    • Download the appropriate firmware for your model:
    • 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.
    • 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.
  • Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.0.425
  • FreeCell & ss_sector_range

Dumping

  • Dump the SS/PFI/DMI .bin files using Xbox Backup Creator.
  • After you closed Xbox Backup Creator, press the eject button of the drive twice so that it will remount the Xbox partitions.
  • 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'!
  • 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: 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.
