INFO:
Abgx360 is a tool that can create stealth patches and add the proper padding for Xbox 360 game disc backups, which is essential for using them on a console with a flashed DVD drive or an ODE, especially when playing them while connected to Xbox Live. Basically it patches the Topology data, checks for disc integrity, tampering, video padding, game hashes and more.
USAGE:
•Use the input at the top of the window to select a file, directory or burned DVD drive for patching.
•Click "Launch" button at the very bottom and let it work (it does take a bit of time for each ISO).
•The command prompt window will show you all the details.
•Once patching is done, the game should be good to go using an ODE or when burned on a disc with a flashed DVD drive.
SUGGESTED SETTINGS:
OPTIONS
•Check/Create .dvd file: Enabled
•Check Stealth: Enabled
•Verify if Stealth passes: Enabled
•Check/Fix Video padding: Optional (Doesn't affect stealth patches & will speed up patching time).
•Show Avatar Rewards: Optional (This will show avatar rewards in the CLI output during patching).
•Use Colors: Enabled
•Verbosity Level: Medium or High (depends on how much detail you want)
•Check for AnyDVD style game data corruption: Enabled
•Display ISO Filesystem: Optional (This will show every file in the .iso during patching).
•Check for updates: Enabled
•Disable all online functions: Disabled (Used for offline patching or debug).
•Include the CSV: Optional (Not needed, but can be helpful in some circumstances).
•Check Game Partition CRC when needed: Enabled
•Recurse subdirectories when using Directory Input: Disabled
•Show Achievements (and/or Hide secret ones): Optional (Shows achievements in the CLI output during patching).
MANUALLY PATCH OR EXTRACT FILES
•Patch even if stealth passes: Enabled
•Patch even if these files are invalid: Enabled
•The rest of the settings are for using specific patches or specific extractions per game.
AUTOFIX
•AutoFix Threshold: Level 3
•Trust SS v2 angles: Enabled
•Adjust SSv1 angle 359 for iXtreme < v1.4: Disabled
•Fix C/R Table if data is invalid: Enabled
•Adjust angles that deviate more than 3 degrees from their CCRT targets: Enabled
REBUILDING
•Keep the default settings
MISC
•Your console's region code: Select the correct region code for your console. This is crucial for playing on unmodified retail consoles.
•Preferred Language: Your choice of language
•Splitvid: Add it if it doesn't exist or isn't valid
•Images: Extract images when using HTML output
•Extra command line options: --pL0

- Change log
- abgx360 v1.0.7 [Hadzz Fork]
-------------------------------
Changes affecting Windows and Linux/BSD:
- No more abgx360.ini needed for online functions! Internal URLs have been updated to http://abgx360.hadzz.com
- Video CRC is recalculated with the new PFI in autofix, meaning "redump style" ISOs no longer require manual patching or having the video ISO locally.
abgx360 v1.0.6
-------------------------------
- XGD3 support.
- Replaced AP25 replay sector support with support for topology data (for consoles which do AP25 checks -- make sure you have LT+ v3.0 or later).
- Added "Min Kernel Required" (to boot the game) when checking an XEX.
- Added improvements to AutoUpload (used by uploaders) including extended C/R for SS (using the original disc) to make sure files uploaded to the database have very accurate angle measurements.
- Added optional command line argument "--speed" for setting drive speed when checking a burned DVD. Example: "--speed 12" will attempt to set the drive speed to 12x. You can try to set any speed you like, but setting a speed higher than what your media supports may cause read errors if the drive's firmware doesn't govern it. "--speed 0" will set the drive's default speed.
- Added optional command line argument "--showsstable" for when you want to see the SS C/R data but you still prefer medium or low verbosity. The SS C/R table has also been updated with "Mod?" being split into "Tol" (response tolerance) for the CCRT entry and "Mod" (response modifier) for the drive entry, also "Pad?" has been renamed to "Typ" (type). Thanks Redline99!
- Added vendor specific additional info and bus type when displaying optical drive names (bus type displayed on Windows only).
- Updated the list of optical drive sense code errors.
- Updated the game ratings definitions.
- Fixed a bug which negated the ability to recover from a write error when rebuilding an ISO using the low disk space method. It's unlikely that a write error would be recovered on subsequent retries, but at least now it will write the data in the correct place if it does recover.
- Fixed a bug which caused "Unknown Media: 0x00000000" to be displayed if the "Secure Virtual Optical Device" media flag was set and the "XGD2 Media Only" image flag was not set (The "XGD2 Media Only" flag has also been renamed to "Original Media Only" in abgx360 since they are using the same flag for XGD3).
- The archaic caution message about angle 359 was removed, but you are still able to "fix" it if you still have iXtreme < v1.4 (really old and not suitable for XBL anyway).
- Ability to "extract entire video partition (253 MB)" was removed; this doesn't make sense for XGD3 and isn't even very useful for XGD2 since it was just including a bunch of padding data that isn't even part of the real video partition... it was only needed for very old methods of concatenating with stealth files and a game partition to make a working backup.
