Hacking Should I be running my backups through abgx360 before playing them through xkey?

[DinohScene]

AP2.5 sector was put into the games as an anti piracy method.
It involved a challenge table (in the console, the dae.bin) that send a challenge to the DVD drive, the DVD drive then went over the AP2.5 sector and responded with a response, the console then verified it and the game got booted.

If the response was faulty the console would halt booting and flag your security data with an AP 2.5 trigger flag.

However, this AP method was severely flawed as stock consoles and legit games with heavy scratches also failed AP.


In short, it's just best to patch every game you have and don't scratch legit games (nor backups)

As for a Wiki...
No not really.
There's one on the 360's hardware similar to Wiibrew, but a piracy related wiki for the 360... nope.

Could you list some sources for learning about these 4 security methods:

SS XGD3 AP25 DRT

There isn't much to learn about really.

SS is the Security Sector
XGD3 is the newest Xbox Game Disc, it has 1 GB of extra space (and an AP2.5 table)
AP2.5 is what I just explained ;p
And DRT......
Doesn't ring tits?
Idk xd doesn't ring a bell.

You could go to the iXtreme forums and check there but you won't find much.
