Hacking xK3y - Resident Evil 4 - Live Safe?

[donkeyhigh]

Okay, so here's the thing.
I've been looking all over the net for a working .iso of RE4. And I've downloaded allot of them (let's just say I don't know how to rip my original disc, or don't have the proper tools, whichever sounds more convincing).
And when I run them through ABGX, then all say

"SS media id does not match this game!"
"DMI media id does not match this game!"
"Stealth check failed!"
"AutoFix Failed!"

Now I know this should be kinda obvious. It's not safe.
But then I read a comment on a torrent, that said "Just load the iso, and choose "install to hdd", and it'll work". Now I'm not quite sure if he was talking about loading the game itself, because it seemed someone had problems with that as well, or if he meant it'll work online as well.

Is it safe to play this game, and not get banned? Or should I stay clear...?
I mean, I've played through it multiple times, but it'd be nice to have it on my xk3y hdd. I also read that with a xk3y, it's almost impossible to get banned.. The only way is if you play a game before it's official release. So are ABGX checks really necessary?

Any help would be great

Thanks

If you fear about getting banned then yes.
ABGX is needed.

Are you sure ABGX is in working order?
As they've moved to a new server.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Oh, snap, that's right. I just formatted my pc and reinstalled abgx, forgot about the server change. Gonna have to fix that tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me :-)

 

[DinohScene]

No prob~

 

[donkeyhigh]

Well I did the thing, placed the .ini in the right folder.
Still getting the same errors though.

Saying that kind of freaked me out about my other games as well. They say they are okay, but started wondering if I maybe did something wrong when running them, if I didn't connect correctly to their server.

If anyone's got the time, here's the log as an attachment.

PS: I bought a couple of bundles of games, used, at the equivalent of eBay in my country. That's why my log is so long and stuffed with games. Because I own allot of games. It's true.

 

[DinohScene]

Does ABGX do the same thing on an ISO you know is correct?
If so then it's ABGX to blame, if not then it's the ISO to blame.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Okay, then it's the iso.. Guess I'll just repurchase RE4 from Xbox Live.. :-/ I want everything on my hdd's..

Btw, is there any way to rip original games to the xk3y hdd?

 

[DinohScene]

If you got the original disk then you could use that one ;]

Nope, unless you take out your existing DVD drive, flash it with a 0800 firmware or use a X360 USB Pro v2, there's no way to rip one.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Of course I have the original :-P
I just don't want to have to have to get up and change the disc all the time. My xbox is kind of hidden.
Got the wifi dongle and android app, so I can control everything from my couch. Just easier to have it all on the HDD or as XBLA.. :-) oh well, it's worth it. Great game :-)

 

[DinohScene]

Or you could leave the DVD in the 360, that way it'll be loaded when needed ;]

Aye, repurchase from the 360 marketplace or getting another ISO is the only option.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Yeah, right now Rayman Legends is in the drive, for my kid. Guess I'll download that instead, and teach him to use the xk3y with our tablet.

Edit: :-)

 

[DinohScene]

Aye aye.

Good luck finding another RE4 ISO or whatever yer plans are~

 

[donkeyhigh]

Hm, I'm gonna download a jtag/rgh ripped xex-files version, then use Le Fluffie, or something to recreate a iso, and try running that through abgx.. Maybe, just maybe it'll work. Would be cool :-) I'll keep you posted on how it turns out..

 

[DinohScene]

You could use Xdvdmulleter.
Don't forget to add the correct video files etc.

 

[donkeyhigh]

Okay, thanks man. Gotta go do husband/father things now. I'll check it out tonight :-)

 

[DinohScene]

Haha good luck with that ;p
I unfortunately can't help ya with that ;p

Aye aye~

 

[donkeyhigh]

So, I tried using Xdvdmulleter, and it asks me for the ss.bin file. So I go to:
http://abgx360.xecuter.com/verified.php?f=name&q=resident+evil

Only to realize there is no records of RE4 whatsoever.
Thinking it's about to give up on this project :/

Thanks for all your help anyways, as always

 

[DinohScene]

Bummer.
Ohwell, good luck with it all ;]

No prob~

 

[kristianity77]

There is a retail version of Resi 4 for the 360??

 

[DinohScene]

Yep.
All 360 games are also launched retail.
