Ripping Your Own Discs with XBC and Topology Clarification
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
As there is confusing and conflicting information in the wild we would like to clarify a few points with regards to ripping your own discs and what to do with topology data.
1. Making Your Own Rips
When ripping your own discs with the latest Xbox Backup Creator v2.9 Build 350 you should have “processing AP2.5″ unchecked. This adds an extra hour to each game rip and is not required. This option is only used when topology data is being collected for development purposes.
Remember that angle measurements need to be as accurate as possible. If you rip your own you are using just 1 set of measurements. Your laser may be weak or you may have just one measurement out of hundreds that is out of bounds of the accepted values and your disc will error and you will be flagged for an AP2.5 Failure (See point #3)
FYI the accepted values are -/+ 22 (even though originals rarely go above -/+ 2 with a perfect quality laser – the extra is allowed for those that have a poor quality laser)
The median files that are created are the work of HUNDREDS of dumps per game over many different consoles and many different drives. Then using a complex algorithm millions of individual results are then calculated to give the absolute best timing scenario possible. The median files that are provided give a deviation of -/+ 8 (The original target was 9 – so anything below this is considered awesome).
To give you an idea of what we are talking about here is the deviation data when using the median file on an XGD3 title: http://pastebin.com/VSNkwF3m
As you can see the results are superb and rarely go above -/+ 4 with a maximum of 8 in just one instance.
However if you rip your own you may find that some angles will go up to -/+ 100 which is WAY over the -/2 22 threshold and will give you a bad image.
So when ripping your own images, uncheck Process AP2.5, patch with the given median file and then burn. There may be a simple app coded for you to check the deviation values of your own rips in the near future.
Note: The XGD3 Median Topology file covers ALL current XGD3 games. This includes other languages too. There is no need for you to check the profile of your game at this moment in time. if you are 100% certain that the median file does not work with your XGD3 title then you need to rip the original game using the new XBC and test it again. If it then DOES work then you need to report it with the Profile ID of the game and the AP25 topology file (after checking process AP2.5 of course). If you can’t do this then dont bother posting about it.
2. Bogus Median Files
We have noticed that some people have been uploaded bogus median files which are blank. These have been causing errors and making invalid images. Thanks to these assholes, many people have lost time and money.
The official and original download link for the median files is this: http://bit.ly/u6ZaKY
3. AP2.5 Flags & You
If you are flagged for an AP2.5 failure do not panic. This does NOT mean that you are going to get banned. Originals fail all the time due to a poor laser so this should largely be ignored. It’s fair to say that those who have countless failures will probably draw attention more than those with just a few. Take from that what you will. The point to be made is, if you are flagged, it doesn’t really mean shit.
4. Burning XGD3 Titles
When burning XGD3 titles use a Liteon iHAS Burner with the Burnermax firmware and verbatim MKM-001 or MKM-003 discs. There will be no other support or advice given on any other burner or any other media especially truncated versions. If you are too cheap to invest in an $18 burner and media that costs less than $1 then you deserve all the problems that you encounter.

Dashlaunch Temp Monitor v1.0b *update v1.1*
>> Swizzy released Dashlaunch Temp Monitor v1.0:
[QUOTE]
Overview - What it does
- It'll read the temperature data that dashlaunch broadcasts and convert it to something you can read (in Celcius)
- It'll show you the temperatures in real-time as well as log them for you (you'll need to manually save the log, it doesn't do that on it's own)
- It'll Color code the temperatures that are displayed as current/last read
** the temperatures are configurable with; green beeing below good temps which are labeld as "low", orange beeing in between low/high and red if the temperature is higher then the specified value **
- It'll save your settings in %appdata%/Swizzy/dashlaunchtempmon.ini if you want to manually edit something, or just simply delete them to use defaults :)
*update* v1.1 - what's new/fixed:
- Removed: Option to display raw data in the log, it's not really needed for end-users, if you are a dev and want to see the raw data, go right ahead and download the source, uncomment the blob of code that handles this and you'll have all of it right there infront of you in a flash! ;)
- Added: Support for reading Path/PEname data from dashlaunch 2.29 output
NOTE: it'll still support the data output of 2.28 just the same, difference is that it now also reads the extra data that is within version 2.29
- Fixed: Optimized the app ALOT, it no longer use a shitload of your cpu it now use around 1-3% of your CPU ;)
- Added: Translation for all devices that are currently available, so it's easier for you to see/understand where the game/app is run from in the log later on and also what is actually running :) (NOTE: this is not a flawless identification so
it may still be a bit cryptic to know what was running...)
- Added: Counter for how many readings are in the log
- Added: Option to automaticly flush the log to temps.log every time the counter reaches the set value you've specified, this makes the log window cleaner and lets you keep logging for a very long time and then check back to see how the temperatures changed without your computer going berserk on you because your memory is packed with a shitload of data from my app
- Fixed: when opening the prog without the log then enabling it, the window would keep the log hidden, now it resize the window properly, otherwise it saves the window size when you hide the log and put's it back into that size when you want to show it again
- Added: Last minute change adding Title/Media ID output aswell, along with an option to enable/disable this output in the log (it's on a seperate line to make it easier to find ;))

xk3y Firmware v1.12 - without language restrictions
>> From xk3y.com:
[QUOTE]
When xk3y was first launched we produced an OEM version for one of our Chinese partners. This version was locked down to a few Asian language to promote sales in Asia and discourage resellers to export the OEM version to other regions. Sadly, some unscrupulous resellers still sold the OEM version to other regions, leaving end users with xk3y devices that would only display Asian languages on the remote.
We have always stressed that this is an OEM version and not something we support, as we do not offer it for sale. When these issues first surfaced, we discontinued the OEM deal and has since only supplied the standard version. However, in the interest of consumers who have received the OEM version we have decided to remove all language restrictions in the firmware, starting with version 1.12.
- Fixed "Network Fail" Message
- Latest Mr_Waffles Web app
- Asian Language lock removed
- Improved French language strings
- Added more languages (TUR Turkish)
