to keep me up late.

Notes:
Check your settings, this version will reset all settings back to their defaults

On the Image Tools Tab if you use the "Image Browser" it will first check if
there is a dvd in the current selected drive. If there is a dvd in the drive then
that is what will be displayed. You can use the menu in the Image Brower to
close that and open an iso file.

Xbox Backup Creator v2.1 Build:0175 by Redline99

Removed - SDG-605B from being able to create a Complete Backup Image (Will bring back and fix later)
Removed - Most of the "Wait For Ever" CDB code options. This was causing what looked like a App hang.

Added - A detailed Security Sector log
Added - Check of image file size before writing
Added - Optimum Power Calibration before writing
Added - Log file will now reset if larger than a 512KB
Added - New method for reading Xbox One disks. This should greatly improve the process. See Note *
Added - Feature to save the XDVDFS structure to a comma delimited text file (mostly for research)
Added - XDVDFS File system entry details (if a read error is in the file system area)
Added - Feature that if user selects to fill read errors with zeros, but a
read error occurs in file system data they will get prompted again as this
could be a media defect error in game data and shouldn't just be filled with zeros.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This uses a technique I called the "Sector Mapper" It uses the XDVDFS to read only the
data referenced by the file system. In theory this should do two things:
1. Speed up the process by not trying to read the Security Place Holders
2. Speed up the process by only reading the data, not the entire disk.
Please be aware that although this has been tested and is working the concept has
not proven itself on a large scale. It currently does not work on Xbox 360 disks.

Xbox Backup Creator v2.0 Build:0100 by Redline99
Initial Release

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware Requirements:
Processor: Something within the last 3 years should be fine. I use a P4 3GHz with 1GB Ram
Ram: The application currently used a 20MB write buffer, shouldn’t be a
problem on current machines.
Drives: A DVD+R Double Layer burner that supports a Buffer Underrun Technology.
PC DVD Samsung SH-D162C with Kreons modified firmware (PC DVD Drive)**
Xbox 360 Samsung TS-H943A with Xtreme compatible firmware, v1, v2 or v3.
Xbox 360 Hitachi GDR-3120L with Xtreme compatible firmware with OPA v2.1***

OS Requirements:
Windows NT platform with NTFS file system (because file sizes are 4+ GB)
Windows XP SP2 is preferred, Vista has not been tested.
If there is enough interest I may support Win9x by way of creating file sets
within FAT32 limits. An ASPI driver will also be required. (ASPI already
