Introduction
This tutorial will explain in detail how to use a SAMSUNG SH-D162C DVD drive (flashed) to create your own backups from your original xbox 360 games.. If you have any issues please post questions in our forums.
Please Note
All actions have to be executed inside of the same folder where our files are located.
Also all files which are being created, downloaded or saved must be located in the
same folder (nme360_makebackup). Make sure to have at least 20GB of free space here.
Flash SAMSUNG SH-D162C hacked Firmware
1. Make sure there is no CD/DVD inside of the drive!!!
2. Start (doubleclick) sfdnwin.exe
3. Select drive from pulldownmenu: TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D162CTS04
4. At the top left click "DOWNLOAD FILE OPEN"
5. Select file: SH-D162C_TS04_XB360_KREON_V060.bin
7. At the top left click "START DOWNLOAD" (button in the middle)
After successfully flashing the drive you will receive the message: "DOWNLOAD OK!! RESTART WINDOWS."
8. Now reboot your pc and you're done flashing the firmware.
Creating a .ISO from an Original Game
Download ISOBuster (http://www.isobuster.com/dl.php?v=1&l=0) install and execute it.
at the top left select the Samsung drive from the pulldownmenu (TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D162CTS04) in the left tab at the top (directly under the pulldownmenu from which you can select the drive) click "DVD" using
the right mousebutton - right beneath click "extract dvd " - right beneath click "extract userdata (*.tao *.iso *.wav)"
Now select our working folder to save the iso there.
Depending on which version of ISOBuster you are using you can enter a name for the iso.
The name of the iso must be "tmpgame.iso"
For the the following errormessage do like this: click "fill with zeroes" and activate "always choose selection".
Now click "Select" to continue creating the iso.
The progress bar sits at 0% for around 5 minutes and then slowly goes up to 100%.
Get rid of the final message "Error(s) occured while reading" with a mouseclick on "NO"
Finally ISOBuster creates a .cue file which we won't need in our further progress.
In case you couldn't enter a name for the iso file you now have to rename it to "tmpgame.iso" even if it's a .tao
file you can rename it to .iso without problems. if not already happened move it to our working folder "nme360_makebackup"
CAUTION!!!!
There are several versions of each game
e.g. USA, JAP, PAL UK, PAL German or PAL multilanguage and so on...
We need the exact matching SS for our version we made the iso from.
Save the SS as "ss.bin" in our working folder.
Doubleclick "makeit.bat".
Now the NME-360 compatible iso is being created which will take a while because we have to copy more than 7GB.
The final ISO will have the name game.iso and must be exactly 7.705.657.344 Bytes of size. (in KB it is 7.525.056)
Burning the ISO
1. Download IMGBurn (http://www.imgburn.com), install and execute.
2. At first we have to enter the layerbreak information manually. This has to be done only once because IMGBurn will save this setting and use it for ever untill you change it again.
3. Choose TOOLS - SETTINGS - WRITE - Options (top right) - mark "User specified" - enter thevalue "1913760" into the field below. Confirm with "OK".
4. Now back to the mainscreen of IMGburn there is a small icon in the lower right corner which looks like a book. Click this icon with your left mousebutton and we will be able to change the booktype manually.
5. A new window opens which lists several DVD writers. Choose your dvd writer and enter the following settings:
- "Change for:" "Drive (For DVD+R DL Media)" below "New Setting:" "DVD+R DL"
click "Change" with your left mousebutton and confirm the message "SUCCESS" by clicking "OK".
- Hit the "OK" button to get back to the mainscreen where you can select the iso by clicking the small folder
6. Select the icon besides "please select a file...".
7. Choose your "game.iso" file.
8. Preferably change the writing speed to the speed of your media. Never write faster than your media can handle it because you could make it a coaster.
9. Disable "Test-Mode" and "Verifiy"
10. Finally insert your DVD+R DL media and press the big button to start burning.
Sidenote
If your Xbox360 is equipped with a Hitachi drive then you don't have to change the booktype necessarily as this one can handle the booktypes DVD+R DL and DVD-R. For Samsung drive the booktype MUST be set to DVD+R DL. Anyway we suggest to always change the booktype to DVD+R DL because what if you are going to take your legit
backup to your friend to play it there and his Xbox360 is equipped with a samsung drive? It won't work there. And this is one of the main reasons to create a backup, to not to carry your expensive original game around with you
and possibly damage it...
Only make backups of your legally purchased games. Piracy kills the industry!
Converting an XTREME .ISO to Work with NME-360 Modchip
To convert an Xtreme game image to an image for use with NME-360 modchip follow these easy steps:
1. Download the complete Xtreme 2 NME-360 converter package by clicking here.
2. Your Image.000 file contains the game and security sector, the security
sector(SS) needs to be extracted and converted to work with the NME360 chip.
3. Extract the SS with the excellent Xbox360 SS Merger program.
- Choose Tool, Iso Splitter
- Select the Game Iso (usually Image.000)
- Click Extract SS, make sure that the offset is set to 265877504.
- enter the file name ss.bin
- and press SPLIT!
This creates a file ss.bin
4. Run convert.bat to convert the security sector, and to build a new ISO.
This can take a few minutes, as we'll have to copy more then 7 Gigs.
The final GAME.ISO size should be 7.705.657.344 bytes.
5. Burn the ISO using CloneCD or IMGburn. Set your drives booktype to DVD+R DL, for maximum drive compatibility.
eg. For Imgburn, make sure that the layer breakpoint is set to 1913760.
The Samsung chip only works with discs burned as DVD+R DL.
The Hitachi chip works with booktypes DVD-ROM and DVD+R DL.
