Move: Control Pterry through this musical platforming adventure using your Xbox Live Vision camera.
Cooperate: Join in with a friend to juggle your totem collection using the camera and a controller.
Roam: Use Free Play mode to practice and explore environments without affecting your progress.
Groove: Sway to the sounds of the music generated in-game by you!
The members of the ancient Ptolmec tribe compose striking and innovative music in TotemBall. When they simultaneously discover gunpowder and barbeque, the explosive results scatter their musical totems across the breadth of the jungle!
Now Pterry the Pturtle must roll across mountains, islands, bridges, and through giant pinball games to retrieve the lost totems and bring the groovy Ptolmec music back to the party. Using your Xbox Live® Vision camera, help Pterry recover all the musical totems while moving to the totem beat.
And although it is free you will need an Xbox L!ve Vision Camera to play it. So if your planning on buying one this Friday (The UK release date) then you might as well grab a copy while its still free. :)
Kreon released a new version of his firmware for the Samsung SH-D162C PC DVD-drive. This modified firmware allows you to dump original Xbox and Xbox 360 discs with the cheap SH-D162 PC DVD drive (no Xbox(360)-drive or disc hot-swap required).
XBOX 360 enabled alternative FW for the Samsung SH-D162C drive - V0.81
The time has come for a small update. A few bugs/problems was identified in the V0.80 release, so a lot of effort has gone into testing
V0.81 in order to provide a more stable and reliable experience.
Changes/fixes in this release..
* Fixed: Wrong disc size was reported following a SS extraction when in 'lock' mode.
* Fixed: SS extraction for XBOX game discs didn't work as expected, causing incorrect data in response table.
* Added: The speed of the drive is set to 6x prior to extracting SS data just like the TS-H943 does 5x.
* Added: A sense error 03/11/00 (Media Error - Read Error) will now be reported, if an unrecoverable read error occurs during SS extraction.
* Fixed: A few other minor fixes to improve overall performance an reliability.
This is what you get..
* Full challenge/response functionality.
* Two types of unlock for XBOX 360 game discs. One for making xtreme style images and one for making wxripper style images. Both types of iso can be made using isobuster. Ripping using wxripper isn't supported for the time being
* A 'lock' function that will cancel any enabled unlock state. This can be very useful for custom applications.
* 'Error skipping' which basically speeds up the error handling of the drive. A complete wxripper style image (including video) can be obtained in 15-16 minutes, when error skipping is enabled. Getting through the critical area of LBA 19408-20479 will take you more than 20 minutes alone, if error skipping is disabled Sad
* A much more streamlined command interface which is good news if you intend to write an application that makes use of the drives extra features.
* The drive will default to unlock state 2 and error skip enabled when a 360 media is inserted. You can in other words use isobuster to obtain a wxripper style image without issuing any commands to the drive Smiley
* RPC1 support (RPC-2 actually but with automatic change of drive region and RCE support)
This is what you'll have to wait for..
* Hardware correct timing for response types 5 & 7.
Schtrom released a new version of Schtrom360Xtract, a tool that will allow you to easily dump Xbox/Xbox360 gamedata, extract/patch the Security Sectors and fully prepare the image for burning in 1 step.
What's new/fixed (since v2.1):
* extraction speed on SH-D162C is now 10 minutes for Xbox360 discs
* app also starts if no supported drive is found (to do image extraction/injection)
* on cancel the incomplete extracted file can be deleted
* support of kreon's GetFeatureList command, to check if the firmware of SH-D162C supports c/r data extraction, this is also available from the tools menu
* send custom cdb commands to drive can be used from the tools menu to send all possible cdb's to the drive
-we added predefined cdb presets
-you can add your own custom cdb presets which are saved in the Schtrom360Xtract.ini file
-the hexdisplay can be saved to a file
* sector re-read settings can now be changed per drive type and disc type, this could be important if your discs are scratched or if you have problems extracting XBOx1 games
* if your SH-D162C or compatible drive isn't detected you can configure a custom drive in the options menu, the choosen drive type determines how the drive is handeled by the app, so if you have problems detecting the SH-D192C or compatible drives configure this to be SH-D162C and choose the mapped system drive letter
* on problems you can activate a debug log and a ss debug log
-the debug log logs the extraction process
-the ss debug log logs only ss extraction and writes down the important sections of the ss like c/r data
-the logs reside in the program directory
-the extraction debug log is named Schtrom360Xtract.log
-the ss debug log is named SSDebug.log
* if read errors occur a msg is displayed where you can continue writing blank sectors or abort extraction, after the extraction is finished the complete number of errors is displayed for blocks (16 sectors * 2048 bytes) and single sectors (1 sector * 2048 bytes)
- all available ini settings can be edited in the options dialog you can set the following global values:
-debug mode on or off
-ss debug mode on or off
-sound on or off
-custom drive type you can set the following drive and disc specific values:
-eject tray after extraction yes or no
-speed boost on or off
-max read speed and idle speed of the drives
-single sector read on error can be turned on or off
-the number of block and sector re-reads on error
* added kreon firmware revision level in drive combo box for SH-D162C
* common control style for windows xp added
Not content with merely launching the Xbox 360 in local game stores, the South African and somewhat fidgety arm of Microsoft also shoved the next-gen console into the spotlight at rAge -- that's a really awesome acronym for "Really Awesome Gaming Event."
Perhaps it was the fuzzy graphics, odd aspect ratios and the indecipherable text that gave it away, but it became abundantly clear that those lovely HD visuals were being strangled by a hissing composite cable. A quick inspection of all the consoles revealed a disturbing truth -- Core systems running at a paltry 480i, the mistake magnified for all to see on Samsung LCD screens.
We spoke to several people involved with the distribution of the console, all of them pointing the blaming finger at an amorphous "miscommunication." It seems that Core systems were deemed suitable for the show and were promptly sent out to the organizers -- the fact that the Xbox 360 Core does not contain HD AV cables was apparently overlooked until it was too late. Thankfully, one brave man made the connection and, in the final moments of the first day of the expo, arrived with a collection of VGA cables and rescued several (but not all) consoles from standard definition peril. The resolution (OOF!) came a bit late, but it certainly defused some of the embarassment that would have been an entire weekend of non-HD HD gaming.
XDVDRebuilder is a program that doesnt rebuild xbox dvds(actually it would work for xbox 1 isos ripped with garbage but not for 360 isos because they have magical hidden data and until someone works out where it might be its doomed to failure)
Note: this program is not complete and as such has options that dont do anything and buttons which are disabled, dont panic though, its easy.
What it DOES do is quickly and easily allow you to check the region code of an iso(more specifically the default xex/xbe of an iso) and tell you if its stealthy or not, and if it has been patched with SS. Works with both xbox1 and xbox360 isos.
