I've been scouring the internet for help here, and I'm pretty close to figuring it all out. I downloaded the the new patch "Video_0E58FB9D.iso" and since I'm using a mac I'm not sure where to put it. I read to make a folder right in my harddrive:

abgx360/StealthFiles/folder/Video_0E58FB9D.iso

I go into abgx360, go to the manual tab, select the ISO on the top. I then check "Patch Video" and select the same ISO. When I click Launch I get:

abgx360 - --p-video '/abgx360/StealthFiles/folder/Video_0E58FB9D.iso' -- '/abgx360/StealthFiles/folder/Video_0E58FB9D.iso'
calvin-holts-macbook:~ calvinholt$ abgx360 - --p-video '/abgx360/StealthFiles/folder/Video_0E58FB9D.iso' -- '/abgx360/StealthFiles/folder/Video_0E58FB9D.iso'

Checking for updates to GameNameLookup.csv and abgx360.dat...
Server file GameNameLookup.csv no newer than local file - not retrieving
Server file abgx360.dat no newer than local file - not retrieving

Video partition found
Video CRC = 28570223
CRC might not be correct - PFI is needed to know the full Data Area size
Video partition does not match known data


I don't know what I've done wrong, but it's getting on my nerves. Any help is wanted! Thanks!

Where is your StealthFiles folder?

On Windows this is usually C:\Program Files\abgx360\StealthFiles\
On other systems this is usually ~/.abgx360/StealthFiles/

I haven't messed around with OS X recently so I can't remember where it stores all the programs you install. I'm imaging the stealth folder is in a similar location like Windows and you shouldn't have to create a folder, it should alread be there.

I used Finder to search for an angx360 and StealthFiles folder, but neither existed.

I'm not sure where I should make the folders though. I just made it on my harddrive, next to my System and Applications folder.

Sorry to bump this but I'm still having issues with updating the mac version of abgx360 with the 3rd Wave patch. I found this tutorial on this site:

Quote:
I have it running on OSX.

Abgx deinstalled and reinstalled to help you out.
(Downloaded the version including the 3rd wave video btw)

1--> deinstall abgx (use appzapper to remove everything not only the app)


2--> reinstall abgx using the abgx360-1.0.0.mpkg found in the MacOSX folder form the unrar.

everything works and no more asking for video.iso.

before i had a seperate abgx360 folder flat on Apple but after deleting it (was not de-installed by appzapper) it has not returned.

Seems you have the 1st version of the 1.0 and this is giving you probs.

Dl the latest and you good to go

One addition:

Goto Apple in Finder and create:
abgx360/StealthFiles/ folder and put the video from the 3rd wave folder in it.

Startup abgx and on the manual tab select patch video and choose the iso in the just created folder ( i had to change file type to iso te make a selection possible).

After this abgx gives no more errors and is able to patch for 3rd wave video.
I tried all of this and it didn't work. Terminal spat out what I posted in my first post. Thanks for the help!

[Edit:] Also, I'm not quite sure where I should be creating this abgx360 folder he speaks of. In my user folder? My application folder? Right on my HD?

Hi

Sorry i know this is late but I too had the same issue which I have just solved today!

Now with my abgx program i needed 2 files one for 3rd wave and another for 4th wave so after getting these, do the following:

1) Download Tinker Tool (its free!)
2) Open and in the finder section of the app check view "hidden files" and click "relaunch finder"
3) Go to your User Area (Where your docs and other files are kept), here you will see a file called "abgx" in this will be a folder called "Stealth Files".
4) Drag the extracted .iso files you downloaded to the stealth file
5) Uncheck the box in Tinker Tool and relauch - Be careful not to change any hidden files or delete them as this can mess your computer up!
6) Run ABGX360 and let me know

enjoy
