Schtrom360Xtract v3.2
>> Schtrom released a new version of Schtrom360Xtract(info), a tool that will allow you to easily dump Xbox/Xbox360 gamedata, extract/patch the Security Sectors, PFI and DMI and fully prepare the image for burning in 1 step.

What's new/fixed:
* extraction speed up, caused by increasing the block size extracted in one loop from 16 to 32 sectors, the following applies for XBOX360 discs extracted with "whole disc (stealth xtreme 3.0)" style extraction
-on the SH-D162C extraction at 16x speed takes 08:33 minutes, V3.1 09:58 minutes
-on the TS-H943A extraction at 12x speed takes 15:03 minutes, V3.1 16:20 minutes
* images have the iso extension
* predefined filter values for file dialogs removed, you can choose any file (*.*)
* removed annoying message boxes on cancel file dialogs
* titles of predefined custom cdb commands are now listed in ini file order
* options for block and single sector re-reads set to 20 as default, sector mapping for XBOX1 is turned on as default
* DeviceIoControl is now checked for returned status and the returned sense from the drive, this should give better error detection
* fixed Star Trek Legacy and Fusion Frenzy 2 issue, the sizes of video and game partition are now calculated from the pfi and the alternative pfi in the ss, this should give a working image on future games with a different video or game partition size
* options dialog now remembers the last active drive and disc type
* check for NTFS file system on file extractions greater 4 GBs
* any DVD-ROM drive is now displayed in the drive combo box
* extraction of backup discs supported on kreon's drives and normal DVD-ROM drive
* on the TS-H943A backup extraction is not possible, cause the drive disables 0800 mode on insertion of a backup disc at least for me



Xbox Backup Creator v2.4
>> Redline99 released a new version of Xbox Backup Creator(info), a tool that will allow you to easily dump, create/patch and burn Xbox and Xbox 360 images with full support for SS, DMI and PFI.

What's new/fixed:
* Added - Image Browser/Extractor. Right mouse click in Tree/List for extraction options. Use File menu to load an iso image from HDD
* Added - Region Checking xbe/xex
* Added - Support to burn image in ImgBurn (Currently doesn't get correct exit code?)
* Added - Support to burn image with Nero (COM component)
* Added - Support to detect identity changing between Hitachi and Samsung. I've been too lazy to hook my Hitachi back up with a modified firmware so this has not been fully tested by myself. :)
* Added - Support to Extract/Inject Video
* Added - Support to read PFI, DMI, SS and whole image off of a backup
* Added - Support for iso's that dont have PFI, DMI (will substitute standard values)
* Changed - SPTI Timeout values, hopefully fixes more than creates problems :)
* Changed - Drive Open method for burner to Exclusive Access
* Changed - Changed verbiage on ISO Tools tab from Merge to Inject
* Changed - Relaxed PFI check to allow for oddballs like Star Trek Legacy
* Changed - Timeout value when setting layerbreak from 10 seconds to 120
* Changed - Method to detect current visible partition, a little slower now though
* Changed - Removed SGD-605B until I have the time to properly support it
* Changed - Removed Save Firmware button, there are better tools for this
* Changed - Removed Get DriveKey button, there are better tools for this
* Fixed - Not being able to quit if the drive space was low and user selected cancel
* Fixed - Initial lock state for Kreons drives
* Fixed - File Handle not being closed after FindFirstFile
* Fixed - Issue with non-standard video or game partition sizes (Star Trek Legacy)
