Ok, so with the release of LT, lots of controversy has come about in regards to ssv1 vs ssv2. Well, it's pretty obvious that ssv2 is safer when possible.
Now, ABGX is the verified online database. Therefore it has all of the "best" stealth files and stuff. So we will use ABGX to patch to ssv2 when possible.
Now, for the procedure. It's simple enough.
1.) Make sure you know where your ISO is.
2.) Open up Xbox Backup Creator
3.) Click on Image Tools
4.) On the right hand side, it says "Action" You want to set it to "inject"
5.) Now click on Security Sector
6.) Navigate to your ISO and double click it
7.) Now navigate to the invalid SS.bin and double click it
8.) It will give you an error warning you of an invalid xex combo. Click yes.
9.) Open up ABGX
10.) In ABGX, navigate to your ISO
11.) Launch the stealth check (I'm currently using AutoFix Level 3)
12.) There will be a LOT of red. Let it run. It will patch the files.
13.) Now your game is patched with the "best" ss available (has been SSv2 for nearly all wave 3+ games)
Bam. Like magic, all done. Run again through ABGX to confirm. Call it good.
3.
- Go to www.abgx360.net/verified.php, use the blue number on the right hand side of your game to obtain an SS and DMI combination (still must match the XEX of your game).
4.
- Load ABGX360, Go to the "Manually Patch or Extract Files" tab,
5.
- Tick "Patch even if stealth passes"
6.
- Tick the Patch SS, & Patch DMI, then browse for the files you just downloaded.
7.
- Go to the options tab
8.
- UN-tick "Verify if stealth passes"
9.
10.
Click "LAUNCH"
11.
12.
The files should be patched and will say "patched successfully" for each one.
13.
14.
FINALLY, load the ABGX360 default settings again, (reselect the game iso if needed)
15.
- Misc tab, make sure "Add if it doesnt exist or isnt valid" is selected for Splitvid
16.
- Options tab, make sure "Verify if stealth passes" is checked
17.
- UN-tick any boxes still ticked under "Manually Patch or Extract Files"
18.
19.
(the above should really all be enabled as default settings if they are not already. If you had to change to any of them, hold CTRL then press S to save your settings and choose "Default"
20.
21.
Click "LAUNCH"
22.
23.
If the game now shows SSv2, ALL CRC's Match, and you get Verification Successful at the end of the test, AND it says SPLITVID VALID (or added).
24.
25.
YOU NOW HAVE SSv2 and SPLITVID, YOUR GAME MATCHES OUR RETAIL RIP, so you are good to go.
26.
27.
Enjoy your game
