To clone a DVD in the XBox drive by creating a new XBox iso on your computer's hard drive:
This assumes:
- The DVD is accessible as the D: drive (or /d directory) on the XBox.
- You want the iso on your computer's hard drive to be called "game.iso"
- Your XBox is on the LAN at address 192.168.1.1
- FTP is ENABLED in your dashboard
- The username and password for the dashboard ftp account are "xbox" and "xbox" respectively (if not use -u and -p options).
- from UNIX: extract-xiso -c /d game.iso -f 192.168.1.1
- from DOS: exiso.exe -c d: game.iso -f 192.168.1.1
To upload an XBox iso from your computer's hard drive to your XBox via FTP:
This assumes:
- You have created a partition on your XBox called F: (or /f directory) that you upload games to.
- You want the game to be uploaded into a folder called "games" on the F: partition (/f/games/)
- The iso on your computer's hard drive is called "game.iso"
- Your XBox is on the LAN at address 192.168.1.1
- FTP is ENABLED in your dashboard
- The username and password for the dashboard ftp account are "xbox" and "xbox" respectively (if not use -u and -p options).
Note that when finished the game will be on the XBox at /f/games/game/ as a folder that is the same as the name of the iso (minus the .iso extension) is created in the destination folder prior to uploading.
- from UNIX: extract-xiso -d /f/games -f 192.168.1.1 game.iso
- from DOS: extract-xiso -d F:\games -f 192.168.1.1 game.iso
To convert an XBox iso created with another xiso tool (such as GDFIMAGE or other) to extract-xiso format:
Q: Why do this?
A: Nearly all XBox iso creation tools make iso's that are very inefficient WHEN BURNED TO DVD (it makes no difference if you are just uploading to the xbox hard drive). If you plan to backup your game to a DVD it is a good idea to optimize the directory structure with this command before you burn it. Your games will load MUCH faster from the XBox DVD drive.
Note: This command creates an optimized COPY of the existing .iso, so you'll need some free disk space at least equal to the size of the .iso you're optimizing. When complete the optimized .iso may be not be the exact same size as the original (either a little smaller or a little larger). This is due to the way the files have to be laid out internally and it is no big deal. The DVD will still read MUCH faster in the XBox drive.
- from UNIX or DOS: extract-xiso -r game.iso
To list the files (without extracting) in a .iso:
- from UNIX or DOS: extract-xiso -l game.iso
To find out all the command-line options you can use:
- from UNIX or DOS: extract-xiso (no arguments)
