Tech Update: MemCard Drivers, bf Packer, Raw Dumps, DVD Auth. Encrypted
>> * maximilian0017 released a driver for Xbox 360 Memory cards. It will still be a raw device (so device won't appear in explorer or so), but no manual forcing of drivers will be neccesary.
You can see how to modify your Xbox 360 memorycard to connect on PC via USB here, a larger doc/guide is available here and another method here.
Download driver: here
* th0mas already released a bf Unpacker last week, now player98198 released a new GUI utily on XBH that will allow you to both pack and unpack .bf files.
The .bf files are some sort of archive format (not compressed) used on the Xbox 360, or atleast in the game King Kong.
Download: here
* Gael360 has released some nice tools for creating raw dumps of 360 discs using the hot/swap method (you will have to open your PC drive):

So let's start with the hotswap method. I think everyone here already knows that the TOC of the original game is a fake one, so you have to load a big DVD (data or movie, more than 8Go) in your drive, then stop it (my software has a function for that), and replace by the game you want to backup.
Now the DVD drive thinks that you have a big DVD loaded, so it let you access all the Xbox DVD sectors (nearly 4000000). But because your hotswap DVD is larger than the Xbox DVD, you have to find the difference between the two DVD, to compensate the shift of the second layer (layer1).
The software has a function to find the shift, it's called 'Hotswap/Find magic number'. To do that, the software use some 'bench marks' on layer0 and layer1. These bench marks are already known by the software, and stored in a little text file (provided with the software). So for now you have to use a known game to find the magic number. When you have it, you can replace in the drive the known game by an unknown one. And if you want the software to add the unknown game to thje database, you just have to clic on 'Hotswap/Add game to database' and choose a name for the game.

* The (very) technical thread about the DVD drive on XboxHacker.net revealed some more interesting information. In short: On the original Xbox all communication on the IDE bus was unencrypted, but on the Xbox 360 some part of the ATAPI communication is encrypted (it seems to be only 'authentication' related communication like mode sense/mode select and Read dvd structure). More details here[Please remember if you choose to participate that this thread is for technical discussion only, thanks!]
