xISO xFER v0.7b Readme
----------------------

This is a BETA! Use at your own risk!

See update.txt for any information regarding updates,
bugfixes or changes since the previous version!

xISO xFER is another Xbox ISO image extractor.
There are several other xISO extractors out there,
and if you are satisfied with the one you are currently
using, stick with it.

The main feature with xISO xFER is that you can select
your xISO (Xbox ISO) image and extract and transfer it
'on-the-fly' to your Xbox. It is thereby not necessary to
extract the ISO prior to transferring it to your Xbox.

The only other program that I know of that has this feature
is XBGMan (Xbox Game Manager) v1.5.


Multilingual?
-------------
Yup, in v0.5b, multilingual support is added. You can find
the available languages @ http://limit.agent55.com/xFER
If it doesn't exist there, download the translation file
'translate_me.ini' and translate everything after the '='
signs. Rename it to 'language.ini' and restart xISO xFER
to check that it is correct. If you translate it into your
language, mail it to me and I will provide it for download
at the xISO xFER page.


How-to?
-------

The GUI should explain a whole lot, but anyway;

First, enter your Xbox information into the textboxes in
xISO xFER and save them.

I think that the Xbox IP, login and password are pretty
self-explanatory...



[Rename XBE]
------------

If you want to rename the XBE titlename, check the box and enter a new
name. This will be displayed in the Evo-X menu.


[Xbox partition+dir]
--------------------

Here you must enter the partition + any subfolders you want to install the
extracted xISO to.

I.e: You have a 'games' directory in partition 'E' of your Xbox, so you
enter:

E/games

..or (since v0.7b);

E:\Games


[Game dir name]
---------------

This is the name of the directory that the extracted xISO will be 
extracted to.

I.e: doa3

This directory will be created on the Xbox HDD by xISO xFER, so it
is vital that it does not already exist!

This will create a directory in 'E/games' named 'doa3'. To this directory
will the xISO extract to -> 'E/games/doa3'

Now, load up your xISO by pressing 'Load xISO'. The program has only been
tested with 'true' xISO images, created by GDFIMAGE.EXE (c) Microsoft.

xISO xFER will validate the xISO. If it is validated correctly, it will
enable the 'Mode' and 'Extract' options. Otherwise, it will display errors
in the 'Header ID' and 'Tail ID' field and you won't be able to extract.


[Mode: Local or xFER]
---------------------

[Local] mode will extract the xISO into the 'temp' directory where xISO xFER
has been extracted/installed for further processing by you. Do NOT delete
the 'temp' directory!

[xFER] mode will extract and transfer the xISO to your Xbox 'on-the-fly'.

Easy as pie...

There will be *HEAVY* diskactivity while extracting...
NOTE: Since v0.7b, the re-coded extraction routines have been re-coded (again)
due to user reports of 'Range check error' while extracting. 
There *might* be heavy disk activity while running either mode (Local or xFER).
It all depends on the amount of RAM installed in the computer.

this program might have caused to your Xbox, PC or housepet!

You know who you are.

A special thank you goes out to MUFFiN for enduring my antisocial behaviour
during the development of this program. Luv U!

And of course, Aaron Robinson, a.k.a Caustik, for the wonderful XBE file format
explanation/information!
