XBOXISOTOOLKIT - XBox ISO Extractor/Rebuilder
---------------------------------------------
Coded in 2002 by TOSHi of HTTP://WWW.THENEWXBOXSIDE.DE

Note on Release 1.1:
--------------------

There is still a known problem for the ISO's of "SSX Tricky" and "Halo" but we
are releasing Version 1.1 to gather more feedback from users on the ISO's that
were non-working with Version 1.1.

Foreword:
---------

This tool has been written as a substitute to the copyright-licensed "gdfimage"
Tool by Microsoft which can be found in the XBox Development Kit (XDK).

It features a XBox ISO Extractor and a XBox ISO Rebuilder. Both functions have
totally been coded from the scratch and the tool therefore contains no
Microsoft copyrighted code.

This tool is only for personal use and you are only allowed to spread it in
unmodified form (including it in other Tool-Packages or any other form is
prohibited).

Usage:
------

Just open up the tool and you're confronted first with the disclaimer and then
with the GUI. Dependent on the function you want to use, use either the "XBox 
ISO Extractor" or "XBox ISO Builder" Sections.

1. XBox ISO Extractor:
----------------------

Source ISO File  = This is the ISO File you want to extract all the files from.
                   (you should use the "BROWSE" button to choose the file)

Target Directory = This is the directory all the files included in the ISO will
                   be unpacked into.

After choosing the desired file and directory just click the big "Extract ISO to
Target Directory" button and the work will progress. In the "Status:" section
you can check the whole procedure.

2. XBox ISO Builder:
--------------------

Content Root Directory = This is the root directory that should be used for 
                         creation of the ISO-File
                         (if repackaging already extracted files use the same
                          directory that you used as "Target Directory")

Target ISO File        = This is the ISO file that will be created. (If you 
                         choose a file that already exists it will we 
                         overwritten)

After choosing the Root-directory and ISO-File just click the big "Build ISO
from Content Root Directory" button and the tool will start to build the ISO.
Again you can check the whole procedure in the "Status:" section.
