Just burned a copy of MW3 and then realised that I haven't burned the topology data to it. (ripped using a BenQ with 0800 V3 and the new XBC)

Any one want it? I'm just going to bin it, burn it again with the data.

Cheers

Thought id post in here as we all know what it's about.

Nobber signing out !
 
oh and who wants GOW3 as well.......LMFAO! Printed as well this one! haha!
 
You're not alone dibbs mate, I added the XDG3 topology to MW2 - and I did it TWICE before realizing my mistake. :)
 
having a mare here like, might have to head to bed and have a fresh start in the MORNING GETTING HAMMERED! I only ever used to make these mistakes when i was blotto, them were the nights trying to solder with out the soldering iron being on, or soldering the whole of a board together as I was that drunk that they looked like they just been a mould of lead exploded on it, You know them days when you'd melt lead down to make some fishing weights and you dropped one, bit like that but worse! try and mop it up and then covering the whole bench and tools in the lab with stella, nothing better than an "oh no" as you pick some thing up and it's dripping booze, even as far as holding it over your mouth in an attempt to stop it going on the carpet.!

Any way, to top it off me rig just rebooted in the end of the burn of MW3,

I wonder if any one fancy going on a parachute with me tomorrow? TANDEM styleeeeeeeeeeeee for the new year and that? :cool:

Won't these work fine on a Samsung drive though?

If so, I will take em off ya unless you trashed 'em already?
 
if ripped original game with the new xbc then no need to inject topology data

Have a read of this mate.

topology data ripping

Making Your Own Rips
When ripping your own discs with the latest Xbox Backup Creator v2.9 Build 350 you should have "processing AP2.5" unchecked. This adds an extra hour to each game rip and is not required. This option is only used when topology data is being collected for development purposes.

Remember that angle measurements need to be as accurate as possible. If you rip your own you are using just 1 set of measurements. Your laser may be weak or you may have just one measurement out of hundreds that is out of bounds of the accepted values and your disc will error and you will be flagged for an AP2.5 Failure (See point #3)

FYI the accepted values are -/+ 22 (even though originals rarely go above -/+ 2 with a perfect quality laser - the extra is allowed for those that have a poor quality laser)

The median files that are created are the work of HUNDREDS of dumps per game over many different consoles and many different drives. Then using a complex algorithm millions of individual results are then calculated to give the absolute best timing scenario possible. The median files that are provided give a deviation of -/+ 8 (The original target was 9 - so anything below this is considered awesome).

To give you an idea of what we are talking about here is the deviation data when using the median file on an XGD3 title:
LT3.0 - Liteon - 14699DAE - Forza 4 BU - New Median - Pastebin.com

As you can see the results are superb and rarely go above -/+ 4 with a maximum of 8 in just one instance.

However if you rip your own you may find that some angles will go up to -/+ 100 which is WAY over the -/2 22 threshold and will give you a bad image.

So when ripping your own images, uncheck Process AP2.5, patch with the given median file and then burn. There may be a simple app coded for you to check the deviation values of your own rips in the near future.

Note: The XGD3 Median Topology file covers ALL current XGD3 games. This includes other languages too. There is no need for you to check the profile of your game at this moment in time. If you are 100% certain that the median file does not work with your XGD3 title then you need to rip the original game using the new XBC and test it again. If it then DOES work then you need to report it with the Profile ID of the game and the AP25 topology file (after checking process AP2.5 of course). If you can't do this then dont bother posting about it.
