Initial

 

Preparation

 

DVD

 

Key

 

Before

 

you

 

can

 

use

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra,

 

you

 

must

 

first

 

obtain

 

the

 

DVD

 

key

 

that

 

corresponds

 

to

 

your

 

Xbox

 

360.

 

Every

 

single

 

Xbox

 

360

 

has

 

a

 

unique

 

DVD

 

key

 

and

 

you

 

must

 

obtain

 

the

 

one

 

that

 

specifically

 

matches

 

your

 

Xbox.

 

While

 

we

 

are

 

planning

 

to

 

update

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

to

 

support

 

automatically

 

extracting

 

the

 

DVD

 

key

 

directly

 

from

 

your

 

ODD,

 

unfortunately

 

this

 

feature

 

is

 

not

 

yet

 

available

 

and

 

for

 

now

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

obtain

 

your

 

DVD

 

key

 

through

 

other

 

means.

 

We

 

recommend

 

the

 

use

 

of

 

a

 

piece

 

of

 

software

 

called

 

Jungle

 

Flasher

 

which

 

can

 

extract

 

drive

 

keys

 

from

 

almost

 

any

 

Xbox

 

360

 

drive.

 

You

 

will

 

need

 

a

 

way

 

to

 

connect

 

the

 

drive

 

to

 

your

 

PC

 

in

 

order

 

to

 

use

 

Jungle

 

Flasher;

 

often

 

this

 

will

 

involve

 

additional

 

hardware.

 

Please

 

see

 

the

 

documentation

 

accompanying

 

Jungle

 

Flasher

 

for

 

further

 

information.

 

There

 

are

 

other

 

means

 

of

 

extracting

 

drive

 

keys;

 

any

 

method

 

is

 

suitable

 

providing

 

you

 

end

 

up

 

with

 

the

 

correct

 

drive

 

key.

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

currently

 

supports

 

ANY

 

Xbox

 

360

 

drive

 

regardless

 

of

 

the

 

firmware

 

version,

 

providing

 

you

 

can

 

obtain

 

the

 

correct

 

drive

 

key.

 

There

 

is

 

currently

 

only

 

one

 

known

 

drive

 

where

 

the

 

key

 

cannot

 

be

 

extracted

 

from

 

the

 

drive

 

itself

 

 

that

 

is

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

Slim

 

Hitachi

 

DL10N.

 

However

 

in

 

this

 

instance,

 

the

 

drive

 

key

 

may

 

still

 

be

 

obtained

 

from

 

the

 

Xbox

 

360

 

itself

 

via

 

the

 

“reset

 

glitch”.

 

Once

 

you

 

have

 

obtained

 

the

 

DVD

 

key

 

for

 

your

 

Xbox

 

360,

 

you

 

should

 

have

 

a

 

file

 

called

 

Key.bin

 

which

 

contains

 

the

 

16

byte

 

key

 

in

 

binary

 

format.

 

If

 

you

 

have

 

used

 

Jungle

 

Flasher

 

to

 

obtain

 

your

 

DVD

 

key,

 

you

 

can

 

generate

 

a

 

Key.bin

 

file

 

by

 

selecting

 

the

 

“FirmwareTool

 

32”

 

tab

 

and

 

then

 

pressing

 

the

 

“Save

 

Drive

 

Key”

 

button.

 

The

 

“Key.bin”

 

file

 

must

 

be

 

placed

 

at

 

a

 

specific

 

location

 

on

 

the

 

HDD

 

you

 

will

 

connect

 

to

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra.

 

In

 

the

 

root

 

directory

 

of

 

your

 

HDD

 

there

 

should

 

be

 

a

 

folder

 

called

 

wasabi

”;

 

if

 

this

 

does

 

not

 

exist

 

then

 

create

 

it.

 

Place

 

the

 

“Key.bin”

 

file

 

inside

 

the

 

“wasabi”

 

folder,

 

so

 

you

 

end

 

up

 

with

 

the

 

file

 

path

 

X:\wasabi\Key.bin

 

where

 

X:

 

is

 

the

 

drive

 

letter

 

for

 

your

 

external

 

HDD.

 

Hard

 

Disk

 

Drive

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

connects

 

to

 

external

 

HDD’s

 

via

 

an

 

ESATA

 

port.

 

Any

 

ESATA

 

enclosure

 

is

 

supported,

 

along

 

with

 

USB

 

HDD’s

 

if

 

you

 

are

 

making

 

use

 

of

 

the

 

Wasabi

 

ESATA

 ‐

>

 

USB

 

adaptor.

 

The

 

HDD

 

must

 

be

 

formatted

 

with

 

the

 

NTFS

 

file

 

system.

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

will

 

only

 

scan

 

the

 

root

 

directory

 

for

 

ISO

 

files,

 

so

 

place

 

all

 

your

 

game

 

ISO’s

 

in

 

the

 

root

 

directory

 

of

 

your

 

HDD.

 

The

 

files

 

must

 

be

 

named

 

with

 

a

 

.ISO

 

extension.

copy

 

protection

 

scheme

 

affecting

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

more

 

recent

 

games,

 

where

 

a

 

challenge/response

 

table

 

is

 

required

 

in

 

order

 

for

 

such

 

games

 

to

 

boot

 

with

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra.

 

The

 

specific

 

list

 

of

 

games

 

where

 

AP25

 

is

 

activated

 

can

 

be

 

found

 

here:

.

 

The

 

challenge

 

response

 

table

 

required

 

for

 

AP25

 

is

 

dependent

 

on

 

your

 

Xbox

 

360

 

dashboard

 

version;

 

in

 

order

 

to

 

use

 

an

 

AP25

 

protected

 

game,

 

you

 

must

 

first

 

obtain

 

the

 

correct

 

AP25

 

table

 

corresponding

 

to

 

the

 

dashboard

 

version

 

you

 

have

 

installed.

 

Team

 

Wasabi

 

provide

 

AP25

 

tables

 

for

 

various

 

dashboard

 

versions

 

for

 

download

 

from

 

the

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

website.

 

Inside

 

the

 

download

 

archive

 

is

 

a

 

file

 

named

 

ap25.bin

 

 

place

 

this

 

file

 

on

 

your

 

HDD

 

in

 

the

 

wasabi

 

directory,

 

along

 

with

 

your

 

key.bin

 

etc.

 

Unlike

 

with

 

other

 

solutions,

 

you

 

do

 

not

 

need

 

to

 

patch

 

ISO

 

files

 

with

 

“AP25

 

replay

 

data”.

 

This

 

is

 

handled

 

for

 

you

 

automatically

 

by

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra;

 

all

 

you

 

need

 

to

 

do

 

is

 

ensure

 

that

 

ap25.bin

 

has

 

been

 

copied

 

to

 

your

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra’s

 

HDD.

  

Even

 

if

 

you

 

have

 

no

 

plans

 

to

 

play

 

an

 

AP25

 

protected

 

game

 

at

 

the

 

current

 

time,

 

we

 

recommend

 

that

 

you

 

install

 

ap25.bin

 

regardless.

 

This

 

will

 

lead

 

to

 

less

 

trouble

 

if

 

you

 

decide

 

to

 

play

 

AP25

 

protected

 

games

 

in

 

the

 

future.

 

Please

 

ensure

 

that

 

you

 

familiarise

 

yourself

 

with

 

which

 

games

 

are

 

AP25

 

enabled

 

for

 

your

 

dashboard

 

version,

 

and

 

if

 

you

 

will

 

be

 

using

 

any

 

of

 

these

 

games,

 

ensure

 

that

 

you

 

have

 

correctly

 

setup

 

Wasabi

 

360

 

Ultra

 

to

 

deal

 

with

 

AP25

 

as

 

per

 

the

 

directions

 

above.

 

If

 

you

 

attempt

 

to

 

play

 

an

 

AP25

 

protected

 

game

 

without

 

first

 

setting

 

up

 

ap25.bin

 

then
