Hi,

This is a new dumping tool for XBOX DVDs.
It is a drop-in replacement for MineSweeper, as this one also dumps the L1 Video layer which MineSweeper did not.
It can also be used for only calculating the hashes of a disc.

Readme:

Usage: FreeCell <DRIVE> [-n|-o OUTPUTFILE] [SECTORFILE]

Dumps an XGD from a compatible drive, padding sectors in SECTORFILE.
The resulting OUTPUTFILE will include all video layers data.
Outputs the crc, md5 and sha1 of the resulting dump.

  -n             don't save to OUTPUTFILE, only calculate and show hashes
                 can not be used together with -o
  -o OUTPUTFILE  use OUTPUTFILE as file to extract to
                 if no -o option is given, it will default to "Track 01.iso"
                 can not be used together with -n

This is windows only, but if there is need for a linux version, let me know.

!!IMPORTANT NOTE!!
There is a check build in to make sure the Middle Zone A data is all zero padding.
This program will stop the dump if it's not, and instruct you to report this.
If you ever see this message, report it!

Hi there V.

Would be great to know whether all the information (total disc size, layer break value, etc. etc., in short everything that is used to dump a disc) was taken out of the actual disc properties, means that they aren't hard coded.

I don't have the time to go through your source codes and would appreciate it if you can list all the steps of dumping, so that we can announce your tool as the new one to be used for Xbox dumping. Thank you.
