2026-07-18 - FriiDump 0.5.3.10 state-aware GDR-8050L handshake cleanup - Replaces the copied reference bridge's unconditional unlock -> tray cycle -> unlock preamble with state-aware READ CAPACITY(10) classification. - When the bridge enters in the unlocked game view, it skips both the redundant initial handshake and the redundant tray cycle before title/XDVDFS probing. - When the bridge enters in the locked/video view, it performs one direct full handshake without a media transition and verifies the resulting visible sector count before metadata probing. - Retains one explicitly logged tray-cycle recovery only when the direct handshake fails to expose the game view, then retries the full handshake once. - Preserves the one required media transition used later to restore the locked/video view before VIDEO-L0/VIDEO-L1 capture, followed by the final full handshake for game/XDVDFS data. - Corrects XDVD authentication metadata: unlocking does not require a media transition, while restoring the locked/video view does. - Live 0.5.3.9 evidence basis: Red Faction II completed 3,820,880 sectors, produced finalized four-hash/sidecar evidence, wrote the atomic Redump report, issued one final STOP UNIT, and exposed the prior three-handshake/two-tray sequence targeted by this cleanup. - No firmware update, write, flash, erase, 3B06, 3B07, or FLASHUP path was added or modified. 2026-07-17 - FriiDump 0.5.3.9 Xbox live-summary and cleanup correction - Preserves the successful 0.5.3.8 Xbox finalized-hash handoff and shared Redump verification path. - Carries the Xbox title, media ID, finalized output-sector count, and elapsed time across the copied GDR-8050L bridge boundary. - Reports the real Xbox title/media ID and 3,820,880-sector reconstructed output in the final HLDS validation summary instead of the generic pre-bridge values. - Marks the GC/Wii seed field not applicable for the Xbox reference-auth path. - Uses the copied reference dumper's elapsed-time handoff for Xbox runs, eliminating the misleading 0.00-second duration and average-rate output. - Removes the inner DumpXboxGameDisc STOP UNIT call. Embedded runs now issue exactly one final STOP UNIT from FriiDump after Redump verification; standalone bridge runs retain cleanup ownership before closing their handle. - Live evidence basis: Red Faction II[TQ00501A] completed as a 7,825,162,240-byte reconstructed XGD1 image, produced finalized four-hash evidence, atomically wrote schema-2 NO MATCH evidence against 2,689 Xbox DAT entries, and exposed the summary/duplicate-cleanup defects corrected here. 2026-07-17 - FriiDump 0.5.3.8 Xbox reference-path Redump evidence handoff * Routed successful GDR-8050L/cross-flashed GDR-8163B full-disc ISO results into the shared Redump DAT verifier and atomic schema-2 evidence report. * Added an explicit result contract carrying the actual finalized output path, byte count, output sectors, CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 from the copied Xbox reference dumper into FriiDump's front end. * Reused the reference dumper's existing finalized full-file hash pass; the 7.29 GiB Xbox ISO is not reread solely for DAT verification. * Corrected the copied DumpXboxGameDisc/bridge success handoff so FriiDump now receives the real dump/write result rather than assuming success after the call returns. * Kept the active target log open across the bridge return so shared Redump evidence and the final validation summary remain in the same Xbox run log. * Added `hash_source` and `representation_note` to schema-2 reports. Xbox reports state that successful acquisition and exact Redump hash identity are separate claims because documented synthetic XGD1 ranges may prevent a match. * Confirmed the prior live Red Faction II reconstructed hashes produce the expected `NO EXACT MATCH` result against the current Xbox DAT: 2,626 same-size entries and zero CRC32/MD5/SHA-1 correlations. * Kept Xbox `-X` excluded from DAT verification because XISO is not a full Redump disc image. * Recorded the independent Super Smash Bros. Melee (USA) (En,Ja) (Rev 2) live validation: seed retrieval 3 seconds, full dump and STOP UNIT OK, and exact Redump match across size, CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1. * No firmware update, write, flash, erase, 3B06, 3B07, or FLASHUP path was added or modified. 2026-07-17 - FriiDump 0.5.3.7 PFES-aligned Redump evidence reporting * Replaced the compact MATCH/NO MATCH block with a field-by-field evidence presentation for image size, CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1. * Added explicit overall conclusions and confidence statements, including `VERIFIED AGAINST REDUMP` / `Exact archive match` for exact matches. * Added a closest-candidate path only when at least one hash correlates; when no hash correlates, FriiDump reports aggregate field-match counts instead of presenting an arbitrary same-size disc. * Advanced the Redump report to schema 2 while preserving the original top-level status/output/hash fields for compatibility. * Added SHA-256, expected DAT values, per-field PASS/FAIL evidence, match kind, match counts, overall conclusion, and confidence to the JSON report. * Corrected report/log separation: JSON structural writes no longer pass through the logged `fprintf` wrapper, so the run log no longer contains an incomplete mirror with omitted string values. * Reports are now written to a sibling `.tmp` file, flushed/synchronized, closed, and atomically moved over the final path. A failed write leaves the previous complete report untouched. * Documented the existing Xbox scope boundary accurately: the copied GDR-8050L reference-dumper bridge keeps its own full-file hash/sidecar path and is not yet routed through this DAT-verifier report. * Recorded a live GCC4244/B101 Sonic Mega Collection dump: media preflight OK, seed retrieval 3 seconds, full dump OK, STOP UNIT OK, 2324.52 seconds, 2156.33 MiB/h, and exact Redump verification. Exact B101 parser metadata remains pending analyzer results; no parser profile was promoted here. * No firmware update, write, flash, erase, 3B06, 3B07, or FLASHUP path was added or modified. 2026-07-17 - FriiDump 0.5.3.6 automatic Redump DAT verification * Added automatic post-dump verification against Redump Logiqx XML DAT files. * Bundled stable GameCube, Wii, and Xbox DAT paths under `redump_dat/`. * A positive match requires output size, CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1 to agree; SHA-256 remains printed as a local integrity hash. * Added `--redump-dat-dir `, `--redump-report `, and `--no-redump-verify`. * Added JSON reporting with DAT path, entries scanned, exact-match count, Redump game/ROM names, output hashes, size, and status. * DAT absence or a no-match result is reported clearly without deleting the output or changing a completed read into a destructive/error path. * No firmware update, write, flash, erase, 3B06, 3B07, or FLASHUP path was added or modified. 2026-07-10 - FriiDump 0.5.3.5 * Promoted live INQUIRY `HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD GCC4244/B103` to `known_supported_profile_hardening_live_validated`. * Recorded exact GCC-4244N B103 Stage5B profile evidence: JCS3 tokens, CDB base 0x894, gate 0x900386FB. * Recorded successful media preflight, 4-second seed retrieval, full Sonic Mega Collection dump, STOP UNIT, and Redump-matching hashes. * Recorded 2329.16-second runtime and 2152.04 MiB/h observed average. * Added FriiDump 0.5.3.5 consolidated HLDS live-validation report and advanced the next test target to GCC-4243N. 2026-07-08 - HLDS profile documentation sync v58 * README now documents the Stage5B-promoted HLDS 0xE7 profile rows added in v57: GCC-4244N B103 and GDR-8163B revisions 0B30, 0D20, 0E15, 0L20, 0L23, 0L30, and 0M26. * README now documents --hlds-profile-report and records the validated GDR-8163B 0L30 Sonic Mega Collection dump in the observed fleet table. * ChangeLog now records the v57 profile-table update so package docs match the code. 2026-07-08 - HLDS promoted parser-signature profile update v57 * Added GCC-4244N B103 as a promoted Stage5B E7 parser-signature profile using CDB base 0x894, gate 0x900386FB, and tokens HL;IT;RPC;RPC_JCS3;RPC_SUFFIX. * Promoted the observed GDR-8163B inventory variants from family fallback rows to exact parser-signature profile rows: 0B30, 0D20, 0E15, 0L20, 0L23, 0L30, and 0M26. * Recorded the exact GDR-8163B CDB/gate evidence: 0B30 0x5E0/0x90025030, 0D20 0x5E0/0x90024AE7, 0E15 0x5D8/0x900247D1, 0L20 0x5E0/0x90024C8F, 0L23 0x5E0/0x90024D5A, 0L30 0x5E0/0x90025021, and 0M26 0x5E0/0x90024FF7. * Kept the static CDB/gate fields as report/evidence metadata only; FriiDump does not use them as host-side commands or runtime addresses. * No FLASHUP, 3B06, 3B07, updater, write, flash, erase, or commit paths were added or touched. 2026-07-01 - HLDS 0xE7 log-noise cleanup * GDR-8050L modified-0xE7 no-prefetch read-schedule logging is now emitted once per run/profile selection instead of once per read chunk. * Accelerated-profile fallback resets the one-shot schedule log so the fallback profile is still visible exactly once. 2026-06-30 / GDR-8050L + GDR-8081N probe v2 * Fixed the modified GDR-8050L speed-probe-pending profile so it defaults to Method 8; the prior combined build could still present/run like the static single-window fallback. * Made seed cracking fail the run when the experimental GDR-8081N cache-profile probe cannot validate any candidate, instead of continuing after a failed probe. * Improved visible probe logging so the first probe line starts on a fresh line after the seed-retrieval prompt. 2026-06-30 / GDR-8050L speed-probe visibility fix * Corrected the GDR-8050L modified-0xE7 speed-probe build so the initial drive info reports an explicit speed-probe-pending profile instead of looking like the old static single-window fallback. * Probe status is now printed with direct visible output even in non-VERBOSE builds, so runs show each GDR-8050L/GDR-8081N candidate and the selected profile during the seed-retrieval phase. 2026-06-30 / seed-retrieval elapsed timer * Added elapsed timing to the GC/Wii seed retrieval line. The console/log now reports `Retrieving disc seeds, this might take a while... [Elapsed:HH:MM:SS] OK` or the same elapsed marker before `Failed`. * Added `Seed elapsed` to the HLDS 0xE7 validation summary. * Documented seed-retrieval expectations and kept timeout behavior manual/operational rather than adding a hard timeout that could interrupt a blocked optical-drive I/O command unsafely. 2026-06-30 / combined GDR-8081N probe + GDR-8050L speed-probe update * Combined the GDR-8081N experimental 0xE7 cache-profile probe layer with a GDR-8050L modified-firmware speed probe so two fleet tests can be run from the same source package. * GDR-8050L modified 0xE7 now keeps the proven 0x80000000 one-window/no-prefetch profile as fallback, but probes guarded no-prefetch 3-window, 2-window, and 5-window candidates before seed cracking. * If an accelerated GDR-8050L profile later fails during dumping, FriiDump logs the failure and falls back to the proven single-window profile for the rest of the run. * GDR-8081N remains experimental: it is recognized as a candidate, enters the seed path, and probes multiple cache profiles rather than being advertised as confirmed GC/Wii support. * README wording now clarifies that GDR-3120L support means the Xbox ripping path is preserved; it is not claimed as a GC/Wii-tested drive. 2026-06-30 / GDR-8081N experimental 0xE7 probe layer * Added GDR8081N/GDR-8081N as an experimental HLDS 0xE7 GC/Wii candidate. * Added a small runtime cache-profile probe before seed cracking: Type4-derived 0x80000000/5-window, single-window 0x80000000, Type1-base 0x00a13000, and a moving-cache candidate 0x7fff7f00. * Fixed unsupported-drive HLDS profile display by zero-initializing dvd_drive state and returning zero cache/window fields when no 0xE7 profile is active. 2026-06-30 / GDR-8050L modified 0xE7 GC/Wii test profile * Added a special HLDS profile for GDR8050L/GDR-8050L drives running cross-flashed or modified firmware with 0xE7 memdump support added. * The special profile keeps the Type4 cache geometry, base 0x80000000 and five 16-sector memory windows, but defaults GC/Wii tests to Method 8. * Stock GDR-8050L firmware is still documented as Xbox-path only; this GC/Wii path is explicitly a modified-firmware experiment and does not replace the existing GDR-8050L challenge-table Xbox dumper or GDR-3120L vendor-unlock path. FriiDump 0.5.3.2 HLDS 0xE7 validation summary and speed-log update - Added an end-of-run HLDS 0xE7 validation summary for GC/Wii dumping. - The summary records model, DIC-style profile, cache base, memory-window count, seed-read status, dump status, STOP UNIT status, duration, and observed average ISO-payload speed. - Documented observed Sonic Mega Collection validation speeds for GCC-4244N/B103 and GCC-4243N/A102, with GCC-4160N/0010 left as in-progress pending hash verification. 2026-06-29 / HLDS 0xE7 AutoPlay warning * Added explicit Windows AutoPlay warning before non-Xbox HLDS 0xE7 GC/Wii volume-lock and seed reads. * GCC-4160N Type1 testing confirmed users may need to disable AutoPlay and close File Explorer/"insert a disc" dialogs even when FriiDump applies the shared volume guard. FriiDump 0.5.3.2 HLDS 0xE7 DIC profile-layer update - Added a DIC-style HLDS 0xE7 profile layer for GC/Wii cache dumping. - Type1 GCC-4160N/GCC-4240N now use cache base 0x00a13000 with one 16-sector memory window. - Type3/Type4 retain cache base 0x80000000 with five 16-sector memory windows. - GCC-4241N/GCC-4242N are identified as Type2 experimental profiles but are not yet promoted to DIC-equivalent support. - Command/method logging now prints the selected HLDS 0xE7 profile, cache base, and memory-window count. - GDR-3120L Xbox ripping support remains on the explicit vendor lock/unlock path; unsupported Xbox-forced drives still fail fast rather than falling back to GC/Wii methods. 0.5.3.2-gcc4243n-method8-split-recovery (29/06/2026) - Added Method 8 split recovery for GCC-4243N/GCC-4244N GC/Wii dumping. After normal Method 8 and dump-level retries fail for a 16-sector block, FriiDump now tries to reconstruct that block using 8-, 4-, 2-, then 1-sector streaming chunks, validates the rebuilt block with the existing unscrambler/EDC path, and logs every attempted subrange. - Preserved the shared FriiDump/Xbox log path and the GDR-3120L FF 08 01 Xbox vendor lock/unlock path. - Confirmed the DIC source lists TSSTcorp/Samsung Kreon-firmware candidates and GSA-4163B as an Xbox swap candidate; TSST/Kreon candidates remain recognized as vendor-unlock experiment profiles, while GSA-4163B remains documented as a separate swap-workflow target rather than being misrouted into the vendor-unlock path. > jtryba / ChatGPT FriiDump 0.5.3.2 GCC-4243/4244 default path and shared logging update - Promoted HLDS GCC-4243N/GCC4243* and GCC-4244N/GCC4244* drives to Hitachi command 2 / Method 8 by default for GC/Wii dumping. GCC-4244N was validated with Sonic Mega Collection; GCC-4243N is routed to the same path for the next fleet test. - Extended the existing Xbox reference logger into a shared FriiDump run logger. Every invocation now creates a log: `.log` when an output file is known, `friidump_.log` when only a drive is known, otherwise `friidump.log`. - Kept GDR-3120L Xbox ripping support on the FF 08 01 vendor lock/unlock path. - Forced Xbox/XGD mode now refuses non-supported Xbox unlock profiles instead of falling back to GC/Wii dumping methods. 2026-06-29 jtryba * libfriidump/xbox_ref/utils.c: Add SHA-256 to the copied GDR-8050L reference full-file hash calculation, console/log summary, and XDVD/media sidecar hash metadata. * src/friidump.c: Suppress the legacy FriiDump hash footer for the GDR-8050L copied-reference path so empty CRC32/MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256 lines are not printed after the authoritative Xbox reference summary. 2026-06-28 jtryba / ChatGPT * libfriidump/xbox_ref/xbox_ref_log.[ch], libfriidump/xbox_ref/utils.c: Keep carriage-return progress updates on the console only. The GDR-8050L log now remains a line-oriented diagnostic record with SCSI dumps, phase markers, hash summaries, metadata writes, and final elapsed time, instead of recording every transient progress repaint as a separate line. Full READ DVD STRUCTURE 0xAD payloads remain untruncated in the log. 2026-06-29 jtryba * GDR-8050L reference hook: preserve the original dumper timing sleeps exactly (tray-cycle 3000 ms, readiness settle 1500 ms or 10000 ms fallback, RefreshVolume's 1000 ms plus the explicit post-refresh 2000 ms settle). * Xbox/GDR-8050L filename behavior now matches the reference dumper: the first unlock/metadata pass derives Title[MediaID].iso/.xiso from the XBE title and DMI media ID by default. Supplying -i or -X is an explicit filename override; bare -i or bare -X uses the derived name. * If FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME fails, report that the copied reference dumper treats it as fatal before XBE/title probing, instead of collapsing the error into a generic sector 0..15 dump failure. 2026-06-28 jtryba * GDR-8050L Xbox redump/XISO path: dispatch native Windows runs directly into a copied-in reference implementation from the original Xbox dumper (main.c/utils.c/unlock.c helpers) instead of approximating the state machine inside FriiDump's generic read loop. * Preserve GDR-3120L on the separate FF 08 01 vendor command path and leave non-native drives on FriiDump's existing command/method fallback behavior. * Keep STOP UNIT/spin-down cleanup after the reference dump attempt. 2026-06-29 jtryba * libfriidump/dumper.c, libfriidump/dvd_drive.c, libfriidump/disc.c: Align the GDR-8050L Xbox redump state machine more literally with the reference dumper. UnlockDrive() calls are treated as required state actions rather than fatal capacity gates; RefreshVolume/settle/ready/speed/volume-lock behavior is mirrored for the post-media-change metadata phase; STOP UNIT is reserved for final cleanup. * src/friidump.c: Initialize Xbox dump failure-sector reporting before setup begins. FriiDump 0.5.3.2 GDR-8050L main.c alignment follow-up - Relaxed the GDR-8050L UnlockDrive() port to match the original dumper: the final READ CAPACITY observation is diagnostic, not a fatal condition. This allows the first handshake to prime the drive before the required media-change event instead of failing early while the visible DVD-video view still reports 6,992 sectors. - Added visible stage messages for the GDR-8050L redump path: primary handshake, media-cycle, re-handshake, metadata/auth kick, video-view restore, and final game-view handshake. - Changed the GDR-8050L redump 32-sector game lead-in to the original dumper's zero-fill behavior. The lead-in read/fallback experiment remains for non-8050L Xbox strategies. - Preserved GDR-3120L on the separate FF 08 01 vendor lock-state path and kept non-native drives on FriiDump's original behavior unless Xbox mode is forced. > jtryba FriiDump 0.5.3.2 Xbox flow/build follow-up - Corrected the GDR-8050L redump-style state machine to follow the original dumper order: unlock/read game metadata, media-cycle back to the visible DVD-video view, capture video L0/L1, unlock again, read game lead-in/game data, then write PFI/DMI/redump JSON. - Added START STOP UNIT LoEj tray-cycle support for the GDR-8050L redump path. - Added unconditional STOP UNIT / spin-down cleanup after dump attempts, on success or failure. - Clarified docs to avoid describing the DVD-video section itself as locked; the video section is the normal visible DVD-video view. 0.5.3.2 (28/06/2026) - Added Xbox redump retry/recovery kicks around GDR-8050L view-switch reads, mirroring the original dumper cadence: re-trigger auth, set maximum speed, and issue harmless READ(10) probes before retrying game-view reads. - Added visible Xbox failure diagnostics that report the failing phase, source LBA, and reconstructed output LBA even in non-VERBOSE builds. - Improved Xbox redump failure reporting so the generic final sector range no longer always falls back to 0..15 after a later layout phase fails. > jtryba 0.5.3.2 (28/06/2026) - Fixed forced Xbox/XGD (`-T 4`) routing so GDR-8050L/GDR-3120L dumps use the native Xbox direct MMC/SCSI path instead of displaying or selecting the original GC/Wii Hitachi command 2 / method 9 memdump path. - Reworded the runtime status text: Xbox initialization no longer says "Retrieving disc seeds", because seed cracking is only for GC/Wii paths. - Xbox `-i` now prints that it is writing an Xbox/XGD redump-style ISO. - Added single-sector READ(10) fallback inside Xbox redump range reads so visible DVD-video boundaries and other edge ranges are retried like the original dumper before the dump is declared failed. - Preserved the program version at 0.5.3.2; the preceding MSVC-only build-task refresh did not receive a program version bump. > jtryba 0.5.3.2 (28/06/2026) - Added `-D` / `--dvd` as a clear standard DVD-ROM mode available to all drives. It is equivalent to forcing disc type `-T 3` and uses FriiDump's original DVD/raw/ISO path rather than Xbox unlock or metadata paths. - Added DiscImageCreator-compatible Original Xbox/XGD1 redump layout constants to the redump JSON: XBOX_SIZE 3,820,880 sectors, layer break LBA 1,913,776, DVD start PSN 0x30000, Xbox/game start PSN 0x60600, and output game start LBA 0x30600 / 198144. - Added a runtime sanity check that the hardcoded Xbox redump layout still matches the DiscImageCreator-compatible XGD1 constants before writing an Xbox redump-style ISO. - Updated README, README.technical, XBOX.md, options, and CLI help to make standard DVD dumping and Xbox redump/XISO dumping commands clearer. > jtryba 0.5.3.1 (28/06/2026) - Added GDR-3120L/Kreon-style vendor helpers: get feature list (`FF 08 01 10`), set lock state 0/2 (`FF 08 01 11 xx`), and disable error-skip (`FF 08 01 15 00`) before dumping. - Added Samsung/Kreon-style Xbox-capable candidates TS-H352C, TS-H353A, SH-D162C, SH-D162D, SH-D163A, and SH-D163B for forced Xbox experiments when the drive firmware supports the FF 08 01 command family. - Expanded the Hitachi-LG supported-drive list for GC/Wii profiles to include GDR-8082N/8083N/8084N, GDR-8161B/8162B/8163B/8164B, GCC-4160N/4240N/4243N/4244N/4247N, with notes for probable/error-prone related models; added GSA-4163B as an experimental Hitachi-LG profile. - Added AUTHORS credit for scsi1.pas / The Specialist and the xboxhacker.net contributors for the GDR-8050L challenge-table handshake, and DiscImageCreator reference credit for the FF 08 01 vendor lock-state path. - Added native Xbox/XGD disc support. - Added Xbox disc type selector: `-T 4`. - Added GDR-8050L profile with challenge-table handshake, partition unlock, sticky descramble enablement, and direct 2048-byte READ(10) dumping. - Corrected the GDR-3120L profile to use the DiscImageCreator-style FF 08 01 vendor feature-list and lock-state command family instead of treating it as a plain direct READ(10) drive. - Changed Xbox `-i` output from a simple unlocked host-view copy to a redump-style Original Xbox/XGD1 2048-byte-sector reconstruction with locked video L0/L1, padding, 32-sector game lead-in, and unlocked game/XDVDFS data. - Deferred the GDR-8050L unlock until dump time so redump-style ISO output can capture the visible DVD-video view before switching to the unlocked game view. - Added optional Xbox redump metadata output: `.pfi.bin`, `.dmi.bin`, and `.redump.json` next to Xbox `-i` ISO dumps when the drive exposes PFI/DMI. - Xbox `-i` and `-X` both attempt to read the 32-sector game lead-in and zero-fill only unreadable lead-in sectors. - Confirmed non-Xbox drives remain on FriiDump's original autodetection and command/method paths unless Xbox mode is explicitly forced with `-T 4`. - Added Xbox XISO output mode: `-X ` / `--xiso `. - XISO output probes XDVDFS at LBA 306112, falls back to LBA 32, copies dual-layer retail-style images through LBA 1913920, and uses the XDVDFS VolumeSize byte field for single-layer/homebrew-style images. - XISO output attempts to read the 32-sector lead-in from the active drive view and zero-fills only unreadable lead-in sectors. - Added MMC/SCSI helpers for READ CAPACITY(10), READ(10), MODE SENSE(10), MODE SELECT(10), MODE SELECT(6), READ DVD STRUCTURE, and TEST UNIT READY. - Updated documentation for Xbox usage, options, output modes, and the GDR-8050L handshake. - Fixed `-A` / `--allmethods` so each command/method attempt opens a fresh drive/disc object and binds the command-specific memory-dump function before testing the method. The sweep now includes Xbox direct READ(10) method 10. - Fixed progress timing/statistics propagation from the dump routine to the command-line front-end. - Fixed the command-line process return code so successful operations return `EXIT_SUCCESS` and failures return `EXIT_FAILURE`. - Replaced the legacy MD5 and SHA-1 hash implementations with the fixed implementations from the merged hash-upgrade branch. - Added SHA-256 hashing/reporting for raw ISO, unscrambled ISO, and Xbox XISO outputs while preserving existing CRC32/MD5/SHA-1 reporting. - Updated the GDR-8050L challenge-table path to use the fixed SHA-1 implementation for its RC4 key derivation. > jtryba 0.5.3 (15/03/2010) - Fixed failing after 1st DL media layer with non-Hitachi methods. - Fixed still hashing with 'nohash' parameter when resuming. - Fixed resuming larger files (~4 GB). - Fixed unscrambling larger files. - Faster file unscrambling. - Slight modifications to methods; possible performance increase with Hitachi based devices. - Restructured methods and added some new ones. - Added layer break information. - Added current position output when error occurs. - Added SH-D162A, SH-D162B, SH-D162C & SH-D162D as supported. > Jackal, gorelord4e, themabus 0.5.2 (10/01/2010) - Corrected handling of standard DVDs (type should be forced to 3, when dumping or unscrambling). - Better response to 'speed' parameter. - Uniform raw output for all devices: unscrambled data + headers. - Slight performance increase (~1650 MB/h on LH-18A1H). - Added LH-18A1P, LH-20A1H, LH-20A1P to list of supported devices. > Jackal, themabus 0.5.1 (01/12/2009) - New command 'vanilla 2384'. - Restructured methods, some now support optional parameters. - Ability to select standard DVDs as source. - Limited recognized Lite-On drives to LH-18A1H. > Jackal, themabus 0.5.0 (27/11/2009) - Regions: Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, PAL-X, PAL-Y. - Updated publisher list from http://wiitdb.com/Company/HomePage - Included GDR8082N & GDR8161B as supported Hitachi drives. - Lite-On, Renesas & vanilla memory buffer access commands. Lite-On tested on LH-18A1H, should work on many more (LH*, SH, DH*, DW* & possibly other MediaTek drives) - Shifted methods 1..4 to 0..3 and added new ones 4..6 Associated known drives with default methods. - Additional commandline parameters: stop, speed, command, type, size - Some minor changes and fixes. > Jackal, Truman, themabus 0.4 (08/03/2008) - Support for DL Wii DVDs. > mado3689 0.3 (06/10/2007) - First public release. Build packaging note: - Fixed direct MSVC response-file build for copied GDR-8050L reference hook by avoiding duplicate sha1.obj output names and by exporting disc_get_device()/dvd_get_device(). 2026-06-29 / HLDS 0xE7 Windows volume guard --------------------------------------------- * The existing Xbox FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME-style guard is now exposed as a shared FriiDump volume lock helper. * HLDS 0xE7 GC/Wii paths apply the guard before disc seed retrieval, so Windows Explorer/AutoPlay is less likely to interrupt GCC-4160N/GCC-4240N Type1 seed reads with an "insert a disc" prompt. * The guard is warning-only: if Windows already owns a transient handle, FriiDump logs the failure and continues so the hardware read result remains authoritative. 2026-06-30 / GCC-4160N Type1 confirmed --------------------------------------- * Updated observed Sonic Mega Collection (US) fleet results: GCC-4160N/0010 Type1 (0x00a13000, one memory window) completed a verified matching dump. * Recorded observed rate 1613.08 MB/h and total runtime 3127.98 seconds. * Documented that AutoPlay had to be disabled for reliable GCC-4160N seed retrieval even though the shared volume guard succeeded. 2026-07-01 HLDS 0xE7 GDR-8081N scan mode * Added --hlds-e7-scan / --scan-log for fast HIT 0xE7 cache-base discovery without seed cracking or full dumping. * The scan fills the drive cache with tiny reads, tries candidate cache/memdump bases, scores raw-sector ID headers, and writes a JSON report. * Seeded GDR-8081N scan candidates from known HLDS families plus first-pass GDR-8081N firmware/binary constants and aliases. * Preserved GDR-8050L modified-firmware read-quiet behavior and GDR-3120L Xbox-only support wording. 2026-07-10 - FriiDump 0.5.3.3 * Added media-ready preflight before disc detection and GC/Wii seed retrieval. * TEST UNIT READY now blocks vendor seed/cache commands when no disc is present. * Added bounded retry for transient becoming-ready / unit-attention states. * Added clear no-disc and not-ready sense reporting. * Added live INQUIRY alias `GCC4244/B103` for the promoted GCC-4244N B103 profile. * Promoted the successfully validated GDR-8163B 0L20, 0D20, 0B30, 0E15, and 0M26 rows to live-validated status; retained 0L30 live validation. * Added a consolidated real-hardware validation report with Redump comparisons. 2026-07-10 - FriiDump 0.5.3.4 * Corrected Windows/Linux MMC error semantics: ignore_errors now suppresses diagnostics only and no longer converts failed commands into success. * Windows SCSI pass-through now treats non-GOOD SCSI status as command failure even when DeviceIoControl succeeds. * Strengthened media preflight: TEST UNIT READY is followed by READ CAPACITY(10), requiring a nonzero 2048-byte logical-block medium before vendor seed/cache commands. * Fixed empty-tray false positive observed on HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD GCC4244/B103 over USB. * Added completed GDR-8163B 0L23 Redump-matching validation result.
