Maximus: Xbox 360 Firmware Toolbox for Windows v1.0
For some people, it’s quite bothersome to do firmcrypt operations (whether to encrypt or decrypt) using hexeditor to know if a file is crypted or not, or copy-pasting keys.
Carranzafp came up with a graphical tool to handle several common DVD-drive firmware tasks: Maximus – 360 FIRMWARE TOOLBOX for Windows Ver 1.0. The tool solves above mentioned problems and does common firmware tasks as well with the click of the mouse. Key features include:
- Supports Samsung and Hitachi firmwares (all versions)
- Shows Vendor, ROM version and also if its crypted or not
- Shows the 16 byte Keys no matter if the file is Crypted
- Allows adding of TAGS to a KEY like Owner, Serial No, Date (tags are not saved to firmware file though)
- Fully integrated with Windows Context Menu (like winrar)
- Fully supports 512 KB firmwares (2 banks)
Carranzafp’s tool is very easy to use as it employs screens familiar to Windows user. After extracting the contents to a folder, simply open the application and go to Options. There, click “Enable Windows Context Menu.”
There’s a known bug in the tool: “If the context menu is not shown when you right-click over a file just open the application and do Options-Disable Windows Menu and then Options-Enable Windows Context Menu.” Pls. note that the said tool was built fitting Carranzafp’s own needs. Everyone is free to choose other similar tools.
