Xbox 360 file system cracked

The PI group cracked the Xbox 360 filesystem and released an open-source tool to extract "Xbox 360 ISO" files.

It will NOT work on original discs as a PC DVD-ROM can't read those. Just like the original Xbox (xdvdfs) the 360 does not use the ISO9660 or UDF filesystem for the content on game DVDs. This tools allows you to extract the files from an image in the 'Xbox 360 DVD file system', it does NOT bypass the protection that prevents you from reading an original Xbox 360 disc on your PC.
