--------------------------------------------------------- Maximus - 360 FIRMWARE TOOLBOX for Windows Ver 1.0 --------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IS IT ? ---------- A graphical tool to handle several common dvd-drive firmware tasks. (yep, another one !) It is kinda annoying having going to MS-DOS to do firmcrypt (encrypt or decrypt) operations, or having to open the file with an hexeditor to know if it is crypted or not, or to copy-paste the keys. Dont get me wrong, I don't have anything against KDX and other tools, it is just that I built mine fitting my own needs and I want to share. FEATURES: --------- - Do common firmware tasks with a mouse click - Supports Samsung and Hitachi firmwares All Versions - Shows Vendor, ROM version and also if its CRYPTED or NOT - Allow crypt or decrypt the files - Shows the 16 byte Keys not matter if the file is Crypted - Allow copy-paste of the keys between firmare not matter if they are crypted or not or if they are different vendor - Allows adding of TAGS to a KEY like Owner, Serial No, Date. (Dont worry, the tags are not saved onto firmware file) - Fully Integrated with Windows Context Menu (like winrar) - Fully Supports 512 KB firmwares (2 banks) INSTALLATION: --------------- - Unzip contents on the folder you like - Open application and go to Options->Enable Windows Context Menu - Close application HOW TO USE: ------------------ - To open a file you can just on Windows Explorer do Right Click and choose "Open with Firmware Toolbox", or you can first launch the application and do File-Open menu or simply drag a file from your browser to the application. - To encrypt or decrypt a file just open it as above and click the button encrypt or decrypt. - To replace a key just type it or copy-paste it into the key textbox and click on "Replace Key" - To set or replace Tag Data just type it into the Tag Data Section "Save Tag Data". This Tag Data will be show every time you open a file that have the same key. Useful to identify an Owner's Key KNOWN ISSUES: -------------- 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.
