------------------------------[XCAT 1.02]----------------------------


Release info:
-------------
  Xbox Content Archive Tool (XCAT) is a utility that runs directly on an Xbox console to
  assist in finding unarchived DLC and other lost content. When run, the application will
  scan the Xbox hard drive for any content that has yet to be archived and upload it
  directly to the servers of the XCAT Team for later analysis, sorting, and archival.


Using XCAT:
-----------
  1. Transfer the XCAT XBE file to the console via FTP, memory card, DVD, or Endgame exploit.
  2. Ensure the console has internet access.
  3. Run the XBE and follow the prompts.
  4. Depending on the amount of data stored on the hard disk it may take an hour or more to
     scan and perform any uploads.


Privacy Disclaimer:
-------------------

  Your Privacy Matters
  Before proceeding, please be aware that XCAT is designed to scan your Xbox hard drive for
  the purpose of archiving. During this process, XCAT may identify and upload files that
  are not currently archived.

  What We Collect
  XCAT automatically uploads unarchived files discovered during the scan as well as unique
  console identifiers. No other data is collected or uploaded without your direct action.

  Your Choices
  You have control over your data. If you do not wish to have any unarchived files uploaded,
  please exit this application by selecting the option below. By choosing to continue, you
  are consenting to the automatic upload of these files.

Hi Harcroft, Just running XCAT on a newly built HDD and so far I'm at 397 files indexed (1%) and I have 86 files newly archived!

I'm surprised at this because everything on this HDD was obtained from the Internet only recently.
Im curious now if there is any way for me to see exactly what the content is that it has found?

 

XCAT will hash the following locations and folders in this order:

• C:\
• E:\
• F:\apps\
• F:\applications\
• F:\games\
• G:\apps\
• G:\applications\
• G:\games\
• X:\
• Y:\
• Z:\

Early on during the scan it's likely finding your savedgames in E:\UDATA\
If you have a lot of Redump or other clean game rips on your HDD XCAT will scan those but wont upload any of them.
The next update for XCAT will showing what file it's currently processing. As for seeing exactly what's on your HDD, you have access to your hard drive, you can look at the contents at any time.
There may be a future option to download a report of any new files uploaded, but it's not a high priority yet.

 

XCAT update v1.02 is live now!
The long pause between uploaded batches of files is fixed and there's now a display showing what file you are currently uploading.

 

Currently at 300 files newly archived and still uploading right now, albeit slowly. Neat tool

 

Hello. Really appreciate the work you're doing to get DLC archived. Just wanted to say that Xcat 1.02 is crashing my Wifi. I have my Xbox connected thru an ethernet powerline to my router. At one exact point in the hashing/uploading, at a very specific bite number, Xcat will crash my Xfinity wifi. All devices lose connection and I have to restart my router. I have tested it multiple times to confirm it is Xcat. Hopefully this is helpful. Thanks.
