This is my initial attempt at implementing a repair mechanism into MPF for incomplete Xbox/360 SS files. It is a C# implementation of my (research-only) python script here: https://github.com/Deterous/ParseXboxMetadata/blob/main/RepairSS.py
I use the built-in Cryptography library for the AES computation, and a bunch of inscrutable logic for checking and shuffling around data. I still need to test this, but in the meantime a review of the code changes would be nice.
Note: This is necessary for OmniDrive SS dumps, as they are always incomplete. It is also required for any Kreon redumper dumps that are incomplete (such as when dumping with --kreon-partial-ss or just an unlucky SS read that failed for some reason).
Extra note: While this logic ideally runs in redumper not MPF, implementing the AES code in redumper's codebase is currently infeasible. MPF is the next best place.
