Simple Game Disc to HDD Copy #16

This is probably the worst and ugliest code you've ever seen. It simply copies all the content from a game disc to a directory on your HDD. GameInstaller aka "Aurora Disc to GOD installer" is great but it does no cooperate with the old OG Xbox games. This script does. The only explained way for old OG Xbox games was through manual selection and copy via File Browser which is not comfortable.

I'm new to Lua but I had to write this script for helping my uncle ripping all his old games and at least it does this.

What I did not manage to solve: a) Find the inserted game's name to suggest a proper directory name (db isn't touched when a new disc is inserted and parsing the .xbe or .xex file wasn't successful so no idea). Workaround: It suggests just iterated directory names. b) Proper aborting / terminating the Aurora copy processes. Workaround: Open tray forces the copy process to abort.

I could not get it to copy my Xbox 360 game.
