hey there,is there anyway to force the write speed to 2.4x with memorex,it keeps going to 4x,the settings are all the way the tut has it here,my verbs do a 2.4x,,thanks

Great tutorial!
Here's my results using the following discs :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unique Disc Identifier : [DVD+R-DL:RICOHJPN-D01-067]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disc & Book Type : [DVD+R DL] - [DVD-ROM]
Manufacturer Name : [Ricoh Co. Ltd.]
Manufacturer ID : [RICOHJPN]
Media Type ID : [D01]
Product Revision : [067]
Blank Disc Capacity : [4,173,824 Sectors = 8.55 GB (7.96 GiB)]
Recording Speeds : [2.4x , 3.3x-8x]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ DVD Identifier V5.2.0 - http://DVD.Identifier.CDfreaks.com ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not so bad, the big spike is on the layerbreak and clearly a difference on the 2nd layer.
Edit: Forgot to say, burnt at 2.4x.

Just burnt another today, using disks with the same media ID and got this :
Not so good.
Didn't change any settings, strange.

Thanks! This helped me out a lot! For some reason Verbs don't work and they never install to the xbox hd. I finally got my MW3 backup working after almost 8 coasters. I got it working with a Ritek but the KProbe readings weren't all that great but atleast it's working!

Is the correct drive listed in the drop-down list at the very top of the program window? If you've got more than one drive installed in your PC, you have to make sure you select the correct one: -

Here's my result using a different cheap media
Much better than the others but the PIF max could be better this was using the settings in the tutorial. I'm going to try another with forced HT on. I have verbs but I'm just experimenting.

total star works like a charm, i have been tearing my hair out for the last few weeks and reeding post after post and was getting constant failures ive burned skyrim 6 times now all failed. just followed your tut and it burned perfectly im using arita but media code is the same as memorex
ritek s04-66
pi avg is 28.99
pif avg is 0.63
pi and pif do spike at the layer break pi to 150 pif to 9 also pi spikes to 300 at the edge of the disk but i dont play live so i dont care. i also don't believe that pi and pif have anything to-do with live bans but that just my opinion
thanks again for an excellent tut :0)

Download the "SMART-BURN Media Check Program for Optical Storage Products " .
Use this utilities to enable the below 2 functions:
"Force Hyper Tuning" & "Online Hyper Tuning"
Now give it a try on your Non Verbs disk on burning. Don't forget to disable these two function when using Verbs disk .

Good to hear that this guide is still helping people burn their XGD3 images on cheaper media. To date, other than reliability, concerns about detectability by Microsoft between high quality and low quality media burns have been a non-issue...and hopefully, continues to be.
"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

I get pretty good results on Ritek and Aone discs using the tutorial. I'm starting to not care about xbox live any more myself now I'm happy enough to have a working xbox and some good games that work to play on it.

For me Verbatims work fine, but I get crappy results every single time with Memorex (RITEK S04-066) no matter how I tweak the settings (about 20 burns so far). I would love to be able to use these Memorex discs because I've got about 550 of them.

Hey MRGREASER you are the man! I did explore a few different options, But I finally got it to work following EVERYTHING you said, EXCEPT I unchecked verify because the verify would keep failing at 50 percent not the game the verify. Anyhow memorex media 1has124 flashed with c4evas code plus rincon oo.o1 data. THANKS!

A little late, but I can confirm this method works flawlessly on my TDK Ritek S04-66 discs burning the newest XGD3 games to use on iXtreme LT3.0+.

Since this still seems to be pretty recent, just thought I'd post and say thanks. I have an iHAS124B and I tried 2 different burns using the same media. The first was before following your guide, and resulted in a coaster. The second burn came out good and had very small PI/PIF deviations from the recommended. Thanks for making this guide, as it helped me a lot.
@adrian1747: I have the same discs as you, and I used the RICOHJPN D00-001 2.4 as the replacement for the original MBIPG slot. Turned out pretty well.
@ThatOneGuy: If I'm understanding what's happening when you follow this guide, what ends up happening is you are replacing the firmware's burn speed for your disc id and it forces it to burn at 2.4x speed. My media was marked as 4x, 6x, and 8x in the unmodified firmware, and would not accept any speeds but those. After editing the firmware, my discs burn at 2.4x and don't give me an XGD3 coaster.
