how to copy xbox games to dvd

there is alot of info out there and I just get lossed, i have nero, imgburn, craxtion4,and clondxb, what is the easiest way to go about making sure that when you extract the data from the xbox to get the game to work, the closest i have come is created the iso, burned to dvd, displays there is a game but it won't play it. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

if you correctly compiled the xiso then any up to date burner firmware and burning software should do the trick.

I guess that is my problem then how dows one go about doing it correctly?

 

launch Qwix, select 'Create ISO', then tic the option 'Local Folder' then click the ...s at the end of that box to browse for the folder that contains the extracted files. lastly click the 'Create ISO' button and there ya have it.

ok so I created the iso burned to the dvd, loaded it in the xbox, detects that it is a game, hit the a button to load, screen comes up says please wait loading, then just comes back to the main screen again, it's driving me nuts

 

does it matter that I'm using a sony dual/double layer dvd burner?

 

nope. seams you have some issues with the build of the ISO, there are either files missing or the defaultdash.xbe is incorrect

kc

 

ok I got 1 game to work but the one having issue with now is mlb2k5 i take it there is no way of getting around that default xbe issue?

 

if you got the files in ISO format then the xbe should be the correct one, if it came in file format then it should have both xbes included and you just need to delete the one and rename the other prior to building the ISO.

kc

 

what are the names of the xbe files that it should have there is dashupdate.xbe default.xbe, update.xbe

I used quix to create the iso directly from the xbox should i do it differently?

 

would it be eaiser to rip it ot the xbox hd then create the iso from that? if so do you have to rename anything?

 

depending on the program you used to rip to the harddrive it patched the xbe file for harddrive use and it renamed the original, if memory servers me at the moment DVD2XBOX names it default.xbe.original or something to that nature.

kc

 

i would use this to copy them to the hard drive and then use this to burn it

 

I would also like to try and burn a iso that is a tad larger then the 4.7gb its the lateset tomb raider legend game any thoughts??

 

the disc wont quite hold 4.7 its like 4.68 on most so anything bigger more than likely wont fit
