Backed up Games have Problems...

i have an aladdin chipped 1.6 box with m8_16. Some backed up games have issues though. They tend to freeze either right before or right when the loading screen shows up. I used dvd2box on a few games and Qwix on some others. IGR is disabled (in all 3 locations) in evox.ini. Its bugging me a lot and i want to solve it. Any suggestions?

 

Try clearing the CACHE folders on the Xbox

 

Im having the same issue except im a noob. Blitz the league, immediately after the start screen, when I press start, it reacts and then goes to black. No idea why. Gun works but this is my second try with a game.

 

that worked great, thanks

 

i do clear all 4 cache locations, but that doesnt change anything

 

When I first backed up FarCry Instincts I had this problem. I cleared the CACHE folder and that fixed it.

 

yes but if you look at the post directly above you i clearly say that it doesnt help

 

are you copying them from an original disc with
DVD2Xbox? If not what media do you use
and is it +R or -R and speed?

Just curious. I have only done about 12 games so far. I am great with
PS2 stuff but am just now learning all the Xbox stuff. I have done a few with DVD2Xbox and have not had a problem yet.
games i have done are:
Project Gotham Racing 2
Land Of The Dead
Forza Motorsports
Colin Mcrae Rally 2005
Battlefield 2 Modern Combat
Half-Life2 (PAL)
Need For Speed Most Wanted (PAL)
Halo 1 & 2
Gun
call OF Cthulhu
Farcry Instincts

some were with DVD2Xbox and some were extracting an ISO with Craxtion4 and FTP'ing the files to the xbox so i could learn each way.

 

i tried both ways (directly from CD to HD) and creating and extracting an ISO

 

hay steimy whats up??? i use craxtion4 to get the game for xbox and have the iso... i use dvd decrypter, Alcohol 120% and fantom to burn the iso... but it just would not work... when i try to play it it just give me a black screen... little help...

@GuyInAHat

Try the settings below:
IGR OFF (I know you said you disabled this already)
TSR to Disable
Game region to AUTO

You said you tried to:
1. Riped directly from the Xbox DVD to Xbox hard drive.
2. FTPd the game from the Xbox DVD Drive to your computer making an ISO then extracted the ISO.

So on #2 you extracted the ISO into a folder then FTPed to the Xbox HD? are you trying to play the game off the HDD of the Xbox?

If this is the case what DVD games are you having trouble with?

@iluvpot
Maybe if ya stoped smoking pot you could figure out how to do stuff. hehe J/K
How do you backup your games?
Did you try to clear your CACHE folders then try playing the game?

 

iluvpot
well with that username i am not shocked that you can't get
them working....hahahaha just kidding.

It may be that you system doesn't like the media you use or speed you burn. I use the same stuff for Xbox as i did for my PS2 games.
Philips 8X DVD-R burned with DVD Decrypter at 4X
Is your xbox modded, do you have a chip?
Like the PS2 you have to mod it to play back ups.
Once you have the ISO it should be a simple burn. Craxtion4
has done a great job for me creating and extracting ISO's

 

@steimy
I think your dippin in his stash and smokin yourself if your a flyers fan. HAHA J/K

 

lololololol.... may ya r funny... my cuz give me the xbox as a bday gif... and he say its a xecuter2 from xbmc what ever that is...

larrylje

im trying to copy the ISO to a dvd... and when i try to play it it would not work... i just get a black screen...

i could see what you r trying to say steimy.. lol... and its modded... i have other copy games that my cuz give me and they work... also when i copy the copy games that my cuz give me they work but the ones i try to copy they dont work...o ya i do see the games icons of the game on the xbox but when i try to play it it just give me a black screen...
and i dont know what kind of dvd-r i have cuz i just took it for my sis... so do u have to use special dvd???

john

 

they do not have to be special, just good quality brands
I like the 8X DVD-R (Philips or TDK)
Philips,TDK,Taiyo Yuden,Ritek,Verbatim Datalife
those are the brands i see most people using for both
xbox and PS2. Stay clear of Memorex and no-name brands
also have you tried to see if there are any updates for
you burners firmware? that may also solve the problem.
I am fairly new to xbox stuff, but have done plenty of PS2 games,
movies, and about 12 xbox games and have yet to have a problem.
instead of burning them to DVD you might also want to think about
getting a big HDD and installing it, which is real easy if you can
afford one. Then you can FTP the games to the hard drive.
they play so much better off the HDD then from the disc, the load
times are much faster too.
but first just try some of the media i mentioned, and updating your firmware. you may get some working copies.
they have TDK on sale at Circuit City for $7.99 for a 25 pack which is really cheap.

 

thanx steimy... im looking for the firmware...
also after work im going to pick up some tdk dvd...
im going to get a 500gb but not at this time... and im trying to do the dvd so i can sell them at school... and make the money for the hdd...and i can just give a copy of the games to mt friends... u know i luv ps,ps2... i did not like xbox utill my cuz give it to me and show me how to do all kind of thing...i am new to the xbox as will...
thanx for your help... if i have any porblems i will let ya now by this weekend...

You shouldnt be selling copies of games. You can get in big trouble doing that. That is piracy. Anyway in order for others to play the backup of the game they would need to have thier Xbox modded. Again I strongly sugest you not sell copies of Xbox games.

 

hay larrylje and steimy ya would know were i can get a firmware for
sony dvd ew dw d26a... i search at goodle and they r saying that its not a dw d26a and it some other things (JYS2) and they had like mad names... and i dont know what do with that...
and i would not sell the games...just need to make some copy so i can give it to my friends...also all of my friends have modded xbox after looking my xbox... also we was saveing money on games...

thanx for looking out larrylje...

 

ok my dvd drive firmware is updated to the max for now... so i think it may be the dvd-r... will im going to find out this weekend and let ya know...

thanx for all of ya help...
