Backup Backups of 360 games guide...

Its not illegal if you own the game, making a backup is fine. If you download them and dont own them, then that is illegal and i dont advise it.

 

Ahh ok,

ive got the samsung drive.

All i need to do is,

put the backup in my smasung drive,
rip how i would an original game and thats it?

right?

-Josh

 

Thats it Josh pop it in, back it up as normal and then for the finishing touch use NME associator and its all done.

 

do i have to use the nme associator even though i dotn have a chip?

sorry im a total noob at backing up back ups and too think im meant to be helping people out and that with there xbox problems!

-Josh

 

Yes, because when you rip a game it is an stealth xtreme iso and the xbox cannot recognise the format. When you convert it to the NME format the Xbox will be able to read it. It wont work any other way.

 

by the way remember you did help me out and point me in the right direction after all the coasters lol. So its the least i can do, no need to be sorry

 

Ok

thanks alot guys

-Josh

 

No probs Josh keep me posted on how you get on

 

for those of us with standalone duplicators...

what about inside a duplicator such as an acard 1 to 1 ?

i have been told if you use writer to writer e.g pioneer 111d dual layer writer top and bottom you can backup a backup is this true ?

 

No because the Pioneer cannot read the disc only the samsung drive does. To be honest your the first person i have heard mention that method.

 

this mesage is to unimatrx or anyone that knows the answer. so if you use the aftermarket samsung burner and the programs you listed you dont have to mod you xbx 360 in anyway shape or form just follow the 4 steps you provided us with

 

Just to make the answer public.

If you have the samsung you still need to mod the 360 as you are playing backups the original firmware on the drive will not allow it otherwise.

 

how would i be able to stealth patch a back-up game?

 

If you want to stealth patch a game i would use Xbox Backup Creator and then you will need NME Associator.

Give me more details about exactly what you are trying to do?

Are you ripping an original game or is this an ISO pulled down off the net?

 

i have the back-up game already burned, but its not stealth patched.
i don't have the original game and i deleted the ISO file before. Can i back-up the back-up game on my computer (like the iso file) then patch it? i'm not to sure.

 

I don't think this was answered....

If I do a 1:1 backup of an already patched version and use clonecd do I have to worry about patching it again?

Thanks for the info.

 

Yes you can backup the backup game, use Schtrom (preferably) to do it or Xbox backup creator. You do not need to stealth patch it if the game is recent it would have already been patched.

However in Xbox Back UP creator under tools you can run a stealth check and it i will tell you. Video will always say Questionable when you do it. If lets say its an old game and is not patched you will need this site to get the SS file used for patching it http://ss.softmodfiles.net/index.php...rity Sectors

also have a read of this forum here its answered

Enjoy

 

You dont need to patch a game that is already patched make sure your dvd supports the book type dvd-rom, the one thats burning that is

 

thanks alot, very helpful

 

no problem, let me know how you get on.
