    So using IsoHacker, i can't make a copy from an original game that i purchased? And if i can, how can i patch with the necessary requirements so that it's stealth? Thanks.

    Iso hacker's copy is only for backups of backups. So no you cant copy the original disc

    The bunch of files should go in their own directory / folder, one of those bunch of files should be a .exe file which is the program, just run it. Click the View ISO Details option, then load the .iso and click continue. The next screen will tell you the compatibilities .

    I have developed a new Mac Xbox 360 ISO Utility (OSx360)... Before I tell you about it, let me tell you what the other mac tools do wrong. I'm not knocking them, just saying what I don't like about them.

    -X360 ISO Hacker and iBurn360 don't verify the disc image.
    -X360 ISO Hacker modifies the disc image to force a layer break. This causes them to be corrupt if used on a pc.
    -No other mac tool performs any Stealth checks!

    I have used all the mac Xbox 360 Tools available, and they all do what they say. My problem is that PC's have much better software available. I set out to make a Mac program that does what the PC programs do.

    I am currently working with Redline99 (developer of Xbox Backup Creator), and I am also using source code from BadSheepy (developer of XDVDMulleter). I also have a few beta testers to help resolve issues.

    OSx360 Features:
    -Burns Xbox 360 Disc Images without modification or patching.
    -Uses Apple's DiscRecording.Framework (same as Disk Utility).
    -Can also use growisofs (a *nix tool that can burn DVD's with a manual layer break)
    -Verifies Xbox 1, Xbox 1 Xtreme, and Xbox 360 disc images.
    -Performs stealth checks, and reports stealth validation. (Xbox 1 Xtreme, Xbox 360)
    -Allows burning disc image even if invalid (some disc images may report invalid when not).
    -Checks Region Flags of disc images. (Xbox 360 only)

    Many more features are coming soon including:
    -Xbox 360 Orignal Disk ripping via KREON Drives
    -Xbox File System Extraction (Partially Complete)
    -Additional Stealth Checks
    -Disc Image Stealth Extraction/Injection (Extraction is Complete)
    -Disc Image Rebuilding

    This software is still in a test phase, but is very functional. I only say it's a test version because of it's limited testing and my constant improvement. Please help me improve the software to make it comparable to it's PC counter parts!

    We appreciate the new effort, I haven't checked out your app yet, but I will be testing it on both mac platforms (intel/ppc) I will let you know any bugs, I find, if any! We appreciate your effort in helping the community, and keep us posted with future releases!!!

    We appreciate it Greatly!!!

    I will keep everyone at afterdawn posted. I have been posting in other forums, but when searching for "burn xbox 360 iso mac" in google, this was the second hit. I hope I can get lots of support from here. So far, most of the bugs reported by users have been fixed and today was the first successful burn with OSx360 on 10.4 ppc (The code to burn the dvd would have worked fine, the problem was some GUI code).

    For a project that was started less than a month ago, it has grown with leaps and bounds!

    I am glad to be part of the AfterDawn community. I have sat on the sidelines too long. This is my gift to you all!

    Before I start working on this, does anyone want OSx360 to support burning non-stealth xbox 1 images that are compatible with xtreme 5.x firmware?

    Personally, I have no use for this but others might. There really is no need to do this since any burning program will write xbox 1 disc images with no issue. I am assuming most users have iXtreme which will not support non-stealth discs.

    that's about it... It will tell you if the image is not stealth or valid, and ask if you wish to continue.

    You can open the image from the open panel or drag and drop.

    It's pretty simple, give it a go!

    You Rock, Wolfienuk!! This software is greatly appreciated but not only me but I am sure all Mac/360 users. Can't wait for future updates and the new features you wrote about.
    Thanks again.

    No problem, spread the news! I should have some video partition checks added by this weekend. I am working on a way to display the actual file tree, and stealth extract/inject is next on the list.

    If you can, email your log file (located in "~/Library/Logs/OSx360.log") to me at

    By the way, If anyone would like to make a new logo/design for OSx360 - please send me an email or pm! I would really like to have a simple yet elegant logo, but I am not that great with graphics.

    Since this topic appeals to mac users, I believe someone out there may be willing to help me out.

    Current project goals:
    -SS/PFI/DMI Extraction/Injection
    -Backup Ripping (Ripping Non-Original Disc to .iso)
    -Backup Disc Stealth Checking (Stealth Check a burned Disc)
    -Video Partition Verification

    Just a quick update: I now have a KREON Drive, and have tested it with XBC in Fusion successfully. I found a lot of good source code on how to issue SCSI commands with Cocoa/Carbon. This means Game Partition Unlocking, SS Extraction, DMI Extraction and PFI Extraction should be possible from within OS X. How easy it will be is the question. If anyone would like to be part of this project and has experience with coding in Carbon/Cocoa, please contact me. I am sure I will be able to figure it out but I am slowing learning very technical code and it is a lot to take in.

    I'm trying to burn ptc-turok.iso since a week. I tried first with Iburn360 before I saw your app. in iburn360, the Internal burner in my macbook pro burn that image up to 20% and say Finished!.

    with your app, I only tried ounce, but got a error saying that my burner didnt respond after probably the same 20%...what's strange is that your verification of the image say PASS and everything look fine...

    The log doesnt talk about a error at the end...

    Send me your DiscRecording.Log (also in ~/Library/Logs/)

    No, these will probably not work. Memorex are usually re-branded ritek media anyway. I would suggest Verbatim or AOne if you are using a Matshita Drive. An external Pioneer or Hitachi LG Drive will burn most anything, but I would still recommend good media to increase your odds of the xbox 360 recognizing the disc.
