    Ok so I've been playing backups for a long time, eventually I ran out of dvd+r dl's. I bought some new ones. I only used Memorex because they always worked for me, but this time I bought the new memorex in the white boxes instead of the purple ones.

    I also had to redownload Imgburn cuz since I last burned a game I put a new OS on here.

    So anyways, I burn the image, pop it in, and the 360 says Play DVD instead of play whatever game it is with a picture in the back. I press it and the screen flickers, and shows the Xbox symbol, with the dvd controls on the bottom.

    I've already made 2 coasters. My thoughts are either, all these disks are bad, which I seriously hope not, or there's some imgburn setting I forgot about? I just downloaded the new Imgburn 2.5

    What should I do?

    You will need to update your iXtreme to 1.6 to play all of the latest games.

    If your iXtreme is already updated then it is the discs. Go for Verbatim.

    I don't understand why people do that. It doesn't make sense. Just update to 1.6. It will be the safest.

    it just sucks this happened, considering my situation
    upgraded to windows 7 64bit, so without 32bit i can't use PortIO probably so no jungle flasher thingie
    also didn't save all my files from when I did the flash, so have to start over

    also my via pci card isn't even in my computer, i bought a new computer, and it has an nforce sata thing, not sure if it'll work

    now i have to find the torx screw thing too which i lost, so i'll probably have to buy it

    it's just a huge huge hassle :\ but yeah, probably worth it, i already have the pre-march 2009 games i want lol, i wanted to play batman and wet lol

    that's my issue too. I have a second 360 I want to patch, but I can't/haven't tried yet because I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit as well.

    I'll see if I can get it done with the flash stick/thumb drive sometime soon.
