How to Burn a 360 Game (Idiot-Proof Guide)

Sweet deal. Thanks for the reply.

 

having problems getting xbox on to VERBATIM dvd+R DL,when i go to burn using imgburn it fails and says l0 zone capacity area failure,reason power calibration area error???can anybody help me i didnt have this problem burning with the smaller dvd+r is there different settings that cause this problem

 

Did you burn using the .dvd file? Did you set the layer-break manually? Can your DVD burner write DVD+R DL?

 

the current file im doin is iso9660,udf (1.02),i dont know how to set the layer breakers and my drive does burn dvd+r dl,head recker if got games ready to burn!!!

 

OK so apparently you do not know what you are doing. Run the .iso through ABGX and it will create a .dvd file for you. You can set the layer-break in the ImgBurn settings but just run the .iso through ABGX anyways. There's a tutorial in my sig.

 

thanks alot 4 ur help ndarkness,ur right i didnt no wat i was doin but sorted now,thanks again

 

I'm a newbie to everything and will be taking the plunge in a few weeks. but trying to put in the work first. NDarkness, you say you need a Samsung dvd dl burner & dvd rom drive to be flashed with rhe program that you linked on the page. My question is simple, does it have to be a Samsung Drive or will any dvd rom drive do? Thanks for listening!!

 

You only need the Samsung drive flashed with Kreon firmware if you are ripping original 360 game discs. If you are just burning .isos then you can just use any drive that can write DVD+R DL.

 

I got my new dvd drive last night and now all the games I've burned so far work great. In case anyone else is having the same issues I was and are looking for a new dvd drive, the drive I got is an LG GH22LP20. Got it for $30 from Amazon in just 2 days. Thank you NDarkness for your response

 

dont mean to sound stupid. whats the reason for stealth patching your games first. thanks.

 

If the game does not have the necessary stealth files then there will be a higher chance of being banned from Live. The game might not even boot up on the iXtreme firmware.

 

I followed this guide to the very letter and ended up with being unable to finalize the disk. It kept retrying and failing to finalize a disk and I have no idea why.

 

try clonecd instead imgburn didnt work for me

 

Thanks mate, will do. Do I burn the ISO file or .dvd file on the CloneCD program? On imgburn it was the .dvd file that needed to be burned, what is it on this one?

Thanks.

 

We need an Idiot-Proof guide to modding/updating FW on Xbox360

..unless 1 already exists?

 

Look here.

 

No don't use that guide. It's outdated. Yes you still choose the .dvd file for CloneCD. If it still does not work then it could either be your drive or the discs that you are using.

 

Thanks, it's burning now so here's hoping. This'll be the third time burning, with twice having burned litteratly nothing (full memory of the disc in tact) and took 40 minutes a time.

Hopefully this works. Thanks everyone for your help, I really appriciate it.

 

I seriously don't see what the problem is with this. I've followed instructions to the letter, I'm using the write speed suggested, blank discs which have burned games for friends and have used both CLONECD and IMGBURN to try, both have told me the disc's have burned yet they haven't and both discs remain empty with a full capacity.

I have also checked my drive and it's fully capable of burning duel layered discs and has the latest firmware so I totally don't understand what's going on.

I don't know what to do now having tried two different programs and having gotten the exact same repsonse from both of them and after 40 minutes each have nothing to show for it. I guess at least I haven't wasted any discs.
