    If the Verbs still don't work, chances are that it is your laptop burner. Laptop burners are notoriously sketchy about burn quality. That doesn't really matter on data or video DVDs, but quality counts for the 360's finnicky arse.

    welp, verbatims did the trick. the game plays now. fwiw i only used my laptop drive for the first few burns then moved to my nec 3520AW.

    i used qpxtool to graph the PIE/PIF of this disk which shows that it might be crap! idk what to think about that.

    [​IMG]

    PIE(green) PIF(red)
    Total: 2259828 4560
    Max: 770 36
    Avg: 75.70 0.01


    also my nec 3520aw doesnt read any of my written to (xbox backups) memorex disks. according to the guys over at cdfreaks, the drive is really old. maybe i'll go out and get a new one..

    to get qpxtool to work, i needed to run it as root or setuid it:

    Code:
    chmod 4755 /bin/qpxtool 
    Also i needed to flash the drive with the latest modified firmware (Liggies 3.07 bitsetting firmware) from liggy and dee:

    http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/NEC-ND-3520A/

    and use necflash (binflash):

    http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/

    with that done i could use qpxtool on the verbatims.

    unfortunately when i tried to do a comparison against the memorex i found out that after i burn a backup to a DVD, my nec drive hates those disks as much as the benq's

    if i use a memorex game backup that can be read on windows and also works with liteon/xbox360, i get strange issues:
    Code:
    $ sudo cat /etc/fstab | grep scd0
    /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
    $ sudo mount /media/cdrom0
    mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
    $ sudo lshw -C disk
      *-cdrom                 
           description: DVD writer
           product: DVD_RW ND-3520AW
           vendor: _NEC

           bus info: scsi@4:0.0.0

           logical name: /dev/dvdrw
           logical name: /dev/scd0
           logical name: /dev/sr0
           version: 3.07
           serial: [_NEC    DVD_RW ND-3520AW3.0706020900BT-LIGGY
           capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r
           configuration: ansiversion=5 [color=red]status=nodisc[/color]
    
    so ya, idk wtf with the status=nodisc, however i can say that i dont care all that much cause, well, the verbatim works.

    i know the last part here is not really appropriate for this forum, but i figured i'd document it in case someone knows how to fix it or sees the same issues.
