you can make the backup of halo 2 but it wont work on a unmodded xbox.

 

hey guys
i have my xbox modded, xecuter 2.6ce
and can ftp, burn games etc.
but!!!
when i play the burnt games they freeze!
its really annoying in splinter cell DA because, i dnt save-only when i get to the next heckpoint or wateva..so wen it freezes i havta go all the way back
but cant get to the nest save point coz it freezes up
can anyone help me as to why this is?
i have igr turned off
thanks heaps

 

freq707 it can be the games that feezes. so look for a splinter cell DA thread and see if it's working for other ppl.
or try to burn it in a new DVD-R.

 

i looked it up.didnt fnd anything.
i have a game backup that was downloaded from the net, which has only ever frozen once
then i have another that i ripped directly from my xbox, NFS.Underground, which freezes in the same location every single time-at the start of a race just after they say go.
am i ripping the game wrong or bruning it incorrectly.
what prgrams are best recommended for this?
i used craxtion to rip,create the iso and patch it
and dvd decrypter to write it. its on a dvd+r. help?

 

freq707 it can be the game is not working. or the DVD+R
I use DVD-R only and Nero or DVD Decrypter to write it.
FlashFXP to FTP the game to the PC
Qwix to make the iso(and I do not patch them)

 

well
i tried just now a dvd+r still, but used flash fxp to copy all contents of disk(b4 i used carxtion's 'rip disk' option) and then used qwix to make the iso, and nero 7 to burn it
SUCCESS!
it works flawlessly
thanks heaps
i hope all my games work now
haha!

 

ok
wait
this is now an issue with ALL of the games i have burnt
they freeze. not extremely often, but often enough to annoy you when ur are 3/4 through a level
grr.lol
does anyone know why this happens!
the load perfectly all the time,but at random spots the lock up and cause me to restart my xbox to continue playin.then they freeze up again in like 10-15mins.
this is 4 games that do it,the only 4 i have burnt(only got my chip a week ago)

 

Next time try to edit your post.
I do not know why they are freezing.(try to search)
It can be your xbox.(the bios for the modchip)
or the DVD+R(try DVD-R)

 

oh, sorry! :]
i think it may be my bios to, because
when i turn on my xbox, it doesnt boot anything, just a black screen
and then, if its in the mood, when i open the disk tray, its boots up to the xbox logo (blue because its hacked)
majority of times, disk tray wont open so i havta turn box off then back on like 5times until it works.
once it boots, everything works perfectly though
i booted up my xbox with the chip turned off....no problems
but i have a 1.6b xbox so culd only find 1 bios that worked on it. and it was 'unofficial'
and help?
does anyone have an official bios that runs well on 1.6b?
can anyone email it to me?
thanks

 

This thread is only for GAME BACKUP. Search for the bios.

 

Hey great Tutorial straight forward and easy. I just need help on one thing. I have everything needed except the dashboard other than the standard microsoft one. So how do I get one?

 

Also I have got an FTP connection before so I don't understand the dashboard part. Does it look the same as the standard one??

 

send me an email at [removed] i can email you the intaller disk

 

You can PM me if you are having troubles with a 1.6 bios.

 

mikexb03x search on how to install the dashboard.(and edit your post)

 

Hi I have been doing a ton of reading and actually managed to get my xbox softmodded with xbmc and dvd2xbox (not tested). I have also been able to very easily manage to ftp to my xbox and do anything I need thanks to this guide. The problem is that I have been making nothing but coasters for backups or so I thought. I have a samsung drive (2 holes in tray) and my dash is 3935. I used the softmod deluxe 4.5 to mod the xbox. I can not seem to get anything to play though. First I was using dvd+r media and read that may not work so I grabbed a dvd-r and it almost worked except it made the disk an auido disk? I then went and bought some dvd-r and dvd-rw and I got one of them to actually detect as a game. When I run it on the other hand it freezes on the evox logo. I then tried to play a different disk (which shows as unknow on my box) on a friends modded xbox and it worked fine. We both are using softmods. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
