I have two questions:

1. Can i still play movie DVD's (so single layer) if i have modified my drive? I have read somewere that a flashed drive only read DL DVD's. Is this true?
2. I have read on several site's that Verbatim DVD DL are the best one to use. Verbatim are 50 euro for 25 DL DVD's. Philips are 28 euro for 25 DVD's. So is Philips good enough? It's much cheaper. (burning both on 2.4x)

 

And what about Emtec double layer DVD+R 8.5 GB 8x / 25-pack cakebox ? Very cheap, only 25 euro for 25...

 

1~ use the latest ixtreme firmware and the original games along with DVDs and backups can be played!

2~ i have said it once i'll say it again, 360 games are a monster of a burn, on cheap media you'll get alot of coasters and even doggy discs, most people use cheap media from the stores, the game wont work....they switch to verbatim then BAM there game is working!

you want to try to get singapore, but i find that all verbatim discs have basically the same results

 

Tripplite,a couple more questions if you don't mind.Do you recommend
XdvdMulletor or any program like it? Also what newsgroup ect do you think is good? I got the Singapopre Verbatim DVD+D DL, and am about ready to light a match to this...thanks.

 

tripplite thanks for all the help btw. I decide to go with another program called imgburn instead of clone cd cause im running Vista(just to take ur advice) and it actually worked out fine. But would u have any experience using that program?

I want to create a copy of a game i already have burned but dont have it saved on my computer. Any advice? I tried using clone cd to straight burn but not luck.

Oh a side note do i have to change any setting for when the disc is being read on a copy? Also do i have to change any setting on clone cd for when i want to burn a .dvd file besides burn at 2x-2.4x? Thanks

 

Will Verbatim DVD+R DL work or you need -R? What's the difference between both btw?

 

ARG GOOD THING YE ASKED!
only use DVD+R DL,
nothing else will work!

(you need the adobe reader plugin to view this)
that should be fine, the best part about is that it extracts the ss files for you so no sweat on patching or any of that crap, its probably the easiest and best way to backup!
==================================================================

imgburn=da best freeware
you cant just strait up copy it, if you do this the security sectors (ss) are lost and without them the xbox360 cant read the game, back up the game then re-burn, use XDVDmulleter to backup, its easy and i posted a guide to it above (it extracts the ss files for you so there is no need to patch) , as for games that come un-patched follow this guide obviously for patching them

Is there any way i can get cought when playing xbox live with my burned games?
I have downloaded very fun games but im scared to play online couse some people says that xbox can see if the game is burned or not when playing online.

 

thats what the entire ixtreme firmware is about, allowing you to play backups without being caught unfortunately there is still a chance of being caught and once banned you can never join the live community again......they're are modchips that allow you to switch between 2 firmwares, so when you want to go on live you flash back to your original firmware and alls fine, then when its time to play your backups you switch again to your ixtreme

-tripplite

 

But I have read that MS checkes the DVD disc, not the firmware. So if you are playing with a modified firmware, but with an original game, there should be no problem.

[offtopic]Does someone know if you got more chance getting banned if I use the 8x drive speed of the modified firmware than the normal speed (12x)?[/offtopic]

 

Tripplite, how big is the risk of being cought. is it only when you play online or is it allways?

 

no they check the firmware thats why people like to use modchips that allow them to switch between the two

but rumors say that Microsoft can check your console for modded firmware if you have a gold subscription and your console is connected to the internet...even if you not playing on live at the time....but i dont believe the rumors as it goes against the science of the entire thing!

to be blunt its a cat and mouse game.....some scans will pick up modded consoles ....other wont

you cant bring a banned console back onto live

Ok ty, so you mean that microsoft only can check the firmware if you send the console to them except the rumor?
How did the rumor start??

 

Not the case @ all.....the way that MS constructed the 360 it's NOT possible to read the firmware. period. they check things on the disc.

As far as playing offline, yes, they can still check (then send that info back to their servers the next time you login).

If you don't wanna risk being banned, don play backups online. It's that simple.

Also, dvd firmware chips are a joke...save your money & time and buy some more media.

 

the only way to check the disc is via the drives firmware no?

i have always been told they scan for modified firmware...people play with originals and get caught?

rumor i stated before has been confirmed

-tripplite

 

no, they just check for the correct video partition, correct pfi, correct dmi and security sector.

There's no way for them to read the firmware.

 

So they only read the disc??
Is the files on a burned disc right so they dont notice it??

 

I'm new to this
I have just modded my 360 with Xtreme firmware
I want to start burning some games and I am torrenting Halo 3.
How do I find stuff with the iso format? And do the disks have to be DVD+R DL? Also, that link "http://www.ubclass.org/X360SS/sslist.htm" in the tutorial goes to some random site with nothing to do with xboxes... I don't know if that's where I'm getting lost.
Please help.

 

alright check you PM box i sent you some messages

YES make sure they are DVD+R DL NOT DVD-R DL

that link is broken am sorry, i sent you a PM

the halo3 you are downloading is in ISO format/ it just neededs to be unrared into iso format

some games are un-patched and need to patched with SS.bin files, i sent you a PM with the links to the ss files
