Tutorial: How To Burn XBox360 Games

To Anabi_Ltd: We can't point at the firmware, it's not allowed.

Google it man, write the firmware you're looking for and you'll get to it, also try torrents, they are there, we just can't tell you where they are since it's not allowed by the forums rules.

Again, make a thread for these questions, don't post them here.

(and don't post the same question in 2 different ones i saw that other one )

 

@Anabi_Ltd

since this offically stikied we should update the first post:

Updated by me Burning AS :
Needed Tools:
* XBox 360 w/ XTreme Firmware. Update- latest Extreme FW v3.1
* DVD+R Dual Layered Blank DVD Perferably Verbatim brand
* Burner Capable Of Burning Dual Layered DVDs Booktyped to DVD-ROM
* LATEST VERSION of CloneCD
* XBOX360 SS Merger 1.6o.

NEXT updates by as:

First your going to download your games from wherever you get your stuff. I personally use newsgroups, it seems to be the fastest and most reliable source for getting anything. You need to check the game first to see what kind of rip it is. Straight rips of the games don't work yet so you need to find the ones that can be patched, or if your lucky already patched. This tutorial will show you how to patch the games if needed. The easiest way to check what kinda rip is to check the .nfo file that comes with almost every game. ANd everythign about newsgroups and how to get started go here: http://www.slyck.com/ng.php

NEXT UPDATES by as:

Types Of Rips:
-Straight Rips: At this time these are impossible to do anything with. I group by the name of Pi has been releasing these lately. They are of no use at the current time though. (RARLY SEEN NOW)

-Xtreme Rips (Not Patched): These are good rips that just need to be patched with the correct .bin file. I'll explain where to get these, and how to patch the files. After patched you can then burn it and it'll boot no problem. (RARLY SEEN NOW)

-Xtreme Rips (Pre Patched): These files are the easiest to use, they come in .rar format like both other rips, the difference is you just have to unrar and burn. No patching required. This is the fastest way.

Note: Skip to step 2 if you have a prepatched iso. Just burn and play!

i hope either Nephilim or ddp or the orginal poster can update this as above that would make everything better.

thanks

 

i'm having the same problem as agenknil... my 360 is reading the dvd as a music cd...

i'm using a lite-on dvdrw..it burns dual layer.. i'm using memorex dual layer media... i was trying to use the saints row pal patched .... any help?

i'm gonna try a verbatim disc next..just need to get some.... could it be that the lite-on dvd burner just can't burn 360 games??

 

it was same prob as agentknil
and
p.s. i'm also using clonecd version 5.2 or higher...thanks

 

@deft1

make sure you bitset/change booktype to DVD-ROM before burning.

 

gehx.. where is this option to change to dvdrom?... sorry for a newb question..but i just started using clone cd and doin 360 stuff..

 

i'm using a Lite-on dvdrw shw-1635s ygs3

i don't see a bitset dvdrom setting..but i see where you can disable the cd recording option..i'll try something... if anyone can help me out..i'd appreciate it... or should i get the pioneer 111d external ??.. and should that work right out of the box..or will i have to search for new drivers for it also?

is the Lite-on recorder that i own now.. the problem?? need someones expertise here..thanks

 

Lite-Ons + 360 = bad.

Wait for the new media patch firware from garyopa then you should have your lite on's burns working.

 

btw, Pioneer's automatically bitset dvd-dl media to dvd-rom. so no need to use dvdinfopro or anyother app to do it.

 

I have recently bought an xbox 360 with "globe 360" chip. i read the tutorial and my question is if i can play with those Xtreme Rips (patched or not)???

 

You finally got this sticky nice job Tweeder

 

i've successfully made backups using the hotswap method, clone cd, and this great forum. thanks everyone! now i'm trying to burn my first downloaded file. it's a .nrg file. I tried Nero to burn it to disc but my xbox didn't recognize it. anyone know what I need to do with this file? thanks.

 

Uh Hi everyone I have a very probaly stupid question!
do you have to have a mod chip? Is there any program that overrides the copyright in the system or what ever?
I would buy a chip but theres the matter of not wanting to lose my system to a fusk up and not be able to get a new one seein how i dont have 500 dollars so im just wonderin

 

Hi there. Just downloaded dead rising (says its pre-stealth patched) it came in rar format (around 70 files) ive used winrar and lw im left with 2 files:

1.) IMAGE dvd file (1KB)
2.) IMAGE000 000 file (7,395,392 KB)

Ive got clone cd 5.0.4.5.

This will be the first xbox360 game ive burn to disk. Just wanted to know if this sounds right as I only have a few dual layer discs.
Do I just burn the big IMAGE 000 file using clone cd (as described earlier in this thread) onto dual layer dvd +R 2.4x at lowest speed as possible(1x)? Thanks.

 

no you select the image000.dvd file (the small one) to burn in cloneCD at 2.4x

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I try to open the smaller file with clone cd I get an error message:

Error opening File LayerBreak=1913760: The system cannot find the file specified

Any ideas?

 

@lofty2x2

make sure both files are in the same dir.

 

When I used winrar, ive extracted the 2 files to a new folder(think i just called the folder xbox360) So they are in a different folder to all the rar files.
