who ever is havin problems just go out and spend the money on the Samsung SH-D162C drive like everyone said its far the best way to go..1 dump and burn thats it as easy as 123

 

Am I safe to assume you have flashed the ROM drive firmware in you're 360 already??

 

Yes, you need to flash the firmware on the DVD drive.

Check out http://forums.xbox-scene.com for more details on it.

Do you know if the image still contains the PFI.BIN and DMI.BIN when dumping the game using the Samsung SH-D162C drive?

 

No, it dumps the game to a simple .ISO image and you burn the image, very easy.

I know a guy out of Toronto that sells the SH-D162C drives for $65 CAD shipped, great deal, great guy with fast service. If anyone wants his coordinates let me know.

 

People buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/SAMSUNG-SH-D162...yZ122517QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and be happy that easy

 

That's a rip off $65 and $19.99 Shipping and Handling is he on crack? I'll look else where for the drive through google.

 

well that guy sells so many so fast so he must not be on crack if people are buying them

 

Well this person is selling the same drive for $41 + $11 S&H. So the other person is ripping people off no way I'm paying $65 + $19.99 S&H.

well if ur in canada its gonna be around the same price from that guy too..why do people start fights on here over dumb thing...go buy it where ever you want i dont care..i was just showing people that cant get there stuff to work and askin the same thing over and over the easy way to go

 

So you spend 60 bucks and can then backup all games with no hassle? doesn't sound so bad to me.

 

Yea, but I was offering people (who may be viewing this thread) another alternative just in case they'd like to save a little money. I meant no harm sheeesh...calm down man!! I mean I would pay the $65 + $19.99 if there were no other cheaper alternative since I'd be saving money on the games anyways.

 

Just to clarify, if I download a game from a torrent site and it's not patched, I probably can't patch it , correct?


Any one have a link to a website or name of a news group we I could get prepatched games?

 

@ gypsydev
You can patch the iso, just use ss merger 1.7, heres a link which has loads of ss/pfi/dmi files.

So if I get the Samsung drive that's already flashed, do I still have to update my 360's firmware? Sorry if this question has already been asked..

 

If you get a samsung drive for your 360, that is flashed with xtreme, it wont work on your 360, because it has someone elses motherboard key on it, every 360 has its own specific key, you will have to obtain your own xbox 360 key, then insert it into the xtreme firmware then reflash the drive. This is only if your buying the drive of someone, if you can just get your own drive flashed by someone, then that will be fine, otherwise like i said, you will need to insert your own key.
