Tutorial: How To Burn XBox360 Games

svtstang- i don't mean to speak up to an addict but you realize that the dyes in the cd factories are all most all the same, they just ad a few tweaks for color and strength, i think what matters more is your burner, how well it can control the fluctuation of it's speeds,

oh but i do agree that drive at the top of the forum is a waste,
hitachi, samsung, and maybe lg/sony (maybe) but thats it.

 

Lol my title means nothing, feel free to say whatever you like!

Media codes do make a giant difference, thus why there are so many threads and sites rating different media. It is absolutely untrue that all dyes are practically the same. It has been proven extensively that CMC dye is poop.

Taken from Digital faq, Memorex and CMC is 3rd class media:

Verbatim is solid, as long as your burner is decent you will have no problems. And like I just mentioned, it is expected for Memorex to fail! Bitsetting it not required if you have newer firmware on the xbox, but if you can bit set to dvd-rom why not? And yes, Lite On is capable of bit setting.

 

i made a thread already but in a desprite attempt to fix my problem im posting here too..


I have the samsung ms28. i successfully flashed my 360 with the ixtrem12 firmware. i downloaded a game and have tryed time and time agian to burn/play it. i havnt been able to get it to work. i tryed with first with normal dvds and then went out and bought verbatims and it still wont work. when i insert a disk it says 'reading' and but never plays. sometimes it will eject it. sometimes it wont. but it never works or plays. ive tryed burning it with both CloneCD and ImgBurn and wasted around 7-10 DVD+R DLs...

ive looked at the iso in mulleter and it seems to be as stable as can be.

i do not however have a pioneer dvr 111 or 111 or that liteon posted above. i have a TS-H652D. could this have anything to do with my problem?

if anyone can help me it would be great. i think im literally going crazy over this madness xD

 

oo, So is the Pioneer 112D as good as the Lite On one. Because I just bought the Lite On one from the store same as the link one above. I wasnt really paying attention to the SATA and my computer uses only the ATA. So I gotta return that one too -.-. Im probably gonna get the Pioneer 112DBK. That one has the bitsetting to -ROM right ?

Thxs.

 

I get how to patch and burn the game, but how do you actually play a burned game on the 360? Do you have to do something to the Xbox360? What is the Xtreme Firmware Update? Where can I find such information?
I'm really new to this site and found it on a search through Google.

 

sorry i also forgot to ask: will the burned games be allowed to play online? like if i downloaded halo3 and burned it, would it still work on xbox live, and if so, would there be any way for the mods to see that i am using a burned copy and then ban me for life?

 

Does anyone know how to tell if an xbox is pal or ntsc without putting in a disc? Are you able to tell from the serial number or the software the box is running?

Cheers

 

I'm trying to burn and after 2 minutes into it I get an error message, I hope it's not my burner:
MATSHITA
Product: DVD-RAM UJ-851S
Revision: 1.50
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

hi i have a mooded xbox360 and i have 2 pioneer 110D drives i have been told they burn DL they were running on firware 1.12 march 2005 i trashed 10 verbitim discs trying to figure to burn a sucsessful game i have now updated my firmware to the latest version of 1.41 april 2006 should this make a difference to my games working or not? as i dont want to waste anymore disc there not cheap

can somebody help me please

 

i am having trouble playing burnt games aswell. what does your 360 do once you have burnt them? do the disks just not work? my 360 says "reading" but then never plays them

 

ya i have a modded 360 too but half the time i burn a game (with verbatums at 1.8 speed DL) the disk is "unplayable" but i try it at my friends house at it works fine..whats the deal!? no tis not an elite or halo machine its like almost lauch machine. all normlae games work fine

 

yeah im very confused why its not working and im really tired of putting money and time into it.. the only thing i havnt tryed it buying a new burner drive. but it seems so unlikely that thats the problem.

 

well ive used two diffrent burner and i got the same problem with both so no a fing clue i may just re mod my xbox

 

Is this tutorial up to date, i noticed it was last edited in 2006.

Also is using CloneCD still the preferred way to burn a back up.

 

Ok,..I'm having some problems burning a game, maybe somebody can help me out as to why its not working. I have a Lite-On DVD-RW SOHW-1633S. Ive updated it with the BS0Y firmware. And the Book type is set for DVD-ROM. I bought Verbatim DVD+R DL Discs, and my xbox is flashed. So, at first i tried xbox back-up creator. I burned the game at 2.4X. The result is, I put the disc in the tray and xbox dashboard says "Unreadable Disc". Before i tried this i had the old factory firmware for my drive and was using HP DVD-R DL discs. I burned 1 copy w/ CloneCD. No result. 1 with Xbox backup creator, and 1 with ImgBurn. Still didn't work. I would start the xbox and goto play game and it would act like its going to load but never does, it just acts like its reading the disc and remains at a black screen. 1 copy of the game DID work, but rarely. I would turn on my xbox and either get the result listed earlier or it would boot properly and freeze later on around the same point in the game and gives me a "This disc is unreadable"
Any Ideas?

 

i have downloaded quite a few games for the xbox 360 i follow your instrutions the xtreme ones. i am burning my iso to a arita dvd+r dl disc burning great but when i put it in my chipped xbox 360 comes up reading and then says open tray but it reads my other chipped games perfectly can you help ??

Hi guys, how do I patch the iso for the iXtreme Firmware. Do I use the link given in the first page or some other software.

 

hi all, im new at this so i want some advice, i have a samsung sh-s182d burner, and i want to know if it is able to burn RICOHJPN-D00 to back up my xbox 360 games, also if this is a good media for 360 backups, if not tell me what should i use

 

I'm new to this site. But I read the tut on how to do backups and when I go to the site it suggested to get the ss file I get some advertisement. Also the other site I use is ss ss.softmodfiles.net but it doesn't have any new games. Does anybody know where I can get those files? Thanks
