    Hi guys!

    Please post the media that you already used and worked on you xbox. For my Philips drive I found these to work:

    Imation CD-R's
    TDK CD-R's
    Verbatim DataLife CD-RW

    Im buiding a database with that info.

    I've used both genuine Ritek media as well as generic bulk media from Shop4tech.com on my Thompson drive, they seem to work just fine, and I'm at about 40 games now... Cheap too, I pay less than a dollar a dvd-r, don't know how long the games will last before the DVD starts wearing out, it's cheap media after all. Oh well, they work for now, though._X_X_X_X_X_[small]To download:
    1) Connect to IRC using a program called MIRC (from download.com)
    2) Connect to an EFNET server
    3) Go to channel #xbins
    4) Follow the instructions
    5) Download what you need from the FTP site

    xIso == bad, use Craxtion with GDFImage[/small]
