hi i have xbox game i d/l put it on dvd started playing game played ok at first so i deleated file (lap top not a lot of spare space) trouble is game now crashes at a certain point. what i am trying to find out is there any way to copy one xbox game from one dvd to another disc the reason i want to try this is to see if it is the disc at fault before i re d/l game all help greatfully appreciated. ;-) :-0
Even though the pc will say no disk..copy entire disk with nero or alcohol 120% will handle it fine. There is data there..it's just not in a format the pc understands. Burning programs don't seem to have any problems.
Janrocks, you mean use the PC to copy it strait from one disc to another? I have never heard of that one for Xbox games, only PS2? but just so he knows there is a tutorial on backing up games at the top in bold letters.
Hi Steimy.. He said he downloaded it, so I assume it's already been ripped to an iso which he's burned. The question was is it possible to copy the disk he's burned with the pc burner, to which the answer is most certainly yes... Burn the copy slow and use a good quality dvd-r disk
OH, I see. Another case of my brain just being on the wrong train of thought that morning. In fact sometimes my train of thought just has a derailment But i was kinda hoping you would say there WAS a way and i had just missed knowing about it NO MORE FTP!
They did release the Samsung 605b firmware hack a few weeks ago that supposedly lets you plug an xbox drive into your pc and just rip away. Its called sdg605bv2_-_Xbox_Samsung_Firmware_Hack_v2_-_Commodore4eva I haven't played with it but I do have a copy.. lol
What is a good software to "rip" your xbox games to your hard drive and the "ripped" game is an .iso file (to put on a DVD-R)?
The xbox game backup guides are stickied at the top WS_FTP Pro for the ftp.. CloneXB to make the iso Nero6 for the burn On the xbox to put a game on the xbox drive dvd2xbox
You can always use Quix to have the one step solution. It's not too bad. It's what I use whenever I don't need to remove any files for the DVD5 compatibility.
Not trying to be picky, but this is my situation: I have an xbox, backwards compatible game that I want to duplicate to play on my xbox 360. I want to duplicate that using my computer, a 200 GB HD, and any programs you guys throw at me. I have no idea what an FTP is, but I am connected to xbox live (using an ethernet cable connected to my wireless router which is connected to my computer). I need a good, step by step guide to duplicate an xbox game without any mod chips. If possible, I am pretty lazy, I don't want to get up to connect any cables. Thank you!!!

To copy Xbox games you need your XBOX to be modded somehow, wether it's softmodded or hard modded, it's up to you. But you can't copy Xbox games using your PC drive unless they are already backups. If the game is on a DVDR, then you can easilly fire up any program to do a 1:1 copy of it. But if it's original, you have to have access to your Xbox's drive to extract the game's information with it. If you don't have access to a modded Xbox, then I guess you're out of luck. Unless your modified X360 is able to let you copy games or something like that. I'm not familiar with the X360 yet.
So your saying that my backwards compatible game (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, stupid game, but It's the cheapest I got to test-copy an xbox game) is NOT a/in DVD-R format? beacuse then I could just do the thing that you said to do: "if your game is in a DVD-R format, you can just 1:1 copy it...) HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no mods!!!!!
If your game is ORIGINAL, you CANNOT copy it using your PC. IF your game is A BACKUP ON A DVD+-R disc, then you certainly can copy it using your PC! In order to make a backup of an original game, you need to first read it using your Xbox's drive since it's the only thing that can actualy read the files on the disc. Normal DVD drives will see the Xbox Only Disc movie. After you burn the ISO you made out of the files you got from the disc read with the Xbox, you can easily copy a backup since the files are accesible by the normal DVD drive even though your PC won't see them thanks to a foreign file system. But that doesn't stop duplicating software from copying the backup games!
I think there may still be a problem with running it on the 360.. I'm sure it looks at the security sector on any game disks inserted and if it's burned I think you will be out of luck with a copy. Now I could be 100% wrong if I am please correct me. It's an iffy suggestion but maybe "download" a smallish xbox game off the torrents and burn the iso and see if it works. I think that just about falls under the legit research/education use as long as you destroy or otherwise cover yourself if you decide to keep it. As you already own the tony hawks have a look for a torrent of that. Not quite legal, but as I say.. I think we're just about covered. EDIT Work in progress..so far with a backed up copy of Halo 2 the 360 sees it as a real game, says there is an update and connects to live to get it...does some downloading. then reboots.. Interesting.

Work in progress I don't have a 360 but I know somebody 6 hours from me who has, and we're working on it. Keep you all posted..
Hey janrocks, you said that you can download a "torrent". where can I get that? it would be awesome if it works!!!
It's actually against the rules to talk about that. So, if you're going to ask such a thing I suggest you do it through PM.
