Ok, so I'm contemplating flashing my xbox 360 and playing backups of my games. I have no intentions of using the xbox online at the present time so I don't think the stealth patching is too important to me right now. I just need some advice on the best way to create back ups of my original games.
I have a dual layer dvd recorder, So can I use this to rip the game to my hard drive and then burn the iso? Or Would I need to connect the xbox's dvd drive directlty to my pc and rip it that way? I have looked through different tutorials and there are so many different ways of doing things I'm quite confused as to where to start, I have seen a way of doing it through "WXripper" not sure of any other software that I can use in a similar way. Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Very good idea.

Online/offline regardless, you will need to check your ISOs with abgx360, which will stealth patch the ISO anyway.

Ripping retail discs, using Xbox Backup Creator 2.9.

To rip: You would need an Xbox360 drive that is flashed with 0800v3 firmware. (Use Xbox Backup Creator)
To burn: You would need an iHAS series burner flashed with BurnerMAX firmware. (Use ImgBurn or CloneCD)
iHAS burners:
Lite-On iHAS124B
Lite-On iHAS224B
Lite-On iHAS324B
Lite-On iHAS424B
Lite-On iHAS524B
Lite-On iHAS624B

Stay away from WXripper.

Instead of the Xbox 360 drive flashed with 0800 firmware you can also use a DROM6316, they are almost the same as Xbox 360 BenQ drives, you just don't need an external power source anymore, but you'd have to modify the drive according to this guide:
http://www.xbox360iso.com/drom6316-pc-internal-t496730.html The drives are hard to get though, because they were only used as some DellOEM drives.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

I found a site that sells the DROM6316 for 35 bucks, just needs to be modified according to the guide.
