Have you been patching the xbe files with either Quix or Craxtion? If so, it could be the brand of media you're using. What brand and type of DVDs are you using?

you just patch the default.xbe file,the other two are update files that are generaly used by xbox live. If you want you can delete those other two files.

This game has been bugging my tits.

I have a NTSC iso and a PAL xbox. I burned the iso to dvd (Ritek - x2, so its not the media or burn speed). Didn't work, just got to as the game is about to start and I get a dirty disc error.

So extracted the iso and rebuilt it with both craxtion and qwix, still no joy.

I tried DVD2Xbox (0.63) with all these discs and the same again. Dirty disc.

So, after exhausting everything else, I exctracted the file through qwix (FTP to xbox), woo hoo, it sort of worked, in black and white :(

So I changed the video settings a little, got the colour back, and with it the dirty disc error.

My god is this ever gonna work??? Any sugestions would be much appreciated. While I try to hunt out a PAL iso...
