Help and information greatly appreciated!
I want to try and make backups of my stealth patched backups and not invest much as of now. So, I got most info from above posts regarding software for now, thanks Unimatrx!!
*Also my 360 has the iXtreme firmware so can only play stealth backups , so I need to make sure the backups of my backups will be stealth patched too, doable, yes?
1) I have a modded 360 which has a Samsung drive, so I can simply use this? Plug and play via appropriate cables to my Laptop running XP or any changes need to be made to the Samsung? When done, I simply put it back in my 360 and it will work?
2) I will buy the foll. burner. Is it ok? The Pioneer DVR-112D. Worried about 'make sure your dvd supports the book type dvd-rom', is this one ok?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129007
3) *** I only have a laptop as of now, can I use USB external exclusures for the Samsung reader and Phillips burner or should I just wait till I buy a PC??

In answer to your first question, the whole stealth issue is not really to be concerned about if you have firmware version 1.3 for your samsung you are stealthed on xbox live, it prevents them detecting you so dont worry too much there.
question 1 i dont understand what you mean here, are you saying you have modded the xbox and want to play this by using your laptop?
question 2 - yes get the pioneer without a doubt, its booktype is already set for you automatically, its the number 1 burner for 360 games. So a big YES.
Question 3 - That is perfectly fine i have mine in an external enclosure too.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I do have version 1.3!!
Regarding Question 1, I meant if I could simply unplug the Samsung drive from the 360 and use it for reading the backup on my laptop so I can burn another copy? Will the laptop recognize it instantly? That's all, nothing to do with playing...
And then after I am done I put it back in my 360 and then I am set?
if all this works I will buy the foll. just wanna try things out first!! trying not to spend much right now... :)

New Question! Also I only have USB 1.1, so that should not be an issue I hope, I will burn at lowest speeds to be safe...I know I know, time to buy a new PC!
Thanks again!

Hi
No you can plug the drive to the laptop it wont work that way, its coded to work with the 360, as for the site you showed me that is the place i buy my gear from and would recommend that drive as i got it from them, also they sell the samsung external drive with kreon software for ripping 360 games

No you definately do not need the pioneer drive. It is recommended. But not needed. Any dvd dl burner will do. I have been using my lg burner for ever and have no problems yet. Also you don't and shouldn't patch the image with NME assosciator. It is actualy bad for it. Especially with all of those crc checks on your game disc. you also don't have to buy a kreon drive aswell. Type in Wxripper method. however after you rip it you must inject the stealth files (isn't very hard) with xbox backup creator. I recommend buying the kreon drive. After you do you will soon see it is the best 50 bucks you have spent.
for kreon drives
All you need to do is click drive tools tab, then unlock drive, then go to read, make sure complete backup is selected!!!. select a place for the image to go then Waahla a perfectly stealth iso image. Note this is for only kreon drive.
How to check for stealth
first of all there are two methods that can be used. The easier way and the more thurough way. First ill show you the easier way. Open up xbox backup creator and image tools (drive tools if your checking a disc. then select stealth check. select your image for the check. make sure everything is checked. If it isn't download the missng file from [url=http://ss.softmodfiles.net][/url] and then hit image tools Then the part of stealth file your missing. then open your 360 image file then the stealth file you want to inject. There all stealth for xbox live.
Xdvd mulleter
This is the more thrurough way of checking.
open up xdvd mulleter
select view iso details
select load from file tab or load from dvd tab(depending on what your checking
Select browse for iso image. or load from disc if reading from dvd.
click next. make sure all boxes are checked for xtreme.
then click crc checking
then crc details
click the box check online data base
then check. it will tell you if your set.
yeah i'm the man

Thanks for the new info, I am checking slickdeals.net for a new pc, and will give this method a shot first cos they come with who knows what brand dvd burners, may get some coasters and if so will get the kreon, pioneer etc. as planned.

just wondering, in light of the new bannings does this effect this topic, backups of backups, I am upgrading firmware to 1.4 iXtreme, but all I want to know is:
1) if I had a 'good' back-up and i use procedures discussed here will my new back-up be just the original 'good' back-up...
2) if I had a 'bad' back-up can I fix that or worse case my new back-up will be the same..
basically i will get 1:1 back-ups right? if done properly, cos I am reading all kinds of things regarding not using samsungs or kreon etc. etc. basically that does not concern this topic right, cos we are jsut making a back-up of a back-up from some source...
thanks.

yes theres always a possibility. and your backup-backup is just as good as your original backup. You can also do this in img burn or any other program.

Hey,
I just want to ask a straight up question as I'm not sure if it's definately possible from reading this.
If I have a copied game (not orignal), can I easily copy it? As in just put in disc and make a copy (instead of the usual patching etc.)
As I think you need a special drive to copy an original xbox 360 game.
And what do I need to use....will nero do? or clone cd?
Thanks

Brand new at this backup up of 360 games. I have backup games to backup and need to know what to get. I thought I could use the laptop as the read drive and get a Pioneer 112d as the burn drive. I was told this is not true. Can someone please let me know the correct answer for this. Do I need a specific read drive as well.
I have tried using a benq ew1621 burner, but its crap. Always has been.
Also I am going to be testing with Phillips DVD+R DL.
Thanks

This is my exact question.. both in termf of copying back-ups, and in terms of backing up originals.. if anyone could answer or point me to a thread that does.. I'd appreciate it.
Also.. how would I check old backups to see if the stealth patches are up to date? Could i do this with Xbox Backup creator or the other program i saw mentioned in this thread? (the one with mullet in the title..)
thanks in advance..

I recently downloaded a game and burnt it, and it works great. I deleted the game off the computer since i dont need it anymore. And now a friends wants the same game, do i need to re download it or can i copy my backup with my regular DL burner?

You can copy it.
Programs you need are
1. xbox back up creator
2. XDVDMULLETER
3. IMGBURN
First thing you want to do is put your back up in your dl drive and open xbox back up creator. You can make an ISO of the back up using xbox back up creator. I'm at work right now so I cant give you the step by step but the program is straight forward and very simple. I'll edit my post once I get home to add all off the smaller details I may miss.
Once you have the ISO of your back up you need to open XDVDMULLETER and make a .dvd file for the ISO
Once you have made your .dvd file you can open IMGBURN and burn your back up.

MD200GT why can't orangesyn just use IMGburn to create the iso and then write it all in one program? it's already a backup. I use it all the time to backup my backups and have no problems. I'm a missing something? Someone else here mentioned using 3 programs to copy backups and I don't understand why.

I was just wondering what about using SCHTROM360 and extract the image
i used DVD decrypter and extracted the ISO and then i checked it with XDVD muller where it has the part that it says data present its not ticked so i am guessing it didn't extract properly i try other programs and see what happens ( xdvd muller did verify that it was pactch with splitvid and rest of things tht the game had just the part where it stated if the game data was present was not ticked )

I've been using Xbox backup creator to make backups of originals and for copies of backups Im currently using Clonecd. For the dvd media Im using Verbatim DL. I have tried other brands but my sammy will only pick up Verbatims. I have a BenQ - Halo Edition and that sucker seems to pick up any type of disc. Ive even used Nextech which are like a buck a piece and they work on the BenQ. Ive noticed this trend on several sammy drives not picking up cheap brands and Hitachis seem to vary.
