Ok, I thought I had worked out how to back up games but they are not working.
This is what I did. Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong?
I connected the xbox to my pc.
I used FlashFXP to transfer the files to my computer.
I then used Qwix to make an ISO file. I did this by Clicking on Create ISO. For the source I selected Local Folder and selected the data folder.
Once this created the ISO image I went to DVD Decryptor and went to mode then ISO/write.
Trying to play this in my xbox said unknown disk!
I thought I had it, I must be close. Anyone able to help???
Thanks

Yea, im with Rzep, ive tried multiple things to try to get this working, different iso makers, im now using the GDFImage maker in Dos, bla bla bla, change media types, etc. its not my media because i can make disk to disk copies of my mates material and they work fine in my box.

What type of media are using?? Try to use craxion like Chaos just mentioned. I bet your using the wrong type of media, I use Ritek 4x/-R Media and my backups have all been perfect with Craxtion. The Xbox is real picky about the media you put in it. I don't what drive you have but I have a Samsung and I only use Dvd-R media.

maybe if you tried to patch the game?? there are a few ways to do this.. i would first d/load craxtion 4

(stay on the internet)

use the ISO you have already created (in QWIX), open up crax4 (close the menu if this appears next) then press F3 and then add the ISO, press patch and it should patch the ISO.. then use DVD Decrypter to burn the ISO..

i hope this helps.. let me know if you have any troubles..

Thanx for the input guys, what exactly does the patch do vixen? I have craxtion 4, i use an LG DVD-Ram, DL compatable, with TDK DVD+R's or TDK DVD RW's. I have the Microsoft xbox GDFImage maker aswell, i thought since thats what they use to make their games it would be better, i'll let you know what happens, thanx again

p.s. when i used DVD+R and have an xbox v1.1, i know it can read DVD+R as i used one of these disc's to flash the chip, also should the xbox be able to read a UDF?

Don't use that format. In fact, when you open Nero, close the start-up wizard. Go to File>Open, and find your xiso. Then, it will automatically bring up another screen, choose the speed settings (don't go over 4x or else you're bound to have errors) and it should work :)

I would suggest wiping the disc off with a soft cloth and some alcohol first. If the problem continues, then try using better media.

Yeah, I have the same problem with games freezing after pressing 'START' at the 'PUSH START TO BEGIN' screen. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf did it on me and then get this: A non resale bundled disc(which is a factory disc) Amped 2/Top Spin. When I went to choose Amped 2 it would go through all the studio movies at the beginning and then where it wants me to click start to begin is where it freezes. When I chose Top Spin instead, it wouldn't even get that far. I just get a BSOD.

Both of these games are produced by Micro$0ft so it makes me wonder if they have some extra check within the game that can detect if I'm running a modded console. Then my other concern is if it's just the Thompson DVD-ROM drive giving me trouble. I have a modded Samsung 616T drive on the way so I can't test that theory out until it arrives. But if anybody has any clues to why this is so...

I have loaded the ISO into Craxtion, patched then burned with Alcohol 120 and DVD Decryptor on Ridata Grade A 04 media and neither one worked. I know this media works because I have other games backed up to this media and they work fine.

Currently this is what I'm working with:
Xbox Version 1.6
Xenium Ice OS 2.3
Thompson DVD-ROM Drive
200GB Maxtor HDD
Evox M8 Bios with LBA48 Patch
Evox Dash 3935
Custom 'DEATH' Led Lit Jewel Ring
Blue Controller Ports
Blue Eject/Power Board
Custom Skinned 'LUST' Case

Update...

So now I copied game files of MechAssault 2 to XBOX HDD and it does the same thing. There must be a file within the game that either can tell you are running a chipped box or it can tell if your not running the default dashboard.

Any ideas anyone....

The protection is not in the files, it's in the disc itself. The files cannot tell if you're using a modded xbox or not. The bios is what counts, and it determines what can be played. A standard MS bios only plays factory Xbox games, and a hacked bios playes Factory games+burnt disc images. Either way, it's not the files.

Try FTPing the files all over again and putting them on your HDD.

I've burned it 3 different times to disc and ftped it 3 times as well, Every time it's always at the same spot that it locks up.

It's weird though. Both MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf and Call of Duty: Finest Hour freeze up at the same exact spot; at the PRESS START screen after pressing START. My very latest backup was Ninja Gaiden and it is flawless. I have even tried patching the games from Craxtion and they still don't work. I honestly think that there is a new copy protection out that disables the games at that point when running a backed up game. I can't be a coincidence that two completely different games freeze at the same exact place. I guess some games just can't be backed up.

What are you using to make the .iso? Maybe your .iso program is bad. Also, try using a different burning program.
