firmware on pioneer dvd burner is 1.19, which is what was on it from factory, I have the hitachi drive in the 360, i use clone cd 5.2.9.1 to burn the backups.
its kinda hit and miss, I burnt table tennis didnt work nhl 2007 works and bomberman dont work all were pre-patched and all on fugi dvd+r's I was told by the modder that verbatims will not play on my 360 with the hitachi drive.
any idea why some are working and some arnt, ill try a verbatim and see, but Im tired of wasting these expensive dvdr's

Your version of ccd is the latest, so that's good. Suggested burn speed for these games is 2.4x I have no clue why that modder would say not to use verb.s. They are the best and work with all 360 drives.
If some games work and some don't, that would most likely be a media/burn issue.
Which firmware did the modder flash your hit. drive with? With the older firmware which was out for the hit. drive, alot of people were having read problems. Some people even suggested adjusting the pot to get the drive to read better. That's why the hit. drive got such a bad wrap. But it really ended up being an issue with the firmware, not the drive. With the new firmware which is out for the hit. drive, those problems are taken care of.
