Is it possible to backup 360 games if i dont have the samsung drive with the kreon thing?

Also, i downloaded an ixtreme 1.4 firmware named iXtreme1.4_Hitachi_C4EVA_rev1
Its 6.7MB.
Can someone tell me if this is legit?



Thanks

the size might be correct. bc i have a folder with all the 5.2fws in it (the old stuff so everyone doesnt start asking 'hey i thought 1.4 was the new stuff) and the folder is around 6.75mb.

You could always pick up a Samsung MS25 or MS28 xbox drive, however it's a lot more difficult than using the Kreon drive and not cheap enough to warrant it.

Yes. A dual layer burner will rip them with the right software and procedure. Try google to find out how. A ms25/ms28 360 drive will do it as well. But as mentioned above, it's not worth fussing with when the samsung/kreon flashed drive will do it without the extra steps/hassle.

As far as the 1.4 you have: my hitachi ixtreme file, unrared, is 14.7 MB straight from xbins. Same file name, minus the _rev1 part.

ok now i also added an image related to the xtreme 1.4 thing.
Does it look familiar to anyone.
I forgot where i got it but i just searched all over the web.
I cant get access to xbins and have tried over 5 tutorials. The new MIRC is different and the tutorials use the old ones.

yea and back to the samsung thing, since i dont have the samsung, ill have to go back to the hotswap.
If i dont have a large DVD 8gb+ in my house, can i just fill up a dual layer with 8.5MB of data and use that as a swapping cd?

Why cant you just get a Samsung. Why do u have to so difficult haha jk but idk I think it has to be a real dvd beacuse you need to change some code or something that the dvd brings with it

the thing is that im still not old enough to get a credit card. I cant order stuff off the internet myself. Just yesterday, i had to ask a parent to order that sata card from newegg.
but im really into this hacking game console thing. I flashed my psp back in the day. That didnt require much equipment. Now i wanna flash my 360 and i try to use minimum equipment.
I dont watch movies so i dont have the origonal dvd.
Its complicated to hotswap with an external USB Sony DL drive. The disk will come flying out like a boomerang without the top on.

haha man i know how that feels i totaly jacked my moms credit card back when i was doing mine a long time ago. Cost me like 150+ for all the drivers and cards and what not to even mod the 360. She wasnt to happy with me but i paid her back. I did the swaping thing once its not to to hard but its so much easier when u have the right stuff. As for the dvd just borrow a friends or go to a movie rental place.
