Okay, I know there's tutorials out there that show how to get IMGBURN to work in Ubuntu... But I am obviously not that bright, because I have failed every time I've tried. I would love to get IMGBURN and Xbox Backup Creator 2.8 to work in ubuntu... they are the ONLY two Windows programs I cannot live without..
Is it possible that someone can walk me through with yet another tutorial on how to at least get one or the other to work? Written like I'm an absolute moron and have just now installed ubuntu for the first time?? I would really appreciate it...

Well I don't think imgburn is needed.. and I think you will run into problems attempting to burn properly as that relies on pretty direct hardware access.. something wine isn't good at. Look at k3b which will handle just about everything (There is a lot more info in my dvd linux posts)
xbox backup creator?.. never used it.. try it and see what happens.. read the wine wiki.

Nah imgburn isn't required you can use any prog that burns dual layered iso's ,the small 1kb file that gets created along with the iso from my understanding is the setting for layer break the burning program needs,as for backup creator on ubuntu well post back & let me know how it went..lol..personally i'd just go get a xp machine to do any of those tasks that linux isn't able to due to no software for it,they're as cheap as

what is xbox backup creator.. is it some 360 thing?
if it's open source (look for a sourceforge page) you should be able to build your own.. but way too much of this console crap is released under the gpl without the software authors making any attempt to comply with the implied terms and conditions.

I have not (as yet) found or bothered to find a way to create ISO's of XBOW360 games under linux (too damn busy at the moment). However, if you have an 360 iso on ur hdd, then you have to do the following (easily found by google but im in a good mood)
check the ISO to see if it is compliant
file image.ooo
if the output reads DVD then do the following (if it reads XBOX 360 then it should be OK but does no harm to do the next step)
first of all, you have to patch the iso using imgbpatch.jar
java -jar imgbpatch.jar <imagefilename>
run the file command on your image again to check.
then insert your nice clean dual layer disk into the drive and from the command line do the following
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/hda=IMAGE.000
props to all who have posted this elsewhere, i do not claim this as my own coding (not smart enough :P)
dont try and be smart by burning any faster than 2X, you could well end up with a coaster. some ISO's willbe a bit hit or miss depending on the original encoding BTW, i got one that refused to play but it may be my box rather than the disk (it is now away after three red rings appeared)

Yeah it's a free image making software for 360 games it does all the stuff you need if you want to create stealth patched game etc,not that i've tried,i only use to make basic backups, it only creates an image you need a burning program to put the game to disk,in simple terms the software works along the same lines as any dvd ripper by removing protections

Then I guess theres no chance of it working because wine will only run in an emulated or real fat32 environment.

my xbc used to create iso files when it read the games, but now it is creating .dvd files ever since my machine crashed and I had to reinstall the new version of xbc. Any ideas why it is creating the .dvd instead of .iso. I have made like 6 coasters cause the games dont work.
Thanks

not the foggiest.. asking about a windoze application not working in a linux area isn't the greatest idea,..
probably a setting.. or maybe if it's still running in wine (horrid thing.. try dd on those rips) something to do with the hopeless fat32 requirement and the simple fact wine emulates win98
see if you can find the source code for this little monster of a program.. then build a version of your own to run native... that's how I would go about it IF I had a 360 and had even the slightest interest.

The DVD file is 1kb yes ? that's the info the burner requires to set layer break,there should be an iso file in the same place as that dvd file,i'm using the latest xbx creator & it's fine,one assumes your using complete backup instead of current partition setting

a few problems here.. first wine.. runs on fat32 or emulated fake fat32.. 4gb size limit.. imgburn wont work either (wrong aspi drivers or drive don't exist).. just doesn't work so linux burning app needed... dvd file redundant because linux burning applications don't use that kind of thing.. instructions for layer break settings posted earlier.

Hey SCORPNZ
the dvd file is actually the big file not the 1k and yes I am doing a complete backup. I don't know what's going on, like i said it used to work perfectly and now it's messed up.
Would you mind sending me some print screens of your settings so I can check them against mine, maybe something got messed up somewhere? Do you run it with ASPI or the other?
Thanks

remove your email addy,i only use the default settings,only thing i change is read rate however i don't play online,your best bet is to either create a new thread in the 360 section or go to a thread where wabashman,leerage or guesswho are,those 3 plus a couple of others would be best to ask

Yeah.. linux people don't tend to do this kind of thing.. and we are always scathing of wine and windoze applications XD
could be crap disks or even a burner failing.. can't be bothered finding out..
A couple of us have been brainstorming doing this whole process with native linux apps.. I don't have a 360 (and I have no plans to get one).. but I do know probably as much if not more about patching and ripping things using command line apps on unix and linux as anybody around... but not having a 360 I can only give so much time to solving other peoples problems as an academic process..
It would be a good idea to work out which part of the process is failing.. is it the rip or is it the burn?? theres a good question.
Thanks for the email.. enjoy your viagra offers ;)

If you are doing this via linux the guy's will most probably not be able to help,still it's worth a shot chances are they'll tell you to do it on windows machine,check the website for an earlier version of xbxcreator & see how that goes as well

Sorry,
you were right, the dvd file is 1k, the only other file is the image file which is the larger file. I don't know where the iso file is, is there an option i have to select on xbc? I removed the version I had and re-installed v2.8 and it still does the same thing?????

That's all you need
1kb dvd file is burn info & you select that with burn program not the iso or larger file
7-7.5gb file is the iso
I don't use imgburn i use clonecd & i use 2.4x verbs from singapore 8x are ok as well
You won't need the older xbox creator so reinstall the new one
Why do you believe the games don't work are you still using 1.5 firmware on the 360 drive if so that's why you can't play them,upgrade to 1.6,however t be sure download & install ABGX360 run the iso thru it,look for Wave 3 wording,this will confirm the rips are ok & it's just your xbox firmware so those coasters may be ok

the reason i say they don't work is that when i put the game in the xbox, it treats it like a dvd and brings up the play, rewind etc menu like for dvds... normally the games would start up normally.
I didn't mod the xbox so i'm not sure how to upgrade the software etc...

I am using Windows XP

Yes I have made games before and they worked fine... several games, but like I said I had the large file and an iso not a dvd 1k file.
3-How long ago was xbox 360 modded
maybe a year or so..
4-what are you using to rip game
I was using xbc for reading and writing the game, it always worked before.

You need to upgrade your 360 dvd drive firmware to 1.51 or 1.6,that's the reason the games no longer work,running any of those iso's thru abgx360 will show it's a wave 3 game & are unable to be read by old firmware,there are many posts thru out the 360 forum section in regards to this,not sure why you only have 1 file tho but so long as you set the layer break to the required number all should be fine,So waste of time creating anymore backups till firmware upgraded then use one of the coasters & see whether it plays,my guess it will
