Anyone knows if it is possible to put more than one backup on one DVD with a menu to it? If so, please explain it to me.

Yes and its simple.

Get craxtion 4 from www.craxtion.com (plus the windows prog to make it run: read webpage)

Choose multigame wizard, choose your menu style eg menux mxm or cdx (some xbox's are fussy with menux though)

Add your iso images

let the program create a new multigame iso

Burn the multigame iso disk the usual way.

All done. Simple eh?

yea craxtion rocks for multiple game menu, theres 2 options too.
Bear in mind that although the capacity of a dvd is 4.7gb , you can only get around 4.3gb worth of games on a disc, as you have to take into account disc finalising etc.

yup, carxtion works perfectly ok, but I have a trouble using craxtion 4, I already instaled craxtion 4 & the net.framework. But every time I start the program, it's always hang (The screen goes like this...Unhandled exception, click ok to termintae progaram or click cancel to debug). Can anyone please tell me waht's wrong. Because I have using craxtion 3.1 and there is no problem with it.

i heard craxtion 4 is very buggy on making multigame disks, i read this off there forums, but the 3.xx version works great for me. you should take this website a look since theres going to be sometime were youll need to delete some un-necessary files to make 2 games fit into one:

I dont see how version 4 would be any different making multi games than version 3 (other than the inclusion of cdx menu)

I have made three multigames with craxtion 4 and dont have any faulty disks yet.

I've try using MXM but it's fail. So, I try using menuX, and that just works find for me, anyhow it depend on you. Which one do you like? in craxtion 3.1, I use menux but with MXM xbe file, and the result is fine.

Sky_Dave have you installed .net from microsoft? Its about 20 or so meg but it is required to run craxtion 4.

Also increase your screen resolution to 1024 by 768 (at least)

MW_Shorty i use mxm or cdx. Menu x does not work on my xbox.

Ok This is the situation. I made a multiple game disc with Craxion 4 and CDX menu. Only one of the five games work. One says "disc damaged or dirty", one (GTA3) starts up a few seconds. Two other don't react from the menu (IRHA Drag Racing and IndyCar 2005). So, what did I do wrong?

Shorty, the only way to see what is wrong is by burning the iso's you have created to a single disk and see if you still get the dirty disk error.

If you find that the games are still returning the dde then its not the multigame program that is causing the problem, but rather your iso file.

Did you add iso's to cdx or did you add folders?
Did you patch the .xbe files? ANd what program did you create the iso with?

Sorry for all the q's but at least we will get to the problem your having.

YOu could also try menu x or mxm if you want to....

Hi Clarky. Nop problem asking the questions. I am glad you do, so I will learn.
- I added isos to cdx, no maps
- I've burned (for instance) GTA3 before as a single iso, and that one didn't work either
- the others I didn't burn as separate isos yet. Will try one or two.
I did create isos with xISO, but I am using Craxion4 now.

well if the game didnt work on its own then it cant work as a multigame either. xiso is bagged a lot for its errors and rightly so.

Its probably best that you re-do the games with the *Disk Copy* option in craxtion 4 (with the game in your d:/) patch the .xbe's with craxtion 4 or qwix and then add it to your multigame disk.

If the one game worked then cdx isn't the problem, rather its bad iso files which are giving you your dde.

Also i find i have to burn my multi games at a lower speed (2x) to get the best results with them.

Anyway hope this helps


CLarky.

Clarky. I haven't got the DVD anymore to do the "rework". Is it an option to extract the ISO, rebuilt it with Craxtion and patch the.xbe?

yeah i guess you could. but i have never been able to extract an iso from disk before. IF its on your hdd that would be a better option. and then you could patch the .xbe files and remake the iso.

i have a question for all of you guys. i wanted to make a multigamedisc that had ssx3 and ufc tapout. but when i wanted to add the ufc tapout iso, craxtion said that it couldn't open it. this wasnt the only game that this has happened to me with, it has happened with other games. im using craxtion version 3.1, ive done plenty of multigames but every now and than im confronted with this "cant open so, and so folder.iso" is this a bug in the program or what?

I have had this problem once with the sims, didn't really bother me becasue i dont really like the game anyway. But yeah craxtion 4 has some issues with some iso files. Rebuild it with qwix and see how it goes.
