Timyon- It's encryption my friend. Every official game is digitally "signed" by Microsoft using a 2048-bit encryption key. If this was cracked then you might get somewhere just burning the ISO with Nero. Until then you're just wasting your time.

i could see this thread being a real headache for some of you great techs out there... and im sure i could figure this out with a little determination.... but i feel its best to leave this trick in the bag for now... i definetly want to do this and im sure i will.... ill wait till i get the mod chip installed and figure out a lil more about networking before i bother anyone about this subject... i dont even know what a mac address is or why an ip is static.... lol but my neurotransmitters arent producing enough static to wanna brainbust this one wide open... @ least not yet anyway...im just taking up space i will shut up now

Never tried Silent Hill 4, but Gun copied easily with Qwix and burned with Nero. Just another day at the office.

No troubles with either of these, both small enough as well so I can't see why the problem..I never used c-box tool, don't need to..got this down pat.. but from what I read it's ok

There needs to be a disk in..open one of the other drive folders..then go up a level and the D:\ should then have a size and you can open it...
Make sure you use something like cloneXB for the xiso till you get the hang of it...Qwix is awkward..
@miltont...if you still here...
Sounds like you run out of drive-space...heh heh ;-)

Try copying the game onto the xbox HDD and moving them from that folder..Maybe firewall issue..

ok so i read and read and read but the question i have is .... how do you get a game to burn on a dvd if its less than 1gb but more than 700 mb weve tried but cant seem to get it to play or for that matter even burn i think we use the programs qwix, Nero, DVD Decrypter, and one click dvd. i dont know if it is possible but i hope someone can answer this for me i am a newbie to the burning system thanx for the time to read this.

Ain't it a pig?...Can your xbox play the disks you using?.Size doesn't matter..Galleon..I have on both..If CD try burning an audio cd...dvd try copying a film...If they work then you need to be sure you made an Xiso...see earlier..
jjc with the FTP issue...Are there any errors coming up...This does sound like a firewall or permissions problem..Try clearing out the folder E:\cache (just the 2 or3 files in it..not the folder)..if that fails then try transferring the other way, an avi or mp3 or similar..just remembered..check your ftp app (tools or options on the toolbar menu ) to check you have permission to delete/move files..
Sorry for the late answers...uplink problems with weather...

ok,any game that cannot fit on a cd-R...unless it is a DVD-Film than it won't work.....The only way is to ftp the game to your HDD and play it from their..Plus it also saves disks

There are about 40 games that go on a cd-r..Rollercoaster Tycoon..Jacked..Speedkings..Galleon..Ford vs Chevvy all come to mind..They will go on either cd or dvd as long as you make the Xiso yourself..not something ready made you downloaded(roller coaster tycoon needs a dummy file as well on a dvd..only 188Mb otherwise and a bit small for the drive to pick up)Then a strange one..Monopoly Party comes out at 745Mb but burns to dvd no problem. Any iso over about 710Mb needs a dvd and then the limit is still 4.3-4.4 Gb...so 50Cent is out at a massive 5.7Gig,, you can't even ftp that onto a stock drive..there isn't a partition large enough...It's into the world of dual layer burning and I don't have that kind of technology..
As for burning I just use Nero Express and burn the Xiso as a saved project at 8x on dvd and 24x on a cd..So far there are over 300 disks in my box..
(edit) I had a weird one last night..Cabelas Outdoor Adventures..came out at 848meg but insisted on being burned on a cd (even though I set my drive to dvd! it changed the mode at the burn)..then Nero said there wasn't room...I found the solution, I burned the iso with Alcohol120 in dvd-dao-raw mode and no more troubles..

Your Xbox also needs to be flashed. While there are several ways to do this, auto installers are the best (they flash, install dashboards, apps, etc.) Our fellow board member djboogie has made an auto installer, so lets support him and use his if you haven't flashed your xbox yet
OK.... huh? I have soft modded my xbox using Knaves Ndure 4.0 Splinter cell game exploit. Then I used AID 3.0 to install other apps and such. Do these auto installers "automatically" flash my bios, or do I need to do that manually.
Basically, how "auto" is "auto?"
Am I making sense?

Softmods don't "flash" the bios. It installs another bios into the hard drive and re-directs your system to use the one it installs instead of the original.

Gotcha.
So if I have softmodded my xbox, then I will be able to play burned games? Without flashing my bios?

Put this here because it's the complete guide..
Found a way to burn working disks with the Asus 1608 and the Pioneer 109
They don't work if you burn the ISO, but if you mount it in the new update of Alcohol 120% first then copy disk from the mounted one no more problems..
The update has fixed the problem of the "Invalid sector size" that was the result of trying to mount the image previously : )

You have two options my friend, you can either softmod the xbox yourself (all you need is Splinter Cell, Mechassault or 007: Agent Under Fire and an action replay device [or another modded xbox]) or you can send it away for a cost so that they can do it for you

Now can someone please help me with a problem I have making backups of my games, (Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and Fifa 06) as I have followed this guide step by step and my softmodded xbox will not read the discs (Mirror Platinums) burned with either Nero Burning Rom 7 or DVD Decrypter. Would I benefit from using Craxtion rather than Qwix?

You would probably do better using CloneXB and nero6/alcohol 120%...and better disks..are they by any chance + ? Try burning a film on one and see if the drive picks it up...If it doesn't play a film then it's the disks...lol.. a note about Craxtion... is your OS "legal"? you have to go begging to MS for the runtimes to use it.. and it's complicated buggy **** anyway. I don't use it and only hear of people having trouble with it, wasting disk after disk and getting annoyed.. Qwix is easier but still a sledgehammer to crack a nut...In 3 years I have only had to use it twice!! and never had to use crax... These apps were made for building homebrew apps and installer disks.. they aren't for (no offence intended) n00bs.. get cloneXB or extractXiso and make life easy
Once more with feeling...
The way to rip an xbox game is
FTP the contents of the disk into a folder on your pc
Make an xiso with cloneXB or extractXiso
Burn the iso as a saved image to a dvd-r at 4X with Nero6 or Alcohol120%
Put it in your xbox and play it!
Simple...
3+ years ago when I started people had a simple answer to this question.... "F.. off and do some learning"..(they weren't usually that polite!) and then you got banned from the site for piracy... How times have changed :-)

Ok thanks for the advice, upon inserting a movie disc it says 'No Disc' rather than 'Unknown'. I am in the process of trying Extract-XISO just in case. As for CloneXB, that came up with some sort of 'incorrect parameter' error. Oh and I know what you mean about people's attitudes a few years ago http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2001feb/bga20010210004262.htm
