Alright, so I have the ISOs for a few games and they are already backed up (meaning the files are ready for burning) that I got from, ahem, my origonal versions of the games.

I already have a softmod to play my backups with.

So, a lot of these ISOs are almost 7 GB, so how exactly am I supposed to burn them to DVD?

It it an absolute nessecity to buy a dual layer disc, or is there any other way? (i.e compression)

If so, how can I proceed with this?

PS

I already have that Qwix software.

I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer.

It all depends of the game. You can?t compress the games but you can delete languages and xbox live dash upgrade files, which can significantly reduce the size of some games. Some games require DVD9 discs like Metal Gear 2 Substance. Do a form search of the particular game you want to skrink.

Thanks man, will do. But from what I've been checking out I think I'm just gonna have to dish out the 4 bucks for the Dual layer disc. (lol, turns out my writer can already write DL)
