I have a .MDF backup of an Xbox game with a .MDS included. (If you need to know what game it is tell me) I used PowerISO to extract the files to my computer, after that i transfered them to my Xbox. I ran the game like normal but it just kept itself at the loading screen. I took a look at the files I extracted to my Xbox and it only had levels in the Italian folder, I thought that might be the problem so I copied them to the English folder and it still did not work. I am suspecting that this has to be burned to work witch is no problem but I do not want to waste a DVD-R if I am wrong and it is a problem with the game itself. You should see my dilemma and I would be grateful for all your help.
I believe they will have to be in XISO, however I could be wrong. If you still have the files on ur computer, convert them to XISO with Craxtion, and then burn the XISO to a disk, and use DVD2XBOX to rip the correctly. I believe thats how you do it.
Thank you, I think you are right that I need to covert it to XISO and transfer it to the Xbox with DVD2XBOX.
But I have a second problem, I Bought Tony Hawk's Project 8 and it was very scratchy, so I decided to back it up on a DVD-R. It was my first time backing up a Xbox game and I followed various guides to back it up. I tried my first copy with Qwix and after the XISO was created I burned it with Nero then popped it in xbox it read the disc but when it was done loading it said "This Disc Is Dirty or Damaged". I looked up some guides and I thought it was because it was Microsoft Protected so I patched the .XBE with Qwix and remade the XISO Burned it with Nero and it done the same exact disc error.
Try remaking the XISO with a program called CloneXB, I guess it's better than QWIX (I have never used, but others have).
