u have to not include some of the video sequences - for instance the game intro.
just get it to the size that your dvd-r can hold!
PS burn at 1x for E.T.M!!!
trust me, tried it!

in the movies folder, there is a folder called FMV, these are the movie clips from the movie itself. these can be deleted, i have not tried it but a guy here said thats how he fit it to a dvd-r.

Ok check it out.I have backed it up to DVD-R.In the Movies\FMV folder,delete the first seven files.and it should be about 4.28 GB and it will play.You really only miss the Opening "demo"movie and the very first movie.But as far as I can tell,that is all.

Okay,I just opened up my RIPPED ISO and these are the Files missing.Only 4;c640_s.vid,c1500_s.vid,c1650_s.vid,g01_s.vid.
And it does work.I used the newest xISO to make the iso and burned it with RecordNow MAx 4.5,but let me also say this.I have had some wierd problems with this game ,as far as getting it backed up.The very first time I made a rip and burned it,it workedso I deleted the ISO from my PC.Then I needed another copy,Tryed to make one from original game again and this time it wouldn't work.It took me 5 more disks to get one to boot.But this RIP I have now boots.and I have made 6 working back-ups with the image for test purposes only,of course ;)Hope it works for you.

Did what you said Shank, but it's still too big!!. Are you sure it's only 4 FMV files you have to remove ? Very frustrating innit ? Don't know if this is relevant but I use GDFImage to create the ISO (I would imagine the ISO would be the same size no matter which Prog you use)

I deleted c640 to g27 video files and burned it onto a DVD using the software that came with my HP200i DVD+RW drive. It works fine. I am having trouble starting the game off the hard drive. It only works when I boot the Xbox with the backup DVD in the drive.

Yes Enter the Matrix only works from DVD backup, not from the hard drive.It will work from the hard drive if you apply these two patches(ENTER_THE_MATRIX_FIX_FOR_THE_GAME_CRASHING_AFTER_PROJECTX_FIX,and ENTER_THE_MATRIX_FULLDVD_REAL_FIX_XBOX-projectX) to the game before putting on the hard drive nand then it will play just fine.

That's news to me shank69ox since I've been playing mine from my HD. I didn't use any patches. Had to turn off the IGR in evox before it would play the first time though. Turned it back on and all is well now.

I just can't believe the problems that people have with this game... I have a full working copy on my hard drive. i have all IGR turned off..
I patched the default.ebe with craxtion
made an ISO with craxtion.. I dinnit pay attention and noticed that is was too fucking big for dvd
I extracted the iso FTPd it to my xbox and have had no problems at all..
It works fine on the HD with no patches except for the default.xbe file

whoa.. the reason why the game won't work without patches on the harddrive is the file format that the xbox harddrive can read, it cant read file names longer than 18 characters or something like that.
Some of the file names for enter the matrix are greater than that limit, however, it doesn't matter when played from the dvd.
if you are having probs, get the patches supplied above, or you can do it the old fashioned way and just rename the files that fail to transfer when you ftp the game to your xbox hd, then get a hex editor and hack the default.xbe and change the files to point to your new file names (way too much work, i did it but it only worked for a few levels, then crashed).
also, if you ever have any probs with games not playing from the harddrive or just rebooting your xbox, usually all you need to do is to patch your default.xbe file and remove the ms media id string.

Hi instead of thinking about making the game samller. i want to know how i could spand the game over 2 DVD-R discs. Is there a crack or patch to do this? how would i split the movie so that it asks for the 2nd disc for the 2nd part of the movie. This would solve backing up the whole game without lossing any of the game.

Colenz>>>I dont think so.I have never heard of anyone doing it.But if you find something,come back here and post the info on it.
Dank>>>> Tha post seamonkey did is the exact reason that the Matrix wont run from the HD.I have not seen anyone get through the entire game without the patches.If you did,then you got lucky.Mine crashed about 75% into the game.It works fine now with the patches.

I was having a problem copying this game from the original disk to the hard drive using xplorer. I decided to "piece mail" the copy by selecting one directory at a time. This seemed to work w/o a problem. Does anybody think there will be any problems playing the game? I personally do not play any games. I just back them up for my son (I know that he has a history of ruining his originals). Thanks.

Dank>>>>dawg you are a lucky SOB,for not having to patch the matrix.I have been trying different things.I flashed a bank on my mod with D.6 and tryed to back up the game.It didnt work.Sound,no screen.I too am using a 1.0 Kerenl 4034.But then today,PxHD Loader 1.2 came out.I used that.I doesnt even copy some of the files.So I went back to my other XBOX with PxHDD1.1 to look to see if 1.1 copied the files 1.2 didnt.And it didnt.They were there.So I copied that one to my PC HD,and flased to the box with 1.2.The game didnt work.I cant get it to work at all anymore without the patches.I want your XBOX.Sell it to me.LOL ;)
