I think lags and other stuff is XBR, not a xexloader...

Really dumb question, but have you tried renaming patch_xbox.hdr to main_xbox.hdr and patch_xbox_0.ark to main_xbox_0.ark?  Maybe the patch files are just new files.  Even though the xex might do some on-the-fly patching, maybe if you just have the patch files as the default ones it will work?  Doesn't hurt trying I guess.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm tipping that it won't work considering the .ark files on the game disc are close to 2GB and the files in the patch are a couple of MB (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I don't think replacing a file that's almost two gigs in size with one that's barely under 2 megs is going to give us the result we are striving for.

trials hd crashes on the first level.

oblivion and ghost recon crash at the first loading screen.
xbr just isnt stable enough with games yet.

can someone with freeboot tell me if they have the same problems?

[Morning Call]

im currently patching the rockband title update now for usb loading.

will report back with results

Hi,

I tried Forza 3 yesterday.
I have originally been playing this game using the disc and have progressed into the career, disc 2 is also installed.

When I tried Forza 3 through XEXLoader the game loads perfectly, however when I loaded into my career and went to do the next upcoming race after attempting to start the race the game states a 'dirty disc error'
I am assuming this is because either the track or car I am using is found on disc 2 and this cannot be found when running off XEXloader.
So possibly need to find a way to make my XEXloaded Forza use the installed disc 2?

Edward.

I used X360GameHack to patch Left 4 Dead 2 and it works great. I just cant find a way to get the baseball bat working. I deleted the title updates but still no luck. Anyone know of a way to get it working. I have unlocked it already in yaris swap

[LtDan313]

Also I would like to add that I tried to install Dead Space and it didnt work. I patched the game 2 times once with XEX Tool and once with X360GameHack. They both said dirty disk. I will try re ripping it again and post my results later.

Just thought I'd post my experiences with what I've tried so far (Xenon, Hitachi drive patched to iXtreme 1.51, using XBR and USB HDD). Please note, I've not tested any of these longer than 5-10 minutes at most so "loads fine" is no guarantee that the XBR lag isnt actually there. Infact, I dont recall any of my games not having issues in that regard - either through lag or crashes. One other thing I should mention, I probably DO have title updates in my cache for some of the games that have been causing me problems, so your attempts may differ. Would appreciate any feedback if other people have different experiences.

Heres hoping the geniuses behind XBR give us an update soon.

Seem ok

Batman Arkham Asylum - Loads fine
Modern Warfare 2 - Loads fine
Forza 3 - Loads fine
Tekken 6 -Loads fine
Borderlands - Loads fine
Lips & Lips #1 Hits - Both seem to load ok
Scene It Games - Loads fine
Bayonetta - Loads ok, but quite regular lag
Star Wars Force Unleashed - Loads ok, little bit of lag every now and then but nothing too bad
Need for Speed: Shift - Loads ok
Burnout Paradise - Loads ok
Trivial Pursuit - Loads ok
Pro Evolution Soccer 10 - Loads ok

Big Lag/Stability Issues

Ace Combat 6 - Loads ok, but starts to lag very quickly
Flatout Ultimate Carnage - Loads ok, but starts to lag quite quickly. Not unplayable however
FIFA 10 - Had to manually patch both xex files, crashed mid game

Unplayable(?) at the moment

Resident Evil 5 - Won't copy properly in Xexloader 0.12 or 0.26 (only seems to copy default.xex)
Dead Rising - Crashes on Loading Screen
Left 4 Dead 2 - Crashes on Loading Screen
Ghostbusters - Dirty Disc error, tried Quickboot, Xexloader's game list, and launching the XEX directly.
Virtua Tennis 2009 - Crashes with black screen after title screen. Audio can still be heard and the guide button comes up
Rock Band 2 - Same problems as reported elsewhere on this forum


Lastly, the "CopyDVD" function from Xexloader 0.12 definitely seems FAR better than the one in 0.26 to me. Conversely, the file copier in 0.26 seems alot more robust (but still far from perfect), so its worth keeping both on your HDD imo. Hopefully the next revision will give us the best of both worlds.

i found a game with a consistent repeatable crash, call of juarez 2 - in game press start then options - instacrash

lego indy 2 works great also not a problem

darksiders crashes on loading a game - meh im sitting xbr out for now - wait for it to mature.

From a purely logical point of view I can see that the problem is completely with XBR and not XeXLoader (due to the people using FreeBoot having no problems), so this topic should really be "List Of Games That Run With XBR".

Games I've tried (XBR):

CODMW2: Seemingly fine, played through the first few missions with no problems.
Borderlands: Game works perfectly... will occasionally lag to the point of being unplayable (when this happens just run to a save point, exit the game and re-enter... the lag will be gone). Whatever you do, don't turn it off when its lagging, if you happen to be respawning when the lag happens and you're near a save point it will corrupt your save if you turn if off.
Assassins Creed 1: Lags out on the title screen but I have been able to get ingame twice, where it lagged until the xbox completely crashed.
Fallout 3: Got to the title screen but didnt play the game.
GTAIV: Seems to work fine, occasional lag but nothing to worry about.
Dragonage: Played through the story for about 30mins with no issues, slight lag but nothing serious.

Odd, when I loaded Bayonetta there was only one level with any real lag to it, and that was the one where it's raining at the very end.

It seems like wherever there is heavy detail it lags.

Darksiders gives you about 5 minutes of gameplay time each time.
