Could a bad ground connection (to TP405) cause the E64 error I'm getting? Also the TP405 is in a different location on my drive than the nme-360 website shows, is there an alternate point I could try.
Thanks,

Hey all!

Maybe i'll give one or two good clues,
because i know some people with premodded boxes with NME 1.1 and 1.2.

NME 1.1: Has to be activated first. Power up xbox with the eject button.
The inner (o) led should then turn off. Then you should put in your backup.
If you put in your backup without, you only get a message saying you should put this
disc in a xbox360. Also turns out to suffer from heat problems and bad soldering  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

NME 1.2: Behaves exactly as what the description said for the 1.1 version,
automatically recognizes whether original or backup copy has been inserted.
Eject button has no special effect.

Naturally, self-modded boxes may vary in behavior.

For the drives, have a look at:
http://konsolenprofis.de/xbox360_umbau/xbox360-laufwerke.jpg
The leftmost drive of the three, a philips, is not compatible with nme at all.
Appears all of the premodded drives have toshiba/samsung drives, easily
recognizable with only one hole. Nice fact: booktype doesn't matter to those.

Finally, never forget to run your images through nme ass0ciator.
And i can only repeat what's ever been told, and most important:
use verbatim dvd+r dl media, if you have a decent burner then
recording speeds shouldn't matter. Up till now i have burnt with
an lg gsa 4163 but more often with a plextor px-760a.

All progs you need: schtrom360xtract, imgburn, NME-360 aSSociat0r
but you can use whatever you like to create your backup...

Hope it helps a bit

False. NME 1.1 autodetects backups and turns itself on/off depending on what it is found. IE) I can leave a backup in the console, turn it on using the wireless controller and start playing said backup. I have installed 4 NME1.1s and noone has complained about it not working as stated. (Did one Xeno360 today where you DO have to activate it with the eject button).

I believe booktype doesn't matter to either drive. The Phillips drive was only in dev units, according to what I've read. THOUGH there is a new BenQ drive that won't be compatible for a while.

True. Though I haven't had any problems with Memorex media. I only burn at 2.4x. Though I haven't had any problems with the Verbatims I burned faster. 8x? I think.

Team underdogs instuction site is pretty poor !!

is there anywhere that does a proper install guide ideally the idiots guide to installing the chip


blinded by science, anyway if there is let me have the link as ive got 2 chips arriving early next week


many thanks

I too have a pioneer 111D usin git with NME 2.0, I have so far got 2 games working using imgburn using verbatim discs and infiniti, strangly the infiniti discs are the 2 that work ok? Just get Open Tray error on others.

I need to know if the Pioneer 111D with manufacturers firmware is ok to use or should I try another drive? I friend is gong to give me a Pioneer 109 to try.

All the discs that wont work on the NME chipped xbox work on my flashed xbox? I am using the NME associater to patch the iso file then ImgBurn to burn it. I this the discs are ok, they certaninly work on my flash console. Is there a known proble with NME2.0 and pioneer 111D.

Thanks in advance.

[FATGUTS]

Hope this helps someone else other then myself, after countless coaster burns i think i found what works (for myself but perhaps someone else too)
heres my equipment
BURNER:Pioneer 111D burner
READER: Samsung SH-D162C W/Kreon
MEDIA: HP DVD+R DL
burned tons of coasters tryin to figure out what worked for me so thought i would share it and hope that it helps someone else out.
1st, uninstall Clonecd if u already have it on your pc
2nd uninstall IMGburn
Reinstall IMG burn if u use that, then install Clonecd then do a pc restart
(something happens when you do a fresh install of the clonecd that helps)
ok so once thats been done you should be good and ready to start makin the backups
here is the process that i have learned works for my system

1: EXTRACT IMAGE(i use XBC v 2.6)
2: now theres different ways you can go about doing this but heres my method
use Mulleter and load up the ISO, make sure everything is good there. Now, if you dont have a .dvd file for your ISO, extract it here using the "other" tab on mulleter and selecting "make .dvd file"
if you do have a .dvd file you will need to get the SS file from your image on the "stealth" tab
select "EXTRACT SS" and save that along with your ISO image file.
3: open up Xbox360 SS Merge (i use version 1.7b)
Select your ISO file, hit OK on the promps except for the one that asks yes or no, select "NO"
then thru xbox 360 SS Merge: put in/select the SS file that you created earlier with Mulleter.
make sure that the option: "add video partition (xtreme style)" is UNCHECKED
and that "CREATE A NME COMPATABLE ISO" is CHECKED
now hit "MERGE AND CREATE LAYER BREAK FILE" should get a prompt after its done saying its ready to burn
now (but its not actually, at least not for me)
4: now open up "NME-360 aSSociat0r"
on the merge tab select your ISO AND your SS file.
now just switch over to your "CONVERT" tab
CONVERT
and its now ready to burn, i have tried numerous methods of burning, and this is the only way that has proved to be 100% effective for me, other methods sometimes work, but most often just give me coasters
so i hope that someone else is able to use this with the success that i have had with it

**IMPORTANT FOR PIONEER 111D USERS**
If you are one of the many people that has this burner, and plan to put this modchip in, you will have to get another burner. This burner will not proper burn the image to be compatible with NME-360 modchip, yeah i now it sucks, but this is the true and it have been teste by my self and other of my friends.
Thanks..

I have to disagree man!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont understand where you get the from...... I have a Pioneer 111D and it works great!! I have an nme 1.2 chip and I have never had a problem (been using for over a year now). I have probably burned over 40 discs with this drive and never had a problem....I backup with my samsung and burn with my pioneer.........Is there something that I'm missing here??

ALSO
I also burn my wii games with my pioneer, which is a totally different subject, but the wii is WAY more picky about percise burning than the 360. The pioneer is known for it's reliable and stable burning.

[riffman2525]

Guys Guys Guys........I think you all are making this WAY more complicated than it really is.....This is my method and I think it is WAY less confusing.....NONE OF THAT EXTRACTING AND MERGING ALL OVER THE PLACE........here goes... this is for NME chip of course

My equipment:
1.samsung drive flashed with Kreon software
2.pioneer 111D drive to burn with
3. Schtrom360Xtract V3.2 (there may be a newer one but this works fine)
4.NME aSSociat0r
5. Imgburn

Steps:
1. open Schtrom360Xtract V3.2, select samsung drive, by task: whole disc (stealth extreme 3.0), click extract
2. after that 1 step you have 2 files............, NOW, open NME associator, hit convert tab, select the ISO FILE you just extracted (not .DVD), Click convert...........BOOOOOOOOM DONE..........
3. load the .DVD file in Imgburn...... BURN............ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really dont understand why ppl want to go through all this extracting merging and all that confusing crap....
I hope this helped someone out.......DONT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH ALL THAT CONFUSING CRAP
OH and I also burn at 2x.....it's slow but the slower you burn the more stable your burn will be, which means you will have a smaller chance for errors, and the 360 doesnt like errors.....

I also have the Pioneer 111D with original firmware.

But so far all discs that I have tried for the NME2.0 aren't working.

I took an iso that I had on my drive and used the convert tool from NME.
Burned with cloneCD.. disc didn't work.

Is ImgBurn better to use for NME ?? Cause I have never had a problem with CloneCD for iXtreme before.

thanks

I agree that some methods are more confusing than others, but I would suggest using SSMerger to extract and re-insert the SS.bin file.  There are good guides (esp. LetsMod) that take you step by step through using XBox  Backup Creator, SSMerger and ImgBurn to create a perfectly working backup.

In regard to FATGUTS method of extracting the SS.bin with DVD mulleter, re-inserting  with SSMerger and then using NME Associator I have a few comments.

To simplify this method you could just use SSMerger to both extract and re-insert. Also, once the SS.bin is inserted with SSMerger why do you need to then use NME Associator to do the same thing. The process has already been completed by using SSMerger in the first instance.

Once the SS.bin is inserted with SSMerger you have finished creating the ISO to burn. Now just run ImgBurn, load the .dvd file and burn to a good quality (Verbatim) DL disc and use.

[jROC99]

Got mine working...

I can confirm that the Pioneer 111D does burn the NME images properly.

Also I used FujiFilm discs, which also work fine, not to mention alot cheaper than the verbatims.
If you can get verbatims on sale.. by all means buy them. If not the Fuji's are a great alternative.

I simply took one of the games I had on my hard drive and used the NME Associator to convert it.
And then burned with CloneCD the same way I did for Ixtreme images by pointing it to the .dvd file.

Simple way for those to check to see if the chip is working with a BenQ drive.

1. Power on x360 by a quick press of the power button = chip off. In this mode the console will read originals and not backups... obviously

2. Power on x360 by holding the power button for a few seconds = chip on. In this mode the console will not read originals but it will read backups.

3. Also check to make sure your wireless controllers are working.

If all that looks good, then you have a working install. Keep in mind this is from my experice with a BenQ unit. I can not speak for other models at this time.

Also a note on chip placement. I place the chip on top of the drive unit. And ran the wires from the points on the board outside the dvdrom and onto the chip. By using different colored wires for each point and writing them down as you go it's very easy.
You can find a picture here. Also make sure to insulate the top and bottom of the chip with electrical tape.

Faguts... I have successfully made a backup, however created 2 coasters. In your point 4 when you associate it with NME-360 aSSociat0r, it breaks your image and the disk does not work. For somereason there is not clear straight way to make perfect backups on nme2. This modchip is so difficult to handle.

I know it happens on the NME 2, but does this same problem occur on the Xeno 360??

For NME 2. So far the best way I've found it to work is.
* Extract ss.bin using dvdmulleter
* then on ssmerger select nme option and ignore all the warnings.
* finally use only clonecd to burn using only the DVD file.

[Derfuhrer]

My two cents...

I was having problems getting working NME burns on my Pioneer 111d....till I bought the latest Pioneer 115D. This now has no problems burning..

Use Verbatims or Ritek
SS merger 1.6 to convert iso
IMGburn
Booktype set at default

Works fine for me  

[ZWinFlame]

I had the same problem.
My Backups work fine with LiteOn (booktype +R DL) and burning with max speed.
