so now that i have gotten everything done and a few games copied and working, ive run into a situation. ive backed up tomb raider, and am using the build360 batch file, but it exits at the same spot every time and i end up with a file around 259MB. anyone encounter anything like this, or could it be the game? perhaps i did the ss.bin incorrectly?

Even if you created an improper ss.bin, this would not disrupt the creation of the Image.000 file, it would however create an invalid image that would not boot. The only thing I can think of is making sure the blank360.iso is there along with the game.iso and the ss.bin. In other words, after you're sure all the pieces of the puzzle are there, make sure you have enough free space. In order to get a better understanding of what is going on, instead of launching the bat file, go to Start Menu then click Run. In the Run Dialog box that pops up type cmd.exe and hit enter. Now, open up the bat file in Notepad and you will see it is only one line. Copy and paste this into the black cmd.exe window and hit enter. Now when there is an error, you should see it. If you don't see any error, then post back and I'll think of other stuff.

thanks so much-- idiot me forgot to rename the .tao to iso, so it was building the rest of the file without it! it burned fine! although, i did just backup my king kong, and i got my first coaster (disc is unreadable error) whats the likely cause of this? bad ss.bin ? improper image? (bad rip, scratched disc, etc)

Most likely it is the a bad SS.bin, I'd recommend getting a SS.bin from somewhere else (maybe a friend who made a backup too, I'm not sure what X-S's stance is on downloading SS files from websites or if that's considered piracy, and that stuff). But anyway, yea, it is far more likely you have a bad ss.bin (compare yours to someone elses to verify you messed up), and if you still feel your ss.bin was made successfully or you get another coaster, then it must be a bad rip. This could be due to scratches, but that wouldn't cause the game to not load (it would just cause the game to freeze/give a read error when you get to the formerly scratched part of the disc in the backup game). In other words, the scratch doesn't affect the reading ability of the backup unless one of the main files is missing, in which case you can test this by simply putting the original into the 360 (if it boots, clearly it's fine). Again though, most likely case is bad ss.bin.

I finally found a sata pci card that works. It has a vt6421l controller. All you have to do is use a hex edited mtkflash and update the drivers for the card to 520c.

Hey ViNCe_V

It must be the burners, Clone CD doesnt like them and doesnt detect them as bering a dual layer as it says it only has 4.4gig free.

QUOTE(Darkness_au @ May 20 2006, 01:14 AM)

Yep it was the burner, I got a new Liteon and now I dont have that CloneCD problem.

I just got a new Sony dual layer burner and again I got the same error. I've set the booktype correctly and everything, but I always get that Overburn Request popup from CloneCD when I try to burn.

Have you actually gotten this PCI card to succesfully read/write firmware?

I am using v5.2.8.1 which I believe is the latest version. I have no idea what's wrong, is there any other program that can burn these images?

CLONECD IS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SH*T PROGRAM! I succesfully burnt my backup using DVD Decrypter. You can find my tutorial for it here. I should have never doubted the godly powers of DVD Decrypter, lol.
