Ok... Happy to help.. The guy I bought it from (the nme) is very helpful and is indeed on the forums i think - FoundMy! - Great support and great help from him..
Ok, anyway, I've got a LITEON DVD writer - this drive has a utility that lets me select my bitsetting (so as I have a samsung drive in my xbox 360 - I set it to dvd+r).. (Mine's LiteOn SOHD-16P9S 16x48 DVD Rom Black OEM), I'm running Windows XPSP2.
Ok here's the entire process I did to get a working backup...
I followed this tutorial to get the game ripped - (Using WXRIPPER)
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=18486Notes:
1. I used LOTR Return of the King - Disc 2 (PAL)
2. Emergency eject - This can be very tricky work.. Pushing the emergency eject is very hard sometimes... if you hear any mechanical click or feel the drive being pulled back in after pushing into the emergency hole, you have not managed to pull the tray out successfully without it being re-read. (Oh and a paperclip pushed about 5-6cm in will eject the tray - then just grab and pull it out (also don't do as the tutoiral suugests and click the stop drive - just do it whilst its still spinning). To get your ss.bin you will have to work on your own... their are tutorials.. but use ssmerger 1.6 to compare any ss you find be it on the net or via ur own method...with your iso.. If both the MD5 and ss file are a match, then you see green and are good to go. (see image below - just ignore the merge section because you already have and want to keep a separate ss.bin for converting in a mo. - It's just for checking your ss.bin against your iso that we're using this program - however if you want to make it compatible with the xtreme firmware then by allmeans merge the ss.bin at this point - it will not affect ur iso later)

Then extract the contents of the nme 360
file to a folder i.e. c:\nme - Ok, next take your iso and ss.bin file and put them into the same folder, re-label the iso (i.e. PGR3.iso) to IMAGE.000. Now click start - run, and type cmd - navigate in dos to c:\nme and then type convert.bat This will then add the nme conversion to the ss and the game file (If you keep a window open showing the contents of your folder nme, you will see that as the dos command works, it places a new iso inside the nme folder and it slowly grows in size.) Wait till this process is complete.
The new GAME.iso should be EXACTLY 7.705.657.344 in size (click properties on the iso to check). Now open up CLONECD (not clonedvd)..Simply hit the second button in from the left (pen and disc) to open an image file and nav to your nme folder - select the GAME.DVD file. It should load without problem. You will need a dual layered DVD+R to burn (I have tried MIRROR printable surface discs and they work fine), your 360 won't read any other format correctly. Also, make sure you burn at 2x or close as possible so your game is readable and doesn't skip.
OK, that's it! There's nothing else to it, I hope I left nothing out.
P.S. If you've soldered your chip in correctly, you will get 'put into a 360' warning on a iso that wasn't properly burnt - so that should help test your chips working condition.
Here's some other notes I was presented with from FOUNDMY - Thank him..
IF you use IMGBURN...
there is a program in called IMGBPATCH.EXE
in a dos prompt window run it like IMGPATCH.EXE GAME.ISO and it will correct
it so IMGBURN will accept it also you can take the GAME.ISO file and drag and drop it overtop of the
IMGBPATCH.EXE to patch it.... this fixes burn problems with ISO files in Imgburn.
Hope this helps will continue to support here as required. (IMG:
