Hi,
Thanks for all the great info here. I have read a lot and learned a ton. I was able to flash Hitachi 59DJ drive with the latest version of Extreme 2.3. I successfully burned 3 downloaded games and they play fine (Dell Inspiron 1505, Sony DVD+RW, CloneCD, Memorex DL DVDs). However, I have three other games that I burned using the same hardware and process and the XBox tells me that the game is unreadable. Since I can't vouch for the credibility of the images, I'm not ruling that out as the problem. But, when I flashed the drive, I got the following results which raised some concern. Should I reflash? Is this normal? Should I try a different burner, media? Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance if I over looked reading something.
