thats not true at all ... burning at a slower speed will not make any difference in quality and will most of the time give better quality burns.

from what you are saying, if i had an 8x writer and bought 16x media the burns would all be bad.

I just burned a backup that was in the CloneCD format 360game.dvd and 360game.000
I used Clone CD no problem 1st try. Works Great.

I now have 2 more backups but they are in ISO format with just one file like 360game.iso
These are not the old bad images but one of the new 7+GB big ones with built in SS (or so the nfo file says)
I tried to open it DVD Decrypter and go that invalid file error so I decided to try using CloneCD.  
Now here is where I think I went wrong because my burn won’t read. I get Unrecognised Disk in my 360 when I try to play it.
I was not sure if the ISO would have the information about where to do the layer change built into it so I though I should make a CloneCD .DVD file for it.

I created a text file like this and saved it as gamename.dvd

-------------------------
LayerBreak=1913760
gamename.iso
-------------------------
I am thinking this was totally unnecessary. Do iso’s have the layer break built into them maybe? I am thinking about burning it again with CloneCD and this time just opening the iso and burning with no special options but these disks are as everyone knows rather expensive. Any advice on burning xbox360 .iso’s would be appreciated.

Thanks

DVD Decrypter will give you an error if it does not find a DVD Label or other data at the beginning of the file, I am looking into a fix for this. As for creating your own .dvd file, yes that was unnecessary (if you are using DVD Decrypter). In DVD Decrypter you set the layer break in the Settings and after that you can load any image to burn. From what you said about an NFO and stuff I assume your copy is pirated, in which case you're an idiot. CloneCd would require your .DVD file to burn correctly as ISO's do NOT have the layerbreak information built into them. If you do not specify a layerbreak and try to burn, then the program will burn the maximum capacity of the first layer (4.7gb i think), and then it will move onto the second layer. This will screw up the placement of the SS.bin and your burn will not work with the firmware hack. So yea, stop pirating, start reading, and you shouldn't have any problems.

Too bad.. .CloneCD really sucks.. make's my Windows (with 3Ghz Duo CPU )
respond really slow while burning.

Would love to use some other App...


Imgburn rejects all my images.. prolly because of the before mentioned 000000's
in the images.

The images themselves burn ok on Clone CD and can be played on 360.


Now to find a way to disable the image check in imgburn

[pastortom]

Okey.. here goes..

I bought a new xbox 360 core console here the other day and got a free game in the package, when I got home I turned on my console and started the game, only to experience the dvd drive spinning up REALLY fast and making an awefull sound.. but the game still worked fine (PGR 3) just lagged abit in the intro (for 2 seconds or so).. anyways, I thought about sending it back but then, since Im all new to the firmware hack etc, I checked  the dvd drive and found out it actually was the Toshiba Samsung drive.. So I forgot about sending it back, opened it up and hacked it.. now to the games..

I bought a bunch of xbox 360 games, so that I have the originals, (that way Im licenced to download the rip's of the internet).

The first game I downloaded was PGR 3, it said in the nfo file that it was just to open with nero and burn the nrg file.. I got kinda worried if this file would work at all, but to my surprise it did, Nero read it, I didnt have to do anything in my settings, everything worked fine! The Xbox 360 actually read this disc better than the original one.. no lagging, no high speed spinning, no noise.. Then I got to the other games.. Burnout Revenge and Ridge Racers 6. These games had one huge file each with the .000 file as well as the .dvd file.. I checked the nfo's for each game and it said the same:
Game Notes:                                          Û
           Û  o1. Flash ur TS-H943 DVD Drive with Xtreme Firmware  Û
           Û  o2. burn the image with CloneCD                      Û
           Û  o3. Play and have fun...  

So i thought to myself "dandy.. so its that easy"..

I downloaded the latest trial version of Clone cd and tried to open the .dvd files with the program. I only got "unsupported format or invalid file etc.." So I tried to open them in ImgBurn and DVD Decrypter.. same fault.. I removed the Layerbreak=blah blah line from each .dvd file  and inserted the numbers in the LayerBreak box in Settings - Iso Write. I got the same error.. didnt work.. wouldnt open..

So after what Ive understood, its not something wrong with my programs (clonecd, imgburn etc) or my dvd burner (Ive tried three differen once).. now running on an Nec DVD_RW ND-4551A (with booktype DVD-ROM))

So whats the problem here? The video file 00000 thingii in the .000 file? Bad ss.bin? in that case, how do I fix these images? Ive tried to read the "how to backup your xbox 360 games" guides, but I only get confused considering it takes everything from the beginning on how to rip your games with your xbox 360 dvd rom drive hooked up in windows etc.. Is there any guide for fixing broken ss.bin .000 xbox 360 iso images?

Can I just open this image in WxRipper and extract a new image and that way fix it with a new ss.bin and burn it as followed the guides?

I would be very happy if anyone of you guys could help me out here.. I really wanna figure this out..

Im using the latest xtreme_proper.bin from Commodore4eva..

and to the moderators, if Ive broken any of your rules Im sorry, In my case Ive bought every game on xbox 360 from my local store, and only downloaded ripped versions of the ones I got, so I hope I havent written or stated anything illegal considering your rules and regulations..

wow fixing a problem with a hack, nice

I'm not sure if any of the games with the .DVD and .000 downloaded off the net work, i have tried a couple (that i own) just to see if they would open in DVD decrypter, they didnt and i got the same error, im not really sure what to tell you other then if you can find another .nrg file that would be best (since one already worked) or do the rip your self (i admit it can be confusing to some but if you just go step by step with it you should be able to do it)

[pastortom]

btw, the reason why I didnt backup my own original games is cause I need my computer to be on 24/7.. no time to reboot and fix and all that.. only had time to hack the drive, thats why I download the iso versions of my games..

and I checked out "Xbox 360 Tutorial: Using ImgBurn to Burn Backups [including fix tool]" and Im trying this now.. if I still need to know anything else to fix my iso problems feel free to shout it out.. or if you know any easier methods..

btw, do i need to insert the ss.bin file all over again after "fixing" the bad image? (following Vince's guide)

[soloyo]

I can say that this method also worked for me 100% the first try.

[ViNCe_V]

This method is outdated, use the new tutorial

[pastortom]

what new tutorial? no need for SS.bin insertion? they all come with ss.bin and those made with Commodore4eva just needs to get fixed without any new ss.bin and then they should work?

[ViNCe_V]

The new tutorial in my signature that has the tutorial updated to use ImgBurn (the succesor to DVD Decrypter) and includes a tool to get your images to be recognized by DVD Decrypter / ImgBurn [you will first need at least one image that is already able to be loaded into DVD Decrypter / ImgBurn first though, ironic huh?]

[pastortom]

okey, but I already read your post, as I stated in my posts.. so I got confused, thought you meant another new guide..

another thing, are there different LayerBreak in different xbox 360 games? in an Oblivion .dvd file I saw a different layerbreak number =/

but back to the patching and stuff, after the patching DVD Decrypter read the file So im burning it on a Verbatim DVD+RW DL 2,4 X 8,5 GB DVD.. so I really hope this works.. Ive only used Intenso DVD's before.. and it only worked 1 time (9 wasted =/).. the funny thing was that it only worked with the .nrg file..

Im burning this dvd in 8,3x speed now.. it says on the cover that it only supports up to 2,4X.. I wonder if burning at this rate will actually work?!?

[pastortom]

HALLELUJA!! PRAISE THE LORD!! :D:D I GOT IT TO WORK.. Thanks Vince.. sorry for the caps lock.. I burned it at 8,4 X speed with DVD Decrypter and Ridge Racer 6 works great.. and its awesome.. just like on PSP.. (never tried it on other consoles before).. Thanks you ALL!! Deeply appreciated..

Vince, you might wanna add to your guide that 8,4 X speed (on 2,4X dvd discs) actually works if the brand is good like Verbatim.. (normally any good? dunno.. DL discs very good though

Good to hear that you got it to work pastortom, but thought I'd elaborate on a few points you mentioned earlier.

No, the tool does not alter the SS on the disc in anyway, all it does is replace the blank buffer space the blank360.iso made with a video partition that you can extract from a backup made using the wxripper method instead of the xtreme method. So once you use the tool to make the image readable by dvd decrypter/imgburn, you are all done, you just burn it.

QUOTE(pastortom @ Jun 2 2006, 05:53 AM)

The LayerBreak will be the same for ALL of your backups. This is because the layerbreak helps put the SS.bin file in the correct location, since the firmware hack always expects the SS.bin to be in the same location, the layerbreak will always be the same.
