I followed this tutorial step by step and got through everything except the burn. I successfully dumped my game, merged the ss files and now I'm stuck with coasters. I am trying to backup my copy of TopSpin2. I have a Pioneer 111D, Verbatim DVD+r DL 2.4, asus mobo, and tried both CloneCd and ImgBurn. When I use CloneCd the dvd drive's busy light goes off after about 2% and the time left says: "Unknown" When I use ImgBurn I immediately get : I/O Error.... Interpretation: Check Condition and few numbers then Interpretation: Write (10)- Sectors 25888-25919, and then a bunch of "Invalid Address for Write". If anyone has had a similar problem and got past this I could really use the help. Thanks.

Alright I managed to get the top off and switch the disk however after I tried to dump the game off using wxripper i was getting an error where I have the wrong media in and to put back "sin city" (the movie I put in) I'm trying to dump nhl 2007 and sin city is 7.8gb. Is it because I need a bigger dvd or did I do something wrong?

Worked perfectly for Rainbow six Vegas. Just got this game and wanted to see if this really worked with my Hitachi 46DH and yes it does. Although i have 3 coasters so far trying to back my Gears of War...

Finally got around to backing up my first game Gears Of War, using this method! Sweeeeeeet.

Equipment used
T2 Ultimate Edition DVD
Old Hitachi GD-5000 DVD-ROM I took apart to read the disc.
XBOX360 Hitachi GDR-3120L used for extracting SS, PFI, DMI
Liteon SOHW-1633S with BS0Y firmware with DVD-ROM booktype set.

Firmware
Maximus-Garyopa_XTRM-HITACHI_v2_3_Stealth_Rev2

Software
DvdInfoPro V4.36 to set the booktype to DVD-ROM on the Liteon SOHW-1633S drive.
Xbox_Backup_Creator_v2.3.0.185 to extract SS, PFI, DMI
wxRipper-1.2 to rip the game disc.
XBOX360_SS_Merger_1.7b to Merge and Create Layer Break File (using SS, PFI, DMI, and ripped ISO image)
DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0 to burn the resulting ISO image at 2.4X speed (Manually changing the layer break in settings to what is specified in the layer break file)

Works perfectly!

My Gears_of_War.ltf file (layout file) used in wxRipper (Only changed the 3rd line from C to D):

Nothing to do withany of these games.

Error @ 0

It is your swap that is not happening properly.

The rip does not even start.

It is common of the emergency hole trick, if that what you are using, not all drive can do it.
I found the Pionner quite receptive, for the rest it is not always a success.

No I didn't use hole trick. I open top cover like tutorial.

sosotiit · « **Reply #70 on:** January 12, 2007, 12:26:00 PM »

after you make the swap, you hit 'spin drive',
wait before you do the 'start dump',
instead click the wx360 button
-if the wx360 opens with all the files from the game, then the swap was good and start the dump
-if it does not open, it is the swap that did not work.

And the number on line 5 (342400) is the same you got when you did the magic number?

hope it helps narrow it down,

At first when it ask if you want to connect to the databse (not sure if the database even exist anymore, I never uses that), say no.
