Backup An Origianl Xbox Game?

Well, there's plenty of topics on this already...

If you ONLY have the xbox360, you're going to need to flash the dvd drive in the 360 with whichever ripping firmware is appropriate, Hitachi or Samsung. It's still a process of ripping from that drive onto your computer via Xbox Backup Creator or Schtrom360Xtract, then you want to burn it with something like the Xbox Backup Creator, CloneCD, or IMGburn. The drive you use to burn does seem to matter, Pioneer drives seem to work best, I keep hearing about the Pioneer 111d, and the media that you want to use is also a limiting factor, they say that Verbatim DVD+DL media is the best. Anyway, then you'll need to reflash your 360's dvd drive to actually running games as opposed to ripping them.

An alternative to using the xbox to rip is to get a Samsung SH-D162C drive and flash it with Kreon v.80 firmware, though do note, that the ss.bin seems to give some people some problems with original xbox games, so you might have to extract that separately, edit the hex values, and inject it back into the image.

All of this is the same procedure to make 360 backups, and from what I can understand it's not guaranteed to work for original xbox backups.

An alternative is to get a mod chip to play them, but I'm not sure about those details, though ripping is exactly the same.

By the way, ALL of the previous information can be found in the forums, and without much difficulty. But overall, I would recommend getting an original xbox and softmodding it to play original xbox games, since the 360 doesn't support all original xbox games anyway! ANYWAY, it's a lot of work regardless of how you do it.

Cheers,
