idog........... Can you please take a look at post #214?

I dunno if I missed it or not, but I tried to burn an image earlier today and I got an error saying that I needed to patch my image...

Since I have an NME mod, my image is already patched....

You mentioned you're going to add a burn-as-is button, or whatever.... Did I miss that update, or did that update ever come out??

I'm currently using the Terminal method to burn 360 games... I would like to try iBurn360...

Thanks!!!

Hi, if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd sincerely appreciate it.

So, I got this Gears of War image named .000 and one .dvd. As far as I know the .dvd is useless for me.
I copy the .000 image to a PC and patch it with NME-360 associator (selecting that the SS files is inside the image or something) and copy it back to my Mac.

I make sure the image is 7.705.657.344 in size and drop the image to iBurn360 and set the layer break to 1913760.
Using Verbatim discs and speed at 2.4x.
When trying to play the game I get the famous "To play this game, please insert into a Xbox 360 console" or something like that.

Hardware: 360 with Xeno360 chip.

Thanks!

Sounds like you have the same issue as Dopeyman and for now may need to use terminal to burn.

Tried using the terminal, burning went fine but still...it doesn't work. Same error "to play this game, insert into a xbox 360".

Even when I check the disk image I get "GOW.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'XBOX360" when using the file command.

Using a Macbook with Matshita UJ-857D drive for what it's worth.

Thanks

Hi, I have the same problem as some guys before. I drag&drop the .iso or .000 file into iBurn and click BURN; it then asks me to patch the file; i hit PATCH and nothing happens... cannot start the burning procedure itself. This happened to just 3 out of 13 games... I have no idea why. Using an iMac G5 (iSight) and Verbatim or Traxdata DLs.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yeh Ive had a similar prob when burning, only happened with one backup tho. It would patch then when clicked burn it would not update in the window as to whats happening, it sounded like it was burning but just kept spinning endlessly and I ended up with a coaster.

Although I got the same .iso to work via terminal.

Turns out I were using an old version of the NME-360 associator which didn't really patch the games correctly. So much for the wasted dvds hehe..

is there any type of ripping solution on the mac?

Ken_D · « **Reply #295 on:** August 07, 2007, 09:56:00 AM »

Apologies if this is a daft (or already answered) question, but: does iBurn360 work OK with "iXtreme" images? I'm not sure what the pre-burn patching does to the image, I presume it doesn't do anything that would break the iXtreme stealthing? Thanks in advance.

If your image is completely prepared the way you want it, I would not do any additional patching. If iBurn won't accept it, then I would suggest burning from the commandline.

Could you point me to the exact terminal command(s) required to burn? Thanks in advance.

I've tried burning an iXtreme-compatible image with iBurn360 (allowing it to patch when requested), and it booted fine on a MS25 with iXtreme 1.2c. I'm probably just being paranoid - what does the iBurn patching actually do?

It just makes the system see it as a burnable image. you are probably fine if it all works. There are various ways to test if your discs are stealth, and all that other stuff is correct. if it passes those, then you shouldn't have an issue.

BTW the terminal commands are in this thread.

Just found this thread - apologies for not searching properly before

Burned two iXtreme backups with iBurn360 so far, and both are fine booting. Interestingly, the ISO's show up as "proper" ISOs using the "file" command, so I'm not sure why iBurn is asking to patch them. I'll trust that iXtreme won't boot anything except a 'true' stealth disc, and I'll burn from the Terminal in future.

Thanks again.
