Here's what I have:
Hitchi 79fl pot tweaked from 4.23 to 3.06 ohms.
NME v2

Burned on:
Windows XP PC
Liteon DVD burner
Memorex, Maxell, and Sony DVD+R DL

Ripped using:
Samsung D162C
Kreon v1firmware

I've tried backing up 3 games using the above hardware, I think I've tried every possible combination of software I could find depending on the tutorial I'm following. Changed booktype to DVD-Rom and DVD+R, neither mattered.

I tried using Schtrom360 and Xboxbackupcreator for ripping, NMEassociator and SSMerger for converting the .iso to NME compatible, burned using Imgburn, ClonCD and Xboxbackupcreator at 2x's and 2.4x's. All programs complete successfully.

SSMerger shows the MD5 of the iso and ss.bin to be the same although the NME MD5 is different (guessing it should be this way), the .iso is the correct size for NME chip and the layer break is set correctly in ImgBurn.

Every disc I've burned so far shows as being a DVD when loaded in the Xbox and goes to the "To play this disc..." screen.

I've also tried loading a few Xbox1 backup's and the 360 recognizes them as an Xbox1 game and tells me I need a harddrive to play.

I haven't been able to find Verbatim's locally and am still waiting for them to be delivered.

Can anyone shed alittle light on what the problem might be? If I'm receiving the "To play this game message..." is it safe to assume the Xbox is reading the disc just not loading the game? Problem with the ss.bin? Could it still be a disc issue?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Tried Verbatim's burned at 2.4x's, still same "To Play This Disc..." message.

Any ideas on what to try next?

id say the media is fine if you are getting the insert in 360 system to play this disc... because your console is oviously reading the toc and video file that displays the message...

generally bad media results in the game starting but soon into it it will say unreadable disc...

I'm having the same problem with my Halo3 backup.  It will boot fine sometimes and error out alot.  "Unradable Disc", "Unrecognized Disc". I thought it may have been something on the hard drive causing this.  Tried swapping hdd and all the same.  I performed the "xx LB RB xx ", I also unplugged the ethernet port and still same results.  One thing confused me was that I'd get another error saying "Failed to start game".  This is after booting to the lobby.  I really believe MS is indeed injecting something into the mobo that is preventing this particular backup to boot.

I have a Samsung ms28
Media used is Memorex (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Verbs from now on!
Latest firmware ixtreme 1.4

This is the only backup giving me problems!

Thanks, at this pioint I've just order another chip to install. Then atleast I'll be able to narrow it down whether it's a bad chip.

Xdvdmuellter says all should be fine with the iso.
