jaipee, hey wassup dude. First off, I'm kind of a noob (modded the 360 a month ago), and my friend uses HIS xbox 360 w/ an MS28 drive to make our backups. He uses the 0800 disc and his xtreme fw to boot into windows and use xbox backup creator to do his thing. So I'm sort of a noob at the hot-swap method and i'm probably the wrong mate for the questions, but I got some information for you that I think I can help:
Alright here's the deal. The ss merger program doesn't work really anymore because the guy running it didn't get enough donations to keep the ss confirmation database.
Basically the online database would make the bar green if it was confirmed working, however, now it is offline and all the ss files posted on that program is gonna be red
My advice: use xdvdmulleter 10 beta. This will load the ISO and tell you what region it is, if it's ixtreme compatible (stealth-patched w/ dmi, pfi, ss files and is randomly padded w/ the data partition), and will (Most importantly) stealth-patch your files for you. Now all you have to do is load the ISO, click autofix, and it will input all that is needed to make your ISO stealth. It can also insert the data partition/video data, and can make a .dvd file, and can rebuild you ISO, and yada yada yada. Basically the autofix feature will work as long as the ISO itself is a good rip, and it can do everthing except "randomly pad" your ISO for you (random padding is needed to work on an ixtreme fw, as it is stealth-essential).
Now I don't know how to get the ss files by the hotswap method, but u can get'm from xdvdmulleter after you get the ISO or from an online database as you previously said (although I'm not quite sure as to the legality of that).

Im also wondering is it possible to use the hot-swapping method to get the iso.. and then extract the ss using dvdinfo pro and merging them using ss merger?
Sorry I don't know that at all, if this is not answered in textbook tutorial, then search for some forums.
QUOTE
if u have the 360 connected to ur comp, do you have to dump the iso another way rather than hot-swap?..
I can only think that you can buy a kreon drive (textbook's tutorial once again) but that's all I know
QUOTE
co-incidence that there both HUGE games?
hmmm... I don't think so, as they're not much bigger than all the others (most are about the same size, my oblivion is 7,572,881,408 bytes.)
So yeah I'm basically a noob at the hot-swap method, but here's some tips jaipee:
1. most ss files you find should work w/ your game (as long as they are your ISO's region)
2. make your own forum in "Newbie Chat" and/or "Xbox360 Backup Forum - DVD DL help / ISO Building" (Newbie Chat will often get you some quick responses) and message people with similar forums, questions, or alot of knowledge to make them aware of your topic (I'll pm u of some specific knowledgeable people on this site (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) that can probably help u)
3. Try other xbox sites with the same topic question to try to find the right answer
4. Try to state one major question from the get-go in the forum topic, then add supporting information. That way people won't have to find it or many other smaller questions. Like title it "Can I extract the ss using dvdinfo pro w/ the hot swap method" for example ( i don't know if that even makes sense (IMG:

Good luck mate, and get my pm!
