Hi All, since i've had so much trouble finding all the correct info needed on how to correctly backup Xbox 360 games and have them stealthed correctly - I have created my own guide on how to do so with all my findings, i just don't want others to have to search for hours on end like i've had to

http://mod360s.com/i...o...8&Itemid=11

Many others have tried my guide already and are extremely happy with it - If you need to backup games here's the one and only guide you should ever need.

Please advise if there's any other useful information i could add to it

Thanks!

[mod360s]

Just updated the guide with more useful info

[mod360s]

Hey All - There were a few errors in the guide which i have since updated for everyone

I have had numerous people advise all is ok now so i hope this will help those that are having troubles with Backing up Xbox 360 games using other methods available.

Let me know if there's anything else is worth mentioning in the Guide!

Thanks....

Question I have not kept up to date on 360 backup cause it allways appeared to be a hassle. But I seen a YouTube vid of a non opened 360 playing backups and a pay to learn website for doing this, is there a dreamcast type backup method out there where no modding or firmware is needed?

[chessmastor]

Its a scam. There is currently no way to play back-ups on a retail 360 w/o modding your firmware of the DVD drive.

Don't belive evrything you see on youtube.

[mod360s]

I am 99% certain that there is no way of playing backup copies of your games on the Xbox 360 Console without first having the DVD Drive Modded - I'm sure alot of other would back me on this....

YouTube is definitely ful of Scammers, i wouldn't believe 50% of what shown on most YouTube clips....

Hope that helps

Excellent guide, the instructions worked perfectly. Thanks a lot!

[mod360s]

Hey Thanks - Glad you liked it and found it easy to follow

The whole idea of my tutorial was to help out others like you who've had problems locating a once and for all guide to backing up/stealth verify/and burn games for the Xbox 360 Console

I've tried to make it as easy to follow as possible - so far the feedback has been great, i'm always willing to improve the guide wherever possible

Thanks for your kind comments

could it be that the Kreon Drive (SH 162D) has problems with Pio-Mode?

[mod360s]

Yep this is a common problem when your drive goes into PIO mode, Change the Mode to DMA within Device Manager and you should be good to go,

Also try changing IDE/SATA connections on board and see how you go.....the kreons really do not like being placed on an expansion card

Kreons have alot of problems backing up games if you enclose SATA via USB, IDE via USB is OK....

Hope this helps :0

I think my Kreon Drive is not working as it should. If I put the Disk in any our drive, it says "DVD_ROM" or DVDNG.." in windows explorer, if a put it in my kreon drive, windows explorer freezes until i put the disk out again. XBC starts ans stops after 128kb.

I'll try it in another pc, but i think the problem is the kreon drive itself.

I checked your guide cause it's been almost a year since I've backed up any games, and wanted to see if I needed different settings after upgrading.  Everything looked fine, anyways, I gotta say that you put together an awesome guide.  Very, very well done.

Couple quickies:
Is there an advantage to running ImgBurn through XBBC?  
Is it cool if I just leave the layer break set at 1913760?  I don't see a reason to change this, but it's not like it takes more than 10 sec.

Again, nice write up.

[mod360s]

Hey thanks alot for your feedback - really appreciate it

Just to answer your questions....

Is there an advantage to running ImgBurn through XBBC?

No there is no advantage, more convenience than anything else, i used to always burn my images to IMGburn standalone after rip + stealth checking my image....In saying that i dont see the harm in just letting IMGburn run within XBC as it works and does a good job of it also

Is it cool if I just leave the layer break set at 1913760? I don't see a reason to change this, but it's not like it takes more than 10 sec.

Hey there - Sorry it's been so long since ive had to use the layer break settings that i could not really answer your question. To be honest, if it works, you may aswell leave it set, though for all my rips i don't need to set anything. I think XBC looks after these settings for you....someone else may have a better answer to this question for you though...

Hope this helps

Thanks,

Hey guys,
First off thanks mod360s for the great, easy to follow guide.

I've been away from the scene for a while so I wanted to check what the latest and greatest is. I've got a kreon drive running 1.0 and am ripping my own retail games for protection from crazy kids. I find that some of my games fail verification after ripping, all green until after the message "Stealth Check Passed!".

My question is if the autofix step really necessary when I know the original disc had a valid PFI, DMI, SS etc? In other words if I'm not doing anything illegal is the verify step really needed?


Thanks in advance,
Fed.
