You would never get into a discussion unless you had all the information first? do a lot of reading do you? Discourse is an excellent way of learning. And no one should feel bad for asking a question, just cause you already know the answer. in fact, why read the forum at all if you don't like to hear opinions other than your own, actually scratch that, that is very understandable, it's good to get out the agression.
Damned right I wouldn't. It's ignorance at its highest, especially when you're asking on the INTERNET, which is the largest information repository on the planet.
Most of us acquired the knowledge we have by reading the literature already available to us (and spending a considerable amount of time doing so). To answer - YES, I do a helluva lot of reading. You need to in order to understand. Asking questions/discussing on subjects where the information is readily available, which is why I suggested you not return until you understand what you're talking about. Ignorance is no excuse - neither is lazyness.

I didn't post cause I didn't understand. I participated in a discussion, cause I understand and agree with his point, which of course, to you means I'm a moron, which is fine, we aren't having an intelligent discussion or debate here.
You DON'T understand his point - that's the issue. I suggested he just copy the content to a DVD+R DL on the root of the disc as files/folders and run from XeXMenu. This WILL work for what he wants. This obviously wasn't enough for the guy which is why I asked the question.

Well, my point is that it'd be cool to be able to get things like patches or dlc onto a usable disc, which of course isn't likely to happen as we've discussed already. I think his point was to patch the disc so he could not have to install all the updates to his HD.

i tried to patch a mw2 iso with the hacked files but it corrupted the iso because one file was larger than the original file.
Nothing about patching updates whatsoever. Note the word HACKED. He's talking about a version of MW2 to go online with and make money from others selling access to a console offering Prestige Mods. It's a shame I've had to paste it here as you should have read this before posting anything. I know fine well what he was looking to do. Whilst I may not agree with the principle, I understand people are doing it. I'm not going to help someone do it - that's my choice.

That's how learning occurs.
It might be better to say I'm stupid or ignorant, obtuse usually implies that something is easy to understand and someone isn't understanding it or strongly in defiance of something that makes sense.
You entered a discussion on something you know little to nothing about. It's not a live conversation - you had the time and ability to read up on such things before posting (there are THOUSANDS of posts on JTAGing across the net) and still decided not to. That's pretty much the description of obtuse right there.

At this point I understand it fine and still disagree with you, which for some reason, you find unfathomable and horrific. whether there is a reason or not is a point of preference, not fact. There is no factual evidence that their is no reason, just no reason you like.
It's obvious from your initial post you DON'T understand and that's my point. It's 'horrific' that in a domain with so much information available, people are so decidedly lazy they don't even bother to read what's already available to them. This belongs in the newbie section FFS.

A few years ago I'm sure you told anyone who asked if you could play backups on an xbox360 that they were obtuse cause you can't do it and it's stupid to ask, but over time that changed.
You've made my point exactly here - it wasn't known at the time and there was no information on it happening. In this case it would have been ok to ask!! There's no excuse for ignorance now the information features on every single 3rd Party 360 website imaginable.

What I want to know is, why do you read peoples posts when you only want to talk to people who agree with you? I'm serious, I'm not trying to be a jerk, though I do admit I'm only arguing with you for the sake of itself. If you don't like this guy and you don't like me, and you think anyone who wants to have stuff on a disc instead of a hard drive is up to no good or obtuse, why talk at all?
I don't know you or the guy in the OP, so it's not a case of like/dislike. It's pretty immature to think I'm going to base an opinion on someone on a few forum posts - 20 years ago maybe, but certainly not now.
Like I already replied here and previously, I gave the guy the suggestion of putting the folders/files onto a DVD+R DL and run from XeXMenu would suffice. This wasn't enough (and he should've already known this was possible), hence my questions. If people are going to be offended (you including) on others asking questions on what they're trying to do, you shouldn't be here. You stand by the 'ask questions to gain information', so why doesn't it count both ways? I've already stated that I've worked in Solutions Development for many years and asking questions is paramount (when the information isn't already available) to finding a solution.
I really couldn't give a rat's arse if you agree with me or not - the fact you've admitted you're arguing for the sake of it pretty much sums you up, and me calling you obtuse was right on the nose.

lol just stop fighting already you guys. Were here to help each other. The guy likes what he likes. I like having actual cd's too. Although in my Original Xbox I have a hard drive installed. Has anyone actually posted an answer on this thread? lol
Once again...
He should already have the original DVD - there is no need to re-write it to optical storage.
In fact, it's counter-productive since if any new hacks are released, he's got to go through the entire process again and rip/patch/build/burn. If he's not ripping from his original disc, chances of a re-rip working 100% are slim.
In spite of this, I already posted an answer which was obviously missed. Just copy the files/folders to a DVD+R DL and run through XeXMenu (or create a quickboot shortcut). The copy's only for him (as it should be), so there's no need for it to be redistributable.
