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.

so i then extracted the iso to replace the files. but im not sure how to rebuild the iso. i tried using xdvd mulleter. but i get an error no video file found when i try to build the iso.

what is the best way to go about patching/building the iso? thanks.

I too would like to know this.

Why not just play the game from the folder, selecting the xex file in XeX Menu?

because i want a patched disc.

Why exactly? You can run the game far better from the HDD, surely?

why does it matter? i want what i want. its totally moot why i want what i want.

It matters because there's no logistic reason as to why you would want to do it. Convert it into an ISO and make into a GoD - that I can understand. However I'm getting the impression you intend to sell it onto others. That and you're being extremely obtuse. Suit yourself, it's you asking for help - not me. Maybe some other sap will come running to help you make money out of a modded game. I for one won't.

The information you need is here - you just need to get off your arse and find it.

[k0mpresd]

i have no intentions on selling it. get off your horse.

Then there's absolutely no reason why you would need this back into an ISO. Just burn the folder/files onto a DVD+R/DL if you want a copy on optical media. Since you need a JTAG'd box to use it, it would suffice.

He was just asking for help to do something, he explained quite clearly what he was trying to do, he never mentioned anything about selling, in fact i'm quite astounded that anyone could jump to those conclusions from his original post.


We all know the different ways to run things on a JTAG, we dont need to be told to 'just use option A'.

The OP asked for help, can anyone help him instead of questioning him?

And what's so wrong with asking why?

I've worked in solutions development for best part of 10-15 years and the #1 problem I come across when clients want help is that they've already decided what the solution is and want you to implement it. Most of the time I ask them to explain why they want to do it that way and I eventually get to the root of the problem and the solution usually takes another route.

Now the second I ask why, the guy gets defensive. What would you conclude from that? He doesn't want to tell me? Fair enough, I'm not willing to waste my time trying to help him. Why should I (in fact, why should anyone)?

He's well within his rights to hold his cards to his chest. In which case I'm well within *my* rights to suspect what I did. If his intentions were honest, he wouldn't have hesitated in the THREE times he replied when I asked him, not just the OP.

Bottom line: If you ask for help, expect questions. If you don't want to answer any, don't bother posting in the first place.

There are any number of reasons, limited HDD space, likes to keep hard copy backups(isn't that one of the reason people mod?), banned xbox that can't install to the HD, no JTAG has to use disc.  Any one of these is possible.

I for one would like to know if this can be patched to disc also as I cannot jtag my xbox thanks to M$ so I can't use xex and custom dashboards and the like.  It'd be nice to be able to apply updates to an xbox that can't go on live anymore(mine is not banned, just the dvd is flashed)

It'd be cool to know if you can apply patches to the disc or get DLC into a disc for install or something like that.  Some of us just prefer dvd over HDD

You *do* realise that the only reason files can be modified is because of the XeLL/JTAG exploit? Regardless of where they're read from, you still need a kernel which can execute unsigned code to read them? You're breaking the signature and an non-JTAG (regardless of firmware) console will just show it as corrupted data.

As for applying updates, anyone can download the updates from the MS website and put them on a memory stick. This has been possible for the past year. DLC is DRM / Media locked and won't play from anything apart from HDD/MU.
Your reasons:

Limited HDD Space - Just buy a bigger HDD. You can get a 1TB 3.5 SATA for around £60. This would keep you occupied for a long time and would hold more games than the discs you could purchase for it. Remember that all games have padding and once extracted take up less space than their optical media counterpart.

Hard copy backups - What are you talking about? You already have the original, yes? What more do you need? If you have a modded version on HDD and it goes kaput, you re-rip and re-mod it again.

Banned Xboxes that can't install to HDD - These can't be JTAG'd anyway!

No JTAG has to use disc - I have no idea what this means but judging by your other comments it's borne of not understanding what JTAG'ing is or how it works. You've just posted to side with the guy and actually given him no support whatsoever. Even if one of your reasons were valid, he could have stated when I asked. His refusal to answer says more than a reply ever could.

No, I didn't realise, that's why I posted on a forum, why do you since you can't stand anyone who doesn't share your point of yiew or knowledge.  Also, your right, I don't have a jtagged xbox, and I don't understand all the fundamentals of it, hence, posting in a forum, but even if I did have all the knowledge and hardware, I'd still prefer to have my games on disc.  even if you think I"m trying to side with someone or jsut don't know what I'm talking about, some people like a hard backup.  plus I haven't noticed any slow down when I play my backups from disc so I see no reason to spend money on a limited harddrive when I can have an unlmited supply of discs.   and He didn't refuse to answer, He made perfect sense to me.  There just isn't a deeper reason that you can understand.  You don't like stuff on disc.  So you don't have to use one.  It doesn't mean anyone who disagrees with you is obviously wrong and up to more no good than the rest of us.   I honestly don't know for who having a patched disc would bad to have.  if we had one, then you could use it to install to your very large hard drive and I could...put it in my xbox and play it and everyone would be happy.

Then don't bother entering a discussion on something you don't understand. I've no idea why people do this - I wouldn't dream of jumping in on someone else's thread if I didn't have a clue on what was being discussed. Stay in the newbies section in future - it's there for people like you.

1. Using the excuse "I posted because I don't understand" is feeble. You don't post to gain understanding, especially when there are literally hundreds of posts already on the subject. Learn to read.

2. You should already have your games on disc. What's your point?

3. Again, why are you even discussing something you don't understand???

4.

This is a refusal to answer. If this makes perfect sense to you, maybe you're as obtuse.

5. In this situation, there is no reason to want a copy on optical media - for the 3rd time, you don't understand the topic.

6. No you couldn't, unless yours was JTAG'd too. Yours isn't so once again (4th time), understanding is key.

Go away and don't bother replying until you understand what JTAGing is all about. There are plenty of threads on the subject and no excuse for not reading them.

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
