It depends. I use a Samsung SH-D163B. It was the easiest solution because I don't have an extra Xbox drive laying around. It works just like an "0800" drive because it rips everything off the disc that you need such as the SS, DMI, PFI(but you already knew that). So no need to patch with ABGX. I don't trust that program anyways, I like making real legitimate copies. I recommend XBC, I've used it many times with no problems whatsoever plus it has an image checking tool. If the .iso checks out with XBC then it is stealth. With XBC its just rip and burn, no additional steps. I burn with IMGBurn at 2.4x. Long story short, wait until Ixtreme 1.6 comes out for your drive and that will simplify the process a lot. Umm, with MLB2K9 did you use the new version of ABGX?
