Quickboot Vs Iso2god
« on: March 03, 2010, 11:02:00 PM »
I've been using iso2god paired with x360scrubber and so far havent had any major issues.  I'm curious though is there any technical advantages of using one over the other?

That depends on your dash choice. You wanna launch stuff from NXE, using GOD as a destination is likely best. I have two problems with that though, first they're larger and second I hate the NXE's method of "organizing" them under a series of menus.

Personally, I extract the ISO, then FTP the files over the network to the console. I find they're a bit smaller, and it works better with Freestyle.

BUT, you asked Quickboot vs Iso2god, in which case I'd say Quickboot is more work - extract, transfer, create shortcut, transfer.. Whereas ISO2GOD is just convert, transfer, done.

From a performance or 'technical' standpoint, GOD container is closer to what the 360 is "meant" to see, so might have vaguely better support in some cases.

Further arguments would be things like Mass Effect 2, and Final Fantasy 13 - Multi-disc games are tricky with JTAG systems, BUT if you combine the filesystems from the two discs into one folder and use Quickboot they'll USUALLY play nice and pretend it was only one one original disc. This has been tested on ME2, but FF13 hasn't been confirmed. The filesystem APPEARS compatible with this method of consolidation, however.

Personally, I use DashLauch + Freestyle + extracted ISOs.

I use to use GODs most of the time myself.  But now I have them as extracted ISO's on my internal hdd with quickboot links or I launch them from Freestyle Dash since they have previews and screenshots.  

I like extracted iso's since it's more organized.  hdd1:\games\Forza 3, etc.  

Not too much work.  I use Freestyle dash to "Copy DVD", and make a link with quickboot and upload.  That's pretty much it.  I hope in the next version of Freestyle, they could autogenerate a link.  I can't see that being too hard to do.  

One disadvantage of extracted ISO's is that if a game has tons of small files, it takes a very long time to copy.  Whereas GOD's are in 170MB chunks.
