I cant get any version to work. I'm running OSX 10.4.11 on a C2D MBP 2.4.

Could you please send me the OSx360.log file and the DiscRecording.Log file.
[email protected]

They should be located in "~/Library/Logs/".

I don't have many people testing OS X 10.4, and I would like to get that working. You could also try the growisofs burning method (Located in the OSx360 Burn Setup Panel). This is known to work for all Mac OS X versions.

If the disc recording framework keeps on failing on 10.4, I might disable it or at least make growisofs the default.

Wow this was a great idea.

I really always felt sorry for the people with macs and i think this is a great thing wolfienuke has put together.

I hope you people stop putting down this thing as totally not working and a piece of crap because programming is not a super easy task.

It takes lots of trial and error and go back and fix this and that to get it all right..

I hope that everyone with a mac tries this and appreciates the work wolfienuke has put into this..

good job!

Thanks for the support!
Thankfully you are not the only one that thinks like this. I just hope more people come forward with crash logs and information so I can fix these issues. It's very simple to create a program that works for me, and do what I need it to do. It's a completely different monster trying to make a program that works for everyone.

I could call it quits now, since most of the uses that I have for OSx360 are done and work on MY computer, but what's the fun in that?

I am spending a lot of time, money and effort on this. My next step after this is to buy (or aquire from a generous donation) a KREON drive or spare xbox 360 drive to allow mac users to rip their own games without the need of a PC at all!

I would love someone to part with their drive for a month or two (I will pay all shipping costs). So I can get busy on that. My current job doesn't keep me busy enough, so I have lots of time to mess around - just not a lot of spare cash.

I appreciate all the support and all I need to continue on is a pat on the back once in a while. I do this for others, everyone can chip in as well and the assistance will not go overlooked.

I need some volunteers to test 10.4 Universal Binary builds. I would like to get someone that has PPC, but anyone with 10.4 will do.

Edit:
I would just like to publicly thank lininjim over at mac-bb for all the testing he has done. Thanks to him, OSx360 now is functional for Mac OS X 10.4+ for both intel and ppc!

I will have a new build out today or tomorrow with all the bug fixes and increased log reporting for troubleshooting. I would like to ask anyone who uses the software to use this new version and send me the logs. It will help me improve the software quicker.

Also, on another note... I have started stealth checks for the video/splitvid partitions. It will not be complete enough to include in this next release since I am waiting for Redline99 (developer of Xbox Backup Creator) to send me some code to help with the checks. This will probably be ready in a week or so.

Edit:
OSx360 v0.6 Debug is now available...

I've burned 2 discs on my iMac's built in Matshita UJ-846 on AOne media and the burns were fine - damn cheap media at only £7 (~$13) for 10 aswell!

I have a few users that have reported the same. AOne is confirmed working with the Matshita drive. Thanks for your response. Did you use OSx360 or another tool?

wolfienuke · « **Reply #51 on:** February 29, 2008, 02:13:00 PM »

Before I start working on this, does anyone want OSx360 to support burning non-stealth xbox 1 images that are compatible with xtreme 5.x firmware?

Personally, I have no use for this but others might. There really is no need to do this since any burning program will write xbox 1 disc images with no issue. I am assuming most users have iXtreme which will not support non-stealth discs.

I'm going to be getting a SATA/IDE to USB adapter soon so i can connect my pioneer 112D to my macbook pro.....when i get it ill try your app out again as it would be a great convenience to not have to go to windows to burn

Thanks! If you don't mind the trouble, send me the Log File (~/Library/Logs/OSx360.log) since this will tell me if there were other errors that were not noticed. It does not contain any personal information (other than your System version and connected DVD devices).

I would appreciate this data from everyone if possible.

You attempted to use OSx360 before and said it didn't work. If you were using OS X 10.4, that problem has been fixed. PPC is also now fixed (You have a MBP, so that wasn't the issue). The only other thing I can suggest you can do is use Verbatim (or AOne) media with the MBP. The internal Matshita drive is horrible, so if you use other types of media, it might not work. I have not received reports of other media working with the Matshita drive.

Other than that, external drives usually help your odds of a successful burn. I have an HT/LG GSA-E50L Slimline and it works great with most media.

I'm running 10.5 on my MBP. And the reason i dont get verbatims is because all of the ones ive seen in my area are all made in india and they wont work in my 360. So i just use memorex and it works perfectly.

I'll post back the results when i get my IDE to USB converter

That's why it won't work with the MBP... I have a MBP and a MB both with Matshita drive and MOST of the memorex discs I used failed to load on the Xbox 360. Some would load, but I would have to eject/reboot multiple times to get it to load. It took me a while (and alot of discs) to realize the problem was the Matshita burner. I too used Memorex with no problem when burning with my Pioneer 111D. Honestly, I didn't know how bad the Memorex (Re-branded Ritek usually) media was until I started using Verbatim. My 360 used to be very load and made grinding noises (sounded like it was having trouble seeking back and forth). Now it's quiet and never makes any unusual sounds. I'm not sure if I'm using MII or MIS though.

Just a quick update: I now have a KREON Drive, and have tested it with XBC in Fusion successfully. I found a lot of good source code on how to issue SCSI commands with Cocoa/Carbon. This means Game Partition Unlocking, SS Extraction, DMI Extraction and PFI Extraction should be possible from within OS X. How easy it will be is the question. If anyone would like to be part of this project and has experience with coding in Carbon/Cocoa, please contact me. I am sure I will be able to figure it out but I am slowing learning very technical code and it is a lot to take in.

i would send you the log, but i haven't burned any discs with the version that logs yet - but i'll be sure to once i burn a new disc.

I need to know how many mac users have a KREON drive or any other drive capable of reading Xbox 360 Original Discs. I have made a program that will be the base for my Xbox 360 DVD Ripper. Before I release anything, I need to know some information from those drives.

I just want a quick count of people who are willing and able to help testing this. I need more help here than with the burning software, since I need checks for acceptable dvd reader models/firmware versions.

If you have one of these drives, open up terminal and paste this in there.
ioreg -l -w 999 | grep "Device Characteristics"

copy the result and post back here.

Thanks!

Just got done re-installing so I will try to burn a game now but here is the info you wanted...

| "Device Characteristics" = {"DVD Features"=67,"Product Name"="DVD-ROM SH-D162C","Power Off"=No,"CD Features"=1139,"Vendor Name"="TSSTcorp","Product Revision Level"="TS05","BD Features"=0,"Low Power Polling"=No}

Hope it helps I would love to use it to rip as well.
