Ok i just got a mac book pro osx 10.6. I mainly bought it because of the super drive. can anyone tell me any steps on how to get started in ripping a 360 game??? i read that you have to make into a iso, problem is i cant because the mac only reads a portion of the disk. like 120 mb worth. how can i get to copy the whole disk to mount into a iso image. i tried the osxi360 but dont know anything about it plus... i really dont know what it does. please help me i want to get on my way to ripping 360 games...

You bought a macbook for the dvd drive?

In order to 'properly' rip a retail 360 dvd, you need a 'dedicated' xbox 360 drive flashed with 0800 firmware.

You need an xbox 360 drive connected to your pc/mac that is flashed with the 0800 ripping firmware

You need to connect a flashed 360 drive, flashed with the 0800 ripping firmware to your mac in order to rip retail games.

I use a ck3 connectivity kit and an open sata port on my pc.  As far as the firmware goes, check xbins
