Extracted Game .iso To Gameondemand?
« on: January 28, 2010, 03:06:00 PM »
I realize there is NXE to GOD but I dont want to waste DL-DVD's to burn them just to rip them to the xbox.
Is there a way to take a game folder on usb and make it into a game on demand file, that can be launched straight from the NXE game library?

I was actually wondering the same thing myself, for another reason.

It seems that Mass Effect 2 can have both discs dumped into the same folder, and then you don't have to worry about the disc switching.

I'd love to take the data from both discs and combine them into one GoD container.

Yes with the newer version of the sdk, it has the tools to make GoD packages from files. But, really you you will need to wait for someone (Hopefully DJ shepherd) to write a free alternative to do it.

he could have archived his games as ISOs on his computer, xboxes do tear up games so if the original game is destroyed the iso would be his only copy left. This happened to my COD4 game so I know it can happen.

There's always one, better to just ignore them.

That is true.

However, if someone is trying to copy say, 20 or 50 games to the Xbox and not wanting to burn them all to a disk to do it, they most likely (In My Opinion), don't have the originals. If you are having one or two games that are scratched and need to burn an ISO I understand. But to transfer "your" own library of games because you don't want to burn that many disks speaks of Piracy.

There was a poster here that said he needed to download the games and burn to disk since his Xbox would scratch his originals. Thankfully Verbatims are made much better than original games and never scratch. biggrin.gif

If it smells of piracy, it probably is.

To Welshkid: Use your original disks to copy the game to the HD.
