Backed Up Games Don't Work
« on: April 06, 2005, 07:15:00 PM »

Hi I'm running XBMC as my dash board and some of my backed up games don't worked from the hd... I was told that some games have to be burned to play because they expect to be opened from a certain drive... is it possible to somehow do a smb mount to the dvd drive back to the f drive so that I can open the games from the dvd drive and trick the game to thinking it's being played off a dvd? <

It looks like there is no limit on how many times this needs to be said:

It will NEVER,(99.9% unlikely), be possible to stream games from your PC to the XBOX!

that's right if you read it correctly it says having the game on the F drive of the xbox and just mapping that drive to the xbox dvd drive to make it seem to come from the dvd drive... is this possible? <

I did read it right bitch.. you said..  is it possible to somehow do a smb mount to the dvd drive back to the f drive so that I can open the games from the dvd drive and trick the game to thinking it's being played off a dvd? SMB is for streaming from pc to xbox. Next time word it a lil better so it makes sense. Learn how to properly back up your games and you wont have a problem.

this isnt even in the right forum.. doesnt matter if you use xbmc as your dash, your issue is with backups so it should be in the corresponding forum.

1: Wrong forum

2: If you have backed up your games they will work fine from hdd unless you have A: Ftped a warez iso of the game to it or B: Used the isomaker that often comes with nkpathcer. If you have done B you should have read how to use the attach.xbe and detach.xbe for mounting the iso that is on the xbox hdd and if you have done A you should go and sit in the corner and then find another site to help you with your warez as x-s will never do that.

3: Play nice or see the thread go to the garbage bin. <
