Xbox Backup Creator ( new version) or if you get individual patch files that are ppf use ppfomatic

with XBC go to image tools - tick inject - tick ap25 sector - browse for iso-browse for patch - done

[JamesNY]

thank you

Got it sorted now. Re-downloading the universal patch has worked.

Am still confused by this though. How the original patch worked on a couple of games, then no more is beyond me!

Still....am all sorted now. Thanks to those who offered suggestions of help. Much appreciated.

You most likely forgot to switch to "inject" and instead extracted bad AP 2.5 data and overwrote the universal patches bin when you selected one of your isos. It's easy to do because the dialog pop-up boxes are essentially the same whether you're extracting or injecting.

where is the link to download 14699 Dash?
I google it and I cant find where to get it.

no need for latest dash, just post 13xxx.  nice to know current dash is 100% compatible though.

I'm fairly new at this, and haven't understood most of the things said in here

I have a phat liteon, updated with latest dashboard from M$ site and flashed with LT 3.0

I understand that because of a .DAE (?) update, all my XDG3 backups (& Halo : Reach) are rendered unplayable (this disc is not recognized). I managed to play GoW 3 after formatting my USB drive and using another .DAE file from a site.

Can I use my existing disc, rip it to hard drive, patch/inject it with something, re-burn and it'll work for good now ? I understood there's a universal patch on C4Eva's site, but I couldn't find it.

Is there a detailed guide to backing up games for LT 3 ?

Also, please note that I do NOT have an iHas/iMax burner, however all my XDG3 truncated backups (GoW3,Skyrim,B:AC,Forza 4) were working perfectly from start to finish, and were working again with the USB with the new .DAEs.

Yes you can just rip your existing backups and patch with universal topology patch apprpriate for your backup. But since your backups are truncated, no matter what you do they will be truncated obviously even if burnt on an iHAS burner.

It's highly advised to pay up the small amount for an iHAS (x)24 burner and play proper backups, there's reports that some truncated backups definately don't work on the latest dash with LT3.0 and that most won't work when installed to the hard drive.

If you update to LT3.0 - NONE of your XGD3 backups will work that don't have topology data patched in.

Basically, this is the sensible time to give it up and just pay for a drive, people are going to be less willing to offer help on situations like this because there is a solution and it's not expensive.

If you do make the sensible choice and get an iHAS (x)24 burner, it would be also very sensible to redo your backups properly.

I can assure you truncated backups aren't going to be a viable solution for long as new games come out that use the whole game partition, have proper checks etc. Then there's the likelyhood of the next dash having checks for truncated backups, this one seems to already for games that are installed to hard drive.

1. Pay up for iHAS burner
2. Pay up for verbatim disks
3. Flash LT3.0
4. Redo your backups so they aren't truncated. (re-rip from originals, ripping from a truncated backup - even if burning with iHAS burner will still give a truncated backup)
5. Relax.

I will, and I have another question for that :

I found this one on amazon

Would that work ?

Also, I found the universal XDG3 patch and re-burned GoW3 on a spare disc I had. Worked great !

Thanks for the info

after running assassins creed revelations through the new abgx 1.0.6 and burning with ihas burnermax + verbatims, i could not get it to work on any xbox with LT 3.0, and the new lego harry potter, same problem.  Are some of the uploaded topologies in abgx not the correct ones?  It seems there might be some issues with some games + LT3 as ALL other xgd3 burns work.

run the burned discs through abgx360 to make sure they burned correctly

Yep, that's fine mate.

Once you receive it you can also crossflash it to a 624 which is the top end model. (even numbers can be flashed to even numbers and odd to odd, so a 124 can be crossflashed up to a 524 for example).

Funnily enough it starts getting errors at 49% and it fails installing on xbox at the same point.  all other games burn and work fine except AC-R, Batman and the new lego harry potter, all ran through abgx and burnt the same way as everyother game (img burn, ihas with burnermax, verbatim 00
003 discs, burnt at 4x with opc and ive tried 2.4x aswell, same problem).  what-else could be the problem?
