I'm not reading through all of these posts, but I can tell you the first one is BS! I play backups on CD, no point in wasting a DVD when it fits easy on a CD

I agree, I've burned a couple of games to CD-R and played them successfully.  Although the only problem is sometimes the drive doesn't pick up the track and thinks there is no disk but usually works 1/3 boots.

I have a xbox with a thompson drive and have gotten a few cd-rs to work on it. It was "Vivastar" cds..

I just bought an Xbox bundle mfg. on Dec 2 of last year. It does not have the samsung drive and i was little dissapointed. However since I only use Memorex CD-r's i placed a CD-r of audio and it played fine. Does that mean that everything can be readable as long as I use Memorex CD=r's on my drive?

Help me, I am  nOOb!

all i did was connect one of my extra cd-rom drives to my xbox to play my cd-r games and when want to play originals i reconnect the ide cable to the xbox's dvd drive

does dvd+r games work on xbox? cause I found a really cheap dvd+rw burner and was thinking about buying it. However, if they dont work in xbox then I dont want it.

OK i have put in CD-R media on my xbox and it plays sweet but if i can run CD-R music cds can i run CD-R data? and if so what kind of data? only stuff that is compatible with the Xbox?

[nitronutter]

tried and tested cdr np here

seems to be a samsung drive had the samsung grooves on the case (i noticed that when my local modder stripped the box
also has the 2 thumbholes in the tray

tested old 12x infiniti and 12x verbatamin cdr-audio

burnt evolutionxv1_8_458_iso onto a new 48x infiniti cdr and the xbox booted that fine
also ftp'd into the box to verify /d was readable and it was

[Darkness2003]

Yes you can  

Download latest nero burning software. choose udf/iso en there is a special xbox button "force DVD-Video compatibility mode (required for xbox TM)" then burn a game or divx file en play you DVD or CDR.

No,almost none of the Xbox consoles will read a backup on a cd-r,all backups must be burned to a cdr-w or dvd-r or dvd-rw,also some dvd+r media works as well. Games can be burned to a cd-r,but must be recopied to one of the above media types in order to play.

ok..at the time of my original post, we was on the 1st generation of xbox.... and almost none of them would read cd-r's.... now they are shipping with different brand dvd drives,and people are having great success with cd-r's.... this is wonderful..... so everyone should atleast play around with a couple different brands of cd-r and hope that it works.... chances are if you have a newly purchased xbox,you will be OK!!!!!


PEACE OUT!!!!!!

[gundamhr]

Heh, one more thing I forgot. I forgot to mention that even if y ou have a thompson drive, you can upgrade the firmware, that might help, but do it at your own risk, because there are bad flashes and bad firmware upgrades.

Just to throw a wrench in the works, I "settled" for a Phillips 1.0 system and found it to work fine any any CD-R media that wasn't blue.

I helped a friend mod his 1.1 Samsung and it wouldn't read hardly anything (including DVD-r's, and rw's).

(Oh, and yes, I only burn at 2x ... although the phillips still reads at a 6x burn)
