okay, here is my plan- i plan to get an exceutor modchip(is this good enough), but i dont have enough money to buy a dvd burner. I read all over this forum talking about extracting games from the xbox harddrive. what's up with that?

i need full details on how to play burned games without a dvd burner. So let me sum up all the information that i know so far- So you telling me that i can put a original game onto the xbox cdrom(with evox installed) and make an iso image on the hd and run the game from the hd?

SO is this possible;put the original game into the xbox cdromdrive, extract the image into the harddrive, transfer that image into the comp and burn it(DOES IT HAVE TO BE A DVD burner)?

thanks for the fast responses. appreciate it!

or... you could use CdVersions. and burn onto cdrw's. You will have to download em from ftps but YOU MUST OWN THE ORIGINAL GAME OR IT WILL BE ILLEGAL.

If you don't have enough money for a DVD burner, you probably don't have enough money for a large hard disk.

Take my advice and don't put games on the original XBOX hard disk. if it fills up and the cache gets screwed up then you could lose your box.

I would strongly advise looking at getting a burner. Even with the 120G hard disk you will fill it up faster than you may think.

I saw a DVD +R/+RW for £160 retail yesterday, I am sure you can get them cheaper online. Thats only a week or so of working and this time of year you should be able to get a job at Target or Walmart - seasonal work.

Just a thought...

thanks for those who replied.It really clear some things up for me. BUt a few things more before i begin my operation. I can just play games straight off the hdd right? and about the ripping movies, etc to get games on the cdr, can i do that with a cd burner? lets say the game is too big, can i rip and split the game into several cdrw's?

vyan28 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2002, 05:29:00 PM »

is a 20 gig harddrive good enough to store games and run from the hdd?

if i do that, i need these programs-evox, xbcopy,and flashxp. is that correct?

VYAN28...

You can play MOST titles straight from the XBOX HD. However, the XBOX stock drive is small.. and rarely holds more than a title or two. Consider the wise purchase of a largers HD. Bigger the better 20-120 GB.

As for your CDR / CDRW questions... any CD burner will do! Splitting files is easy, and works... as long as you REBUILD them properly on the XBOX later so they can be played from there!

EVOX installed on a 20-120 GB HD, with XBCopy installed as well.. and FLASHFXP is an ideal setting for totla connection and enjoyment.

My current setup is X-ECUTOR (original 1Wire) with 80GB, current EVOX/XOS (waiting for NEXGEN) with all utils, all Emus.
