I quote from the nfo:
XBOX.360.Boot.Disk.Edited.NTSC.READNFO-LiThIuM
No. of files Cd1 .r1->5mb
OwN3D DaTe 12/28/2005

Alright, this is in fact a working boot method for backups!
This is the demo disk, with a little edited code, here is how it
works... Select one of the following demos, when into the boot disk
play for approx: 1 minute, then stop and eject the disk,
(using the center X in your controller), swap with
your backup title, DVD using one of the dump tools from PI,
hit the x to return to the dashboard, and viola your in!
Now I dont own a 360 as yet, so I was wondering if anyone else had tried this out yet?
Regards,
Llevon

Have a friend from germany claiming it works if true then we need to switch the region coding on this.

Again I dont own a PAL console so I dont know but im quite sure some people here must own one it would be nice for them to actually try it out and post their experience with this "boot disk"
Whats even more interesting is that its jsut 2 files ones a 10.3mb xex file and a gif I just burned this on a cdr as a data cd and the x360 actually read it as a game, I just find this kind of strange no need to make a x360 compatible iso or anything.

Also the groups putting out the 360 backup games have never made it clear how you should burn them to disc? like do you extract and then rebuild with the old xiso method, do you extcact and then just burn the files? or do you just burn the .360 image? do you rename it to .iso and then burn.
I think the real test for this "boot disc" would be an ntsc console and a proper burned ntsc backup.
But then again dont forget the hole "hoax" thing also heh

All games still have a media flag regardless of the demo disk having one or not.
lol thats confusing... Do you mean that all games and executables (exe and xex) have media flags regardless? Games have the media flag set to ?pressed xbox disc? whereas the demo disk has the media flag set to ?any?.

The 360 Kiosk demo disk has all of its xex and exe's with no media flag, but the other guy was saying that the game backup's xex and exe's still have media flags (well, all found have - maybe there's another screw-up like the demo disk here somewhere).

everywhere I go, ppl are saying it works while some say it doesn't work. Is the boot disc a 100% working method for playing backups?
Weird...I don't see a single person here saying that it worked.

There is not much that can be done, since like someone mentioned before, there are no NTSC x360 images out there so there is no way this can be fully tested. I guess they are just teasing us, I don't think team PI would like bad rep on them.

and you know this because you've tried it right??? Until you people actually try it, and do it right, you shouldnt go around saying it doesnt work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Read the nfo.. and also to whoever's cryin about all the pi releases being pal.. just get the tools pi released and make a back up of your own game.

i own a PAL console and could try this with the PI releases, ill test that out next week
so do i have to get the kiosk dvd, replace the files with the loader thingie and than then try to make it work or do i just need to burn the bootdisk thing ?
Another thing i am wondering about because ppl are talking about the media checks everywhere:
i have a dvd burner (nec 1300a) with a modified firmware which has a bitsetting feature, so i can burn DVD-R or DVD+R with a bitsetting of DVD-ROM which made many DVD work on dvd players that wont accept any recordable media and it also worked with xbox1 games and the original drive, still i had a modchip.
But I could easily burn a xbox360 backup as DVD-ROM on a DVD-R, i maybe should try that together with that bootdisk thing, i anyone could tell me how i have to burn it, with the kiosk stuff or without etc

The members adding that link here, when the site contains masses of illegal download refs, will not be here for a while.
Closed
Edit
I have been asked to point out that one of these sites does not provide illegal downloads. Just the NFO files on hundreds of illegal downloads (No Keys) Until directed that this is acceptable here don't post links to anything refferencing these.
