Title: Xiso Files Education
Post by: mattb on October 31, 2003, 06:43:00 PM

I'll give you some pointers: Number one please check the tutorials. Number two is that I can explain some basic and detailed stuff about xiso's. Xiso's are simply iso's in a basic sense, but the exception is the file structure they are compiled in. Xbox has a problem reading discs burnt with common iso compilation, so The Big "M" used this problem to their advantage. There is one exception to this rule that I can think of, but it has to do with the Debian Linux, which isn't commonly used by noobs. When you're dealing with games or .xbe's in general you can either run them off of bootable media (some CD-RW's) or off the hdd. In order for this to happen you must first use Evolution X off of the CD you previously burnt in the Xiso format. But let's get back to basics! Any CD burnt with Xiso's are refered to as having a XDFS files system. You can compile genuine Xisos with any program that is a GUI fronend for a MS program called GDFimage, or command line GDFimage. I recommend these programs versus programs that don't frontend GDFimage because you may have an extremely picky Thompson drive. I have backdated programs from about a year ago, so don't ask me what prorams to use, just remember to use GUI frontends to GDFimage. In a nutshell, these xiso's can't be read by your existing drive on your PC, but they can be read by the Xbox drive. Even though they can't be read by your PC's drive they can be burnt just as a regular iso. For sure success you have to burn your xiso with a quality drive such as plextor, and use quality media that is listed is numerous forums. You can contact me whenever needed.

Where can I find an elementary introduction to ISO creation, editing and extracting?

Wrong forum dude.
