This is how to copy xbox360 games on a pc

[soulplane]

hi here is a tut and software so you can all

back up your 360 games ready for the FW hack

or before your games get scrached

it easy all you have to do is

1. Insert a DVD movie which is over 7.5GB
2. Open WxRipper
3. Click Hotswap/Find Magic number
4. Click Hotswap/Stop Drive
5. Use the emergency hole or the hotswap method to change the DVD with a Xbox 360 Game
6. Click Hotswap/Start Drive
7. Click File/Start Dump

and thats it you have got a full dump of the 360 game

have fun

[jmcinaz]

This may sound dumb, but I have a question:

What good is copying games to your PC if you can't play them? What do you do with the backuped files once they are copied?

[soulplane]

This may sound dumb, but I have a question:

well alot of games are geting scrached so you could back them up before they do ready for the FW hack or you could have a mess about and hotswop the backup games in the 360 like i did just to see if it works and it works so this dos copy the full dump of the games

[soulplane]

and for them haveing probs with the emergency hole you ent pushing the lid in enoth so when you have done the emergency hole to swap the dvd with the 360 game slam the lid shut then then click hotswap spin drive then file start dump and it should all be ok saves takeing the drive apart every time you copy a 360game

How do you burn them? Can this be done in Nero or are there any other special steps required for this? Does WXripper create an iso from the ripped data or do we have to create them ourselves?

WXripper will creat an iso and i use DVD DECRYPTER to put my iso to disc it works every time i have never had a prob with that just click on mode at the top and go down to iso and click on write and you are all set to burn your iso m8

Hey don't forget to give credit for Gael360 (for tools and 2nd layer dumping method) and me (for original (1st layer) dumping method).
But anyway, great tuto :)

Can you play the burned game on the 360?

[soulplane]

Can you play the burned game on the 360?

yes if you hotswap them in the xbox360 or if you have got a FW hacked drive

tried this method on a pioneer A08 burner, eject trick and complete disassembly and it just locks up while reading. I stopped it as the program wasn't reading any more data and too much more I would need a new drive as it spun fast, then slow and moved the laser in and out of the disc.

Tried the same on a Lite-on DVD-ROM, just a cheap 16X drive and it reads up until the 2nd layer and locks the computer up.

Tried a hot swap with a standby/hibernate trick on an acer laptop too with no success. It automatically checks for the disc when it tries to be active after hibernation or after the eject hole is pressed.

The disc I was using read 7.8GB in windows, trying to back up ridge racer 6 and quake 4.

Tried a slot load drive, but soon after disassembling it I realized it dosen't do DVD's.

its easy to do m8 i dont disassembl the drive just use the emergency hole on the frunt of the drive do not press the eject button

1. Insert a DVD movie which is over 7.5GB
2. Open WxRipper
3. Click Hotswap/Find Magic number
4. Click Hotswap/Stop Drive
5. Use the emergency hole to get the tray open change the DVD with a Xbox 360 Game and slam the tray shut
6. Click Hotswap/Start Drive
7. Click File/Start Dump

and are your games scrached you may have a bit of trouble copying the games if there scrached m8 if thay are try a disc cleener to try and get the scraches out then it should copy the games

[soulplane]

i have got 2 different dvd drives on my pc and this works on both of the drives on my pc to copy 360 games

[jmcinaz]

Is there any way to burn the game and play it without the original disk? (Like if my original got scratched so bad it would even get read)

[soulplane]

Is there any way to burn the game and play it without the original disk? (Like if my original got scratched so bad it would even get read)

yes you would have to get your drive in your 360 FW hacked m8 i have tryed allsorts of ways to get a backup to play without the original disk like trying a original disk and swaping it with a different backup of another game just to see if you only need one original disk but it did not work you need the same original disk as the backup copy but it would of been good if it did cuz i was going to mod my 360 into a swap magic 360 like the ps2 if you know what i mean

[Jason Voorhees]

this is great and all. but, not everybody has dual layer burners. i myself dont have one. i only have a dvd/cd-rw burner.

edit
all i got was the audio/video from my game(DW5 Empires).

i dont think you do need a dual layer burner m8 i just tested it on my dvd rw and it works can you do me a fav and do this and see what it dos

put dvd in click hotswap stop drive Use the emergency hole swap dvd with game and slam lid shut click hotswap spin drive then click hotswap find Magic number then click hotswap explorer with wx360 then you should see all the files what are on the disc like i just did with my dvd rw have a look

[cammy1011]

Just a thought, once you rip the game then extract all the files with wx360,then can you maybe transfer them to the hd.Ive seen 2 things coming out to hook the 360hd to your pc.Kinda like how you can do on your xbox1.Is the defaultxex kinda like the defaultxbe.You now how you could file explore on modded xbox1 click the xbe and it would launch game.If you could put all the files in a folder file explore on the 360 launch defaultxex?

[Druig]

is there a way to get the games smaller maybe to fit on a dvd5? I thought there are many dummy files in the games that you won´t need?

[babb_z]

I struggled to get it working at first but figured it out. If it just keeps dumping the video.ts files to about 8mb, instead of pressing 'stop drive' just keep it spinning and then press the emergency hole, swap disks and then press spin drive. Works for me on 2 DVD drives.

i dont think that would work m8 cuz the 360 dash is not on the hard drive like the xbox 1

[soulplane]

well it has to be the exact copy of the game or it will not play so when you have copyd the game with WXripper open WX360 then click on file open then open the iso you just made with WXripper then click on file and Export XDVDFS that should make it a bit smaller but i have never tryed it that way and i still dont think it will fit on a dvd 5 m8 sorry it has to be the same copy or it just will not play i have tryed to exstact all the files with WX360 and mack it into a iso and put it to a dvd5 but it did not work cuz it has to be the same 1.1 copy of the game for it to play

thx, thats good to know :) but what does the "Export XDVDFS" actually do?

[soulplane]

thx, thats good to know :) but what does the "Export XDVDFS" actually do?

i think it just takes the dummy file out of the iso file but it dont make it much smaller it makes another iso but i have never put one to disc that way and tryed it ill have to try it out and see if it works i shouldunt see why not

[jmcinaz]

I was wondering: would make any difference if you put the drive from your old xbox into the 360?

[soulplane]

you talking about the dvd drive or the hardrive

Either one, but mostly the dvd drive.

[Jason Voorhees]

i dont think you do need a dual layer burner m8 i just tested it on my dvd rw and it works can you do me a fav and do this and see what it dos

but you'll need one if it doesnt fit on a single dvd.

[soulplane]

Either one, but mostly the dvd drive.

no that would not work have you opend up an xbox360 and seen the connections on the back of the xbox360s dvd drive there not the same m8 and if you did manage to get some sort of converter so you could connect a normal xbox 1 dvd drive to it you would still have to flash that with some sort of FW hack to get it to play backups

[soulplane]

but you'll need one if it doesnt fit on a single dvd.
yes you will need a dual layer burner to put the games to disc but you can get them cheep enough these days heres one for £23.44 have a look http://www.eclipse-computers.com/product.aspx?code=DRS-SHW162BK

and i think theres evern cheaper ones on there site

[babb_z]

After ripping all my games to iso's, they are all the same size - 7.5gb. Is this normal? What size are other people getting? Seems odd to me.

[soulplane]

yes this is normal m8 if you open one of the 7.5gb iso games with WX360 and exstract all the files to a folder and do the same to another 7.5gb iso game you will see there not the same size

[babb_z]

Thanks mate. I noticed you too were having a little trouble over at hacker forums. Did you manage to get a game running using the swap trick?(same game tho).

[soulplane]

yes i did you have to swap them fast if you do it to slow it dont work and i played a backup copy for atleast 30mins

[babb_z]

Was that a modified backup or just the original 7.5gb dump burned onto a DVD?

[soulplane]

Was that a modified backup or just the original 7.5gb dump burned onto a DVD?
it was the original 7.5gb dump cuz if you modified it its not going to work as i was doing at first i was copying fight night round 3 and exstractin the files with wx360 then it was only 3.28gb so it would fit on a dvd5 and then i used qwix to turn them files into a iso but every time i tryed to hotswap it it was not working but as soon as i put the 7.5gb onto a DL dvd the hotswap worked first time

[spawn1980]

I just got my 360 yesterday so I'm new to the 360 world all I have right now is fight night 3 and I heard alot about 360 scratching disc so i'm scared my.

what are you saying m8 that you played a backup copy on your 360 just buy putting it in your 360 but it freezes after 2 minutes

[spawn1980]

no sorry that came out wrong.I thought that if you make a copy of your game you could be able to play it in your 360. And the freeze subject happen with my original game full auto I got my 360 yesterday and bought 2 games today fight night 3 and full auto as soon as I played full auto it froze in 3 minutes so I called microsoft for a replacement and thats it sorry for the mixup. I thought I could play my copy of full auto.

well you can play a copy if you hotswap it in your 360 but if your 360 is freezeing i would get a replacement before you start doing stuff like that to it

[spawn1980]

When I get back my replacement how do I do that theres now eject hole on the system and when is the right time to swop.

[soulplane]

When I get back my replacement how do I do that theres now eject hole on the system and when is the right time to swop.
sorry m8 you have to take the top off you 360 and the top off your dvd drive on the 360 put the original game on and let it start up and press the big x on the controler then press y then go to yes so now you are back to the xbox dach now swap the disc with the backup but you have to be fast the go down to play game and you can play a backup game on you 360 but make shor your 360 is working ok befor you take it aport coz you wont get a new one

[spawn1980]

so the only way to play a backup is to insert a original game first does it matter witch one.

[soulplane]

so the only way to play a backup is to insert a original game first does it matter witch one.

yes it has to be the same one as the backup sorry

[spawn1980]

ok m8 no prob

[whyudie]

I have a question...I can't open/installed the application file (wxripper) with my computer, the messages appear "the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)".
Anyone knows what error is this?

[wiggim]

its easy to do m8 i dont disassembl the drive just use the emergency hole on the frunt of the drive do not press the eject button

and are your games scrached you may have a bit of trouble copying the games if there scrached m8 if thay are try a disc cleener to try and get the scraches out then it should copy the games

They didn't even have dust on them much less scratches. It just won't work for either of my drives.. Not sure of the problem and since theres no need to waste DL discs yet, I will wait until the discs are completely scratched or the 360 offers a reason to bother figuring out the problem.

I will try it again though with my 108 Pioneer and Kameo, just to see what happens. The Liteon won't let me eject the disc, the tray activity light comes on and it locks up on me when i try to eject.. When I take it apart and hotswap that way it locks the computer up on me after it reads the first layer.

hi m8 just after you Click Hotswap/Stop Drive then what do you do you dont press the eject button do you. you ent got to do that there is a littel hole on the frunt of the drive you have got to push something in there to get the tray tray open change the DVD with a Xbox 360 Game and slam the tray shut then Click Hotswap/Start Drive then Click File/Start Dump

Umm, I pull the cog off my DVD motor thats holding the disc in place, pop in the 360 game, put the cog back on, then hit spin disc, then hit start dump.. it spins funny, grinds, spins funny, grinds - sounds like its loading up, then grinds, almost stops.. process repeats. Where did you determine I hit eject? I stated before my DVD Drive was in pieces, I cannot get the emergency eject hole trick to work nor the physical hot swapping.

Using Windows MCE system (all updates installed) with a pioneer A08 and a Lite-on 16X generic DVD-ROM.. Liteon freezes the system at the 2nd DVD layer (Laser stops reading disc, disc stops spinning, system unresponsive), A08 just will not even dump anything.
The disc I am using is 7.68GB reading in My Computer. Game I am trying to back up was ridge racer 6, Quake 4 and Kameo.. Most I got dumped of any is 3.7GB

im also Using a Windows MCE system with a philips dvdr1640p and a oporite dvd rw dd0201 and i have no probs with these 2 drives using the emergency eject hole i mostly use the philips drive coz its a DL dvd drive and its a lot better drive this is the drive i have got http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/152 but its not cheep

[wiggim]

Hmm, as for the price and hassle of that drive I think I would take my chances buying a Pioneer A110 drive for $50 at the local comp shop as it was reported on other sites these drives worked with the swap trick, where the A108 did not (as I can confirm - not even ripping it apart would cut it).
As for the LiteOn it just might have trouble with dual layer discs too, the drive itself is going on 5+ years old, and I could go for another burner as the 108 is getting on three years old, and would work great in my lil 30GB system.

I know your procedure does work, but it will not work for me with these drives.

Did anyone get a LiteOn DVD-ROM drive to work with reading both layers of the disc? I can't even eject the disc with the emergency eject hole - The HDD load light comes on. Go figure.

[susei]

Hi @all

I use the NEC3540A drive and it works very nice it must somes updates makes with wxripper lyt file put after i will doit it will work really nice now !
So i hope it comes more updates from wxripper and mostly we want wait is the fw h... so we now play own backups and the org is save ..

Nice tutorial guys! Thnx

[keyfun]

tryed this and all i get is "Error @ 0 : Data error (cyclic redundancy check)."
dvd im using is return of the jedi which is 7.6gig and tryed pgr3, oblivion , and ghost recon all the same error ??? also tryed doin it without stoping the drive just the little hole and nearly **** myself at the noise of the drive (wont be doing that again )any help please ......thx :confused:

[Happy_Joy_Joy]

tryed this and all i get is "Error @ 0 : Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
--------------------------
Hi there, I was getting the same error - Error @0 : Incorrect Function

This is how I fixed it. I think that this means that the swapped 360 disc has not been able to start spinning. I gather that when you pushed the tray back in you must have done it slow as I was doing the same thing. I then pushed it back in at a brisk pace, about the same speed as the drive normally goes back in, and I could hear the dvd click into place. Try pushing the tray quicker and maybe not pull the tray out as much when you swap.

Seems to work for me. Best of luck

Now I'm getting problems with an error that states ;
---------------------
Unhandled Exception has occurred in your application.
There is not enough space on the disc
--------------------------
I click continue and it's fine. I have over 20gb on the drive where the iso is being stored to. The ISO is made but it's only 4,194,112KB or 3.99GB. I can view the ISO, shows everything but i think it hasn't copied the full disc. Does anyone have any ideas. I'm gonna check the previous posts to see if anyone had the problem.

By the way the games i were trying was Ghost Recon and Perfect Dark. Both iso's were 3.99gb, so that tells me something is wrong. My DVD movie is 7.87gb (Opeth DVD)

Thanks.

[Happy_Joy_Joy]

Found out what the possible problem may be

Here's a quote from another forum regarding my previous post

---------------------------------

Why i get an error when my image gets 4,194,112 kb's. is it cuz im running a fat32 format on my hardrive.

Yes it is ! you need to use NTFS to store the ISO file.

---------------------------------------

so if anyone is having the problem this seems to be it. I was using a spare drive which was FAT32

Mine wouldn't work when i pressed the 'stop drive' button, so instead i just press the emergency hole while its spinning to eject. Yes it makes an awful sound but it doesnt damage the disks, ive done it with a few DVD's and they're fine. After ejecting the disk, put the game disk in and just slam the tray shut - dont press the tray button or it will fail, then press the 'spin disk' button and then dump the game.

[Soloyo]

First thanx to the creators of this amasing tools and thanks for the tutorial.
I tried the emergency hole swap on my laptop (Acer) and no go. So I tried the other method on an external drive and it worked on the first try.

which dvd size is more acurate the one dcrptr gives or the one you get by selecting drive-properties?

Reason I ask is because drive-properties gives me 7.74gb and dcrptr gives me 8.31gb? This is the dvd that i used with wxripper to do fnr3.

[c4dm4n]

Will this method game backups work with the recently released hack...I only ask because this topic was started before the FW hack.

[mrpants123]

can you use DVD-R DL to backup the games? or does the 360 only read +R?

[babb_z]

Will this method game backups work with the recently released hack...I only ask because this topic was started before the FW hack.

Yes it does. You have to merge your SS files first though. I personally prefer using this method. If your getting CRC errors(cyclic redundancy), try this:

Insert your DVD film(over 7.5gb)

Click 'find magic number' and save as 'gamedump'

Open 'gamedump' in notepad and you'll see a few lines starting like :
C
D
C
Change the first 3 to D's and then save it.

Open up in WXripper, swap your game disk and dump away.

[Seeker2002]

hi here is a tut and software so you can all

back up your 360 games ready for the FW hack

or before your games get scrached

it easy all you have to do is

1. Insert a DVD movie which is over 7.5GB
2. Open WxRipper
3. Click Hotswap/Find Magic number
4. Click Hotswap/Stop Drive
5. Use the emergency hole or the hotswap method to change the DVD with a Xbox 360 Game
6. Click Hotswap/Start Drive
7. Click File/Start Dump

and thats it you have got a full dump of the 360 game

have fun

Ok, I get all the way to number 7. with no problems, but when it start dumping I get Error @ 0: Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I know my disc are not scratched in any way, and I've tried with all my original 360 games and still I'm getting the same error. Fight Night Round 3, Kameo, DOA 4 and Condemned. I'm using my Original Training Day DVD Movie which is 8,376,346,624 bytes or 7.80GB which should be large enough. The strange thing about it is that I can click on Explorer with Wx360 and view all the files plus I can extract all the file to my PC HDD, but it will not do a raw ISO dump of the games for some reason. Can anyone help me out here?:confused:

[Seeker2002]

Never mind, I figured it out!!!:)

[SolidSnake]

finally got it working on my 3rd drive!! Somehow i managed to screw up my liteon drive (tried dismantling, but the drive design was a basket to dismantle). Then tried on a memorax drive, kept getting CRC errors, even after trying babb_z's suggestion of entering D's in first 3 lines. Finally tried a NEC drive, was still receiving CRC errors but this time babb_z's fix worked.

Heard some of the tracks from burnout after extracting the files. Seems all good.

Any suggestions on what DVD-R DL discs to use?? are both -R and +R compatible? Which do u use soulplane?

thanks

PS. BTW, did anyone try applying an ss.bin file to the raw dump and did it work on ur hacked drive?

n00b question:
i have perfect dark zero, i want make a back up of it, after i m done and i got the dump of it using the methond mentioned in the tutorial of this thread, i need to patch the iso with the SS key for get the back up to work wtih hacked firmware or its alraedy for run?

you need to patch the iso with the correct ss file and then burn.

you need to use DVD+R DL and set the booktype to DVD-ROM.

i dont think you do need a dual layer burner m8 i just tested it on my dvd rw and it works can you do me a fav and do this and see what it dos

put dvd in click hotswap stop drive Use the emergency hole swap dvd with game and slam lid shut click hotswap spin drive then click hotswap find Magic number then click hotswap explorer with wx360 then you should see all the files what are on the disc like i just did with my dvd rw have a look

mine dvd-rw drive doesnt have an emergency hole.

[Anub1s]

which tool can be use for convert .360 file image file to .iso?

[TheRevengeOfGod]

@Jason Vorhees: Simply remove your drive's casing and use an ide to usb converter cable + external power cable ... It's pretty uncomfortable using the emergency hole and does not work properly with every drive :)

[MINUS12]

Firstly hi all..:D


So basically if i use my pcdvd drive using wx ripper and make an exact raw image of my original, it will work without any other modifications and i can just burn the image as described in this thread:confused:


If this is the case I take it you only need the ss file if you use the xbox drive to rip the image:cool:


Thanks my fellow modders;)

[jingleb]

Nevermind, found this further into a thread by Gael360 :- "Try to click on 'Find magic number' BEFORE swapping the DVD."

----------------

I just asked this on another forum but I thought I would throw it out here out of interest.

Ive read Gael360's instructions on using wxripper and its said that the 'find magic number' is to be done on the xbox360 disc thats inserted after the swap, this being due to the layerbreak that needs to be found.

now on some threads ive seen many people say they pressed 'find the magic number' when the first dvd was in the drive before doing the hotswap. would using the magic number from the first dvd be cause problems with the burnt backup?

thanks to anyone that can explain, cheers

[TheRevengeOfGod]

1. put in full movie dvd > 7,5 GB.
2. fire up wxRipper.
3. click on "stop drive".
4. change dvd with xbox360 game without using eject button on drive.
5. klick on "spin drive".
6. klick on "find magic number".
7. klick on "dump to iso"

easy as that.

before burning, patch it with the right ss.bin and it will work ;)

the mini tutorial posted before in this thread is wrong, you need to find magic number AFTER the xbox 360 game was inserted in the drive.

I already tried that method, with eject emergency hole..I use a dvd movie Final Fantasy Spirit Within Disc 1 (+8GB). I tried to back up PGR3.
And the action description:

Copy 0 19408 Done
Dummy 19408 1072 Done
Copy 20480 1783936 Done
Copy 129824 300608 .... --> When reach this part...the warning signal shown "The Wrong Volume is in the Drive. Please Insert volume FINAL_FANTASY_SCN into drive F:"
And the magic number is same for both dvd movie and PGR3 (300608).

Someone knows what kind of error is this?

I've tried both - finding the magic number when the dvd was in, and finding the number when the 360 disc was in... and i end up getting the same magic number. Besides, i have 2 working backups using the find magic number when the dvd was in!!

[TheRevengeOfGod]

Yeah, i already tested and posted that in another thread :)

I was wrong assuming that it does matter if you click on "find magic number" at a certain point within the swapping procedure ;)

[JDAWG11]

Anyone know why I would see this message after clicking 'find magic number'?

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue...blahblah....

An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Hi,

I know there have been threads on copying xbox360 games for which confuses me even more.
I have a dual layer dvdrw on my pc, also have the 360 console with hard drive.
I tried copying straight using software and ran the disc in console to get the message need to put the disc into a 360 ? same as running a disc in pc message.
Can I please have the full, directions , links etc to copy these discs, obviously for backup purposes only, not for resale or anything else dubious.
Thanks

wow, talk about digging up the past.

umm, its all pretty much in this thread. get wxripper (software for the PC) that will do a raw dump of the image. Since a normal PC drive cant read/dump the security sector files and a couple other sectors you will need to source these.

Or you could use the 360 ODD in a PC to also dump the image with the files.

Since the 2 months of the last post of this thread there have also been advances in software. You could use PC software called Xbox Backup Creator and Schtrom360Xtract which will allow you to use a special samsung PC drive to do easy backups.

In regards to full directions and links etc..... its too late for me to go through all that, maybe apply yourself and do some reading, i cant be bothered spoonfeeding details to someone which have been covered so many times before. The leg work is yours.

[stark]

Thanks for the post. Regarding the 'way to do it', yeah the topic has been covered but generally there is a million views on the subject and if you do noy understand certain 'jargon' and in deed some form of soldering, I believe it becomes a maze.

[alien98]

an odd Q here, does anyone have a list, large or small, of dvds that can be used for this project?
thanks for your time

i did find a one over 7.5 g.
after following the steps, my "iso" is ony 8.5 megs, and it took about 15 seconds to complete. i don't believe my laptops drive resets after using the "override hole" to eject, but any ideas would greatly appreciated.

[stark]

when you say you have a dump of the game, does this mean a copy which will run on xbox 360 itself.
Secondly what do you mean when you say hotswap from dvd disc to xbox game ?

[jingleb]

No soldering required to "hack" the 360 drive (unless you have a ms28 version Samsung).

To clear up the jargon you are going to have to read more, maybe try the tutorials that are around that explain step by step everything you need to know. This will help.

No, there arent really a multitude of views on this subject. You will often find people doing the wrong method asking for help, then the help with the right method will usually follow.

The best part of coming in late into the "game" is that all the pit falls are usually covered by the time you start reading up on what you need to know. Its all here and up for grabs to anyone who wants to read it.

I hate to sound like a prick, but.... what you have asked for in this thread, is covered in this thread. I've given you the names of a couple of programs that you will most probably eventually use for your backups. A search of this forum, any other 360 hacking forum or google will most probably give you what you want.

Its all fair enough asking someone to document for you everything you need to know so late in this thread but the last question you asked is talked about on the first page, first post even. I'd rather spend the time helping someone who needs it, instead of someone who just wants it.

Good luck, I'd recommend starting on the thread called "Xbox 360 Tutorials & Guides".... and then downloading the pdf..... openning it. reading it a couple times...... you get the drift.

[Preacher23]

Hey guys, i have a good question about the method being used here. I would like to understand the idea behind this method being used to backup the game. "find the magic number" seems to me like when you put the original game, it doesn't take you to the starting sector that you would like to go to begin the backing up. Is this true? or am i mistaken? i'm just trying to grasp the idea as to why we need a movie to start us off, with some offset that is required to create the iso image. What format are the originals in? what "partition" can someone explain or elaborate on that? this way we can determine a way to back these games up? any detailed breakdown of anyone's discoveries would be much appreciated. thx :)

i have done this and burnt oblivion to my pc. i have then tried to use nero and dvd decrypter to burn this image to disk but it says "insert into an xbox 360" when i put it in my console. do you have to do something else with the image before you put it onto disk? i have seen people posting about ss merger but aint got a clue what this is or what it does?!?!

hi and thanks for the reply. sorry about the last post i should have went into more detail!! my 360 is already flashed to play back ups. my problem is making a back up of the original game it self. here is what i have done.
i ripped the raw data to my pc using wxripper and the file shows as winrar file. when you open this there is video and audio folders which you would find on a normal dvd. (no iso is showing but when i search for iso in clonecd, dvd decrypter or nero it loads fine. i then load up ss merger, load my iso then hit detect. after this i get an error message about connection to the data base or summit.

is there a way to make backups without using ss merger or without connecting your 360 to your pc?

again sorry to sound like a thicko but all the tuts are doing this different ways with different software. (my head is up my arse!!!!)

Ok so I got the .Net situation resolved, but to my dismay it seemed to work fine. Now when I look at the iso it says its like 9,000 kb or something like that. Even in its compressed form that seems uncannily small and I can not believe that it entirely copied the game in a matter of a minute. Yet at the same time I cannot think I am wrong considering that it matches the referred vid-tutorials numbers exactly. Someone mind elaborating>?

EDIT: I talked to a couple people and they suggested that possibly the comp. is not seeing everything that was really ripped and so does not include it in the size reading. Even so the issue of time seems a problem.
