Xbox 360 DVDs

[wunderdawg]

I put a 360 game into my computer, and tried to write it to a blank disk because I figgured it is a DVD, and ImgBurn helps get past the protection. However, when I tried it in my Xbox 360, the only part written to the disk was what the computer could read, and not any of the game itself. Is there any way around that, or do I need to use a different type of program?

 

Thanks!

ImgBurn doesn't help get past any protection at all.

 

If it can't be read at the most basic level, ImgBurn can't help you (as is the case with 360 games).

There is only one visible partition on an xbox 360 drive that a normal PC ROM drive can see and they are video files, so any normal PC drive + normal program will only read those. The rest of the files are hidden away so normal PC ROM drives cannot see them.

 

 

If you want to understand more search google about PC ROM drives and xbox 360 games

you can burn x60 images with imgburn just fine remember you will need a dvd+-DL disc. That wasn't really your question though, img burn doesnt read all the files when extracting i believe like the security sectors etc but try checking out xbox scene for more help

Smartburn is enabled by default on liteon drives and you should probably leave it that way.

 

A lot of people tend to enable the hypertuning ones too.
