burning guide for xdg3 games

using this guide for xgd3 burning.

As you may know (or may not know) when burning XGD3 titles with IMGBURN it throws up lots of errors (the backup still works just fine - the game partition is completely intact).

We have successfully tested Clone CD and even though the burns are 1:1 same as IMGBURN - it just doesn't throw up a ton of errors so it's easier on the eyes and less clicking of popups http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/e...lies/smile.gif

6. Success http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/e...lies/smile.gif We now recommend that you Install the game to your hard drive. This prevents any authentication errors that some people experience when using certain burners / types of media.

CloneCD v5.3.1.0 works too :)

the one ive had on my system for ages :)

-=AD=-

Here's a question....
Given what we essentialy have here are failed burning discs, how does for example Nero now handle doing a backup from a backup (ie an on the fly disc to disc copy), or IMGBurn in creating an ISO from an xgd3 backup disc ?

has anyone had any major problems with this, i seem to have to burn everything 5 times to get them to actually read in the xbox, usual sized backups are fine
im guessing its down to the media quality as ive only got Aone discs left.

I have had no issue using aone plus discs on clonecd at maximum burn speed but not using abxg. I have not used imgburn of late so cant comment on that.

GOW3 Locked up on me twice last night at loading screens but the disk copied to the HDD no problems

new imgburn burns properly now, not had any issues but worried microsoft do a check on the last 1% of the disk to see that its not a genuine copy.

Using the New version of IMGBurn v2.5.6.0 do I Overburn or Truncate?

truncate

So, what it is actually doing, is ignoring the last 2Gb of the image at the burning process. That right? Just seems odd. Here goes nothing.

it basically fits whatever it can then finalises the disk

so don't expect a successful burn verification (yet).. that is normal
