Do Bulkpaq DVDr work well on the X Box?

I mean, without any skipping! Basically running like the normal game or anyother brand of media.

If not which is best to use?
FWS 2nd Gen, Verbs, Datasafe, etc etc?

it all depends on your dvd rom drive. for some reason microsoft decided to use different drives, some read anything you throw at them while others net pot adjusting

I thought the enighmah's supposed to play all sorts of media, even the cheap stuff.

yeh the chip allows the playback off all media, however if the drive itself cant read the discs even a modchip cant alter that fact

from xboxmods.co.uk

DVDR test results show that if you have a good ROM drive pretty much anything will play.

However if your drive is fussy then the main problem discs seem to be bulkpaq, princo and datasafe blue top.

The one disc that we've tested working perfect with any ROM drive (and yes I know its my own brand) is the new NEO DVDR. We've had this in manufacture for a couple of months now - mainly testing for the PS2 and movies - but it is outstanding on the XBOX. If you'd like to buy some for only £1.95 + vat (plus free DVD Case) then visit www.playstationmods.com/cdr.htm

Bulk prices are of course listed for those who buy 10 or more.

Thans for that link m8, will get them instead. They look a lot better and aren't that much more either!

Voice of experience... fitted my own xtender, every Bulkpaq I have tried works 100%, fast loading, no skipping.
Every FWS I have tried does not work 100%

I guess what this tells you unfortunately, is that every xbox is different and finding a media that will work on all models is going to be difficult.
Just got some Generation3 in, hoping these are good.
But mine is fine with BP !

I'm with the majority here. I have many bp's and more don't work than do.
BP and Traxdata seem to be the only dodgy brands as all others are 100%
