a few sites now explain how to adgust the pot on the dvdrom if it doesent read backups correctly.would this make it read more brands of cdr?

xbox scene has this pot setting infomation.

In short, yes, the xbox scene information is correct, if your already chipped no problem with voiding the waranty
Peace

so who has tried this and got other brand cdr to work?

you guys really DO NOT want to play games on CD. Access times are very slow.

yes i do because some are on cdr and not everyone can afford to buy dvdr backups.
