I wanted to backup my amped game, so I transfered it using EVO-x and flashfxp or whatever. Then I made it into an Xbox Iso with xiso and burned it. I put it in my xbox and it wont boot? Do I have to do something else?
Maybe its just becuase I burned it at 2x, but ive burned others at 2x. Please help.

this is how to do it:

Step 1: Download XBCopy from you local xbox site.

Step 2: Upload it to your xbox and test it and it should be able to run off the harddrive.

Step 3: Put in Original Xbox Game to Xbox drive, then access XBcopy, and it will give you options to copy from your Xbox D: Drive, to your Xbox E: Drive.

Step Four: Let the files transfer to your E: drive with XBCopy from your Xbox DVD Drive,

**Note that you cannot do this without XBCopy, and you will be getting like 10MB a sec, with it :-)****

Step Five: Once Transfered, Copy the files from your Xbox E: Drive to your PC HD via FlashFXP.

***Note the reason for this is that the reason why people cant get there backups going, is becuase when u transfer from Xbox DVD Drive to PC, files get missing and incomplete, its a fact it happened with my doa3, it took me 10 dvdrs later to realise***

Step Six: So you have all your full game on the HD of ya PC, now open up Prassi Primo DVD:


If you have the wizard enabled, click 'Goto Full Application'
Goto File --> New Job --> Data Disc
Drag the Files under that temp directory into the Window area on the right
Goto Edit --> Recording Options
Set all options to the following:

Pre-Mastering Cache: Cache files small than 16kb
File Date and Time: Orignal File Date and Time
Check "When loading a track, if a file already exists, substitute it only if it is newer"

CD
Recording type: Disc at Once (DAO), Closed
Mode: Mode 1
File System Type: UDF - Up to 128 in the filename length, any char., plus 8+3 tree (Bridge)

DVD
Recording type: Disc at Once (DAO), Closed
File System Type: UDF - Up to 128 in the filename length, any char., plus 8+3 tree (Bridge)

everything else blank.

Step Seven:
This works 100% for me on DVD-R media, just
-make sure that you structure the disc so that the root dir of the game is the true root dir of the disc you burn.

The easiest way to do that is to just take the folder you've created with
-the game inside and add it to the data disc, then right-click it and choose
-'Modify folder on disc' and click the 'Root' button. Click root on the folder and the defaul.xbe.

For Example, doa3 has no folders, so just highlight all the files and root them (yes root them, but not in that way you sick freak
If you have a game like Jet Set Radio, with a Media Folder and default.xbe, root the folder and the file after you have dragged it in.

Step Eight: Burn at whatever speed you are comftible with, I burn at 2X

There you go 8 easy steps and you have a working copy of ya BACKED UP xbox game.

OK I will try this when I get home. How long does it take to transfer from the xbox dvd drive to the xbox hard drive? Since its 10 MB per second I would think it would be slow? How long does the whole process take for like a 1GB game?
Thanks for your help

20 min to a half hour or so. Imagine how many times you could just load a dvdr game in that time :-)

hmm, I got the software (Xbcopy). but do I put it on the hard drive? How do I use it? There arent any instructions... :( Do I put all the files on the c drive on the xbox? and what do I do after its loaded on there? Do I just put a game in and will it copy to the HD?

with 100mbit switcher/hub i get about 3 meg from Xbox to PC
from PC to XBOX i only get about 1.5 meg a second.
I recommend if you can use a 100mb hub it make abig difference also i get no collisions too.
