how to make your 360 play burned games online and how to back them up

How-to Backup Your Original XBOX360 Games

Before we start with this tutorial here's a quick note:

This guide is written to help you take backups of your original xbox360 games, mainly due the fact that the microsoft xbox360 is causing alot of trouble on game discs like scratches due the malfunction of several dvd-drives and therefore you should be able to backup your own legit copy.

Also take note you won't be able to play your backups as microsoft won't allow booting of dvd-r on your xbox360.

We do not support piracy in any way with this tutorial!

Before we start lets see what we all need:

1) A dvd-drive wich can be easly taken apart
2) Your original xbox360 game
3) Data/Movie dvd wich is at least 8gigabyte in size
4) Philips screwdriver to open your dvd-drive
5) WxRipper can be found @ http://www.360-scene.org/ or at the bottom of the article
6) Optional: Wx360 wich can be found @ http://www.360-scene.org/ or at the bottom of the article
7) Last but not least, some patience

Equipment used by me for this tutorial:

- A pioneer dvd-r a04 (one of the best to take apart and acces the laser unit)
- DISC 3 from SEASON 2 of 24 (PAL / UK) wich is 8,3Gigabyte
- My original Dead Or Alive 4 game

Step 1: Take your dvd-drive apart

First of all we need to acces the laser untit of our dvd-drive, this can useally be done by removing the screws wich holds it casing! You will need to figure out yourself on how to do this for your own dvd-drive, but it should be a piece of cake.

Warning: this action will most likely void your units warrenty so make sure you want to do this!

When you did everything correct and you see the laser unit, it will probly look something like this.

STEP 2: Installing your dvd-drive

The hardest part is over now and we should now connect our dvd-drive to the computer and place it on an easy accesible place.

I'm sure you all know that this has to be done when the power is shutdown from your computer.

When everything is in place, power on your computer and continue to the following step.

STEP 3: WxRipper

By now you should have extracted both files we mentioned earlier and have them installed on your computer, so let's fire-up WxRipper and see how things work.

a) Put your dvd in the drive wich is over 8 gigabyte (I used 24 season 2 disc3) and wait until your computer recognized it.

b) From the menu select Hotswap and then "Find magic number".

c) After the magic number has been found you select "Stop drive".

d) now comes the magic part, you need to switch the dvd wich is in your drive with your original game.
Warning: this needs to be done without pressing the
eject button!!

e) when everything is back in place you can select "spin drive"

f) when the drive is spinning again it's time to dump the image, this can be done by clicking on "start dump"

g) You can take a break now as this stage can take a long time depening on the read speed of your dvd drive.

h) - After some time, almost one hour for my case, i have now dumped my xbox360 game.
- The dumped image is a exact RAW copy of the original game disc, wich means any dummy data is copied with this.
- You can now burn this .iso file to an empty dvd-r dl or you can continue with these optional steps and start experimenting with the xbox360 files.

OMG I never knew this could be done ha ha.. Hmmm Yeah I think I must of did something wrong as when I sent my xbox away (because of the rings of death) and got it back all my saved game thingos (Oh I am technical) had gone. I had to start games all over again.. I was so shitty with one of my games as I got to the second last part before finishing it, and that was hard. Well I lost it all. hmmmm prob something I could have done and I really thought everything was saved onto the HD but it did all dissappear, but oh well I am not up with this stuff. I just no the basic.

Thanx for this info dragon. I will do this when my warranty runs out.. Least I am better with computers etc. Razz

This wants only work when copying from A Dvd r/+r disc and wants emergency work with original XBOX discs as A PC DVD drive cant READ them.

-- FINALLY FIXED THE fu*kING LOCKING NOSE I finally got around tons implementing per by threading in such a way now you CAN dare ton touch your PC and DO OTHER things while CloneXB is doing its thing. This has been A big problem for everyone since the 1st version OF CloneXB.
-- Fixed the ' Keep temp files ' option so that when its emergency selected temp files DO actually GET deleted.

2-Qwix 101

Qwix? What is that?

Qwix is a very simple to use XBOX Remote File Management and ISO Creation Tool. That's a pretty complicated description, so let me try again. Qwix lets you do a variety of tasks VERY easily, and right from your PC. Have a bunch of ISO's sitting on your PC that you need to load onto your XBOX? Open up Qwix and use the ISO batch upload tool. Just tell it where your ISOs are, and where you want them to be on the XBOX, and then let it fire. It will automagically extract the ISO's out into properly named folders in your games directory. It pulls the game name from the ISO, and even let's you change it if that isn't what you want it to be called in the games menu.

Ok, that's fine and all, but what else can it do? Well, along that same path, it also creates ISOs for you. You select a game from your XBOX that you want to create an ISO from, and tell it where to save on your PC. You can even choose to crosslink files, which means that it will take common areas of the game and "cross" them so that they don't have to appear multiple times. That saves valuable diskspace, and can change a DVDR game into a CDR game!

Beyond that? Well, if you are also using Avalaunch, then you need to go into your avalaunch.xml and make sure that BOOST mode is enabled, because you are gonna love that. When combined with Avalaunch, Qwix has the ability to upload ISO's to your xbox at speeds much faster than you could achieve with a normal FTP client. Give it a try, compare it, and watch Qwix get the files there 3 times faster!
