Burning 360 and original Xbox games

[AATHENINJA206]

Hello everyone!
I had a question about burning Xbox games. will burned original Xbox games work on Xbox 360? Has anyone ever tried this?
I did it once, I burned the game to a dual layer DVD and the 360 did read it how ever it was stuck on the white Xbox screen.
Any solutions?

Look at this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/burning-original-xbox-games-to-play-in-xbox-360.589259/

But to recap it would be much easier to rip the games to your internal hard drive......as far as i can see from your recent posts you have an RGH Xbox......so why do you want to burn games?

No special reason, I always wanted to burn original Xbox games and see if they work!
And also, my friends have a flashed 360, so I thought I could burn a few of Xbox games for them. They've been dying to play Halo 2!
Do I need to get the XISO or ISO file of the game? And do I need to patch it with abgx360? I can't remember since the last time I tried was a few years back!

Yeah, discs work, but remember, it's not compatible with all games. Being stuck on the Xbox logo suggests it can't find the compatibility files. I don't know if the hacked ones work with discs either.

The last time I tried I burned the ISO file of the game.
Maybe It'll work if I burn the XISO?

Try DVD mulleter.

Try DVD mulleter.

Does DVD mulleter extract ISO files? I'm not really familiar with this program.

 

[godreborn]

You don't want to extract the iso.

You don't want to extract the iso.

I'm sorry I'm so lost right now .
Do I need to burn the ISO, or the XISO of the game?

 

[godreborn]

Iso

Iso

What happens if you burn the XISO of the game?

 

[godreborn]

Not sure what an xiso is.

Not sure what an xiso is.

I noticed a difference between ISO and XISO.
when you extract the ISO file, you get some folders named VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS etc.
But when you extract the XISO file, you get the default.xbe file plus the game files like maps, textures etc.
XISO is smaller as well.
An example is Halo: CE.
The ISO is 6.7gb, but the XISO is 3.2gb.
They include different folders and files. The ISO you have to manually extract it using DVD mulleter or other programs to get the XISO(if I'm not mistaken.)
Anyway, I inserted a 360 game into my PC'S DVD drive and it had the default.xex on the disc. However, when I inserted the og Xbox game that I had burned before(I had burned the ISO file), it didn't show the default.xbe. maybe that's the reason my 360 couldn't launch the game correctly.

Sounds like the padding has been removed. You don't want that for a disc.

Hey, you can't play either burned Xbox original or burned 360 discs if you don't have a flashed disc drive on the 360. If you have it flashed, Xbox original disc should work even without the padding on the disc iirc, as long as they're compatible.

So theres no difference if I burn the ISO or the XISO, right?

 

[CoolMe]

There's no reason to either burn or play burned discs anymore. You can just transfer the extracted files to your rgh..

Compressed isos, yes they should still work. Though i can't recall if you need to extract them before burning or not.
The full isos are for dual layer discs, so there's that.

I should burn the og Xbox games to dual layer DVDs. Correct?

yes, that's what you normally do with a flashed, nonrgh console. I don't think it would freeze on the xbox splash screen if it were a flashed drive problem. I don't think you'd even make it that far. it will freeze if the compatibility files are missing. do you have an internal hard drive?
