Is your xbox360 a PAL system? If you are in the USA, it is most likely a NTSC system, not PAL, and you should only be using NTSC games for it.

Is it important to use Verbatim DVDs? I read a lot that those DVDs are better. Is Phillips also okay?

Always get quality DVD media.
Verbatim is the golden standard.

You will have to patch all your ISOs and you will have to burn XGD3 games with a burner that is compatible with the Burner Max Payload tool.

Regarding region, most 360 games are Region free, ABGX can check this for you.
Try and get your games in the region that the console was released in, you can try RF or other region games but your mileage may vary.

So Phillips DVDs are no good?

I checked th game and dvd with ABGX but there was nothing wrong. Sonic Unleashed is a XGD2 Game, how can i burn a XGD3 game then? Also isn't ABGX patching the game already? How can I do that?

Burned it at 2.4x speed?
ABGX auto patches a game if it needs to, if it doesn't do that, it either doesn't need patching or is patched.
Burn XGD2 and XGD3 with IMGBurn.
Tutorial on how to patch with ABGX... I have written a very detailed tut on GBAtemp, a little google work will help you find the results you need.

Burning games is as easy as selecting the dvd file in IMGburn, and hitting burn on 2.4x speed.
Yep, did that. Not to sound rude, if it was easy as you say i wouldn't be here again 🤣

Sooooooo.... I just burned two Dvds on different PCs and burners and they also don't work. I used your guide with the same options etc. I'll flash the drive again maybe it'll change I don't know. But it's not my burner or pc or dvds, as far as I know everything is alright as far as the Programs say...

I definitely recommend using Verbatim, best media for Xbox 360 burning.
Well yeh thx, but in case the disc drive has an issue I would buy new dvds for nothing... It's kinda waste of money... I'll see maybe I still have one of those disks if not I don't know what else to do than buying I guess...

See if the drive reads and plays a real DVD game, if so, then drive is ok and most likely its the media, or burn settings.

Real DVD game? Like an original 360 game?
Settings or burner can't be the issue In my case, as far as I know, like already said, I check everything 🥲

Yea like a real game disc. I remember in the past trying different brand media and having troubles also. Verbatim was the one media that always worked. Another option is RGH modding it, but that would require some soldering of a few wires to the motherboard. But after you RGH it, no more burning disc, games are on a usb external hdd. Good luck.

    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
