DATA BURN method with screen shots

[dude]

XBox "DATA BURN" procedure
This guide is to show you how to backup XBox games using the "data burn" method.
This guide also assumes you already have EvolutionX (aka "EvoX") setup and you can connect to you’re XBox using an ftp program of you’re choice.

1) Connect to XBox using EvoX and FTP program of you’re choice.
2) Create a temp folder on my pc and transfer all game data from XBox DVD drive (drive D) to this temp folder.
3) all newer games have a media check to deter people from making backups. this is very easy to overcome.
(3.1). if you can load the x2.4977 bios or newer on to you'r mod chip do so as this will auto patch the game.

(3.2). find a tool called isocraxtion with this tool you just patch all the .xbe files on you'r game prior to burning.

(3.3). you can manually use a hex editor app to patch the .xbe file but i dont have much info on this method. check out quall999's web site for info on this method.

4) Start RecordNow MAX and cancel the wizard that pops up when you first start.


5) Click File > New > Data Disk from the top left hand menu bar.


6) When the burn window opens, click Edit > Add Files and Folders, and go in to the temp folder you previously created, and select all the files (CTRL+A) and click add.



7) Enter the name of the game into the Volume label, and then click the record icon.


Sit back and watch some TV while your game is being recorded.

[rms2001]

By all means go ahead and use it.

Make them smaller? They are under 200K for all of them. LOL you should have seen them before I made them smaller.

Question: can you host these images? I have them hosted on my ISP’s webserver and I don’t know how much they will like images being posted in forums from their servers. Just wanta have a back up if they decide to take them down.

What I mean is that I need to clip it to fit in the barder of my tables, and still be able to read the words in the picture.

And If you want, I can put them in my anglefire account. The only thing I use the account for is to host images, so I can post them in forums and stuff.

[rms2001]

Great if you can host those, this way my ISP wont have a cow when the seen how much bandwidth my website used. LOL

Just give dude the new URLs to the images so he can go back and edit the post.

Had some time, so I got more pictures so that the title made sense lol.

[rms2001]

Hey nice job, better than the ones I did. I just have had no time to even think about doing them again. And now that I'm 3,000 miles away from home I really don't have the time. LOL This is the first time I've been able to get online for a week now. Got lots of things to catch up on.

Again nice job.

[dude]
