Make sure you have the latest versions of the above programs installed (CloneCd 5.3.1.4 and IMGBurn 2.5.5.0), check the correct settings related to layerbreak, make sure that the drive writes images correctly on the computer.

Make sure that the backup you are making is from firmware 0800 with XGD3 support.

When writing IMGBurn, 3% is not appended, errors will occur. What data is missing from the disk?

According to c4eva, both recording methods are identical. The entire game is recorded. The non-writable space contains random data used for checks. LT 2.0 firmware emulates this data, so the game itself is recorded completely and without loss.

What settings should be used to write old games?

Therefore, for those who are interested in how to record games on the Xbox 360, a special instruction has been drawn up that will avoid all these difficulties and unpleasant consequences.

Preparatory part

Before we burn an Xbox 360 game to disc, consider a list of what will it take to complete this task.

Game file in the format .iso.
Stitched attachment Xbox 360 (for example, this one).
DVD drive which supports XGD2 and XGD3 protected game recording.
Empty double layer disc(DVD + R DL works best).
Programs to burn the so-called DVD image.

Particular attention should be paid to the format of the game and high-quality discs. So that after burning a game disc worked correctly when playing over the network, file in the format .iso must be in advance patched... A special program called ABGX... This utility will allow you to burn a disc for Xbox 360 in the desired format and will create an additional file .dvd.

It should be taken into account that the recording of modern games forces the discs to overcome some of their physical capabilities, since the recording takes place what is called "to the brim". Therefore, a disc for recording a game on Xbox 360 must be of high quality, two-layer with a volume of 8.5 GB. Blanks from the Verbatim brand are best suited, but in theory they can be replaced with any other equivalent that meets the specified parameters.

As far as DVD drives are concerned, choosing the right one requires taking into account the type of game being recorded. Some games are equipped with a special form of protection against creating unlicensed copies - XGD3, - which only some drives equipped with the MKT chipset can bypass (the best option is LiteOn iHas). For guard XGD2 does not really matter how you record games on the Xbox 360. Samsung, ASUS, Pioneer and others will do.

Now you have figured out what disc format the Xbox 360 has. Now it is necessary download and install a disc burning program on your computer... For this purpose, almost any utility is suitable, of which there are many on the network for free download. The key parameter is it must support .iso format and dual layer DVD.

Now that everything that is required to record the game on the flashed Xbox 360 is ready, you can proceed directly to the process itself.

Checking and patching the image of the game

The first challenge before recording an Xbox 360 game on disc is to patch the downloaded image... To do this, you need to download the file with the game in the format .iso to the program ABGX... But before that, you need to properly configure its work.

In the options menu, check the "Check / Fix Video padding" and "Check for AnyDVD style game data corruption" items.
In the AutoFix menu, set the limit to "Level 3".
Select the region you want. This can be done in the menu with the appropriate name "Region", where NTSC / U corresponds to the countries of North America, and PAL- European states (including Russia).

After the necessary settings are saved, you need to select the desired file in the ABGX program .iso and enter the AutoFix menu. At the bottom of the window, you can see the launch button. Click it. As soon as the special indicator turns green, it means that the process is complete.

At the output, the program will give patched image games for Xbox 360, and will also create an additional file in the format .dvd... The same can be pre-downloaded from the Internet. There are many freely available images of games on the network. Check downloaded files also possible with ABGX.

Game recording

The process itself is very simple and is unlikely to be accompanied by errors if the preparation was carried out correctly. To record an XGD2 game, you will need to do the following:

Insert a blank disc into the computer drive. It is important that your DVD + R disc has not been previously used.
Load the prepared game file into the recording program... Open it and select the service file of the required image in the format .dvd... The recording speed must be set equal to 2.4x. If it is higher, there is a high probability that unexpected errors will occur during the recording.
Record... Click the corresponding button for this action. In order for the process to be carried out as quickly and correctly as possible, close all possible programs before starting it.

In order to go through the same process, but with a game protected by the XGD3 method, you will have to first flash or patch the drive to be used for recording. For some drives the BurnerMAX Payload Tool can be used. It will increase the available space from 8.5 GB to 8.7 GB. After that, in order to properly burn a disc for Xbox 360 with the game XGD3, you need to follow the same sequence of steps that was described earlier for XGD2.

Microsoft has long strengthened its protection against unlicensed copying of games, and the old version of XGD2 has been replaced by stronger XGD3... Now writing new protected images for LT + 2.0 and LT + 3.0 drives has become much more sophisticated and trickier.

In this article we will analyze how to burn XGD3 disc for Xbox 360 what drive you need to burn the XGD3, and which discs to choose.

What program can burn XGD3 disc

To capture an XGD3-protected game image, you need download 3 programs at once:

BurnerMax Payload Tool - temporarily flashes the drive;
abgx360 - checks the image for errors and fixes them;
ImgBurn - correctly writes the image to disk, allows you to write to 100%.

BurnerMax Payload Tool is only needed if you are not going to flash the drive on a permanent basis. If the drive is already flashed, you do not need to download this program.

After installing the abgx360 program check its settings... There are tons of instructions on the Internet with screenshots showing what and how to enable / disable, etc.

What you need to record XGD3

To begin with, we need a DVD + R DL disc, an Xbox 360 burner that will burn discs at 100%, and a set-top box with an LT + 2.0 or LT + 3.0 drive firmware, so that these games can be played.

Our workshops produce Xbox 360 firmware... You can safely trust the many years of experience of our specialists. Call and sign up!

To write, you must use DVD + R DL dual layer discs only 8.5GB from Verbatim, TDK or another reliable manufacturer. They can be written down "to the end" and are best played on the console.

You can try to write to another disc, but the likelihood that it will not be damaged is negligible.

BurnerMax Payload Tool can install temporary drive firmware PC to burn XGD3 discs to PC.

Correctly write XGD3 on a non-firmware drive will not work.

Before you start burning and flashing your drive, make sure that the drive meets all the parameters necessary to create copies of the game. In particular, he must "be able" burn double layer DVDs... It is also worth remembering that far not all drives can be flashed.

Below is a list of actuators with which can write XGD3.

If you have a suitable drive for recording games on Xbox 360, you can proceed directly to the process itself.

How to identify the XGD3 image

Most often, information about the image is contained on the page from which it was downloaded. But sometimes we forget to look, and then we don’t know how to write it down. In this case, you can define protection version"approximately".

If the file with the .iso extension weighs 6-7.5GB (up to 8GB), then most likely it is XGD2. If the image takes 8-8.5GB or more, then we have XGD3.

Before recording, go to the settings of the ImgBurn program and select the tab "Record"... In chapter "Options" pay attention to the parameter Change Layers (DL Discs)... If you write down XGD2 disc in line "Sectors in layer 0:" indicate "1913760", a if XGD3, we write "2133520"... If you make a mistake the disc will be corrupted.

As a rule, connoisseurs of high-quality graphics and excellent gameplay do not ignore the unique Xbox 360 game console, which has one of the most powerful features. However, the memory of the console itself is limited, and the discs on which the games are recorded have a specific format that is unreadable by operating systems such as Windows. But the question of how to burn a disc for Xbox 360 so that later there will be no problems with its use has its own solution. And it is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.

What is Xbox 360?

The Xbox 360 itself is a video game console that was first introduced in 2005. Although it is believed that this is only the second flagship product, the Xbox 360 nevertheless is able to compete with such famous and powerful biscuits as the Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, related to the seventh generation consoles.

Not surprisingly, many fans often have a problem with how to burn a disc for the Xbox 360. Basically, there is nothing complicated about it. You just need to consider a few points related to the discs used for recording and modifications to the console itself.

Console modifications

It would be naive to believe that the Xbox 360 is only released as one version of a single standard. Depending on the modification, the set-top box may be equipped with a built-in W-Fi module, may have a different amount of internal memory, etc. The latest version, so in general, has 5 USB 2.0 ports against the three that were presented earlier. There is also an AUX output and a TOSLINL S / PDIF audio jack.

There are also modifications such as Xbox 360 S, Xbox One, which has an emulator of the Xbox 360 model, Xbox 360 special edition for Japan and Europe, etc.

Equally important, the original first version of the console had a memory capacity of 250GB. Wanting to lower the price, the manufacturer took the path of least resistance and reduced the internal flash memory to 4 GB. That is why the question of how to burn a disc for the Xbox 360 arose so acutely, because nothing can be saved on the internal hard drive, no matter how much you want.

Discs used for recording games

To record games on optical media that will be recognized by Xbox 360 consoles, you must comply with several prerequisites. This has less to do with the software environment than with the types of optical media themselves. The first and foremost condition is to use only DVD + R DL (Dual Layer) discs.

Not a DVD-R at all. In other words, these should be "blanks". These are double-layer discs, during recording of which they do not need to be turned over to the other side in order to add some content there.

Note that the set-top box itself will not work with other disks of similar formats. As for the most basic problem, it is very easy to burn a disc for Xbox 360 using the most common programs for copying or burning optical discs.

The most common programs for recording games

Basically, in order to understand how to burn a disc for Xbox 360, you can use almost any program that supports imaging. Almost anything will do. However, some programs have limitations. The simplest method may be to solve the question of how to burn a disc for the Xbox 360 ImgBurn, using a program that, along with the same Nero, is capable of burning and copying discs.

General principles of copying original discs

The general technology for burning discs with games for this console is that the initially downloaded content contains two images in the main folder: an image with the name of the game.iso and an image with the name of the game in dvd format. It is the second image that is used for recording.

Note, if the content is presented in the form of an image of the .nrg format, the CloneDVD (CloneCD) program is not strongly recommended to be used. Further, the burning process is reduced only to selecting the original image, and then pressing the button to start burning. In this case, it is desirable to set the minimum speed. Typically, this is 2x or 4x. In general, less is more. Here you should also pay attention to the speed supported by the drive itself and the disc used for recording.

It goes without saying that any program of this type has a function to select the recording method. For example, in the same CloneDVD application, you can use the Write From Image command. Actually, this implies that the disc will be written from the image. Then, using the "Browse" button, you need to find the file you are looking for with the .dvd extension and click on the start button.

It is advisable to comply with one more condition - to check the data after recording. In most programs, this feature is called Verification. Although it will take a little time, nevertheless, you can be sure that the recording was made correctly, and the game itself will be functional.

Outcome

Ultimately, as it is already clear, the question of burning discs for the Xbox 360 is not so difficult. The problem of copying protected game discs is not currently considered. It also has its own nuances. In this case, it is assumed that the computer's hard drive has downloaded information in the form of two images (or one in the case of Nero Burning ROM). In principle, any user familiar with the basics of burning optical discs using images can cope with this task in a few minutes.

As mentioned above, you just need to comply with a few fundamental conditions in terms of the disks and programs used, as well as responsibly approach the recording process itself from the point of view of software, checking data after writing, setting the minimum level of write and read speed of the disc, etc. etc.

Only after that it will be possible to achieve not only high-quality recording of the source material on a regular DVD-medium, but also full operability of the game loaded onto the console. If everything is done in compliance with all of the above conditions, there should be no problems launching games.

To play Xbox 360, you will need a game disc anyway, but you don't have to buy one as you can burn it directly on your computer. The process is quite long, but thanks to this instruction it will not cause you any problems. You will need a DVD-R DL disc, the game image you downloaded earlier on the Internet, the ABGX360 utility, the BurnerMAX Payload Tool, and ImgBurn. All software is distributed free of charge, it can be downloaded from the official developer's website. Check your disc for scratches and dust, make sure it is intact. The game image must be downloaded in advance from your own source. Now you can start recording.

Older consoles will require users to install a "mod chip" on their motherboards to copy games to bypass copyright protection. You can use the free software to create. Install the program and restart your computer.

Provide a title for the file created on your computer. This was intended to help developers increase the storage capacity for new games, as well as fight piracy. This led to the truncation burning method. The only difference is that you just write until you leave the room and then discard the remaining data. The reason this method will work is because the discarded data did not contain any game data and was just random additions and security checks.

How to Burn a Game to Disc for Xbox 360: Installing and Configuring ABGX360

This utility is needed to fix the game image. Often, various errors are made in them, and you cannot do without this program. At this stage, you will need:

Downloaded image of the game.
ABGX360 program.

Go to the official website of the utility https://abgx360.xecuter.com and select your operating system. You only need to download the installer, that is, the file with the word "Installer".

Finishing burning a disc image to a disc

Now you don't need to brilliantly figure out how dangerous and unreliable the truncation method is. The only downside to this is that you are pushing the discs to their rated capacity. This leads to anxiety about getting a quality burn. The correct settings for quality burns can vary greatly for each person. You can tweak them through trial and error later for better results. The reason the settings change is because all the variables exist.

Double click on the downloaded file and put a check mark next to all the items.

The installation directory must be on the local drive of your computer.

Once the installation is complete, you will see the word "Close" in the lower right corner.

These variables exist because we are passing by the design capacity of the disk. Since they are high quality discs and since you are pushing discs past what they were meant to be, you will need them. Better burn quality means less chance of mistakes and less work for your laser. There is no real reason not to use them. Also, if possible, try and get the ones made in Singapore.

I read paragraphs well; let's burn! Now select "Burn Image File to Disc". It doesn't matter which one you use to enable them. Do nothing while the game is on. This will help you get a good burn. Go get a snack or something while it burns.

This program is quite primitive and simple, therefore it does not create its own shortcut on the desktop. You need to find it yourself using the search box.

Once the utility opens, go to the "Options" section.

Getting bursts on a layer is fairly common. Does this mean my burn was bad and the game won't play well? Don't worry if this is not the case, as it is quite common. You will have to play around with the settings to try and find what works best for you, but be prepared for tons of coasters!

Then hopefully we can solve this problem. You need a multimeter and a small screwdriver. You are simply measuring and decreasing the resistance in your laser, giving it more room to read games.

If the game disc has a newer version of the console software than you currently have, the game disc will prompt you to install an update when you launch the game. Note. If you choose not to update your console software, you will be prompted to update the next time you launch the game.

Here you need to exactly repeat the checkboxes from the screenshot below. Arrange them and check if they are correct.

Now repeat the procedure in the "AutoFix" tab.

That's all. You just need to select the game image file by clicking on the button with the folder icon.

When prompted, select Yes to update the new console software. An error code appears when trying to update the console. What is an update? Nothing. How do I know if my console software is up to date? Do I need to install an update? New games may also need to be updated before you can play them. The updated console will be updated. What should I do?

With a friend to have a cozy night game, and it already happened: the disc is scratched. The same goes for home use, because carelessness is usually enough and this has already happened with the original. In order not to risk it, it is recommended to make a backup.

Then, by clicking on the large curly "Launch" button, your image will be instantly patched and ready for further work.

If you saw such a window, then everything worked out correctly.

How to Burn Game to Disc for Xbox 360: Setting Up Burner MAX Payload Tool

You just need to run this program and select your DVD drive in it. It will be on during the entire recording period.

The only problem with these discs is that they scratch pretty quickly. But you can fix this problem with a simple backup. Therefore, you must first choose the right equipment. The important thing is the burner, which has a double layer function.

By the way, the demo is quite enough here. As for the selection of compatible blanks, a small sample list is provided below. The only thing that happened is that it voids the warranty. Recognize what type of game it has. Now you need to insert additional video files.

Go to http://www.afterdawn.com and download the utility.

During installation, you should be especially careful, since this utility first downloads the official download manager, and only then the program itself. When you see such a window, click "Next".

Just make the settings as follows. Check it out. A command window will now open showing the progress of the check. The security files are checked first, and then the data. First, we have to download and unpack the firmware package. Now let's take care of backing up the original firmware just in case.

After the backup is complete, go to actual flashing. After the second run, it should look like this. If the check fails, the game is not in the database. If it is a newer game, it may be added later, in which case it means waiting or risk of losing security files. In older games, it can be assumed that they are no longer added and can only be trusted blindly.

When you see special offers, you need to click "Decline".

After downloading, you will see a file with the .exe extension in your archive.

Opening it, the Burner MAX Payload Tool will start. In the line above, select your DVD drive and click on the "Burner Max" button. Leave the program running.

Note: Red = bad. If so, that's a bad reputation. Therefore, it is best to uninstall and get a different version. Then click on the picture in the lower left corner and the recording process will begin. If there are bugs, you can expect the game to not work as expected.

Backup. The file being read is then saved to a safe location. In the second step, we will take care of the firmware. There we click on "Burn image file to disk". Remember this ID or leave the window open. After double clicking on the record, another window will open, which will show other records with which we can overwrite ours. A pop-up warning will be confirmed yes.

How to Burn Game to Disc for Xbox 360: Install ImgBurn and Burn

You just need to install and configure the last utility. Download it from http://www.imgburn.com
You can choose any download mirror.

So, we have finished our firmware for this type of letterhead. In the upper right-hand corner, click Save. The warning is confirmed yes and the firmware is saved in the next window by clicking "Save". Now go to actual blinking. Then click "Open" and confirm the pop-up warning with "Yes".

Now we need to tweak a few minor things about the drive's settings. The topology data is checked first, then the security files, and finally the data. If it's a recent game, it might be added later, in which case it means waiting or risking losing security files. This does not mean that in any case there can be no prohibition. If there are still problems or ambiguities, please let me know. Avatar. The earth burns in no way yields to its already bad predecessors. Because instead of improving something, almost everything remained the same.

If you need a crack, then download it from the link below by selecting the line "Russian".

Installation is simple and quick. Once the program window opens, select "Write files to disk".

The graphics are the same as the predecessor. Cheap illustrated cartoon environment and cartoon characters as well as bad animation of attacks and other movements. In addition, the game is also uneven, which, unfortunately, leads to headaches after a long playing time.

The controls work well, but you can't be wrong if there are only three attacks to choose from. You can run and run so you can dodge. The flow of the game, unfortunately, also breaks down in some places. Enemies run freely and then when they touch, a fight with many creatures takes place on a new battle screen. It doesn't hurt, but monsters are hiding pretty much everywhere and you can barely avoid them. It's easy at some point. The playback time is not the longest. Of course, you are playing "only" the second book "Earth from the series", but much more toys could be made out of this.

Select the drive and then the disk image file itself. You can have two images: with the .iso extension and .dvd. Better to choose the second one.
After that click on the entry. The process has started and will last for several minutes. Refrain from any work at the computer at this moment, it is better not to touch it. Once the recording is finished, eject the disc and check on the Xbox 360.

Atmospheric, unfortunately, the game can hardly show anything. The same sound is constantly in the background. Outside of battles, mostly not. In addition, we look at what is happening almost from a bird's eye view. Much less joy. Poor management and graphics make it all clear.

It makes sense, first of all, to create a backup in case there are problems with scratches in the original game in the future. So why not back up your own games and keep them safe and secure? In reality, however, one burner is sufficient. The choice of burner speed is much more important.

Because it can be used in many cases at extremely high speed, but it is not useful in a game copy. It has proven itself with the slowest speed to burn games as it comes into such a burning process, mainly due to its low resiliency. And with a burning rate, the risk of firing errors increases significantly.

Hardware requirements are usually not very high. Hard disk space and hard disk speed are especially important. At least 50 gigabytes of free hard disk space should be planned. In addition, it makes sense to save the image file to a new and therefore fast hard drive so that there is no data bottleneck during the recording process. It is advisable to have sufficient working memory, as this also speeds up the combustion process and thus facilitates the transfer of data to the burner.

What is Xbox 360?

But illegal copies are circulating on the Internet. Then they give "file" and "save settings", give it a name, and each of them will fix it. This configuration is retained, so there is no reason to return it. And they give the first option to "write the image file to disk" and download them.

How to burn a disc: the necessary programs

And in the window that appears, they give a "truncation". The next thing you should see is that the operation was successful. If your disc stays in "play" and does not come into play, you probably did not correct or record correctly, or. You can do it yourself or find someone to do it.

Console modifications

Keep in mind that downloading games that you have not purchased is illegal in most parts of the world, and even downloads games that, if purchased, are not very visible and may cause you problems. If you don't use the correct block, the backup may fail or not work at all. You will need this when writing to disk.

Select a region from the region menu.
Click the Run button at the bottom of the window.
A new window will appear with the results of reading the patch details.
The fixing process will take a little.
Good recorders will work to make successful copies.

Video games are a great time to have fun together or even alone while experiencing the adventures of our favorite characters.

There are also modifications such as Xbox 360 S, Xbox One, which has an emulator of the Xbox 360 model, Xbox 360 special edition for Japan and Europe, etc.
