i was wondering if this would work?
when you install a game on the hard drive do it copy everything on the disk to a folder or something? well if yall know how that works, if one was to have an external hard drive would it be possible to just rip the whole game to a folder or if you already have a ready burn image just extract it to a folder the same way it is when its installing it and use the image burner to burn the image on a regular dvd+r even though it will never fit (i forgot what program lets you continue with the burning anyway) and then just play from the hard drive, i dout it reads and confirms the whole disk before it determines if its the right one.
just a theroy i had and can't find any verbatim dl in store around here and too anchious to buy some online and wait. the memorex and tdk dls don't work very well.

Re: burning a game on regular dvd+r
The problem is we don't know if the 360 looks for a specific sector or not on the disc to determine if it's a good game or not. We've been talking about trying to find a way to make a single disc with the pertinent info from multiple games so you could use one disc to play several games pre-installed on the hard drive. Good in theory but is kind of a pain in practice.
BTW this is the best site to buy Verbs from. All of them made in singapore.

thanks for the reply. i always have regular dvd+rs laying around. maybe on my next free weekend i'll grab a 50 stack and chop up an image an do some testing. this will really challenge my programming skills lol. and thanks for the store i will be buying from them.
Re: burning a game on regular dvd+r
Same disks, verbatim DL +R 2.4 are available on newegg.com free shipping, so its only 26.99. bought 2 bundles already.
thou shall not... <insert bad thing here>
Re: burning a game on regular dvd+r
The thing about buying them from newegg is you may not get the singapore ones. The disc from India have been known to have a much lower standard of quality. That's why I suggested the site. They only sell the disc from Singapore.

Re: burning a game on regular dvd+r
I bought a bundle of 50 Verbatims from Sam's Club for $60. They were however made in India. They say there is a 98% success rate for them. Which means 1 out of a 50 stack will go bad. I ruined a few myself but only because of my own dumb*ss not using abgx 360 first.
