Validating/Fixing x360 games for LIVE

You don't have to actually be playing on live to be flagged/banned, simply been signed into your live profile and network cable plugged in is enough for a flag/ban if you have a unsafe game in your drive. So if you plan on playing a pre-release/pre-validated game do so at your own risk.

Validate/Fix your game before burning

I wouldn't recommend manually downloading and inserting stealth files unless you know they are the EXACT one you need, these apps will do it automatically for you and allot more, they will automatically create a .dvd file if its missing correct broken ones and fix non 1:1 game images and patch the correct stealth info

I personally use the following 2 apps, 1 after the other to double check before burning.

Click next on the first screen then load your iso/000 file and click next again. Now you want to go into the CRC Checking tab at the bottom and click autofix, you may need autofix twice if it doesnt check the data partition the first time round.

Use the input section at top to load your game iso/000 etc then dont change any settings as the default are fine and everything is done automatically anyway. Go into the autofix tab and enable the "Adjust angle 359" feature for Burning Games

Firstly it makes no difference it you think you wont be playing on live or not its better to still take the same precautions incase at some point you do decide to or wanna maybe download games/movies via live, otherwise you would need to re-download/copy and burn all your games again.

1.) You need to get your xbox drive flashed with the latest hacked firmware (1.4).

2.) You need to also update the firmware of your burner.

3.) You need to install IMGBurn.

4.) Before burning the game image you need to follow the above instructions for validating/fixing the image to make sure its propely stealthed.

5.) The perfect discs for x360 backups are Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x
They are quite expensive but they are then best quality discs you can get and are most compatible, other brands will just put unessesary stress on the laser and will shorten its lifespan.

6.) After Validating/Fixing the game you right click the .dvd file that came with it and choose the burn option.

7.)
(This step isnt always needed depending on fw or drive/burner)
At this point you should first click the little book icon on right of software and permanently set the booktype of your burner as DVD-ROM for DL media, if your burner is listed.

If not then dont worry most new fw's for burner do it anyway.

8.) Just set the burn speed to 2.4x (Isnt needed for all burners but this gives the best quality burn, unless you can set it to a lower speed ofcourse)

9.) pop in your x360 an Enjoy :)

Enjoy.. and play safe
