Some questions on burning dvds

[JacobMOX91]

I've been gifted a 360 with a flashed dvd drive. I downloaded the Eternal Sonata AlvRo iso (with all the games I didn't play, I choose a Jrpg on a Microsoft console lol) and I burned it with the layer break 1913760, imgburn and a cheap dual layer for testing (Memorex).

The game works (the first 15 minutes for sure), but it doesn't setup (it stops at about 50%) and even now and then, when I try to play with the dvd, it blocks the system and I've to hard reset.

It's iso, dvd burner or cheap dvd's fault, or I missed something?

They also gave me 10 games (mostly Traxdata) which all works and setup.

What does ABGX360 say?

Wow, didn't know about this ISO checker... i'm a total newbie with newer consoles (had only psx and ps2) so i'm just approaching this world. I'll try to see what are the results.

Some games are larger than the maximum capacity of these DVDs and need a special burner drive that supports overburn. Could be that this is one of those games but I don’t know. Checking the ISO with ABGX seems like a good idea tho

Eternal sonata should be an xgd2.

Just checked it and the result is: "All CRCs match, veritification was successful". The ISO seems to be perfect. So, it's possible my DVD Burner didn't make a perfect copy for any reason or that the Memorex DVD is too low quality/my XBOX drive doesn't digest it?

ABGX also created a .dvd file, but it's the layer break I used.

I'd use verbatim if I were you. most systems seem to be picky about burned discs.

Yep, I think it's the safest way to burn again. The only thing is I've to get them from eBay or Amazon (I live in a small town with only Memorex available).

I also confirm it's xgd2 (lower than 8 gb, and the image is called xgd2 when I open it with ImgBurn).

Thanks for the tips, i'll update you

I know for sure that that disc image shouldn't be corrupted anyway, because I recently downloaded eternal sonata from the same uploader as you. I downloaded the full iso, ripped it to a jtag rip with exiso, then tested it on my jtag. no issues. my save is still present. I posted a couple of pics of it in another thread. the reason I got the game is because I had forgotten about it, and apparently it's not on the bc list for the series x, so I can't get it there anyway.
