So I just softmodded my Xbox with Splinter Cell and did all that good stuff. I can play legitimate games no problem but I cant seem to get burned games to work. I boot into the softmodded menu and when I put my burned game in and hit Launch DVD (Ive tried a couple like GTA San Andreas and NFL 2K4) it will display the title like it's going to boot but then it kicks me back into the softmodded menu. What's strange is that I can rip the game to the hard drive just fine using DVD2Xbox. I don't have a big HDD yet though so continuing to do that isn't an option for me.

I use Verbatim DVD-R and I burned the ISO through IMGBurn at 4x which is the lowest speed my drive will burn.

Am I missing something here? Do I need to install something extra in addition to the softmod? Am I burning the game wrong? Please help me out here as I can't find anything else like this online.
Thank you in advance.

No it should work but how well is your dvd drive laser working?

It works just fine, I just played through the entirety of a real copy of Shenmue 2 on it and have messed around with Splinter Cell and Halo 2 for a bit. It wont even boot these burned games, but like I said above I can rip them and play the rips just fine.

can confirm that thompson drive are picky with burned disc. same disc worked fine on my hitachi but would not work on thompson.

i was using a verbatim dvd+rw so it is possible that the thompson drive doesn't like verbatim disc you could try a different brand.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
