Hello, I came with a couple of questions about recording LT 3.0 games. I have not recorded discs for my 360 for a long time and I bought a few Verbatim so I wanted to record several but they come in XGD3, I would like someone with experience to answer me.

Is Abgx360 necessary to run xgd3 in lt3.0? Nowadays I have seen that abgx does not work well, I think its servers are closed and I cannot find information on whether it still works or not in 2023, is its use mandatory for LT3.0? And if it is, can someone explain to me how to install abgx currently and have it work for me?

Another question is that there are "XGD3" games that do not weigh more than 8.5GB, you know, games that weigh 8.7 must be recorded in a special way, I thought that all XGD3 weighed that, but I have several games that do not exceed Does 8.5 mean that they can be recorded at 100% without the need for a special recorder and without truncate?

Thanks for your answers in advance

Where do you find 8.5G XGD3 ISOs? I suspect those are simply bad dumps that won't work properly.
Yes these are likely bad dumps that have no been burned currently with burnermax (truncated) ABGX does work however you need to point it to a new server which I do believe is still alive. If not you can simply host it offline and it will find the stealth files when patching

When I downloaded them it told me 8.13GB, but when I recorded them it did say 8.7 so I don't understand anything :P, I already recorded a game in truncate and without problems since I didn't want to risk discs trying to record at 100% and having it fail

but I have a question, do you know if Bioshock Infinite GOTY Disc2 (the disc with the DLC) works in truncate?

Right but not having it burned to 100% may have just flagged your console for a ban as it isnt a verified burn.

You find out. I don’t have the devices to test, nor am I willing to risk failing checks and flagged for banning.

Have you tried the rebooted ABGX360 that went online 1.5 years ago from Hadzz? Its still work as it should and new stuff as of 10/13/2023 has been added and verified. I don't know if I am allowed to link so just search "hadzz abgx" i google and you can grab ver 1.07

    That's what kind of bothers me. People asking the same question from decades ago. It's like a cycle going round and round. If they can't be arsed to search something so simple and easy to identify, then I can't think for words.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the problem is, it is a regular chat channel, discord had forum channels for quite a while now, but the server doesn't have any
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I literally joined expecting to find something specific because their troubleshooting and faq pages are lacking a lot of information
    +1
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    but since they don't have forums it is kinda hard, a lot of messages are either outdated or related to other conversations
    +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oof. That's not looking good. Would be good if they at least put some FAQ & troubleshooting pages up; rather than ask somebody who clearly knows very little about the subject.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Outdated stuff that involves hardware modifications is always a bad idea.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I literally only have 500 mb left on my ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, I was specifically looking for more information about the wifi firmware while running ubuntu, their faq is extremely vague on that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @kijetesantakalu042 delete your hentai folder
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @NinStar I store that on google drive. Not my hard drive
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I once had a shared folder on google drive, one of the collaborators was putting porn on it with the file names and extensions all changed to avoid suspicion
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    took me a while to realize
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I have it on a shared folder so the other person will be blamed if someone finds out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Just don't store it on Google Drive, ok? Put it in your MEGA folder.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I don't use meganx
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, I use MEGA, has a lot more storage compared to what Google offers.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Honestly I just want a bigger ssd or extra hard drive
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Have something larger like a 1TB SSD, it's about enough for mostly everything you need.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I just have a 512 gb and I'm saving for my computer build when I finally have more space so I can't really invest in a ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I only really use my ssd for things I'm constantly accessing on my computer
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    everything else goes to my hdd
