XBMC HELP PLEASE?

[Bobble_Boo]

I've been trying to get my original Xbox working again. I installed EvoX and my dashboard is XBMC.
I read that after softmodding it then you can play Xbox games that have been burned onto a DVD-R, so I tried burning Conker: Live and Reloaded onto a DVD-R disc and put it in the console. But instead of auto-playing the disc like with all the movies and music CDs I've tried, it has a yellow play button in the bottom right of the screen. When I click it, it makes the confirmation noise but doesn't load anything. When I try open it from the XBMC file manager, it says 'path not found or invalid'. How do I get it to play burned games?

Hello.

Is your source material an ISO image or an File/Folder structured one (like Qwix uses) ?
Thank you.

I went on my laptop to check and it says it's a disc image file. Got any links to a Conker Live and Reloaded ISO?

 

[Alexander1970]

Maybe your ISO is an Jtag/RGH format for the XBox 360 ?

 

[Bobble_Boo]

Maybe. Do you have any links to a Conker Live and Reloaded ISO for the Xbox? I did look everywhere but I can't find anything now that isozone got taken down.

Sorry my friend.Links/Naming Sites etc. to Roms/Isos are not allowed on GBAtemp (for good reasons). :-)

 

[Bobble_Boo]

Aww, okay then. So, just to confirm: I find an ISO file for the game, burn it onto my DVD-R, and it should play the disc?

 

[Alexander1970]

Yes that should work if your XBox is softmodded.The only "uncertainty factor" is your XBox DVD Drive.It may reads DVD-R.Do you know what type it is ? Thomson/Samsung/Philips/Hitachi ?

Thank you.

 

[Bobble_Boo]

Sorry, I don't know what type the drive is.

So does that mean if it doesn't work after I burn the ISO then I can't play the disc unless I buy a new DVD Drive?

 

[Bobble_Boo]

It's a Philips drive, I think.

 

[Alexander1970]

Philips is ok on DVD-R (not on DVD+R in most cases).
Do you have an original Xbox game to try that your Drive is still ok ?

Which brand of DVD-R you use and on what speed you have burned them ?

 

[Bobble_Boo]

I've not got any Xbox games anymore. The console is a release one from years ago, and I've lost or sold all the games since. I've tried a few movies and they all work, so it does read stuff really well.

 

[Alexander1970]

Ok,sounds good.
Which brand of DVD-R you use and on what speed you have burned them please ?

 

[Bobble_Boo]

I've not burned anything yet. Sorry for being such a noob by asking this but what would an ISO file look like? I'm finding a lot of .7z files and .rar files, but they dont seem to be what I'm looking for.

 

[Alexander1970]

If you unpack it there is in most of the cases the ISO (it s splitted in numerous .rar/.7z files of better/quicker upload them) inside.Otherwise like i said above an File structured content for use to get Games on the XBox HDD over an FTP Program.You have to look for ISO not for HDD ready games.

Good Luck my friend :-)

 

[Bobble_Boo]

It didn't work
How can I put games on the HDD? It'd be much simpler to do that.

Here is a detailed guide how to do this with the Tool QWIX.
