xbox file burning. never done one before!

[mooncat]

ive got a lovely little file which ive unrar to a default xbe file and a data folder.

now ive looked around and i dont quite know what to do. others ive had were straight iso and burned with nero

could someone point me in the correct direction. cheers:director:

put the contents of the rar file in a folder (doesn't matter about the name- just remember where it is)

get the program qwix from here (http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/index.html), theres some screenshots and a brief how to ont here as well i think.

start qwix, and choose the "create iso" option.

choose the local folder option and use the browser to point qwix to the folder containing the contents of the rar files.

then check the "Automatically cross link identical files" box and then hit the create iso button.

once thats done burn the resulting iso with your favourtie burning app

if you don't know how to burn iso's then read through this link (http://xbox-scene.com/articles/iso-backup-guide.php)

you could also just use stomp, select burn data option, then add the file and folder.

[How-Long]

Put all of your .xbe and data file into one folder

download SimpleXISO: http://dwl.xbox-scene.net/~xbox/xbox-scene/tools/isotools/SimpleXISOv03.zip

open it and choose "Make an ISO"
locate the folder that have all your xbox file (.xbe etc.)
save it with any name

Open nero burning rom
choose File on top left conner
then choose open
hit the drop down file types box and choose "All Files" or "Image Files"
now, locate your .iso file that was built with SimpleXISO awhile ago
choose "finalize disc" and burn :)

"you could also just use stomp, select burn data option, then add the file and folder."

Doesn't it need those files in xbox format?

[nimbles]

While it is possible to burn it in udf format (data option in stomp defaults to udf- it won't work if you burn it in iso9660 format), every xbox drive i've tried udf burns on really struggle with loading them- but they doload in the end- with the odd dirty disc error.

personally i do the xiso method- bit of a pain and i always have to have the spare 4-5gb free to create the iso from the files (when making a multi) but its definitely worth it in my opinion

one advantage of it is that your pc will be able to read the contents of the disc.
