Dude it has nothing to do with your lens, you can play games but cant install them...

Guys I need to know about the activation disc used to play wave 4 games. What is it?

 

[sheeraz]

While I dont have personal experience with the drives of X360 specifically ... a Philips lite-on drive is something I would trust a lott more than any other. Brand image and quality expectation really.

A question from my side

Exactly which sides of the console heats up ? Right now there is only a considerable warmth (not hot to be honest) under the console (I keep it horizontally on "stilts" making it 2-3 inches higher than the surface, so air passes underneath quiet well). Sides and back all have cool air coming out of them. Top is normal too.

If this warmth is to be kept under control, I can put a fan underneath it which would direct air directly on the bottom area of the GPU/CPU. Useful or should I not be bothered about it ?

@adilthegreat

The activation disk is something that you run once everytime you start to play any Wave4 game on drives with the i-xtreme 1.6 firware. IX 1.61 removes the need for the disk and plays Wave4, but that firmware is not available for the Lite-On drives ... so you need the disk if you want to play any of the latest games like AC2, MW2 etc

That is probably the best possible position to keep a 360, And don't worry about the heat at the bottom, most of the components are at the bottom so naturally it heats up quickly, The fan will probably be inefficient in that position but no harm in trying

And just make sure you leave space at the sides and the back of the console for ventilation.

Umm. What about the link I posted in your profile?

Can't be explained any simpler. Just remember to use a DVD-DL-R, remember to only use one layer and not use layer breaker.

If this warmth is to be kept under control, I can put a fan underneath it which would direct air directly on the bottom area of the GPU/CPU. Useful or should I not be bothered about it ?

Since there are no ventilation holes in the inner bottom side of the 360, no use putting a fan underneath. Nowadays since its pretty cool, there isn't a too great danger of over heating. March to September is the danger period. But since you have a Falcon I would advise you to curtail your playing spells.

You need a dual layer dvd, all you do is a burn a file called activator.iso (Search link from google) or simply get one from xboyhot...

To fix this you need to download the update from xbox.com burn it to a cd or put in on a usb update your xbox through that... and then play the game it will work fine...
