im gonna make this quick and simple to understand
and just so were clear this method can be considred a ihas burn
ihas is the name of the dvd drive not the firmware on the drive
the name of the firmware is
c4eva's iXtreme Burner MAX Firmware
what were doing is flashing any dvd drive to burn one game at a time once u remove the disc or the drive resets the flash is gone
So What is XGD3? It stands for Xbox Game Disc 3 which started rolling out onto retail Xbox 360 games about a year +ago. Compared to an XGD2, the game partition was increased by 1GB. This was meant to help developers with the increased memory for new games but also to combat piracy. The full iso of an XGD3 game now exceeded the 8.5GB limit on typical DVD DL discs.
This led to the truncate burning method
This involved pretty much burning the game as you would an XGD2. Only difference is that you just write till you ran out of room and then discarded the remaining data.since the last 200mb had no game data only security checks (this was not live safe )
Things you need
- Image file of game (.iso) already properly stealth patched through ABGX (make sure autofix is set to lvl 3)
- DVD+R DL disc (highly recommended to choose verbatims)
- C4E’s BurnerMAX Payload Tool in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter
- Imgburn
- Kprobe2
-a compatible burner for the burnermax program
(any burner can be used if burner max is enabled on it try and find out)
links at end
Why verbatims? Because they are high-grade quality discs (considered the best from tests), and since you’re pushing the discs past what they were intended, you’re going to need them. Better quality burns means less chance of errors and less work for your laser. There is no real reason not to use them. So I’m going to be assuming you are using verbs for this TUT
the burner im using is a lite-on ETAU108
1)Put your blank DVD+R DL disc (should be a verbatim) into the burner and open Imgburn (ensure you have latest version). Now choose “Write image file to disc”
2)Find out which type of verbatim disc you have by looking at the box on the right. Beside MID it will either say mkm001 or mkm003. also check how much the free space is it should be 854.... bytes
after that run the burner max tool as admin (make sure you have a blank dvd dl inserted before you click the burner max button
click burner max button and it should say burner max is enabled
if it doesn't its should say burner max not enabled yet that means your drive is not compatible
so try a different burner (and i cant tell you what burners will work or not you'll have to try them for yourself )
after that the drive is enabled refresh the drive by tools>drive>refresh
the free space should have changed to 8738... bytes
now from here on all the setting are up to each person and the drive they have ill be tell you the setting i use but theses dont ensure a good burn for you (trial and error)
in other words your gonna have to play around with the settings and find what suits your drive
ok so now click the advance setting button
after that change the advance setting to suit your drive
i disable everything
my recommendation is to disable smart burn and online hyper tuning
next go into tools > settings
the enable or disable the items marked 2 and 3 also make sure layer break is set to calculate optimal
next go to i/o page two set buffer to 512
and turn on or off buffer recovery
select the source file make sure you choose the .dvd file
mine in the tut is fifa14complex.dvd
and that's it select the burn speed
if you can go for 2.4x use that if not use 4x
i use 3x because 2.4x isnt supported by my drive and 4x causes makes the burns cause an error
double check the settings
click burn
also make sure to turn off anyback ground processes and make sure you pc screen does not turn of or dim
and don't use the pc while burning it makes a difference
if this pop up appears just click no
Checking Burn Quality
Open up kprobe2. Leave all the default settings alone and only change the speed to 4x(xbox drives reads at 4x). Start the test and do what you did with Imgburn by closing all applications and not starting any new ones while the test is being done.
A good quality burn is one where PI max is less than 100 and PI avg is less than 5. PIF max less than 4 and PIF avg less than .20 (remember this is just a guideline, it is up to you to make the call if you think it is a good enough burn.)
also each burn depends on the game ... the pi max and pif max where considerable different
for gta v and fifa 14
this is a fifa 14 k probe result
also note that i set the read speed to max instead of 4x cause its faster
Tips and Tricks for ensuring good burns
- Make sure the iso is on your local hdd and not on some portable device.
- Reduce as many applications running on your comp. (you can use tsk mng to help with this)
- defrag hdd
- using a sata connection
- dont let your computer go to sleep/screensaver while waiting for burn
Tips and Tricks when getting poor burns
- try different media
- Try burning mkm003 at x2.4 or mkm001 at x4
- turning on or off OPC
- clearing OPC cache
- Play around enabling and disabling force/online hypertuning, OverSpeed, and SmartBurn in imgburn and/or EEPROM utility < ive never used this so i cant help you with it
- Changing buffer size, en/disabling buffer recovery.
if you have any problems post a reply on this and ill try helping you out dont forget to include the settings for the advance settings
