Hey folks,
Did a search, no Xbox threads, just computer and Wii threads, so started a new one!
I've got a lifelong friend who's financially strapped....s/p kidney transplant, neck/back surgeries, permanent disability....limited SSI income, etc.!!!
I've got an original Xbox machine and about 15 games. I recently acquired an Xbox 360 from my B-I-L when his machine died, and swmbo got him a new one for his Bday. The old 360 had been built with that pathetic leadless solder that melts at much lower temps than regular solder...and with the poor design of the xbox 360, just using the thing causes it to reach temps that MELT the solder and the machine dies! I was able to actually resurrect it by resweating/flowing the joints on the motherboard with a heat gun, taking the thing apart, installing a modified heatsink assembly, and I've since added a TurboCooler fan to the box. I've played it for several hours and it seems to be working flawlessly now.
So....I'm looking to give my old system to my friend, but many/most of the games I haven't finished or even played them YET! I'm looking for a program that will allow me to make 1(one) archive/backup copy that I can keep and use on my 360, and send the original games with the machine to my friend. I've gotten the compatibility update from Xbox that allows the 360 to be able to play most of the old OEM xbox games/titles.
So...does anyone have any experience and SUCCESS with any program that would allow a backup copy of the game disc for the OLDER original xbox games? I don't condone piracy, but these OEM xbox titles are essentially abandonware now.
I've loaded them into my computer but all it sees in the intro MOVIE in DVD video format, it can't see the actual files and such...a different file format structure I'm sure. I've done a search on the NET, found several that were in a TopTen review, but was hoping for someone with 1st hand experience or knowledge on this. I'm not looking or wanting to MOD my 360 machine at all, so just want a program that can make an exact copy of the disc/file structure!
TIA!?
