| 161210 | 2003-07-19 11:17:00 | I just bought a new copy of "Enter the Matrix" - it wasn't exactly cheap, and I don't trust Microsoft not to wreck it inadvertently. I tried to use my trusty Clone CD program to make a back up, but it doesn't recognize the disc as anything it can read. Do I need a DVD reader/writer? I'm running ME on a Celeron 466 and my CD RW is an Acer 12x8x32. Any help will be much appreciated. Joe Davies |

You need to install a mod chip on your X-Box in order to play backed up games... and yes, you need a dvd writer... Lo. |

| 161214 | 2003-07-19 12:08:00 | You dont actually need it modded, it is possible to do it without it. Firstly, you need make an ISO of the CD on the actual X-Box itself... You then transfer it over your network to your PC with a DVD burner :-) That should put you on the right track, Im not too sure how much I should say before I get a "telling off" by somebody here ;-) I know your reasons though, and they're same as mine would be! Ive just lost Halo due to a younger sibbling finding the CD.. If only I had a backup... :-( |

| 161215 | 2003-07-19 13:13:00 | There was a time not so long ago when the Licence agreement contained a clause that allowed you to make ONE copy for Backup purposes only. But that seems to have disappeared these days. | Odin (227) | ||
| 161216 | 2003-07-19 15:35:00 | You can't copy the XBox game unless you have a dvd-rom in your pc (which you don't?). Cd-rw will not read dvds. Enter the Matrix is a SecuROM 4.8 copy protected dvd. Or at least the computer version of the game is. Not sure if Xbox games use encryption like dvd movies? To copy this protection you will need to get CloneDVD and maybe twinpeak patch it. Thats practically as close to 1:1 copy u'll get |

| 161217 | 2003-07-19 16:01:00 | No, you can't copy an X-Box game without a dvd writer, and also a networked X-Box. You need to "ftp" the contents from the X-Box hard drive to your PC hard-drive, after which you will need to re-pack the contents as an X-Box iso... the reason you can't put the X-Box game into a standard DVD-Rom is because it is written in such a way that it cannot be read by a PC DVD-Rom. After you have re-packed the files into an iso image, you can burn using any iso writing program. Lo. |

| 161218 | 2003-07-19 23:18:00 | The best thing to do is to check out the tutorials section @ www.xbox-scene.com. This covers all your xbox modification / copying needs. Alternatively, jump on IRC on EFNET and join #xbins-help. Ash |
