Now it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how unsafe and unreliable the truncate method is. The reason why this method would work is because the discarded data (around 200MB) did not contain any of the game data and was only just random padding and security checks. Only difference is that you just write till you ran out of room and then discarded the remaining data. This involved pretty much burning the game as you would an XGD2. The full iso of an XGD3 game now exceeded the 8.5GB limit on typical DVD DL discs.
This was meant to help developers with the increased memory for new games but also to combat piracy. Compared to an XGD2, the game partition was increased by 1GB. What is XGD3? It stands for Xbox Game Disc 3 which started rolling out onto retail Xbox 360 games about a year +ago. (but remember, nothing is 100% safe or risk free when using a flashed console on Live!)īefore I actually show you the steps on what to do, I believe having an understanding of what you are doing is important. This is the safest and most secure method for playing backups/pirated games on your flashed console for Xbox Live. Hello, I will be showing you how to make successful quality burns with an ihas b burner for XGD3 games.
