today I got and tried to back up brute force only to discover it was 5.11 gigs worth of space. (of course too much to back up onto a normal dvd-r) The reason why is the amount of demos that come packed in the game. (I think Microsoft did that on purpose in order to prevent back-up.)
Interestingly enough though I came up with an interesting solution for everybody. So here it is: a simple tutorial for the noobs on how to back up brute force! I hoping this will keep 2 million posts about how to back-up brute force off the board. Also if any of my guide is against the rules of the board please take it down immediately and notify me of my error. My intentions are good so I'm hoping this helps.
1) rip the game into your hard drive.
2) patch the xbe file with your patcher if needed
3) Open the folder where you have brute force stored. Click on Fx folder (this is the tao fang demo) and click to enter it. From there delete all the files inside.
4) Back out and go to the Mech folder. Click on it to go inside and delete all the files from here as well.
5) Return to the main folder again and click on videos this time around (ya got the right folder if it has amped2 files and other various games) and delete them.
6) back out and check the total space of the game without these files. It should read 4.37 gigs! Perfect for a DVD-R!
There ya go. On a side note I left the empty folders on the burn and I would recommend others to as well. The menu for the demos is still there but the files are gone so the xbox won't know anything missing unless you try to play the demos.
