DATA vs ISO
 

I forgot and can't find the post..... If I patch the Default.xbe and then use the data burn method.....That will still work right.....The biggest thing is the patch Correct

Also......So many questions...hehe...

How about burning over the network? I have setup a 360 gb computer and I am sharing a drive over the network....I know I can burn from one computer to another...But should I ???
Just because I can..........Doesn't mean I should!!!! Or perhaps there is no problem...I noticed Nero said My cache was too small....Frankly....I think that was a little personal....How do they know...and I thought size didn't mater... ;-)

Thanx

Eric

hehe
ur a funny guy
yea
u can backup a backup, no problem
same files
so no difference really
the easier part of the backupin up a backup is that u can just put it in ur pc and copy it
dude's data burn is incredible
so i recommend usin that
i despise isos
so tahts my standpoint
remember, we dont support pirating here
in fact, we do quite the opposite 8)

i don't suggest burning on one computer, from another.

and to me, data is prefered because there is less work. In the end though, it doesn't really matter.

and if you do a data burn, make sure it is closed. Loading will be faster.

yea
ISOs are garbage
dudes burn is the way to go

Yeah.....I tried it last night and it worked great...except for the swat game.....I am at a loss......At least the data burn will save space......Now I don't have to burn the iso and make another 4 gigs free..thanx all

I personally like ISOs they load faster than Data Burns and whats another few minutes if its gonna load faster. I always go for the fastest and best built game image when I make them.


At least I give some sort of reason why I like ISOs rather than the regular Data Burn groupies that just say "ISOs are crap".





Tyler!

What ISO maker do you prefer Tyler?

Well I used to use SimpleXiso because it uses very little PC strain and I can multitask without slowing it down. But I am currently testing out Craxation and I do have to say Ive been liking it too.




Tyler!

if u really wanna use isos
i suggest xiso
i dunno if it burns
but u can pack and unpack things with it

DO NOT USE XISO. VERY GLITCHY AND 80% THE TIME YOU WILL GET A CORRUPTED ISO!!!!

are u serious?
well
i guess i wont use it anymore 8)
i just use it to pack and unpack files just to see if it does anything
and its really weird
but ah well
i disliek isos anyway

Yeah Ive never heard anything good about Xiso.

hi guys

DATA or ISO's..

there is a good way of testing this..! Only if u are able to install a game on your X-BOX's HDD from the X-BOX's ROM drive.

firstly burn a ISO image of that game onto a DVD-R , then a data file of the same game onto another DVD-R.

now install the ISO version onto the X-box's HDD via the DVD Rom drive.
calculate how long it takes and how smoothly it saves the game.

next install the DATA version using same method.

u will see that a DATA version takes nuch longer , and that the DVD Rom drive is doing overtime with lots of clicks.

the ISO version takes less time , and smoother , with the DVD Rom drive hardly making any noise.

now i would'nt want my X-BOX's DVD rom drive tp pack up so easily , would u ?

with DATA burns ,the DVD rom drive is working a lot harder...!!!

(all X-BOX sites say XISO is very glitchy)

i've personally never used it myself, but if 10/10 peeps say its not good, i stayed away from it.

yea it was kinda crappy
but thats like the only one i saw
so i just got it
its all a matter of personal choice i suppose
i still prefer to have it run off the hdd
amazinly fast speed
i love it
everythings very very smooth
