patching games

i know this must have come up in the past but i need some help from a pro.
Recently i got my box modded with a Chameleon chip and EvoX, i burned a copy of DOA3 thanks to these formums but i am having difficulty burning Amped 2. when i put it into my drive it looks line, reboots, then shows the Xbox sign like any other game, yet it then returns to the EvoX dash. Is there a tool such as ISO Craxion wich i have heard of that will make the game boot? if thats the tool then how the hell do i use it (like when do i use it, on the ripped files or the iso i made from the ripped files).
thanks for all your help

As far as I know, you use Craxion to MAKE the iso files. Read around the forums and I think you'll find some one that can explain how to burn the iso files so that the Xbox can read it.
Also, did you check and make sure that you have the latest version of EvoX as well as your Modchips BIOS?

i dont know how to find the BIOS for my Chameleon, nor do i know how to install them once i have them... keep in mind, iv barely made one backup....
but since the first post i used Craxtion and got the game going, but now im faced with a 'Theres a problem with the disc youre using. It may be dirty or damaged Press A to continue' the background looks like the game background so i think the game worked fine, but when i press A it trys to load the game again, failing i might add.
Thanks for the help though

thid is because you need the "crack" for the game (its a ppf3.0 file) which you apply with the program ppf-o-matic to the iso file before you transfer it to your xbox.

I´m looking for the file myself so don´t really know where to get it

other than the crack file you are doing all the right things

I believe he is loading from the disk, not trying to play off the HDD.

Many people seem to have backed up this game without a problem. Use craxtion to make the iso file and burn it to the disk. Craxtion patches for media checks, which would bounce the game back to the dash. Also, disable IGR in the evox settings, and make sure your time in the xbox is set correctly. Those are another common problem starters.
