Angry 3.5 Gig

Hi

Can anyone tell me why games show up to be around 3 to 4 gig’s in size, I’ve installed my X-ecuter chip, installed EvolutionX, backed up Quantum Redshift to my PC HD then back to the Xbox HD and all works fine, I’ve made a ISO file but when I try and burn it to a CD RW it keep saying file to big around 3.5 Gig’s is this true or am I missing something? HELP …..

K

Xbox games are usually around that size, basically once you have made the ISO burn it back to DVD-R via PrimoDVD for best results. However, that's if you have a DVD writer to begin with. Also you could try and Rip the games so that they fit onto a CDR-W but that's a whole new ball game, and very time consuming

Look at the ISO size. It is not much bigger than the game itself. Or you can just highlight the folder wiht your game data in it, and look at the properties. It will give you the size of the game.

And like HONS said, only ripped games fit on a cd-rw. But the loading time is 4X longer and you miss out on sounds, and movie files.
