    Once I put a mod chip in my Xbox, and I have a copied game, can I just put it in and have it work? Or do I need EvoultionX?

    Also, does xbox read DVD+RWs?

    it should just play.

    evolution x is more if your swapping the hd of the xbo with a larger pc hd and also if you want to make backups of your games and play games from the xbox harddrive..

    I have burned a backup onto a DVD+R and DVD+RW and neither works. The DVD+R gives me this error:
    "Your Xbox cannot recogonize this disc. Make sure its a XBox game, DVD movie, or audio CD. Also check to see if the disc is dirty or damaged.
    The DVD+RW says:
    "Invalid media type. Make sure its a XBox game, DVD movie, or audio CD."

    Anyone know what I can do.

    Mkae sure you make an iso image of the game first then burn it. I had problems with xISO and have since been using isomaker and have not had any problems with that.

    I used Iso Maker. It also didn't work.

    Maybe my mod chip isn't installed correctly. What can I do to test it?

    ok.......

    now i am no expert or anything, but....

    check that your chip is connected properly.

    em, after that i am not sure, it could be that you are burning the imagre file wrong, or that your chep is broken , or loads of other things.

    All i can say is to read all the tutorials and ask as many questions on all the Forums that you can.


    this is probably just some small problem.

    Sorry i am not more help to ya!!

    Progress......

    I GOT A BACKUP TO WORK!

    However, now I tried to burn another backup and that didn't work. NHL2K3 worked, and Tao Feng didn't. I also got a burned DVD backup to work. NHL2K3 worked from a DVD+RW, and not from a DVD+R. The DVD worked on a DVD+R. I burned Tao Feng on the same DVD+RW, and it didn't work. I burned it the exact same way. Anyone know of a reason it might do this?

    Tao Feng is over 4.7 gigs so you can't copy it to a dvd it must go to the HD.. Also you need to patch newer games with the copyhaunters patcher for them to work.

    I tried to burn NHL2k3 again and play it, but that didn't work either. I used a totally new DVD+RW, and burned it the exact same way.

    I noticed that the matrix mod chip's LED sometimes turned red before, maybe when I took a normal game out? It hasn't done that since NHL wokred the first time. The only time it turns red is when you turn the xbox off, it flashes red for a hlaf second, then turns off. Also, when I press the eject button, the xbox doesn't go back to the dashboard, it stays in the game. Is it sopposed to do this? My mod chip is in mode 3: Swap mode. Here is what the matrix installation guide says about mode 3:
    I tried changing the mode to 2, and then back to 3, and that didn't change anything. Anyone have an idea?
