How To Rip And Convert Xbox 360 Games To ISO/GoD/XEX

[@GamerSmacks]

Man, I started dumping my own games with an disc image copier for the older generations not too long ago. Now I'm trying to do this and on the first watch my brain was frying a little, then I realize it was just "install game on USB, Copy game from USB to PC". Also, you and UrCasualGamer really make this stuff easy to figure out, thanks for the good work!

[@Reesetrain44]

and here i was trying to just get xenia to play it from the disk drive of my PC well at least it cleared a lot up and you have excellent tutorial and guiding skills

[@sneakysquid7114]

NOTE: Make sure your 360 has the latest system updates! Mine wasn't connected to the internet for years, and I didn't have the option to install games to a standard FAT32 formatted USB drive. The console made me format the drive as Xbox 360 Memory first, but the files look totally different on PC than what this video shows. If you don't see the option to "format" like in 1:46 of this video, try connecting your console to the internet and updating the system.

Merging the two discs of Watchdogs into a single GOD package seemed more elegant than installing and exporting game files to an USB. An external media needed to be inserted for playing is very similar to the original case most of us are trying to avoid in the first place - using discs.

[@jared4670]

Watched this tut a few times and can't figure it out. How do I go about merging discs? Ideally I would want to merge the content, make it an ISO in order to have it detected in Playnite and launched with Xenia

Awesome video man. I’ll be purchasing a RGH2 360 soon. I want to ensure there will be a way I can extract the game files from my legit, already purchased digital game (NCAA Football 14). I want to use the QuickBMS app to mod the “.ast” files within the game. Would I just need to convert the GoD file to ISO and that would give me access to the “.ast” files I am looking for?

[@AphelionGamingTV]

There is, but it'd likely be cheaper and easier to get a new power cable or console. Only a few obscure DVD drives will work and I believe you'd still need to flash the drive's firmware to do it.

if i partition my drive can i just put it on that partition?

[@AphelionGamingTV]

Yes, but I suggest running in portable mode if that's the case - otherwise your content directory (and the new shaders directory) will still go into your documents on your C drive. A recent update also fixed the "content root" setting in the config file, so you can also use this to set a directory for your content and shaders to be dumped into.

[@AphelionGamingTV]

If you can see the files on your USB drive, but they are all 0kb in size, then it sounds like there was a problem copying the data onto that USB drive. You may be able to solve it by using a different USB drive - I've never experienced this issue with an Xbox 360, but other consoles like the PS3 can be picky about the drive and port you use.

[@crashgorillayt8177]

Do I need a modded console to run those games.....cause it says corrupted..??

You can rip games using a normal console, but you will need a modded console to play them without the discs. Or you can use the xbox 360 emulator Xenia to play the games on PC, if they are compatible with it.

[@joecowan8251]

Could you do this with an xbox one instead of using a 360?
