XBOX Game backup

[LoneTango]

Anyone knows how I can make a copy of my Original XBOX games just in case my friends scratch my Original? What software do I need and how do I use it, thank you very much

LoneTango,
Even if you knew how to backup X-Box discs you still can't play them without a mod.... (Now where on earth would you get one??)

What software and how do I backup my original Xbox games

Here is all I know...

There is a group that goes by the name of ProjectX and have hacked about 50 games already.

Here is what they said about the Shrek Game back in April:

We tested this game on a developer XBOX, and it works. Since there is
no mod chip yet, we have no idea if this release will work on retail
XBOXes when/if a mod comes out. However, now that there is a release,
a modchip developer will be inclined to get our releases to work, so
we think a future mod will work with this release.
If a game is small enough to be burned to a CD, you can burn it to
either a CD or DVD, at your option, using the same ISO file.
The Xbox does not use media checks like the PS2.
When burning to a CD, if your CD burning program has an option,
choose "MODE1/2048", exactly as if you were burning a PC CD-ROM.
We recommend PrimoDVD for burning Xbox for both CD and DVD, but
all CD writing software besides Clone CD should work fine.
From our experience, the retail Xbox can only read DVD-RW's
and CD-RW's, so if you want to be sure that these will work
with a future mod, we recommend burning them to Rewritable
discs. We have heard reports of the retail Xbox reading some
types of DVD-R discs, but we have been unable to verify this

dmonty, is that sayin that it wlll work w/o a modchip..... or am i misunderstanding?????

[dmonty]

Based on what I know right now (from newgroups, forums, and other communities) You can copy these games with any software that supports "MODE1/2048". AND a mod chip will be required as the X-Box does perform media checks. You guess is as good as mine if this is true or just a pile of crap.

A modchip is required and so far the only way to rip a game is by using a Dev XBOX and the Xbox SDK. I have heard rumors that some Hitachi or Toshiba DVD drives can read the games but it's not been verified.
