Hey guys, it's me again with another noob question. Now I have done plenty of research and have tried and tested myself as well. It's been a failure so I thought I would just ask all my questions in one post. I have an original classic xbox. I have it Softmodded with unleashX (on startup it shows the xbox symbol and then goes to unleashX) I am using Sony DVD-R dvds. I am also using imgburn. I have a back up ISO of an xbox game. WWE Raw 2 to be exact. I have tried several burns, 1 at 2.4x, 1 at 8x (which I understand is recommended) and one at 4x. They burn successfully but when I put them in my xbox, it won't let me click on Launch DVD. Like it doesn't even acknowledge that I am trying to click on it. My xbox plays store bought dvd's perfect. I have read that you have to have a modchip to play burned games on the xbox but I have also read that it just has to be softmodded. I'm completely confused and now am asking for help. I would just ftp my games over but I don't have a very big hard drive. Thank you so much in advance for your replies and any other info you may need I will be more than happy to provide. Thank you again.

you can play copies without a chip with just softmod, id suspect a weak laser.

originals play on a weak laser as they are mirror finish, you will see copied discs failing long before originals fail.
