I'm going to purchase a mod chip.
My oem drive is scratching all my games and i wanna just start burning them to the Hdd.
my question is: does xecuter3 support a non oem dvd drive and if i go online live with my non stock new dvd will i get banned?

You can use a modded DVD drive in replacement to your Xbox OEM drive, but there's usually a lot of work to be done.

Check the tutorials on Xbox-Scene.com. Some can be modded to play originals, whereas others will only play backups/homebrew.

Finally, Xbox Live won't check your DVD drive (AFAIK!).

I own halo2 but i don't want to buy another dvd drive.. so i i loaded halo2 to my harddrive, and had my mod chip in, could i go online?

That way i could just burn the games to my hdd and not have to deal with playing original games from the drive.. right?

You cannot use Xbox Live with a modded BIOS - therefore, you would still need to run it with the chip off... which means you'll need a working DVD drive.

Can anyone tell me this? I am planning on purchasing the X3 mod and I have read that I can use the xbox dvd rom drive to play the game disks and back them up on my computer cdr drive.

Here is my question. Can you also do this process and back up DVD movies.

I have been unable to find an answer to this question thus far.

THanks,

Yes, you can back up your Xbox games / DVD movies via the Xbox.

There are guides on this on Xbox-Scene.com if you need help.

Yea, there's a nifty app called dvd2xbox which will rip all your games/dvds.
