dvd2xbox 06.6

I've got a question about dvd2xbox. When you copy an Xbox game to the HDD, it always creates a new .XBE file, and it renames the old one to "original.xbe". What exactly is the difference between the two?

I looked through the readme file and I searched around a bit but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

The new default.xbe has been patched so you can play the game from the HDD (but the game still thinks it's being played from the DVD-ROM). It's to circumvent a media check that a lot of Xbox games have to try to stop them being played from modded Xbox HDDs.

LOL... i remember when i tried to copy Fight Club with an older version of dvd2xbox, it would let me create a guy, but only play arcade. The funny thing was that in arcade, the opponent was pretty much invinsible and it only took 1 or 2 shots to get knocked out. Then i updated dvd2xbox, and it works fine now.

hmmm this is interesting as i have only ever used boXplorer to transfer the files across from d: to f:

However i have never come across a problem with any game i have played. Apart from the aforementioned fight club are there any other known games which have this protection built in, especially some of the newer stuff?

cheers

There's plenty of titles - I've already posted in a thread similar to this one.

Search my posts for "magna cum laude" and you should find it.
