Ok so now that i worked up the testicles to re flash my system I'm seeing all this xgb3 and ihas and max burner stuff and now it has me UBER-PUZZLED! I told myself that lan parties can wait but when I heard about saints row 3 coming out I'm going to have to buy it,but of course when I do I want to make a back up for it atleast I think.So now for my question,I was wondering if I flashed my system to 2.1 is there anything new I must know before I go about burning backups and flashing it in general?I tryed searching but since I haven't been in the gaming world for about 2 or 3 months now everything is starting to seem so overwhelming at the moment so if someone can tell me it would be greatly apprieciated.

ok - latest disc format has moved on from XGD2 to XGD3 - this is a larger format - it can be written on DL discs, but it has to be burned using a Lite-on iHAS burner flashed with the burner max firmware, and it must be burned on Verbatim MKM-001 or MKM-003 discs - oreferably MKM-003 Singapore printable DL DVD's as these are the best for this burn

Ok I got verbatims but how can I find out the code of mines like MKM-001 and such?

Ok thanks for that and seeing as I have flashed my system before I don't need to buy nothing new now do I?Also since my older backups are obviously not xgd3 I don't have to reburn them once/if I upgrade to 2.01 firmware right?

No you won't need nothing new. As for the backups having to be burned using a Ihas is not entirely true I have been using the old method and have had no fails yet so have no reason to buy a new drive

Yeah so what's this Ihas thing about and can I still burn on my stock computer drive using imgburn or is there a newer/better way for non-Ihas users?

With a stock drive you have to truncate and over burn or summat along them lines I just do it off instinct now but just look for a guide I don't personaly see point spending money to save me a few extra clicks

I read that the latest imgburn ask you the truncate option is that true if so then can't I just click that?

Oh and do you think this is a good tut?

I don't rip my games yet never learned(probably never will)I just download my backups if their broke or if I cherised it enough like I'm probably gonna like saints rows.I might buy a Ihas but I honestly know very little about the burner I searched it up but I'm not sure if it's the right one.I'm still a little weary seeing as abgx is useless at the moment I don't wanna play no un-verified game and a truncated version at that lol
