Yes... If the games all fit on one dvd.
You can either use a tool called C-XBox Tool 2, or you could modify your fav Dashboard to do it.

Get Craxtion - as long as the games will fit onto the DVD, you can put up to 3-4 games on a DVD.
If you want to avoid that completely, then you can also do this:
Extract the details of each ISO into it's own folder.
Make a UDF/ISO Data DVD in Nero with the folders for each game
ie
\Crash Bandicoot\
\Wallace and Gromit\
etc..
The disk won't be bootable, but insert it when using Avalaunch as your dashboard and a CD icon will appear in the top right. Select it and you'll be able to choose your game from there.

Easiest way.... Makes it bootable.
Download a dashboard - Erasde all find game/app entries and put it to search "D:\Games" Place the files in D:\Games, and make an ISO out of it... you can modify the menu/ect to make it look nicer. Works really great... I burn ALL my isos this way.

So in essence what you're saying is that you just run a custom dashboard for each disk.
You're saying this is quicker and easier than just using Avalaunch for everything and just copying the game folders to a disk?
Hmm.. Although I like the originality that your solution provides, I can't see how it's easier than mine

was going to try it this way....but will evox do this or do i have to have avalaunch?a friend said:Yes, you can put multiple games one one DVD (assuming size permits you to do so). You must also have a dashboard which supports this (I recommend avalaunch).
Just extract all of the ISOs you want to combine, and place them each into their own folder. Then create an ISO using all of the folders, and burn said ISO. I recommend QWIX for this

Evox will work, but you will need the DVD to be recognised by the Xbox before Evox loads (as it builds a directory structure), plus you may need to add a section to the menu - something like :
Section "Select Game from DVD"
{
AutoAddItem "D:\"
SortAll
}

Well... It all depends, I'm not exactly sure how Avalaunch works, As I use UnleashX. I know if I put the games in unleashX... unless I have unleashX searching D:\Games for games, It'll just show up as folders (I believe?) and then you'd have to go in and select the default.xbe.Martin C said:So in essence what you're saying is that you just run a custom dashboard for each disk.

However... if you customize a Dashboard (I did it with unleashX... I removed every option, Put the games display in root) So when I pop in a disk... despite what dashboard I'm using (Even if it's a fresh Xbox, no dash installed or nothing) A list pops up... picture by each game (Long as the game supports it... 99% do, I believe) With the game name.
It might require a little more effort.... changing it, then creating an XISO out of it... But it makes the games look a little more neater/more compatible without dashboards and stuff...
Just my preference tho. I spose diff people have diff needs - I myself dont ever use DVD's... I installed a 250 GB HD just to get past the load times... I just use this for when I'm at a friends place or something. Works good... I havent really had any coasters or anything... Once it's all setup, it's as easy as copying the extracted ISOS into a folder, re-isoing it... then burning it. All in all... takes about 5-10 mins prep. with a program like C-xbox... I can set it up to do 20 DVD's at a time, n it only takes bout an hour or two max... Then I'm just on my way to burnin the ISOs.
I have a disk that uses evox as a game menu (4 games on 1 disk) it also includes enigmah video mode selector which is quite usefull as the games are in ntsc and i am pal.

Avalaunch just scans the subfolders for the default.xbe, lists it and shows the icon where available.
The best utility I found was Craxtion for all of this, as the front-end is completely customizable including images shown.

yeah, craxtion makes easy work of multiple games per disk, you can also use the independent MenuX files and do it yourself this can save time because craxtion makes an iso, and if you do it yourself you can just drop the files in nero with the UDF/ISO Data DVD and force video compatibility mode (required for xbox tm) options set.
