My friend recently purchased GTA San Andreas on the Xbox in the UK, and it will not copy! He has an X3 and it works etc but wont copy THIS SPECIFIC GAME, he has several games already on it and plenty of room on his hdd. My theory is that Microsoft are in fact testing a RIP PROOF SOFTWARE package they install on all their games. I believe that this release of GTA SA was in fact a test of this software and that they will plan to install it on every XBOX 360 game.
Rip proof games!

I have a copy of GTA San Andreas and copied it just fine, just had to delete the savegame on the first boot.
more than likeley not (defintely not) RIP proof game. More thank likely a dodgy rip downloaded from somewhere, or the fact that you are tyring to run the american version on a PAL box without patching it correctly.
if you have the oringial(lol) i would take it back to the shop as my copy works perfectly.

The UK version was available for download from Friday. Copying games is simply transferring files from one place to another.Undieing_Mole said:
I BOUGHT the game on Friday and copied it to my HDD same day with NO problems.
The only time you'll have a problem with this game is if it's from another country - read the link in my sig.
As I said, don't go posting here again regarding this.

And all this time, I thought that I was actually getting "church time" in on Sundays by coming here and reading Martin C's posts...
it might be a good copy....also depends on what dash you are using.....evox seems to have a prob loading SA ...switch to something better ...avalaunch..unleashx....they copy it just fine
I had problems copying San Andreas too. It was an original brand new PAL version. It would load perfectly with the chip off. But with the chip enabled it would take forever to load, eventually saying "unknown" even in all of my apps and dashboards so It is posible to have problems copying this game. I tried two samsung dvd-rom drives and my thomson, still wouldn't recognise with the chip on.
Here's what I did: I had to use my scorpion xbox (2nd of my 3 xbox's): chipped it temprarily with X2.3B Lite, made a bootdisc of boxplorer and evo-x, launched boxplorer from the disc, put in GTA.S.A, and after about 10 tries it would let me back it up. Then launched ev0-x and ftp'd GTA:S.A to my laptop, then to my other XBOX. And deleted the stuff on the scorpion xbox and removed the chip.
And yes it is downloadable since the UK release date because I saw that there were several GTA:S.A iso's on kazaa.

Talking about copy proof games, i was trying to back up a copy of V8 Supercars a while back. The strange thing was, I put it into the xbox drive, FTP'd into the box and had a look on the D drive. There was about 10 files totalling around 20mb or something. I selected everything and copied to PC, and sure enough only the 20mb was sent... i didn't even bother to burn it to DVD to see if worked.
Anyone seen that?

Hm..I got one off the interet and it was about 8 gigs. Must have been the wrong game or something lol
