Download the enigmah videomode switchdisc.

Boot from it. Your screen will be flickering, but you should see something to tell you it's running.

for PAL press A
for NTSC press B

Switch off the Xbox and it should be ok when you boot.

You're in the US so I'm guessing you'll need NTSC.

Playing installed games without the disc?

I got my xbox 360's disc drive spoofed/or/flashed, not sure but I am wondering how i can play my installed games without a disc. Do I need a JTagged xbox 360 to do this? And if not why aren't I able to play without the disc? Thanks, Derek.

Re: Playing installed games without the disc?

because the 360 reads the security sector from the disc on intial loading then spins down and runs from the hdd, its basically to make sure you dont just copy the game to hdd then take it back to the shop lol

Re: Playing installed games without the disc?

Umm, i meant, how can I flash my 360 to play games without the disc? Or is that not possible? Because i know my friend has a JTag 360, and he can play games installed, without the disc. That is where this question came from. Could I get certain firmware to play 360 games without the disc?

And that is not what I am trying to do. I have 2 xbox 360s, one flashed, and another stock, with warranty. I am wanting to basicly copy those games over to my other xbox 360"The flashed one" Because i don't feel like spending all my money on that stuff. If i bought it once, i shouldn't have to buy it again, thanks.

Okay now i understand... No unless its a Jtagged console you cant play games without the disc, the firmware is only to trick the console into thinking backup copies are original discs.

Ahh okay. haha. Do you know of any good ways to make backup copies besides hotswapping? I've been looking all over.

Re: Playing installed games without the disc?

i can remember reading somewhere that this can be done but only by hotswapping when the game has already started!

Just seems like a lot of hassle to me!

true, but this is an outdated way and prone to disc read errors

it involves taking apart the disc drive

and you don't get SSV2 either

Re: Playing installed games without the disc?

you would have flash the drive every time you wanted to make a backup, or you could flash with an older firmware (eg ixtreme 1.6) that has 0800 firmware as well as ixtreme firmware

then you would have to disassemble your xbox and hook the SATA up to your computer each time
