find me a game that isnt in .iso format.
One on the ORIGINAL disc
yea, on the disc is an xbox iso image. :shock: :roll:
On the disc is an XFAT (Xbox File Allocation Table) file system. Like NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, etc., the FAT tables tell the computer where to read the next entry for a file. This is regardless of the media format - HDD, or DVD.
An ISO (technically an XISO to distinguish the Xbox version from the industry standard 9660 format) image is referred to as an ISO image for a reason - it is NOT the files themselves, but a bit for bit copy of the disc structure. By taking this bit for bit copy, it can then be burnt bit for bit to compatible media. Alternately, it can be accessed virtually by a driver that knows how to read the file and jump through the file as if it were a complete file system.
Does it really make a difference? No - only an old school computer scientist could cares about the semantics

DeanO - Get Quix. It kows how to read an ISO image, and let you FTP the contents to your Xbox.
