Multi-disc Games With Xexmenu, Mass Effect 2, Lost Odyssey, etc Options

He shouldn't need to patch the xex unless he's running freeboot.

What are you trying to do? Copy it from dvd using the xbox to do it?

Extract both the iso's on your pc and drag and drop one folder into the other, doesn't matter which (dragging disc 1 into disc 2 will make it ask for disc 1 for a split secod and vice versa). Then just launch it from xexmenu.

been tryin all day and still no good, i dont get it. ive ripped my copy several times even tried downloading it to see if my rip was bad but still no luck... trying to patch the xex in xexmenu just makes it freeze. is there anyway to patch the xex in windows at all?

[savagepoop]

well i solved the problem...
i removed the system update folder and now it boots fine.... added it back and it wont boot again so removed it and it works great now.
strange problem
now if i would have only thought of that 24 hours ago....

Has anyone managed to complete the game with the combined method? It crashes for me when starting the suicide mission with "This disc is unreadable".

i finished it. didnt overwrite any files

[hfmls]

guys do this:

creat for example mass effect 2 folder

copy all files from DVD1 to that folder
copy all files from DVD2 to that folder

if it asks if u want to overwrite any file when copying DVD2, say NO.

just let it copy all files without overwriting the ones you've already copied from DVD1.

that should work. here works.




if not, try the opposite. overwrite when asked.
for me it worked first way.

I tried to do this last night but it just crashed with a black screen after I imported my ME1 character. That said though, I've had a few crashes.... I loaded MAME last night (no games in there, just to try it) and it crashed after I pressed a few buttons (the screen just freezes, won't respond to the guide button or anything).

This is how I got ME2 working:

1. Extracted Disc 1 to a folder on my PC.
2. Extracted Disc 2 to the same folder, overwriting EVERY common file, including default.xex
3. FTP'd said folder to the 360.
4. Created a quickboot shortcut.

Apart from crashing one time at the disc change prompt, the game is working flawlessly for me, it just flashes 'Insert Disc 1' occasionally then continues as normal. FWIW I'm running without a DVD drive attached, shouldn't make any difference but maybe it does?

So if that works then you should also be able to create GOD file once both cd's are extracted and all common files are overwritten, then recreate a ISO then use with ISO2GOD ? Just thinking out loud.

I'm hoping so, that's my plan eventually as well.

I did this and when I try to start a new game it tells me to insert disc 1.

Did anyone have this issue?


Thanks

when copying disc2 when it asks for replace files, press skip

For me it just flashes up 'insert disc 1' for a split second then carries on

Yep, this is working for me now as well. All I did differently was copy disc 1 over disc 2 and chose to skip files, but I doubt it makes much difference. All works anyway
