Hello
I've been searching around the forums for a few hours but haven't found any help with my specific problem.
I'm trying to make backups for an NME V1.2 Modchip. I have a pioneer 107 DVD drive that I can use for the hotswap method using wxripper. I can get the iso onto my HD but i'm unsure what to do after this.
I have the associator program from underdogs website but as usual the underdog instuctions are rubbish. They only seem to give clear instructions for an xtreme rip. I don't even know what that is. My guess is that it involves using the xbox 360 drive but i don't want to have to wire up my 360 every time i want to make a backup.
Is it possible for me to backup games capable of playing on the NME using the hotswap method?
What software or extra files do i need?
any help would be great.
Thanks
Baz

I'm sorry but all the jargon in a couple of the guides has me stumped.

Is this the main one to follow? It looks to be the most straightforward guide.

Sorry, still no luck. All these guides seem to suggest that they use the actual 360 drive.
I want to use the pioneer 107 dvd drive i have here. I tried to backup PGR3 last night and did a hot swap, ripped the dvd iso to my HDD and then used associator to convert the iso to NME format and burned the iso with imgburn but there still seems to be something wrong.

I really need a little bit of help here.

Here's what i need:
1. Using a pioneer 107 PC IDE DVD drive i want to rip a game to the HDD.
2. When I have the iso on the hard drive as an iso, what do I change to make it NME format and how do I
do this?
3. I have every burning software there is. What one do I use?

Any specific help would be great because every guide i have read speaks of ripping the disks from samsung and hitachi drives with or without modded firmware.
The 2 360s I am using to play the games on have NME 1.2 chips installed and the firmware is untouched. One is an MS25 samsung drive and the other is an MS28 samsung drive.
