So I've been reading about xgd3 discs and so on and now i'm totally confussed reading so many posts and some conflicting.

What I want to know is - if i have an iso image of an xgd3 game what do I need to be able to play it on box? lt+2? new liteon burner? new burner flash f/w? - all going a bit whooooosh over my head right now

Sorry i'm sure in various posts this is covered but i cant make head or tail of some of it.

Thanks in advance

As of now to be able to 100% burn a game you need the new liteon burner with cfw and to be able to play it you need LT2.0 on your xbox. Just below this post i have posted the new burner fw and in that includes the info to burn that you need

ok thanks, with all this new f/w are we able to go on live yet? or is this still in the pipeline?

Also, i see people buying different liteon burners so not sure which one I should be going for?

Is anyone going to do an updated how-to sticky as I'm sure there are plenty of others out there that are as confused as I am and a step by step sticky would be good.

fat Box i'm using has a samsung in it and i'm still using LT1.1 on it, updates fine and still playing online ok, when ms sent out the updates to put all drives back to stock it did put my liteon back to stock but sammy was still fine should I still upgrade to lt2? It did a huge update the other day, could this possibly be for the xdg3 discs? and is it possible that it wil continue to work with the 1.1 still on it and run the xdg3 discs?

I ask this because i enjoy playing online and at the mo the sammy is doing a good job and as yet still not been flagged so dont want to do anything to it if I cant go online with it with lt2 on it.

Lastly, the liteon fat xbox i have that is back to standard, is the lt2 out for this?

Really appreciate all help and advice you've given

Ok with your Sammy box. You need to return the drive back to stock. Then install lt 2.01. You will find the firmware for this in the post I set up for the burner firmware. With your lite on drive you need to install lt 2.0. I will post a link later for that or search around the forum it's easy to find. Once both boxes are set up with lt you need to burn all new games on the new lite on desktop burner.

Lovely thanks

How about Live? with both box's and xdg3 discs?

Live is as safe as its ever been. Had forza online for around 6 hours last night with no probs. all I know at the moment with lt 2.0 is that it passes all current checks

Bad news. Not current lt fw for the hitatchi to be able to play new games. With your liteon box. Get the box updated to the new dash because the stock firmware is no longer 74850. When you update the dash the xbox will flash your drive to new stock firmware

[m9g]

The fw on the liteon is the standard one ms put back on there a few months ago when it did it to all box's through update - so are you saying hook liteon back up to network and let ms do latest update then flash it?

As my hitachi is still working fine after ms did last update will it not play xdg3 discs?

ah right yeah with the liteon i see what your saying now, if i flashed it then plugged it in ms would update the liteon which will get rid of the flash so your saying update first then flash

What liteon flash fw am i looking for? i have d/l a pack of all cfw but cant find LT+2.0 for the DG16D2S - xbins has a 1.9

This is not true and a bit misleading. To burn/play xdg3 discs you do not need to go out and buy a new burner. This is only the case if you want to burn your games on normal single layer media. Games can be burned as before with you existing burner drive if you are using Dual Layer media. LT+2.0 is required on the box.

Oh right, dvd writer arrived today, blimey that was quick only ordered it saturday evening. Surely you cant burn games to a single layer dvd?

I'm not sure which lt f/w to use for my DG16D2S, I have d/l the cfw pack which has loads in it but none of them mention my drive in the title
