Re: Dual Layer

It already read dual layer DVDs.
Use Bitsetting to fool the Xbox into thinking it's reading a pressed Dual Layer DVD.

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.

Re: Dual Layer

Game backups require a mod chip to be played. This is something you need to get in your area, and someone adept witha soldering iron to do.

Bitsetting tools are available for many, many drives.
Please do a search for the brand of your drive and "bitsetting" on the forums. There are already too many "How do i bitset?" posts on the forums.

As to how to copy a dual layer game to a single layer DVD, I cannot be sure, as the instructions are usually game specific. Many games however use dummy files to make them uncopyable.

If you have a liteon 451, 851, 812, then you can flash it to an 832 drive which is dual layer capable.
If you have an NEC drive, they may also be upgradable.
