They won't.....they put softwafe to stop people stealing there games. There is a way around it but....Its on another web-site on how to...but its illegal if you don't have the game so backup all your others and just keep that one in the DVD tray _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

Lol...no its not bad there are a few posts about it on xbox-sence.com but they are jerks and if you ask they will tell you to RTFM and banned you. DONT CLEAR ANYTHING OUT. You have to change something but I didn't really read into it that much....go there to the forum and do a search. If I have sometime at work I will post a link for you. _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

I read this topic and the same guy you replyed it wont work posted like 5 links on this. I would say PM him and beg for the info. But the topic I read....you would have to burn a backup DVD to play it. which may mean you can't play it off the HDD...but if you have the game you shouldn't have a problem....Right...lol. _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

Ok, first of all, fixing a game to work from the HDD isn't illegal. And that post that you put up from XS doesn't really say much, Pson.
Makaveli, try upgrading your dashboard. I've backed up all my new EA games using DVD2Xbox off AID 3.03, and I run everything from XBMC which is my dashboard. XBMC's launcher protocolls even bypassed the dreaded "GTA:SA Dashboard cycle" and runs with trainers fine. So check out XBMC before completely freaking out. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

No whats illegal about that post is it tell you the only way to get the game working without the real game is to copy it and burn a backup (which they say they rented the games from blockbuster) next is EA games can not be played off the HDD. I read a few post last night and nope it doesn't have anything to do with traniners or changing the files around it just can't be done...the way you can is illegal and didn't want to point a new member of this site.... Breaking the law...lol. If you have gotten the 2006 EA sports games to work please post how because all the guys over on the other fourm never was able too _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

See? Upgrade DVD2Xbox (grab it from AID 3.03) and get XBMC, either as an app, or even as your dash. It's so hot as a dash. That too can be found on AID. Anywho, rip, load, play, no problem, ladies. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

Really Wow thank you for teaching us something. I never backup my EA games just because of that. I have another question for you and sorry for highjacking (but answered question done) How do you get the AID3.03 to work...don't you have to beef it up with Iso or something?? I have AID3 and its the best thing I own but the programs are older on it. _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

There's a vid tutorial on the AID site, just go to the homepage and scroll down, I think it's still in the news section. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."
