Ripping XBOX Games Question

[Neo369]

is there any advantage to using DVD2XBOX to rip a game to my HDD over just doing a direct rip (selecting all files in a filemanager and copying to F:\Games\<game name>)? is one faster than the other, or give a better working backup somehow?

I've never found any difference between the two, except that if a file fails to copy, DVD2Xbox will keep going and then tell you how many files failed at the end, whereas if a file fails to copy in XBMC, it stops copying everything.

use dvd2xbox a few games need patching and its built into dvd2xbox as they wont work if you directly copy the games over....think the first one was the matrix but there where a few after that
