CD Burning

Ive burned a few cd's for map packs. They work occasionally, but most of the time they don't load or they are laggy. How do I fix this?

Burning a CD with halo 2 maps is not illegal as long as you do have the original halo 2 dvd.

Try burning the CD at lower speed, if you burnt at x52 or x48 try a lower speed, if you still have problems, it's probably your writable CD which the xbox can't read, choose a different writable CD.

make sure your making the iso correctly and burn it at 4x.

It could also be the CD manufacturer that is your problem, I've had great success with sony dvds and Maxwell CR W+. It may even just be your lens that needs cleaning. To clean it open the drive and blow compressed air into your dvd drive.

You cant play games off of a CD only a DVD.

Wrong. I have a cd with a few modded Halo2 maps on it.

Xbox won't read most of CD RW+, use CD-R, if possible not the ones that are blue.

I once bough some DVD+R disks for a ton of money... I then realized... My laptop couldn't burn those types of disks...

It's actually the other way around neodos. Most recommend using cd rw's because the xbox has an easier time reading them than cd-r's. If you have a phillips drive in your xbox then it may read the cd-r. I have a phillips drive and it reads them usually. Sometimes it gives me some sass and takes a few tries to load the content but it works. The people over at xbox-scene will tell you to use either dvd-r, dvd+r, or cd-rw's to burn content that your xbox will use.

O and no worries Dark, I still love you.
