Please make sure you have all of the programs above before you continue. All are needed to complete this task.
Downloading Games
1. Go to Xbox360iso.com and sign up. The sign up page is located here if you for some reason have a hard time finding it.
2. After you've signed up, you may have to confirm your email. I forget if they make you or not. It should say if you need to directly after signing up.
3. After you've completed your sign up, go here. This is the Xbox360 DVD Game Downloads section. In this section of the forum many generous people upload games for others to download.
Click on any thread that is stickied in that section as those are the most useful. You'll want a thread that has [MU] in the title because that means that you will be downloading from Megaupload and Megaupload has fast downloading speeds and is easy to download from. Here's a good example of what a thread title like that would look like:
This is a download for Naruto, but you can see that this person has uploaded the game to Rapidshare, Megaupload, FileServe, and FileSonic. That's what all the abreviations mean.
Once you've found your thread, use Ctrl+F to find the game that you want.
4. Now, open Jdownloader. Install it if you haven't already. Make sure that you install all updates if it says it has any.
Once you have Jdownloader open and ready to go, it should look like this:
Jdownloader's purpose is to take multiple links and let you download them with ease. You can just copy all of the links and they will pop up in Jdownloader and you can download them just like that. No need to sit at your computer downloading them one by one.
5. Now, the download links for the game that you want might be up for download in different ways. You may get a bunch of links that just need to be copied into Jdownloader, you may get one DLC file that needs to be downloaded, you may get safelinks, or you may get a text document that contains the download links. I will explain how to work with each one.
Regular links:
1. Copy all of the links that are provided. 2. Check Jdownloader now. The links should appear in the Linkgrabber section of the program as seen below:
As you can see, there are 9 links and they are all online. This is essential. The links need to be online. If they are offline, then you will not be able to download from those links and you will have to find new links to download your game. Being offline means that the uploader either deleted the game or the website hosting the game (Megaupload) deleted the files.
3. Now double click on where it says safelinking.net links [9] in my image above. Yours will say something completely different, but I am just telling you what line you are going to want to click on.
4. After you have clicked on that line, a new half window should pop up towards the bottom of Jdownloader. It will look similar to this:
5. See where it says Save to? That's what we need to change. Click on the Select button on the right of that line. A new window should pop up. Change the location to anywhere on your computer that you want to download the game to. I changed it to my desktop.
6. Once you have changed where you want the game to download to, then press the play button:
Your game will begin to download. You will probably have to accept Megaupload's terms before the download starts. Make sure you do that. Now just leave your computer alone and do something else. Depending on how fast your internet is, your game may take anywhere between 2 - 24 hours to download. I would say 2 hours at a minimum unless you have an AMAZING connection and 24 hours at the maximum if you have the worst connection ever. It takes me about 5 hours to download a game and my download speed normally maxes out at about 380 kb/sec. You can check what yours maxes out at at the top of Jdownloader.
DLC File:
1. Once you have downloaded the DLC file, you need to open it up in Jdownloader to get to the links. The DLC file is just a container for the links.
2. With that said, open Jdownloader and go to Links > Add Links > Add Container.
Find your DLC file and open it.
3. Check Jdownloader now. The links should appear in the Linkgrabber section of the program as seen below:
As you can see, there are 9 links and they are all online. This is essential. The links need to be online. If they are offline, then you will not be able to download from those links and you will have to find new links to download your game. Being offline means that the uploader either deleted the game or the website hosting the game (Megaupload) deleted the files.
4. Now double click on where it says safelinking.net links [9] in my image above. Yours will say something completely different, but I am just telling you what line you are going to want to click on.
5. After you have clicked on that line, a new half window should pop up towards the bottom of Jdownloader. It will look similar to this:
6. See where it says Save to? That's what we need to change. Click on the Select button on the right of that line. A new window should pop up. Change the location to anywhere on your computer that you want to download the game to. I changed it to my desktop.
7. Once you have changed where you want the game to download to, then press the play button: [IMG]
Your game will begin to download. You will probably have to accept Megaupload's terms before the download starts. Make sure you do that. Now just leave your computer alone and do something else. Depending on how fast your internet is, your game may take anywhere between 2 - 24 hours to download. I would say 2 hours at a minimum unless you have an AMAZING connection and 24 hours at the maximum if you have the worst connection ever. It takes me about 5 hours to download a game and my download speed normally maxes out at about 380 kb/sec. You can check what yours maxes out at at the top of Jdownloader.
Safelinks:
1. Safelinks are just normal links that are basically encoded so that they are harder to get to. A safelink will look something like this:
Obviously it won't be partially blacked out, but you get the gist. Just copy that link and make sure you have Jdownloader open. It should then automatically open the actual links in Jdownloader. It may ask for a password. If it does, then the password should be supplied in the thread that you are in.
2. Check Jdownloader now. The links should appear in the Linkgrabber section of the program as seen below:
As you can see, there are 9 links and they are all online. This is essential. The links need to be online. If they are offline, then you will not be able to download from those links and you will have to find new links to download your game. Being offline means that the uploader either deleted the game or the website hosting the game (Megaupload) deleted the files.
3. Now double click on where it says safelinking.net links [9] in my image above. Yours will say something completely different, but I am just telling you what line you are going to want to click on.

Text File:
1. Download the text file.
2. Open the text file.
3. All of the links to the game should be provided in the text document. Copy all of them and make sure you have Jdownloader open.
4. Check Jdownloader now. The links should appear in the Linkgrabber section of the program as seen below:
As you can see, there are 9 links and they are all online. This is essential. The links need to be online. If they are offline, then you will not be able to download from those links and you will have to find new links to download your game. Being offline means that the uploader either deleted the game or the website hosting the game (Megaupload) deleted the files.

Stealth Patching Your Game:
6. After your game has finished downloading, you should have multiple RAR's in one place. Open the one that is labeled part1. In my case it is XboxPirate.com-Game34-DISC1.part1
7. Once you have it open you should see something similar to this:
There will be a .iso file for sure and possibly a .dvd file. Extract the .iso file by right clicking on it. A menu like this will popup:
Click on the Extract to the specified folder option and choose a location to extract the file to. I would just put it on my desktop for simplicity's sake.
8. Now open ABGX360. Hopefully you already installed it. Once you have it open, follow
this tutorial. That tutorial explains how to setup your settings for future uses of ABGX360 and will teach you how to stealth patch your ISO. This is VERY important because you will need to stealth patch your ISO if you want to stay safe on Xbox LIVE. Going on Xbox LIVE without a stealth patched ISO will put you in danger of getting banned.
9. Once you have finished stealth patching your ISO, then you are going to have a .dvd file located in the same place that you extracted your .iso to. This is the file that we will be burning to your disc.
10. Open up IMGBurn. It should look similar to this:
11. The first thing you have to do is go to Tools > Settings and then click on the Write tab. There, look at Layer Breaks (For DL Media), and click the User Specified button. In the text box, type in 1913760.
12. Then go back to the main screen after saving your settings and click on Write image file to disc and then you should be at this screen:
13. Now click on the folder with a magnifying glass on it. It should look like this:
14. Now search for your .dvd file. As I said, it should be located in the same place where you extracted your .iso file to.
15. After you have Opened your .dvd file, put your dual layer disc in your drive.
16. Now the button at the bottom of IMGBurn should be lit up unlike before. Click that button to write your ISO to your disc.
If you are burning an XGD3 game, you will probably get an error / multiple errors during the burning process. Here's what you should once you start burning an XGD3 game:
1. Choose "Write image file to disc", and after loading the .dvd file, click "Write". 2. ImgBurn will pop up a notice saying that there is not enough space on the disc to burn the image, and asks if you would like to continue anyway. Click "Yes". 3. Another message might pop up saying that optimal layerbreak position exceeds L0 capacity. Click "Yes". 4. An error will then pop up noting that "Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed". Click "Continue". 5. The image will begin writing to the disc. 6. Nearing the end of the write process, ImgBurn will pop up an error at around 97% or 98% (this is what we want -- it's intentional!). Click "Cancel". 7. A notice will then pop up asking if you would like ImgBurn to try and perform the "'Close Track/Session/Disc' functions". Click "Yes". 8. Let the disc finalize, and you're done!
It should take a pretty long time to burn depending on how good your computer is. Sometimes up to an hour to burn. Once it is done, just pop the disc in your flashed Xbox 360 and start playing.
