Is your xbox360 a PAL system? If you are in the USA, it is most likely a NTSC system, not PAL, and you should only be using NTSC games for it.

Can someone help me? 😅 It's an odd error and shouldn't happen as far as I read.

Is it important to use Verbatim DVDs? I read a lot that those DVDs are better. Is Phillips also okay?

Always get quality DVD media.
Verbatim is the golden standard.

You will have to patch all your ISOs and you will have to burn XGD3 games with a burner that is compatible with the Burner Max Payload tool.

Regarding region, most 360 games are Region free, ABGX can check this for you.
Try and get your games in the region that the console was released in, you can try RF or other region games but your mileage may vary.

So Phillips DVDs are no good?

I checked th game and dvd with ABGX but there was nothing wrong. Sonic Unleashed is a XGD2 Game, how can i burn a XGD3 game then? Also isn't ABGX patching the game already? How can I do that?

Burned it at 2.4x speed?
ABGX auto patches a game if it needs to, if it doesn't do that, it either doesn't need patching or is patched.
Burn XGD2 and XGD3 with IMGBurn.
Tutorial on how to patch with ABGX... I have written a very detailed tut on GBAtemp, a little google work will help you find the results you need.

Burning games is as easy as selecting the dvd file in IMGburn, and hitting burn on 2.4x speed.
Yep, did that. Not to sound rude, if it was easy as you say i wouldn't be here again 🤣

Sooooooo.... I just burned two Dvds on different PCs and burners and they also don't work. I used your guide with the same options etc. I'll flash the drive again maybe it'll change I don't know. But it's not my burner or pc or dvds, as far as I know everything is alright as far as the Programs say...

I definitely recommend using Verbatim, best media for Xbox 360 burning.
Well yeh thx, but in case the disc drive has an issue I would buy new dvds for nothing... It's kinda waste of money... I'll see maybe I still have one of those disks if not I don't know what else to do than buying I guess...

See if the drive reads and plays a real DVD game, if so, then drive is ok and most likely its the media, or burn settings.

Real DVD game? Like an original 360 game?
Settings or burner can't be the issue In my case, as far as I know, like already said, I check everything 🥲

Yea like a real game disc. I remember in the past trying different brand media and having troubles also. Verbatim was the one media that always worked. Another option is RGH modding it, but that would require some soldering of a few wires to the motherboard. But after you RGH it, no more burning disc, games are on a usb external hdd. Good luck.
