Default Burn XGD3 on OSX

Source

What you need:
truncate
growisofs, XboxBurner or OSx360
Links:
download truncate/dvd+rw-mediainfo/growisofs pack here or here
download XboxBurner here (XboxBurner bundles/installs growisofs and dvd+rw-mediainfo to the following dir: /Applications/XBoxBurner.app/Contents/MacOS)
download OSx360 here
Quote:
Terminal Code:
sudo /opt/local/bin/port selfupdate
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install truncate
Step 1:

Truncating an XGD3 ISO on OSX:
Quote:
Code:
/opt/local/bin/truncate myXGD3backup.iso 8547991552
Step 2:

Burning w/ XboxBurner GUI:
This is not possible yet as the LayerBreak field is fixed. Will update if/when XboxBurner is updated to support the required offset

Burning w/ growisofs using XboxBurner binaries:
Quote:
/Applications/XBoxBurner.app/Contents/MacOS/dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/rdisk5
(use this command to verify which drive is the DVD writer)
/Applications/XBoxBurner.app/Contents/MacOS/growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:2086912 -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/rdisk5=myXGD3backup.iso
(repace rdisk5 with the correct drive number)
Burning w/ growisofs (using attached binaries):
dump the 3 binaries into /usr/sbin
Quote:
dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/rdisk5
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:2086912 -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/rdisk5=myXGD3backup.iso
(again substitute rdisk5 with your DVD's drive number)

Burning w/ OSx360:
In OSx360 "Configuration" uncheck everything except for "Perform Action on File Open" and set to "Go to Burn View"
Check "Specify Custom Layer Break" type 2086912 *hit return/enter* then close the configuration window
Before burning set "Speed" to 4X (or 2.4X)" and "Method" to growisofs

Additional notes: ~ GATOR

I have been using OSx360 to burn my previous games, and recommend it for this. I do believe you still need to truncate before.
Update: Made source bigger, turns out Chris is blind. This is indeed a copy/paste, I saw no need to remake it, just sharing info for the users who burn games on OSX.

My mac works just fine thank you, also I'm pretty sure my built in drive can burn XGD3.
