Tutorial: Burning XGD3 Backups in OSX - (Xcode / MacPorts / OSx360 Method)
Hey Everyone!
I know us Mac users tend to be fewer in numbers, but I'm sure there's a few out there looking for details on burning new XGD3 backups in OSX.
I've split this tutorial into two parts: (1) Setting Up the Tools and (2) Burning
Before Your Start / What You Need
1. Xcode Installer (Found on OSX Install CD (Snow Leopard) or in the Apple App Store (Lion) or Apple Developer Connection)
2. MacPorts - Download
3. OSx360 v1.0b4 - Download
4. A XGD3 backup ISO you ripped using the latest 0800 FW.
1. Setting Up the Tools
------Xcode------
[Lion] Simply open the App Store and download Xcode (Free) and start the Installer.
[SL] Insert your OSX Snow Leopard CD.
1. Start the Xcode Installer
2. Complete the Installation - Unless you have any specific needs keeping the default settings in the Installer will work just fine.
------MacPorts------
1. Install MacPort using the pre-made "dmg" Disk Images - it's easy and painless
2. Complete the MacPorts Installation
3. After finishing the installation, open a new Terminal session;
First Update the MacPort files by typing;
HTML Code:
sudo /opt/local/bin/port selfupdate
Next install "truncate" using the following command;
HTML Code:
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install truncate
Congrats! You're now ready to burn!
2. Burning the Backup ISO
1. Open a new Terminal window and navigate to where your ISO file is located (ie: go into the directory where you have saved your .iso file)
Example: If you ripped your ISO to your Documents folder and called it yourbackup.iso you would type the following the terminal window;
HTML Code:
cd /Users/[USER NAME]/Documents
NOTE: Replace [USER NAME] with your OSX User Name
2. Next, to truncate the ISO file, in the same terminal window type;
HTML Code:
/opt/local/bin/truncate yourbackup.iso 8547991552
NOTE: THIS WILL PERMANENTLY TRUNCATE THE ISO FILE - ENSURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THE ISO BEFORE USING THIS COMMAND, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-RIP YOUR ORIGINAL TO GET A COMPLETE ISO
3. Start OSx360 and Open the Configuration settings
4. Set the options below, and set the Layer Break to 2086912 - be sure to hit [return/enter] after entering the number.
5. Go to the "Burn" window, and select the truncated ISO, set the speed to 2.4x (or 4x) and the Method to "growisofs"
6. Hit Burn and Wait!
Congrats! You've Now Burned an XGD3 Backup in OSX!
I tried this method last night by after ripping my original GOW3 and everything worked like a charm.
I was able to Install the backup to the HDD without any issues.
Hope this helps some of the other Mac users here!
Cheers!
