How to convert xbox 360 ISOs for Games on Demand
Now that the ISO of your game is ready (see previous article) we can convert it to GOD (Games on Demand) format or open it. Let's analize the GOD format first.
Download ISO2GOD and install it on your computer. Run it and the following screen will appear:
The first step is to configure the program. Select in which drives and directories we will save the temporary files and conversions, by clicking on "Settings" (1):
A menu will appear and you must choose the drives (and if you want folders) to save (2) the converted game, (3) temporary disk/folder used in the conversion and (4) uncheck the option to save the mounted .ISO, saving precious hard drive space.
That was my choice (of course it will vary from yours due to drive availability, free space, folder usage, etc.):
Save your changes (click the SAVE CHANGES button) and you will return to the main menu. Click on ADD ISO (5) and a new menu will appear:
In this menu click on Browse (6) for Image Location and choose your newly converted .ISO
After the .ISO is selected, the data will be populated in the fields. Click Add ISO (7) to return to the main menu.
In the main menu you can see that the image is waiting to be converted:
Notice that this screen is a list, so it is safe to say that it is possible to perform the conversion of more than one iso per operation. Repeat the necessary steps to add as many .ISOs as you wish (steps 5, 6, and 7).
To begin with the convert just click the Convert button (8)
The conversion begins and now all you have to do is wait for the process to finish!
At the end of the conversion the game folder will be available on the selected drive inside the OUTPUT PATH!
From this point we can already effectively send the game(s) to the hard drive of our RGH/JTAG xbox 360 console.
Considerations:
- for the "Rebuild Path" use an internal drive (or folder from a drive), for better performance and conversion speed.
- choose drives with enough space to receive the files and not waste time during the conversion.
We now have two options:
- using an external hard drive
- using an internal hard drive
