How To: Burn XBOX 360 Games On A Mac
Burning XBOX 360 Games On A Mac is relatively simple. All you need is the ISO of the game and the right software and you’re on your way to burning 360 games on your Mac.
The first thing you’ll want to do is download OSx360. This application is pretty much automated and handles much of the work for you. You could probably figure out on your own how to use this application to burn your games but I’ll give you a quick walk through just in case.
Download OSx360.app.zip
Once you’re done downloading, extract the file and place OSx360 into your applications folder. Now launch OSx360 from your applications folder. You should see something like this:
OSx360 Open
Once this screen pops up, you’ll need to drag your ISO ( game image ) to the big question mark. After you drag the image to the question mark it will verify the image and you’ll see a screen similar to this one.
OSx360 Verify
What you need to pay attention to here is making sure that everything is Valid and Everything has passed especially stealth. If you’ve downloaded an ISO that doesn’t have the stealth patch, don’t burn it or you will get banned from XBOX Live. Everything should look similar to the illustration above.
NOTE: If your ISO didn’t pass / validate everything then follow my tutorial for how to stealth patch your ISO here or everything seems to look good and the burn button doesn’t seem to do anything, then first if the extension is not ISO then you must rename it to .iso and then follow my tutorial on how to stealth patch your game. http://chris-fletcher.com/2009/06/07/how-to-stealth-patch-xbox-360-games-on-a-mac/
If everything looks good then go ahead and click on the Configuration button on the top right hand side of the application. You can mirror the configuration below. Once you’ve set your configuration settings you can close the configuration dialog.

If you haven’t done so already, go ahead and insert your blank DVD+R DL disc you might get the following popup, if you do just click on ignore and proceed to the next step.
Finder Inserted a blank DVD
Now you can click on the Burn button, you should get a screen similar to the below. Click burn and be patient as it takes a while to burn a dual layer DVD. I always burn at 4x and the discs turn out just fine. On a side note, I am using Memorex DVD+R DL discs and they haven’t left me hanging yet. You can pick up a pack of 15 at Wal-Mart for $20.00.
OSx360 Burn
When the burn has completed the disc usually auto mounts and opens DVD player instructing you to eject the disc and put it into the XBOX 360. Do as it says and enjoy your game 
I’m hoping that you’ve enjoyed the tutorial and as always if there’s anything I’ve left out or anything that you don’t understand, feel free to leave me a comment. Happy Burning

I am having the same problem as David (Skate 3 using OSx360) but i have no problems burning games and other stuff. I have burned NFS: Undercover and Skate 1 & 2 so far but i can’t burn skate 3 for some reason. If you can can you email me and help me? If not i can just check this.
Is modding required for playing on Xbox Live only? I do not want to mod my xbox 360, so I would be okay with only playing these games offline completely? Any help is appreciated……Is there any way to burn games you know of that requires no mod whatsoever?
how bout some laymen type detail buddy. WE aint all computer geeks
bushmaster,
I’m sorry but if you cannot understand the instructions I have posted then perhaps you should probably not attempt to burn backup’s

abbas,
You need to flash your 360, and then you can use ISOx360 to burn ISO files.
Chris
There is some guy on youtube that shows how to do it really well. It helped me out a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4baDWZ6cfY
Mark,
Thanks for sharing…

How do I know that the disc is actually being burned? Once I clicked burn the screen just reverted to “waiting for disc to be inserted”
Mike G,
Which software are you using? What type of disc are you using?
Chris
Hey Chris,
I’ve used OSx360 to burn games for a week now. I’m stuck using my friend’s MacBook Pro because my Windows laptop’s burner is fucked. I had a question about the burn process in OSx360. It’s really weird; I click burn and the screen reverts back to “Waiting for disc to be inserted”. However, if I let it sit like that for 30-40 minutes, the disc ejects, fully playable! Is there anything I can do to see some sort of progress bar?
ElvenMarth,
Have you tried using ISOx360 instead?
Chris
Hi Chris,
I am also not seeing a progress bar when I click burn, just like Mike G. However, if I let the program sit for 30-40 minutes, the disc ejects automatically and is fully working on my xbox.
Oops disregard my second comment
Hey it says my file is 0bytes and is unknown even though i passed it through abgx360 and it verified. Its halo reach btw
aquos,
What wave does abgx say it is?
