Swirlygiver Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I used DVD2Xbox to put a number of games on my hd. It created a folder /DVD2Xbox in my games folder, but it isn’t a copy of DVD2Xbox. And I started to delete it and noticed it started taking games with it. What is this? And if I can’t delete without causing issue can I at least stop it from appear in my games list in my Dashboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 What version of DVD2Xbox are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swirlygiver Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’ll have to look, but it’s the one that was on the HeXEn2018 disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0tt0nm0ufh Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I've also seen this as well. I suspected it was because I tried to copy a game that failed due to dirty disc, but that's just speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swirlygiver Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 That’s kinda like what I’m wondering, like it’s some sort of index of incomplete files or something. I started to delete it, and it deleted like 3 games without, before I hit cancel. Everything seems to function fine if I leave it there, but it shows up in the game list, which is kinda irritating.

Swirlygiver Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Is there a way to make it a hidden directory, or name it in a way that the script doesn’t list it as a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuazyPat Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Where do you have DVD2Xbox located? I have mine installed in E:\Applications\DVD2Xbox. I've ripped a few games and haven't seen this happen. However, I did see XBMC4Gamers create a separate user profile for DVD2Xbox which was a little strange. Was able to delete it without issue.

HDShadow Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Late to this: has this odd problem been explained/resolved? I was wondering if it was a temporary file DVD2Xbox might have created containing part files or even just path locations of anything that failed to copy. You should read the message that appears when DVD2Xbox finishes the copying. If any files did not copy then that needs to be sorted at that point. I've not had any problem like that in a decade and never with original game discs only burned ISOs with disc batch faults. So I really cannot remember what options you're given at that point. I'm thinking that if you delete that file you're deleting the failed to copy files and it will delete the incomplete game at the same time too. Before that the game(s) probably still booted so you were not aware of any problem because the missing files were not critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'll be using DVD2Xbox for some old discs that need to be backed up. Really interested to know the answer / explanation. Anyone got the definitive answer to help NOObs like me? Thanks in anticipation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
