'dirty or damaged' disc error on Burnout Revenge from HDD

[jimbobjones]

Hi, was hoping you guys could help.

When loading any event on the 'Eastern Bay' tracks in Burnout Revenge, I get a black screen error with text explaining the disc is damaged or dirty.

Obviously I'm playing this from the HD, so no optical disc as such, but the error persists. I have tested this on a friends console and also tried downloading another copy of the game and ftping it over to rule out a bad install. No change. 

Is there some sort of patch for this game, or is it a noted issue? I cant see anything else about it.

Both machines were 1.6 boxes with basic Aladdin chips and EvoX M8 bios. I also have here various 1.0, 1.4 and 1.6 xboxes with x3 chips, but i haven't tested this as yet as i don't currently suspect the bios? should i?

Hope you can help,

Cheers!

Dirty or damaged disc error displayed when playing from the hard drive generally means that not all the files are present on the hard drive.  Something may be missing from the archive you downloaded or not all the files were uploaded to the hard drive when you FTP'd them to it.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

It a strange one, that's what I had presumed and was why i tried a different download.

Maybe the recent one I downloaded was also corrupt, both from the same source? On ftp, there was no failed transfers either time?

Should I see if I can find another source?

Cheers

Hi, i found a pal iso and extracted it using xdvdmulleter and ftp'ed it over to the xbox. No issues playing the eastern bay tracks so considering this sorted. no idea why the ntsc version isn't working though. I suppose i could just have found my original copy and played it from the drive, but wheres the fun in that!

thanks all!
