For whatever reason, Burnout 3 hangs and refuses to load on the newly TSOP-flashed Xbox.

I tried changing every relevant setting I could find in UnleashX with no success.

Naturally, after all the work getting the Xbox repaired, softmodded, recovered and TSOP-flashed, I immediately suspected I had broken something else.

Fortunately, the Xbox was innocent.

HEX1GON over at ASSEMblergames helped me check the problem and the copy of Burnout 3 itself turned out to be bad.

So this was not a TSOP-flash compatibility problem and not an UnleashX configuration problem.

It was simply bad game data.

Sometimes the boring answer is the correct one.

In the meantime I still have Burnout Revenge, which is a personal favourite of mine.
