SPPV claims The Godfather can boot arbitrary signed XBEs. He also claimed The Hulk bonus disc and Wreckless: Yakuza Missions have “unsigned XBEs for booting video without the dongle”. Angerwound also had another game? The Godfather numbers on disc: 026063 585401 / 2606358 / The Godfather The Game: Limited Edition? NOT UPC 5014437812834, 14633165401, 014633165401
 * For signed XBEs set to boot from DVD+R, you must have a burner set to burn discs with layertype set to “read-only” (instead of “recordable”) and software to set the booktype to “DVD-ROM”. Drives come from the factory with the layertype set, and it may be a manufacturing mistake that drives were sold with it set to read-only. Drives capable of burning Xbox / Xbox 360 games seem to have the correct layertype set. There are utilities out there to check the layertype of a disc. Burners set the layertype bits at the start of a burn.
