The content is specific to the EEPROM of the Xbox. I have done a test before.

1) Download Kola Cell with EEPROM 1.
2) Flashed Xbox with EEPROM 2.
3) Content disappeared in the game.
4) Flashed Xbox back with EEPROM 1.
5) Content re-appeared in the game.

What carries the protection, is it something that is downloaded or is it the origional game? Is the game xbe replaced by an updated version?

Anyone experienced with cracking here? Just convert the xbe to an exe using cbx and try and find all the protection routines, work out what patches need to be made and make the equivalent to the xbe.

Crooklynkat has the right idea cause I tried it with Ghost Recon Island Thunder I had an OXM disc with 2 levels on it.
Installed it on my xbox.... ftp'd in to my xbox found the files and sent to my roommates xbox and played the game and those 2 extra levels were there on his and they work.

Well that's interesting. I wonder if content off the OXM disc is different than downloaded content.

I have downloaded content on one of my xboxs, and i tried using XBSM to copy it over to my other xbox and I also tried using FlashFXP to copy the folder over from Tdata. Both times I received the 'corrupted data' error when trying to load it. (and this is also content from GRIT)

Unless I missed some of the data... I think there was just one folder out of TDATA for GRIT. What files did you bring over?

The folder in my case was 55530007 is that the same as yours ?
Within that folder i have a file XboxOptions.dat
and a folder $C within that folder is 2 more 5553000700000001 and 5553000700000002

The files in the first one are as follows
contentimage.xbx
ContentMeta.xbx
d02_refinery.rsb
d02_refinery_sky.pob
directory.txt
dl_xd02_brfg-box.rsb
dl_xd02_shots.rsb
dyn_grass_a_xd06.qob
dyn_grass_b_xd06.qob
strings_1_en.res
strings_1_fr.res
strings_1_gr.res
xd02_refinery.env
xd02_refinery.glb
xd02_refinery_dcm.mis
xd02_refinery_dcm_chars.glb

The second folder is

contentimage.xbx
ContentMeta.xbx
directory.txt
dl_xd01_brfg-box.rsb
dl_xd01_shots.rsb
strings_0_en.res
strings_0_fr.res
strings_0_gr.res
xd01_beach_dcm.mis
xd01_beach_dcm_chars.glb

I'm hoping that is the same for you. Was yours from the OXM disc as well or XBLive! ?

Yup, that was the folder I grabbed. 55530007 with a folder inside $C.
I didn't look at all the file particulars, but I just took that whole folder and transferred it from one xbox to the next.

Mine was Downloaded from Live. It is the Oil Refinery Level.
The folders inside $C must contain the level info. I haven't checked, but I probably only have 1 folder inside $C.

And the xboxs you are using have different eeproms?
What did you use to transfer the data?

Xbox-Savage · « **Reply #38 on:** December 20, 2003, 08:58:00 PM »

so far i know this :

$c is content folder (maps , weapons, mechs)

$u is Download menu (were you choose the content to download)

Th3_H0unD · « **Reply #39 on:** December 21, 2003, 03:09:00 AM »

hmmm well both boxes have a flashed TSOP X2-4977
I used Flash FXP to transfer the folder from my xbox to my pc
then from my pc to rommmates XBOX

Hmm, well it sounds as if the content you have isn't eeprom specific like the actual downloaded content. Maybe they had to leave that off of the OXM discs?

When I get some time this week (still gotta finish holiday shopping and all...) I'll see if I can get both version of the content and then compare them.

The other thing I plan on doing is making a backup of my HD and then downloading the content and then comparing to see what files are new and what has changed. I'll also grab the files from my other xbox and compare them to the new ones I downloaded to see if they vary.

And yes, I understand that getting the OXM discs is probably the easiest way to get downloadable content, but that's not really the point.

One thing I noticed and i'm not sure if this is anything of importance however when you edit the directory.txt
Out of the list in that file there is one that is in the folder but not in the list and that is contentimage.xbx

I don't know why

Who said that ? Nobody ..... I cannot test the XBLive! content for I don't have an XBLive! Account nor do I have an Xbox that can go on XBLive! I've successfully copied the downloadable content from the OXM disc to other system(s) but can not test the XBLive!

Well there is a possability with the OXM content maybe, but about content directly from Live, that can not be copied between Xboxes.
