Read this thread through and through and decided to mod my memory unit. However, in one of the guides teh creator stated that u have to keep the USB seperate from the 360 when the memory unit is in place. I tried this without that type of setup and had them directly connected. I had no trouble copying/ duplicating files and profiles from winXP to the Xbox 360.
Dont know if i ever got around to telling yall why i have to take the usb end off using my design.
The reason you have to keep the memory unit and the usb end seperate with my design is because using the 6 pin connector, it acts like a 10 gauge wire. That is too much for the memory unit and it will not read it if you leave the usb end connected and but the memory card back in the xbox 360.
Your design works becase you solderd a usb cable directly to the card. You dont have the bigger wires like i did and you dont have the connector in the middle. So yes you can leave the usb on with your design.
