I backed up this using Xplorer when it first came out and haven't had a xbox 360 for about 2 or 3 years now.
I managed to locate my gamesave from back then and when i restore it i see nothing when i reconnect my HDD to the 360.

My File structure is as follows:


451007b              ( Directory ) ( Now when i transfer this directory the 360 doesn't see the save anymore )

11540F4914CA   ( Subdirectory )
dateinfo.xbx      ( 1 KB ) File
TitleImage.xbx   ( 10 KB ) File
TitleMeta.xbx     ( 1 KB ) File

Maybe my backup is corrupt but don't think so, i burned it several years back and restored it from the burned disc to ensure it worked and then contrubuted it 360gamesaves.com and even bought the adapter
they sold and had an account but my account is now gone.The forum admin just ignores my emails. If
he would only send me the Phe0nix donated save i offered to donate $ to the site.

Not only did i have a backup of this game save that i extracted off the HDD via Xplorer360 but when i sold my console 2 years ago i kept my memory card as it had my game save on it. When i put it into a 2008 console it showed up as corrupted , But it was good last time i used it 2 years ago. I only had it stored in
its plastic case stored in nightstand that i never go in.

I beleive that updates over the last 2 years have changed the way gamesaves are stored on the HDD. I viewed a gamesave created for the same game on a 2008 console via xplorer360 connected to a new HDD and the file system is much different than mine from 2 years back.

2008 Gamesave :  ( NFSMW )

44107D9     -   Folder
00000001   -    Folder
ProfileName   -   File         ( This file is named the same name of the profile that the game was saved under )


2006 Gamesave  :  ( NFSMW )

4541007b           -   Folder
11540F4914CA    -   Folder      ( contains 3 files :   Profilename,SaveImage.xbx and SaveMeta.xbx )
dateinfo.xbx       -   File
TitleImage.xbx   -   File
TitleMeta.xbx     -   File


I used the same release of Xplorer360 from 2 years ago to access the save i had stored on my memory card as it hasn't changed in 2 years as the HDD's have and the gamesave directory structure shows up just as the gamesave that i backedup off my 2006 HDD did. So then i used this 2006 memory card and put it in a 2008 console and took a 2008 gamesave and copied it over to my 2006 memory card and it shows up
like the 2008 directory structure above. So this shows that the console had changed the way it saves gamesaves and explains why my gamesave it showing up as corrupted on my memory card and the save i pulled off the HDD in 2006 doesn't show up at all when stored on the HDD and when copied to the memory card it too shows up as corrupt. So MS stole my gamesave by changing the filesystem on the 360.

im not sure if this is a error, but i transferred a lost odyssey save from a 20gb drive to a 120gb drive (with xplorer360), under memory, it shows the save, but when i go to load it ingame, it says no saves could be found.
